He understood that we were looking for... More

Mr Wilson has a good package, and the places you stay in, and the food you eat are great. Our guide was interesting and informative, nice car and we loved both the Munnar and Backwaters experiences. It's tough choosing what to do re backwater trip etc, and there are a lot of operators in Cochin, but we can honestly recommend... More

We used Stanley Wilson Day Tours based on the recommendation of others on Trip Advisors and were not disappointed. Interestingly, Stanley Wilson is 100% Indian. He just has an English name. Anyway, we found Stanley Wilson to be fair and reasonably priced. Our driver, Justin, was on time, very patient, informative, and polite. We initially used Justin to drive us... More

We met Stanley in Fort Kochi and we were seduced by the way he talked to us. Not the ordinary tour operator talk, we felt we could trust him. We were looking for a houseboat with a reasonnable price and with the garanty of silence (no engine) and natural way (solar panels). Stanley understood perfectly that some tourists are actually...

Misty Green View was good considering what we had paid. All in all a great experience and we were even dropped off at our next destanation. Stanley... More

Had a wonderful trip. In particular our driver, Ganesh, was great. Very pleasant and was eager to point out interesting things during the journey, such as plant life, fruit, animals and local food. He even made arrangements to have some shoes that we had left in Munnar returned to us in Kochin. The host in Munnar, Das, was also amazing.... More

We visited Stanley Wilson after reading many good reviews on TripAdvisor. We've done the first half of our trip and have not been disappointed. Stanley was great to work with to plan our itinerary. He was very honest - for example, telling us that now is not a good time to visit a wildlife sanctuary, even though he could have... More
