My partner and I did the overnight backwaters tour in March. Positives: - The large lagoon near the Arabian Sea was idyllic and a lovely place to eat lunch and have a siesta -The boatmen looked after us and found jackfruit after we asked for this, even though this wasn't widely available at the time - The food was delicious,...

We booked the overnight backwaters tour and we were disappointed by the route in that we spent most of the time either going down one major man made canal or moored up in the middle of a lake. We would therefore recommend that you clarify the itinerary first to make sure that you have a more varied trip. Neither of... More

After experiencing Stanley Wilson's Munnar tour at Misty Green View and a house boat tour which were both fantastic, we decided to book up for the Jungle Experience tour. This was an amazing experience. We travelled to Mudumalai National Park in Tamil Nadu with an excellent driver called Anu, who drove the long distance with great care. On arrival, he... More

We had a wonderful experience with Mr. Wilson. He arranged a lovely backwaters tour for us with a very pleasant driver and nice lunch by the water. The tour went smoothly, his English was excellent and we highly recommend his services. We also contracted Mr. Wilson for a trip to Munnar which was an equally pleasant experience. Shajahan was an...

We arranged for a full-day backwater tour of Kochi with Stanley Wilson Day Tours after reading the excellent reviews on trip advisor--we are glad we did. Mr. Wilson was responsive and professional. We were a bit concerned about whether the driver could meet us right at our cruise ship dock, but he did--and was even about 30 minutes early. We... More

Wow, just returned from Stanley Wilson's houseboat tour. Have to say this is one of the best things I have ever done! The backwaters are stunning and it is so wonderful to see them on one of Stanley's non-motorised boats. So peaceful! Also, as the boats are smaller (just 2 people per boat), it was possible to sail down the... More

A friend and I booked a two day Munnar trip with Stanley and it was the best part of my stay in Kerala. Stanley is professional, organized, and when we got to the property up in the hills, my jaw dropped at the stunning beauty of the view. There were several other travelers staying in the other bedrooms of the... More

Wilson is a very nice travel agent who welcomes you with a smile to his office. We booked the two days Munnar tour with him and were very happy with the decision. Our driver John was very nice and tried to explain as much as he could. The homestay in Munnar's tea plantage hills has an amazing view and is... More

When we were planning our trip to Kerala, I have to confess that I did have some doubts about Stanley Wilson Tours - despite all the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor, it just seemed too good (and too cheap) to be true! After numerous emails from the very patient Stanley, I felt reassured and we went ahead and booked a... More

Had a great time on the backwater tour. We stopped on a canal, walked through the village to the other side and had a swim in the sea. The water was perfect and the beach was deserted, it felt amazing. The food on the boat was fantastic and we were left clutching our full bellies. The boat crew were really... More
