Both the driver Babu and our guide Matthew were very nice and accommodating. The driver explained a lot to us on the way and showed us animals. The guide completely adapted to our expectations in terms of the duration and difficulty of the hike through the tea plantation. We stopped at good restaurants for both breakfast and lunch, which were reasonably priced and the food was of good quality. On the way back we were free to stop at a chocolate factory and spice shop. However, you should be able to handle a lot of curves, as half of the way up the mountains is very curvy. All in all, definitely not a cheap tour, but it was definitely worth it!

When you are on a short time and you want to visit Munnar, then this is the tour you should book. I'm a solo traveler and never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. My guide had lots of knowledge about Kerala and Munnar in general, he's an approved tour guide by the government of Kerala so with him you are in safe hands. You will stop at some good restaurants and will visit interesting places and viewpoints in the greater Munnar area. The drive to and from Munnar is a bit long, but it's an experience you won't ever forget.

Great experience. Must have seen and experienced. Top guide and driver. They were just there for us all day. Stopped everywhere along the way that there was something to see and take pictures of.
