The best possible way to enjoy a place you are travelling to is with the local tour operators. The local tour operators are those who are based in the travel destination themselves and have been living there since generations. With the guidance of the local tour operators, you would be able to view the different spots you visit along with them with their eyes and their knowledge which cannot draw any parallels with the experience of travelling with the commercial operators based in big cities.
The cruise lines you are booking for a trip to Kerala might ideally offer you shore excursions along with the package. You also might have been told that booking shore excursions with the local tour operators are perilous because their service is incompetent with that of the cruise shore excursions package. But, on the contrary, we, the team of Cochin Shore Excursions, take utmost care to make your trip to our land, Kerala, God’s own country, as memorable as possible.
The disadvantages of booking excursions with the cruise lines:
 Since the cruise lines don’t belong to the area, they themselves are not directly involved in your trip. They would select a local tour operator to organize your trip and take a huge percentage of commission in return. So you will have to shell out a large amount of money for the trip when actually, you could have saved a lot.
 Most of the tour packages advised by the cruise lines are rigid. There is no scope of customization based on your preferences.
 The charm of exploration loses when you are travelling with a huge group.
 You can miss out on a few rare gems of locations while travelling with cruise lines because they don’t know about the place as the local tour operators do.
