Our Guest's Amazing Feedback

We recently booked a full day Jewish Heritage tour with Stanley from Aaron tours. He provided us with a mini bus, driver and tour guide. His guide Saba was outstanding. He did a fabulous job of bringing us to the various jewish sites and synagogues, He also provided us with the complete history of life today and years ago.

My wife and I had a wonderful Jewish Heritage tour of Cochin with Stanly. We very much enjoyed & appreciated having such a knowledgeable & accomodating guide. The driver was also very good. We highly reccomend this company if you are travelling to Cochin. Thank you Stanly for showing us a part of India we were not familiar with
