We just got back from a houseboat trip in Alleppey. The operator is a company called Global Vision Tours and they operates boat with the name AquaMelody. This is my second trip with this company. We went there the 2nd time because of the good experience we had the first time. However, the 2nd trip left a sour note because of their less than transparent pricing and incourteous customer service. We ended up paying Rs. 4,000 more on demand for services we did not ask for or us.

We don’t have any particular recommendations. We just turned up at the jetty and picked a boat that looked good.

Would you recommend a houseboat trip for a young family (we have a 2yr old)? Terrific guide/blog

I don’t have any specific company recommendations, but head down to the jetty and the houseboat operators will find you! Or you can ask through your hotel/guesthouse.

Regards,
