An awesome experience. Stunning scenery. - An excellent experience from start to finish. My guide was brilliant as we walked through the tea plantations. I thoroughly enjoyed the factory visit and feel much more informed about the tea production process. Munnar is absolutely stunning.

Happy tea trail journey♡ - It was such a nice experience and the guide Rajamani was so friendly, he reallv knew the place and even if English wasn't his first language he really made it clear. He also offered to make a lot of pictures while really taking the time to make the pictures to your liking, he was also funny and let us pose like we were plucking the tea. It was a very enjoyable experience ♡ I would recommend it I even booked it two hours in advance because i arrived in Munnar in the morning! And they still accommodated me. I would definitely recommend this trip!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tea Plantation Tour in Munnar – Highly Recommended - We were picked up in Munnar by our TukTuk driver Rajamani and taken to the tea plantations. Along the way and on site, he explained everything really well—you can immediately tell that he has a lot of knowledge and shares it with real passion. He was also extremely friendly and open. At the plantations, he even suggested poses for photos, which helped us get some great shots. After that, we visited a tea factory where we learned a lot about the different types of tea, how they are produced, and the differences between them. The tour ended with a tea tasting. In the end, Rajamani brought us back and even provided us with some snacks. A very warm-hearted and competent person—clear 5 stars and an absolute recommendation.

Brilliant and knowledgeable guide - Our guide was fantastic, not only did he have very good knowledge of the tea plantations but also everything else in this area, pointing out interesting plants, birds and rivers. He looked after us extremely well. After the tour we were waiting for our driver to collect us, we had been trying to see the elephants at Anakkulam, we thought we had missed them again, but our guide spoke with us and our driver and assured us it would be a good idea to still go up as they might come back, I was sceptical after so many failed wildlife attempts on our holiday, but this time Success!! We would not have gone up if it were not for him! Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I am so sorry I can’t remember his name but he took us out at 2pm on the 20th of Jan.

Very educated and patient guide - Priya was a great guide who even gave me a tour after the rest of the group had postponed the trip. She is very patient and educated. I learned a lot about the tea pickers lives and even visited one of their villages.

Total Scam! - This tour is a scam! the "English guide" was just a tuktuk driver who barely spoke English. he first dropped me off at the tea factory and then at a very small tea field where he sent me off to walk around by myself. and that was it, no walking on a tea trail, no explanations, nothing. total scam, do not book this!
