We were on a business trip to India with only one free day which was thankfully in Cochin. My Joyce offered a half day tuk tuk tour which sounds just the ticket after a week of taxis, hotels and airports. My Joyce and his driver are super friendly, very knowledgeable and relaxed. his recommendation of lunch at the Tissin hotel was spot on and we had we enjoyed the best meal so far in India. Thanks Mr Joyce for making our visit so memorable.
