Kochi Travel Recommendation: A Review of South Tourism and Cholan Tours Car Service
Kochi Travel Recommendation: Why I Trust South Tourism & Shawn Dsouza
By Shashi Bellamkonda | Travel Log
There is a specific anxiety that comes with arriving in a new city. You step off the train, the humidity of Kerala wraps around you, and the wall of sound from the platform hits you. In that moment, staring at your phone trying to get a signal for Uber or Namma Yatri can feel like a battle.
We avoided that battle entirely on our recent trip to Kochi, thanks to a recommendation from friends that I am now passing on to you: Shawn Dsouza at South Tourism.
The "Human" Advantage
I live my life in technology. I analyze it, I write about it. But when I am on holiday, I have found that the efficiency of an app cannot compete with the accountability of a human being. South Tourism (a unit of Cholan Tours Private Limited) isn't just a car hire; it's a destination management company, and you can feel the difference in the service.
The experience began long before we reached the station. Booking with Shawn was seamless—handled over WhatsApp and email with the kind of responsiveness that puts you at ease. He didn't just book a car; he managed our arrival.
Arrival Without the Chaos
When our train pulled in, we didn't have to navigate the parking lot maze. We were met right at our coach by Ulfath, a representative from the agency. There is a quiet dignity in being received properly. Ulfath guided us through the crowd and introduced us to our driver, Vasanthu.
The drive to the Forte Kochi Hotel was exactly what a holiday transfer should be: safe, smooth, and informative. Vasanthu navigated the Kochi traffic with the ease of a local, allowing us to simply watch the colonial architecture and vibrant street life roll by.
My Recommendation
If you are planning a visit to Cochin (Kochi) and want to avoid the uncertainty of ride-sharing apps, I highly recommend this team. It is worth it for the peace of mind alone.
