What people love about touring Kerala solo
- The best of Kerala in 9 days with idyllic houseboat and relax
We loved the tour with our friendly and professional driver Mr.Sunil. We saw all the most beautiful places in the south and everything was very well arranged by the travel agent. We had a great contact with Mr. Neera who was alway available whenever we needed to discuss something. In conclusion, we can say it was a very amazing experience.
- Highlights of Southern India - Kerala with Houseboat Stay
We were looking for a holiday of a lifetime to 'celebrate' our anniversary. We asked for quote for many companies but the one that caught our eye was K K Holidays. Everyone that we dealt with at K K Holidays could not have been more helpful and kind. We booked this South India Tour with them.We were slightly worried because we were going a long way away and had never done a holiday like this before. We were met at the airport as arranged and were looked after from that moment on. We had a wonderful tour of the ‘South India' for a week. We had our own driver, Babu and we picked up a guide at each town. Every hoteI provided to us were upto the mark . Food was good . Overall a great trip. Can't wait to go back one day . Thanks
- Luxury Kerala Backwaters and Wildlife
Very pleasant, comfirtable trip that combines nature, culture and leisure and shows many facettes of Kerala. Food provided was also satisfying.
