What people love about touring Kerala solo
- Rejuvenating Kerala - India By Car and Driver
Thank you for the wonderful Kerala tour and I would just like to say it was one of the best vacations we have had. You planned our holiday perfectly and took care of everything including all the special requests we asked for. Our driver was a very friendly and knowledgeable guy who really went out of his way to help us enjoy our trip even more. He took us sightseeing to amazing locations that were not on our itinerary but which he knew we would enjoy. The management at all the hotels made sure everything was perfect during our stay and they helped us with directions when visiting local attractions. My favourite meal was the lunch we had at that very small hotel near Marari Beach !
- Best of Southern India with Houseboat Stay
Genuinely the best trip ever!! The hotels were excellent. We got to experience very beautiful cities. Looking forward to the next adventure with Swastik India.
