We enjoyed an amazing tour, Mumbai was fabulous and so much to see. Domestic flights were good and on time! Our drivers/guide were all good and very helpful. The luxury houseboat was abit disappointing, the boat&food were good but the staff were lacking in people skills and seemed like they were doing us a favour & just only doing enough to pacify us☹️so as a consequence we didn't tip them. Our hotels in southern India were all very good except the one in Cochin which was very dirty with broken bathroom sink etc in our room.Show more

Splendid driver Mr. Sammu who we spent a beautiful time in the southern part of Incredible India driving on winding roads of Munnar and all Kerala. We took lots of wonderful photos and got lots of opportunities to get to know local life of people and get an insight in their lifestyle and culture. Mrs. Eve who we had a contact with was very responsive and friendly, always online to respond to our questions and requests. We're extremely satisfied and will recommend the services of this tour operator.Show more
