Kerala is a really beautiful area to visit and this tour gives you the highlight without having to worry about how to get around or where to stay. Our driver was excellent, really gentle and caring with a calm approach to traffic. He had great knowledge of the area and was repared to answer any random questions we threw at him. The tour company were on call if you needed them and Manish was available to deal with any issues. He was keen to know the tour was going well and we were having a good time. The local guides were really knowledgable and relaxed. The jeep ride was much more fun than we thought it would be and the day on the houseboat was really chilled and provided an oportunity to relax. Be prepared for a lot of time in the car, but the scenery makes it worth it!Show more
