The Kathakali performance in the evening was mesmerizing, full of colors and energy. Alleppey backwaters on the houseboat were peaceful and a unique experience. Madurai spiritual depth with their temples. Local guides were friendly, hotels comfortable, and travel between cities smooth.

- DADavid· December 9th, 2025The tour covered all major attractions, but the schedule was a bit packed. Kochi and Alleppey were enjoyable, though the houseboat was somewhat basic. Varkala and Kanyakumari offered beautiful beaches and temples, but long drives were tiring. Madurai and Puducherry were culturally rich, though sightseeing sometimes felt rushed. Hotels were average but adequate. This tour is ideal for travelers who want to see many destinations quickly and experience South Indian culture.Show moreUncleSam Holidays commented on this reviewDear David, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your 12 Days South India Tour, Your feedback is important for us to improve our services.

The Kathakali dance performance was stunning with vibrant costumes. Alleppey backwaters on the houseboat were unforgettable, and Varkala beaches were serene. Kanyakumari’s Swami Vivekananda Rock Memorial was awe-inspiring.
