We really enjoyed this South India tour. Each destination had its own charm Bangalore gardens, Mysore grandeur, and Munnar hills were unforgettable. The guide was always on point, especially in heritage spots like the Mysore Palace. Our driver was extremely professional and helpful throughout. Hotels were consistently clean and comfortable. The wildlife safaris were a highlight Bandipur especially was exciting. Houseboat stay in Alleppey was tranquil and beautifully arranged. Kumarakom bird sanctuary was a peaceful end. Everything was well-paced and never felt rushed. A good choice destination. Great fun.Show more

This tour gave me a amazing taste of South Indian culture and historical stops, especially Mysore and Cochin, were captivating, and the guides made the stories come alive. The wildlife experiences in Periyar and Bandipur were unforgettable. All the hotels were clean and had good service. But i suggest to upgrade your hotels for better comfortable stay due to American standard are different. The driver was patient and always had a smile on his face. Alleppey backwaters and the stay on the houseboat were pure bliss. Kumarakom was the perfect wind-down with serene views. Overall, a well-crafted trip with lots of variety culture and history.Show more

We had a wonderful trip, we felt we were in good hands. Our driver Nishad was with us for the entire trip and ensured we had an answer for any question we should have and were always looked after. There was one issue with one of the hotels we were booked at and the issue was resolved quickly and with no inconvenience to ourselves other then waiting in the lobby for a short period. Again Nishad was there to ensure we were looked after. The hotels were of a very good standard and all the inclusions were as advertised. Very happy would book with them again, no problem.Show more
