- MKMartha Herrera· December 1st, 2025Three of the hotels were awful, disgusting and located in dangerous areas (I mentioned this at the time to you) About the guides, only two were knowledgeable about interesting topics and spoke understandable English, the rest were complete incomprehensible, without knowledge. The driver didn't speak English either. You should choose your suppliers better, MTA doesn't provide the service you advertise....... I paid a lot of money for a good service, but it was all a disasterShow more

Trip date: November 2025 - AAnup· January 15th, 2025This was a very good tour. The driver was excellent, he made me feel really safe as a solo female traveler in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. I really appreciate the company upgrading my hotels, which helped in my sense of security. Most of the tour guides were also great. I was told by the guide that there is no Elephant Rescue in Thekkady or Elephant Sanctuary Tour in Periyar as advertised; only a commercial area where you can ride the elephants. I had paid extra to interact with the rescued elephants.Show moreMTA Destination Management Company commented on this reviewDear Anup, Thank you for sharing your experience of the Tamil Nadu Temple Tour.

- ambili· July 14th, 2024The tour was really good. They took us everywhere mentioned in the itinerary. Was on time. Driver Guruswamy initially was driving too fast to the point we were uncomfortable. And my stomach got upset because of that. But asked him whether he could slowdown a bit and he did. He took us to places not mentioned in the itinerary too , like musical fountain and cultural fusion dance in Kanyakumari. And Poovar island. To be honest I don’t know whether it was worth the extra money. Guides were good and knowledgeable.Show moreMTA Destination Management Company commented on this reviewDear Ambili, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your South India tour.
