Can I upgrade accommodation?

Yes you can upgrade your hotels to 4 Star, 5 Star deluxe and 5 Star luxury. 4 Star hotels for 2 Person during the trip @ GBP 944 / - Per Person. 5 Star hotels for 2 Person during the trip @ GBP 1390 / - Per Person.

Please confirm this will be a small group tour and provide examples of the hotels that will be used

Thanks for your initial enquiry, this is the reference to your enquiry, yes it will be small group tour and hotels we used during the trip will be 3 Star deluxe hotel and few hotels equivalent to 4 Star hotel.

I would like to know if my friend who is from Kerala can join this trip on the 2nd day when we go to Munnar? He is from Kochi, and for that reason, he wants to join the tour on the 2nd day.

I would like to make this tour in a group up to 10 people. Since I was in Kerala in 2019, I know the country a little. I hope the driver and the tour is also safe for solo travelers.

South India tour gave me a wonderful overview of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Every day brought something new from peaceful mornings in Munnar to the vibrant chaos of Madurai’s temple. I liked that we weren't crammed with activities. Raman our driver was kind and always made sure we were okay. Our local guides were well-spoken and patient with our questions. Hotels were cozy and the staff were friendly everywhere we went. Highly recommended trip.Show more

We had a great time exploring the southern part of India on this weeklong tour. Every stop had its own charm, from the colonial vibes of Kochi to the serene beauty of Alleppey. Munnar was a personal favorite lush greenery and fresh air everywhere. Our guide in Madurai was fantastic and explained the history and significance of the temples in a way that was easy to follow. Hotels were modest but clean and had everything we needed. The driver was punctual and super helpful, even suggesting great local food spots. I felt this trip gave us a deep cultural insight without being too rushed. Would definitely book with HOLIDAYS AT again.Show more

I booked this trip for my parents and they had such a wonderful time, they’re already planning a return visit. They especially loved the scenic beauty of Munnar and the traditional culture in Madurai. They said the guide was kind and took the time to explain things clearly, which made them feel included. The driver was like a guardian angel always on time and very respectful. The hotels were comfortable . Thank you for such a smooth and memorable trip from HOLIDAYSAT..Show more

This tour struck a good balance between sightseeing and downtime. I loved waking up to the misty views in Munnar, then diving into the vibrant temple scenes in Madurai. Our guide was passionate and gave thoughtful answers to every question. The boat ride in Alleppey was a highlight the food onboard was freshly cooked and tasted like home. The driver took care of every detail. This trip gave us great memories and a deeper appreciation of southern Indian culture.Show more

We loved this South India tour. Each destination had its own flavor, and I never felt like we were spending too much or too little time anywhere. We learned a lot from our guide there, especially about temple life. The houseboat stay in Alleppey was peaceful and romantic. Our driver Madaun made the whole trip feel smooth and easy. Hotels were basic but clean and comfortable. Great experience overall.Show more

As a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous at first, but this tour company Holidays At really made me feel safe and cared for. The driver became my go-to person throughout the trip. Munnar and Thekkady felt like retreats into nature. I appreciated the guide in Madurai who walked me through the temple and local traditions. Hotels were clean, safe, and well-managed. Alleppey was the perfect destinations for relax. Recommended trip.Show more
