Overall, I would highly recommend the tour. We had an unforgettable time. The things that stood out as exceptional were: *Boatyard Hotel in Kochi *the tour guide in Ft Kochi *All the airport transfers and hotel check-ins were very smooth really enjoyed the restaurant that the driver suggested on the way to Munnar the food and crew on the Alleppy boat Tour by owner of spice plantation Leela Hotel in Kovalam Beach w/ free time was a great way to end trip The only thing we wish would have done differently is we should’ve spent less time at the falls on the way to Munnar. We were pressed for time once we got to the tea plantation. Our guide said he was expecting us earlier. He said we could have taken a walk through the tea fields. We would have preferred that over visiting the dam. It worked okay for us. But I think knowing ahead of time that alcohol was not available at the Leaf and Greenwood resorts and on the boat would be helpful. The driver was able to help us find stores that sold beer, etc. Thanks for the wonderful memories!Show more

I booked a south india temples tour with them. Our trip started with a seamless airport pickup, which immediately set the tone. The car was clean and comfortable, and the driver was polite, punctual, and knowledgeable throughout the journey. The itinerary was well planned, allowing us to comfortably cover all the major highlights — Rameshwaram, Dhanushkodi, and Madurai Meenakshi Temple — without feeling rushed. A special mention to the stay at JC Residency, Madurai. The hotel was excellent, with great hospitality, clean rooms, and very good food, making our stay truly comfortable after long travel days. Overall, a hassle-free and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a smooth and well-organized temple tour in Tamil Nadu.Show more
