    The operator made contact before we left the UK which was reassuring and the communication was maintained throughout our stay to ensure that we was always aware of the schedule and excursions. From the moment we arrived in Kochin we were met with a warm welcome from our driver who remained with us for the 10 day duration of our tour. He was attentive to our every need and nothing was too much. Our tour operator contacted us everyday either by phone or WhatsApp to ensure that our day had gone to plan and enjoyable. He even organised an extension to our trip on our return to Mumbai. The accommodation was varied from good to excellent and the service and hospitality everywhere was incredible. The program arranged was plentiful and varied and truly wonderful and in some instances very educational with excellent guides. The package we had was half board and the food was plentiful and in the main of excellent quality. It was a wonderful holiday experience and witnessing the contrast between town and city hussle and bustle to the perfect tranquility of our accommodation was rather magical. A big thank you to all those involved in making our stay in Karala so memorable.

    An amazing experience. From the culture and history to the vibrant busy streets to calm and spiritual. This trip gave us a taste of the North of India. It was very well planned and organised. We felt safe and very well looked after. Everyone was considerate, helpful and friendly. We would love to go back to different areas of India, we will also look at tour radar and wanderful holidays for other travel experiences. Thank you so much.

    My focus of this tour is to understand the Hindu philosophy and religion through the visiting some essential heritages such as Varanasi, Khajuraho, Jaipur and so on. I believe that without strong support of Mr Sshuhul Kaul, a local Indian trip manager who has tried his very best for organising of my trip travelling, a long distance from New Delhi, I would not reach my goal. Thank you so much Mr Kaul, I recommend to Indian travellers that they should book the Wanderful-Holiday Trips to India, having a manager like Mr Kaul, you will enjoy the rich cultures in India and would have so much fun with activities with kind assistance.
