What people love about Southern India Tours
- Kerala Tour - 8 Days
I have enjoyed the roadtrip very much. The guy, who showed us the Kochi the 1st day was very nice and his information was very good. The driver was very polite and gave us a lot of tips and nice ideas of the places we can go to see something ordinary or where to go for diner. But to give you 5 stars it has been great if the tea factory has been opened when we our driver near Munar wanted to show it to us (he was astonished that it was closed) and that we got e.g. a hotel list as one of our group has recieved pro activly, when you know, which one will booked for us In total I would like to give you 4,5 stars, which is impossibel, but is right for me, because the landscape, the hotels everything was fine and I really enjoyed it, except the 2 points mentioned above.
- Kerala Tour - 8 Days

"I haven't yet been on this tour which I signed up for four weeks ago. Payment is due tomorrow or the holiday will be cancelled but despite multiple contacts with them by chat or email they have been unable to confirm extra pre departure dates in Chennai. I put this down to local chaos or apparent incompetence. It looks as though I could book this hotel for the dates I want in 2 minutes online but I want the joined up experience with Intrepid. I travelled with them twice last year, including to India, and they were brilliant.

"What I was looking for: - do more cultural activities than when travelling solo (I usually do none) - stay with a chill group of people for a week - see Kerala that I heard so much about My experience: - this tour has limited activities. It’s in the itinerary. I booked the only one that matches my dates without checking too much… - the group was pretty cool. The restaurants / bars we were recommended were bad though. - I got to see Kerala. The walk through the rice fields was amazing Overall, I’d say go for it if you’re not comfortable travelling on your own. The 2 days in the backwaters were worth going on a tour. The beach is better done solo travelling / resort / hostel.
