- Romantic Kerala Tour
Our driver, Nishad, made this tour for us by picking up on what we were interested in and making small tweaks to accommodate, such as finding places for us to stop and try different local snacks. Nishad was also instrumental in helping my partner get her phone back, which had slipped out of her pocket on a bus. Overall beautiful tour and would recommend it.
