What people love about Kerala Tours for Seniors
- Rejuvenating Kerala - India By Car & Driver with Good Hotels !!
The Destinations are well chosen. Its possible to see the best Sightseeings. Munnar and the backwaters of Kerale are beautiful. Be Sure to do also an optional (Not included ) kayak Tour there. But I would also advice the read the program and details in the description very careful, since it could bei more transparent, which stops in the program are included and which not. It is written there, but you have to search the information. It also depends on the driver and how flexible he is to fulfil your wishes. Luckily I had the best one you can imagine. If you're able to catch A. Ravi, you got the Jackpot. I would thank him in the first place that I had a wonderful trip. Concerning the accomodations, don't expect the best, Focus in the Tours, they are good, but... mit included, be ahead of that. But they are Not expensive at all, don't worry. The whole price for everything won't be that much Higher in whole. :) Its a good Low Budget Tour which can be perfect with the right decisions you meet. Its up to you and the driver. ;D
- Exotic Kerala Tour (Coconut Holiday Of India)
We have done the Kerala tour with World Travel Experiences in August 2018. It was an excellent experience with a well planned itinerary and excellent tour manager Mr Rituraj. The entire tour was conducted smoothly and efficiently with lots of attention to details. The hotels where we were located were all excellent, very neat and tidy. The meals at restaurants were average and could have had more variety. Indian food includes a lot of different varieties and all could have been tried at different times. Sightseeing went excellent and as per our expectations. Overall an excellent trip and my next tour is definitely with World Travel Experiences.
- The best of Kerala in 9 days with idyllic houseboat and relax
That was our second time in India, we visited the south of the country focusing on Kerala. Thanks to this tour operator and their brilliant driver we saw beautiful places and experienced memorable moments. Houseboat in Allepay was beyond our expectations , the cruise was extremely relaxing and gave us an opportunity to observe birds and local villages. We even had an ayurvedic massage when the boat made a break. The nature of Kerala is fantastic and beautiful. We highly recommend this experience and this travel agent.
