What people love about Kerala Tours for Seniors
- The best of Kerala in 9 days with idyllic houseboat and relax
Correspondence prior our trip was first class and the company were very accommodating in adjusting the trip to fit our requirements. We were not expecting a private driver and this was an added bonus as it made things more flexible for us. Despite researching distances between destinations we were unprepared for the length of journeys in the car due to substantial road works and general traffic. We totally accept this is outside of the tour operators hands but we felt we spent a lot of time in the vehicle. It’s not a criticism but should be taken in consideration. Our driver, Sunil John was absolutely brilliant. Incredibly accommodating, superb fun, helpful and a great companion throughout our journey. We cannot praise him highly enough. Thank you John! With hindsight we should have finished our journey in Marari, which we independently booked, rather than travel all the way to Kovalam only to come back towards Kochi. Sights were incredible, weather perfect, beautiful countryside and beaches,smiley, friendly people, lots of great memories made. Overall, we would definitely recommend Payless and use them again. Thank you!
- Highlights of Southern India - Kerala with Houseboat Stay
KK was excellent from start to finish in planning and coordinating the entire trip of ours . I loved that they gave us the flexibility to change or slightly alter the days activities as we wanted. They provided excellent ideas for our tour stops and destinations. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone traveling to South India ..
- 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
