What people love about Kerala Tours for Seniors
- Highlights of Southern India - Kerala with Houseboat Stay
We were looking for a holiday of a lifetime to 'celebrate' our anniversary. We asked for quote for many companies but the one that caught our eye was K K Holidays. Everyone that we dealt with at K K Holidays could not have been more helpful and kind. We booked this South India Tour with them.We were slightly worried because we were going a long way away and had never done a holiday like this before. We were met at the airport as arranged and were looked after from that moment on. We had a wonderful tour of the ‘South India' for a week. We had our own driver, Babu and we picked up a guide at each town. Every hoteI provided to us were upto the mark . Food was good . Overall a great trip. Can't wait to go back one day . Thanks
What a beautiful place Kerala of India is ! We had a most wonderful time in the God's Own Country. Thank you tour operator for the lovely gift of blue-pottery vase during the gala farewell dinner - never had one such in our tours in the past. Jose
10-Day Mesmerizing Kerala & Goa Experiences: Backwaters & Beaches
- Exotic Kerala Tour (Coconut Holiday Of India)
Rarely is a trip absolutely perfect, especially a trip for three couples traveling together. But from the beginning of the planning process, to the final fine tuning, to the day-to-day plans and World Travel Experiences have done a commendable job and have exceeded all of our expectations. Using this travel company was like having a close friend helping with the trip. We had wanted a trip that reduced the uncertainties of travel, but also left a lot of time for our own explorations. The itinerary included an introductory tour guide at every new location and then time to explore on our own. It included wonderful peaceful hotels, and houseboats. The food served was divine. Every aspect of the trip was a perfect fit for what we had hoped to do and how we had hoped to travel. The costs were very reasonable and fully transparent. We are already planning our next trip with WTX.
