What people love about Tamil Nadu Tours for Seniors
- Tamilnadu Temple Tour (A Budget Friendly Tour)
It’s a very unique tour that covers ancient cities and true India! The temples here are ancient and the Culture is truly a n experience. I would highly recommend this tour for someone looking for an authentic Indian experience.
We highly recommend our two week long trip from Chennai to Kochi. The agent Anu from tourradar and the agents Vaseem and Rita from GeTSHoliday accompanied us perfect from the first till the last second. They fulfilled all our wishes so that my husband and I could start the trip one day earlier than normal. Also we were able to change a little bit the itinerary so that it fitted perfectly to us. Nearly daily the agents wanted to know if everything was fine. As I told them in the beginning that we were not interested to follow the guides after the sightseeing tour of a town into a very expensive souvenir gallery, they reacted at once and for the rest of the trip we were not bothered with it anymore. At the end our fantastic driver Murali drove us from our final destination Kochi to the very South of India to our Ayurveda Resort. Murali spoke very good English and he was patient enough to answer all the thousands of questions we got. He even showed us very nice places which were not on our schedule. The whole trip was so exiting because the attractions from Tamil Nadu and Kerala were so different and amazing. We loved it to get the opportunity to be so in touch with the locals which were very friendly and opened. Most of the hotels were good or even better and just two were ok. But we shared our experiences with our agents and they promised to take our advises seriously. The breakfast at the hotels and the meals at the houseboat were good and our stomachs stayed healthy. India got a special place in our heart and we are sure that we will have other trips with tourradar in future.

- Cultural Wonders of Tamil Nadu & the Beaches of Andaman Islands
A Journey to Remember – Tamil Nadu & Andaman Bliss Our recent trip to Tamil Nadu and the Andaman Islands was an unforgettable experience filled with beauty, culture, and peace. From the vibrant temples and traditions of Tamil Nadu to the breathtaking beaches and calm waters of the Andamans, every moment was perfectly planned and absolutely enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing guide Raj, who was incredibly helpful, calm, and kind throughout the journey – his presence truly made a difference. And a big thanks to MTA (My Tour Adviser) for arranging everything so smoothly; the entire trip was stress-free and full of joyful memories. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it and will treasure this journey for a lifetime!
