What people love about touring Kerala solo
- Kerala Tour - 8 Days
A beautiful, well-organized tour. Kerala’s charm is unmatched especially Munnar and Periyar. The accommodations were excellent, and the transport was smooth. Our tour manager ensured everything was taken care of and made the entire experience unforgettable.
- Exotic Kerala Tour (Coconut Holiday Of India)
Just a big thank you World Travel Experiences for such a wonderful trip to Kerala! The places we visited were amazing. Everything was arranged so flawlessly and was on schedule. Special thanks to our tour manager who made sure that the tour was according to our expectations. The accommodations selected by the company were excellent…Thank you again World Travel Experiences for your great customer service and being so prompt answer our queries. Much appreciated and recommended to travel with them. Cheers Team!
That was a very exciting and fascinating Private Tour with a great driver arranged by a splendid Travel agency. We had comfortable hotels and on the top of that a terrific eco houseboat with all the facilities and meals that made our cruise on backwaters a really wonderful experience. Love all the birds and local villages you can spot and observe during this wonderful private cruise. Munnar is a different planet with all those tea plantations and green areas everywhere. Kochi has its own ambience and it's really worth taking a stroll in search of interesting murals. Kathakali show is a bit long but all in all worth watching since the performance has its own quality. Sunil - our perfect driver did his best and was really careful while driving on the winding roads of Kerala. Everything we asked for was provided and organised properly are extremally happy.
The best of Kerala in 9 days with idyllic houseboat and relax
