What people love about touring Kerala solo
- 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
