    We had a wonderful driver in Mr. Anoop, who was very well informed about everything. The occasional local tour guide was adequate. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, especially the tea growing area around Munnar. However, I would not recommend anyone to come during Xmas/ New Year as there are far too many tourists and therefore traffic jams.

    Kerala was beautiful but we had a very mixed time with the support and guide etc. The guide ( Depak) was absent throughout the whole trip and messaged wrong information , muddled timings, uncertain guidance and didn't instill us with any confidence . The text message trail with Depak dissapeared every 24hours so unless i took screen shots the guidance and detail was gone anyway. Hotels were changed without us knowing unil arriving there. Our mini bus driver (Amodh )was a lovely man and did his very , very best (Use him again - but not his bus ) to help us but couldn' t hardly speak English and his mini bus was falling apart . Three seats i sat on fell apart and i landed each time on the floor . We genuinely thought the bus wold break down ... we were lucky but after our tour it did breakdown and i believe was scrapped. When we asked if the seats could be secured Depak sais thats how it is in India and no. I wouldnt recommend this tour to anyone it was the complete opposite experience to that of our first tour in Delhi and Golden Triangle etc. Reetica our guide there coud be running the whole show she was so good, I really do not feel we had value for money and so saddened by this - think compensation is due really as without our driver and his determination to try and make things work for us we were leading our own tour . George was a nice guide in Cohin but even he turned up on the wrong day to begin with ,I hope this gets read and someone looks into the issues as id hate for anyone else to experience quite what we did.

    My driver, Bibin was great. He drove extremely well, spoke good English, was very clean, well presented and punctual. He kept the car well presented, clean and tidy. He definitely looked after me as a solo traveller. The tour itinerary was good and I felt like I saw all I wanted to see in Kerala. I especially enjoyed the canals but was disappointed I didn't go to the Alleppey canals as per my itinerary. I believe some of the hotels could be upgraded as they weren't to the standard of other asian 3 star hotels. Still all were clean and tidy if a little faded. The English guide in Cochin was very good and had excellent knowledge and a good sense of humour.

    The trip was well organized, the driver excellent. I was lucky enough to be the only guest on this round trip. As a result, I often got into conversation with locals and Indian tourists. I was able to immerse myself in the country in a wonderful way :)

    Truly Amazing experience with WTX for my Kerala trip, they managed my trip with utmost professionalism. They respected all my requests and accommodated to their best. Uma Shankar was great in planning our itinerary. WTX team was clear with their responses and great with coordination. I would recommend WTX to my friends and family. Wishing their business all the very best.

    Our overall experience was very positive, with our driver NOUFEL being very helpful indeed. With one exception our hotels were of a very good standard, the exception being the Hotel Las Palmas near Munnar. This hotel is situated 6.5kms from Munnar town, and in our opinion is too far out of the way of the main tour route. The manager Mr Sijo and his staff were very friendly and helpful, he went out of his way to procure some flowers and a cake for the occasion of our 40th wedding anniversary. But they are hampered by a premises crying out for investment in improvements to the exterior and upgrades to room facilities. The other SEALORD group hotel we stayed in, the Silver Crest at Periyar was also in need of improvement. The itinerary seriously underestimates the time taken to drive from one place to another, in our experience it took around 50% longer than stated . We arranged before the tour started to spend some time in Fort Kochi, and at the end of the tour we booked an extra two nights at the Hotel Abad Plaza in Cochin, and a very glad we did, as to get off the flight fro Cyprus and commence a tour immediately would have been too tiring. Overall we felt that the tour represented good value for money, and would use Tour Radar in the future when considering our holiday planning. Thank you Mr & Mrs Meacher Esentepe Cyprus

    Kerala is beautiful, very scenic and the people are generally very friendly. Other than in Cochin we really didn’t have a guide, just a driver. Our driver changed during the tour, in all we had three drivers. None of the drivers were very informative about what we were doing or gave us information about the sights. The itinerary varied considerably from the one we were given prior to the trip, although most of the major sites were visited, but not necessarily on the day specified. The highlight of the trip was the house boat on the backwaters. This was fabulous as was the food provided. Most of the other hotels were dated and could not be recommended.

    Asked on November 5th, 2024

    I am interested for this tour but your single traveller rate is very high as compared with someone sharing a room with another traveller. Please check your pricing and let me know if posted rate is correct.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • World Travel ExperiencesOperatorWritten November 2024

      We understand that single traveler rates can sometimes seem higher due to room occupancy policies, and other services. because the total cost is shared by single pax only. But i will review the pricing for your selected departure date on January 3, 2025, and see if we can offer any adjustments or recommendations. For this date we do not have any group so you will have to do the tour solo. We have group on Dec 18 2024 Feb 10 2025 In these dates you can travel at the cost of CAD 1450 in group.
