    Kerala surprised us with its calm beauty. Cochin was full of colonial stories, and the walking tour really brought the city history to life. Munnar tea gardens were peaceful, and we had a great local guide for the spice plantation at Periyar. The driver stayed with us the whole trip quiet, but helpful and always on time. Hotels were tidy and in good locations. Alleppey backwater cruise was a highlight very peaceful, great homemade food. Ending at Kumarakom felt like a private retreat. Very amazing experience.

    Our 8-day trip through Kerala was incredibly well-organized. Cochin colonial charm kicked things off perfectly with a spice market walk and Kathakali show. Munnar tea gardens were peaceful, and Periyar jungle boat ride was unforgettable. The Alleppey houseboat was clean and relaxing great food too. Hotels were tidy and comfortable with helpful staff. Our driver, Mr. Ramesh, was polite, punctual, and gave good local tips. Loved ending the trip in calm Kumarakom. A fantastic trip would definitely recommend.

  • Kerala Tour - 8 Days reviewer 7
    · March 21st, 2025
    This was my second organised tour in India and I had a lovely time. Kerala is very beautiful and all stops of the tour are well worth seeing. I had a lovely driver who was very friendly and reliable. There was only one day with a local tour guide which was nice since I generally prefer to discover places by myself. The hotels, with the exception of the hotel in Munnar, were great. There was a lot of noise and mold in the bathroom. The hotel in Kumarakom was particularly nice. I did not realise how exhausting the long drives between the places would be but we stopped whenever I needed a break. I was taken to some tourist traps on the first two days but then asked the tour organiser for no more of these places and this was then taken into account for the rest of the trip. I would have liked some clearer communication regarding my stay on the house boat as I did not know that the cook would sleep right outside my bedroom on the houseboat. Overall, this was an enjoyable trip that I would recommend.

    I booked a group tour but ended up being solo, which I wasn't made aware of until I got there. My driver had very limited english, which made communication difficult. Lots of nice stuff on the tour; tiger reserve at Periyar is lovely, as was the houseboat in Allepay but overall a different experience to what I was expecting.

    I just got back from this Kerala tour and I am so glad I went! Cochin was a fascinating starting point. The mix of Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences in the city was interesting. Munnar hills and tea plantations were stunning, and the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary was a good experience. The boat cruise in Alleppey was the one of most interesting part of my trip. The drivers were friendly, and the hotels were good.

    The trip was well organized, and every destination brought something new. The cultural experience in Cochin was amazing, with some lovely old buildings. Tea gardens were a sight to behold, and the serene atmosphere. The boat ride in Kumarakom and Alleppey was unforgettable. The accommodations were good, and the driver made everything easy. I m already thinking about my next visit to other part of India.
