- EAEsteban· July 21st, 2025This was a great way to explore South India culture and history. We visited so many amazing places, and the guides were excellent in explaining the significance of each one. The hotels were all decent. I loved the time we spent in Pondicherry, just walking around and soaking in the atmosphere. The houseboat experience in Alleppey was the cherry on top. If you’re looking for a well-rounded trip with a bit of everything, this is it.Show more
