    Wonderful culture of South Indian. The historical sights in Kochi and Madurai were impressive, and the peaceful backwaters in Alleppey were so amazing. Hotels were fantastic, each offering great comfort and local flair. The guides were engaging and knowledgeable, and the driver was always on time and polite. Our drives were made more enjoyable thanks to his smooth driving. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Trip was well-planned and gave us the opportunity to explore diverse aspects of South India. I especially loved the visit to the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai, which was both majestic and awe-inspiring. Hotels were comfortable and had excellent service. Our guides were well-informed, and the driver was fantastic. It’s a great option for south India.

    The pace of the tour was perfect. We had just the right amount of time in each place, and the historical sites like the Taj Mahal and the stunning temples in Pushkar was impressive. The guides made the history come to life, and the hotels were great.
