- BSBenjamin· August 30th, 2025We had a great time exploring the southern part of India on this weeklong tour. Every stop had its own charm, from the colonial vibes of Kochi to the serene beauty of Alleppey. Munnar was a personal favorite lush greenery and fresh air everywhere. Our guide in Madurai was fantastic and explained the history and significance of the temples in a way that was easy to follow. Hotels were modest but clean and had everything we needed. The driver was punctual and super helpful, even suggesting great local food spots. I felt this trip gave us a deep cultural insight without being too rushed. Would definitely book with HOLIDAYS AT again.Show moreHolidays At commented on this reviewDear Benjamin, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Amazing South India Tour.
