- CWCavin· September 12th, 2025We just finished this incredible 14-day South India trip and it exceeded expectations. The hotels were consistently good, especially in Thekkady and Mahabalipuram. We appreciated the knowledgeable guides, especially the one in Madurai who explained the Meenakshi Temple in detail. Highly recommended for Southern India.Show more

- ABAnne· August 21st, 2025We loved South India tour. Kochi was a gentle start, and our guide explained its multicultural history well. Munnar and Thekkady were full of greenery. The backwater cruise in Alappuzha was a real highlight quiet, slow, and scenic. The beach at Kovalam added a nice break from temple visits. Madurai and Mahabalipuram monuments were impressive, and the guides explained everything in an easy, relatable way. The driver was always on time and respectful. Engaging way to explore South India.Show moreHolidays At commented on this reviewDear Anne, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Tour of South India Tour.

- JMJames· August 21st, 2025This South India tour was unforgettable. Each place had its own character from Kochi colonial streets to Chennai’s vibrant city life. The journey through tea-covered hills in Munnar was refreshing, and the hotel there offered beautiful valley views. In Thekkady, we saw spice plantations and enjoyed a well-explained tour. The driver was polite, and his calm manner made the long drives stress-free. The guides were informative without overloading us especially in Kanchipuram where we learned about silk weaving. Alappuzha backwaters gave us a perfect pause in the trip. It was well-paced, and we felt truly taken care of.Show moreHolidays At commented on this reviewDear James, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your Tour of South India Tour.

Our driver was punctual and well-informed, often suggesting great local eateries. The guides shared stories that made even quiet temples feel alive. The hotels were comfortable, especially in Mahabalipuram with a view of the sea. Cruising through Alappuzha backwaters was blissful. Kanyakumari sunrise was a trip highlight.
