  • South India : Backwaters, Tea Plantations, Temples & Beach Stay W/Private Guide & Chauffer reviewer 1
    · February 17th, 2025
    The operator made contact before we left the UK which was reassuring and the communication was maintained throughout our stay to ensure that we was always aware of the schedule and excursions. From the moment we arrived in Kochin we were met with a warm welcome from our driver who remained with us for the 10 day duration of our tour. He was attentive to our every need and nothing was too much. Our tour operator contacted us everyday either by phone or WhatsApp to ensure that our day had gone to plan and enjoyable. He even organised an extension to our trip on our return to Mumbai. The accommodation was varied from good to excellent and the service and hospitality everywhere was incredible. The program arranged was plentiful and varied and truly wonderful and in some instances very educational with excellent guides. The package we had was half board and the food was plentiful and in the main of excellent quality. It was a wonderful holiday experience and witnessing the contrast between town and city hussle and bustle to the perfect tranquility of our accommodation was rather magical. A big thank you to all those involved in making our stay in Karala so memorable.
