What people love about Kerala Tours for Seniors
- Rejuvenating Kerala - India By Car & Driver with Good Hotels !!
The Destinations are well chosen. Its possible to see the best Sightseeings. Munnar and the backwaters of Kerale are beautiful. Be Sure to do also an optional (Not included ) kayak Tour there. But I would also advice the read the program and details in the description very careful, since it could bei more transparent, which stops in the program are included and which not. It is written there, but you have to search the information. It also depends on the driver and how flexible he is to fulfil your wishes. Luckily I had the best one you can imagine. If you're able to catch A. Ravi, you got the Jackpot. I would thank him in the first place that I had a wonderful trip. Concerning the accomodations, don't expect the best, Focus in the Tours, they are good, but... mit included, be ahead of that. But they are Not expensive at all, don't worry. The whole price for everything won't be that much Higher in whole. :) Its a good Low Budget Tour which can be perfect with the right decisions you meet. Its up to you and the driver. ;D
- Exotic Kerala Tour (Coconut Holiday Of India)
Rarely is a trip absolutely perfect, especially a trip for three couples traveling together. But from the beginning of the planning process, to the final fine tuning, to the day-to-day plans and World Travel Experiences have done a commendable job and have exceeded all of our expectations. Using this travel company was like having a close friend helping with the trip. We had wanted a trip that reduced the uncertainties of travel, but also left a lot of time for our own explorations. The itinerary included an introductory tour guide at every new location and then time to explore on our own. It included wonderful peaceful hotels, and houseboats. The food served was divine. Every aspect of the trip was a perfect fit for what we had hoped to do and how we had hoped to travel. The costs were very reasonable and fully transparent. We are already planning our next trip with WTX.
We have just comeback from our trip to Southern India with Payless Tours. Good communication before our trip as I had asked for additional days at either end of the holiday, this was agreed and booked very quickly. We had the name and telephone number of our guide before we left. Pick up went smoothly. Our driver/guide was an excellent driver and we felt very safe with him. He could have given us some more info about sites we went to see but he was very attentive and accommodating. The accommodation was as described 3 star but all clean, showers, with working air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Bottled water was provided in every room daily. The hotel in Munnar was rather isolated which meant that we had to eat there both nights, somewhere with a bit more atmosphere/ nearer other hotels/ restaurants would be preferable. The overnight on the Houseboat was great. The two evening entertainments , were both worth seeing, they only lasted an hour. Food was excellent, no issues with upset tummies. Stick to restaurant food and bottled water and you will be fine. A lovely way to see South India. Very safe and well organised. I would recommend this company and this holiday.
