What people love about touring Kerala solo
- Kerala Tour - 8 Days
It was a wonderful trip - Kerala was wonderful destination, but thoroughly enjoyable.
- Exotic Kerala Tour (Coconut Holiday Of India)
We have done the Kerala tour with World Travel Experiences in August 2018. It was an excellent experience with a well planned itinerary and excellent tour manager Mr Rituraj. The entire tour was conducted smoothly and efficiently with lots of attention to details. The hotels where we were located were all excellent, very neat and tidy. The meals at restaurants were average and could have had more variety. Indian food includes a lot of different varieties and all could have been tried at different times. Sightseeing went excellent and as per our expectations. Overall an excellent trip and my next tour is definitely with World Travel Experiences.
- The best of Kerala in 9 days with idyllic houseboat and relax
That was our second time in India, we visited the south of the country focusing on Kerala. Thanks to this tour operator and their brilliant driver we saw beautiful places and experienced memorable moments. Houseboat in Allepay was beyond our expectations , the cruise was extremely relaxing and gave us an opportunity to observe birds and local villages. We even had an ayurvedic massage when the boat made a break. The nature of Kerala is fantastic and beautiful. We highly recommend this experience and this travel agent.
