    Overall enjoyed the your. Excellent driver throughout who really looked after us. Some car journeys were very long. Most hotels were good. One poor hotel . Hotel in Puducherry 15km from town, so unable to explore on our own. I would advise 2 nights in Cochin as a lot to see & do

    This was the worst tour I have ever taken. Firstly, the hotels were lucky to be a 1 or 2 star., I had to ask for towels and toilet paper in most of them. The tour guides struggled to speak English so they were pointless.. I was hoping to join a tour group, but only to find I was driven around souther india with a driver my myself for the full time.. To say I feel ripped off it an understatement!!

    Hello, The destinations were wonderful. It was good that there were tour guides in the cities. Our driver and the vehicle were particularly excellent. The hotels were good, as were the rooms. The only thing we didn't always like was the location, often outside the city or on main roads. So it was no longer possible to get to the sea or the old town in the evening or the journey times were very long. We were happy to have booked the trip.
