  There is no real guidance on this tour, We felt safe with our driver however I feel had we of come into any trouble we would have been completely alone. Certainly could have done the tour ourselves & saved money.

  Absolute rip. There was only myself & my friend on this 'tour'. We simply jumped in the back of a car with a driver who could barely speak English and got dropped different places for 7 days. While his driving was excellent, he really struggled to communicate with us and this meant we had nothing explained to us. So we learnt nothing. It certainly wasn't a 'guided tour'. This was very disappointing. While Kerala was beautiful to look at, I have no idea what I was looking at. One day we didn't get fed until dinner because the plans for the day didn't include a stop for lunch. But we didn't know that. We could've bought snacks at least, but our driver couldn't communicate this with us. Also, I want to know where all my money went!!! Those hotels couldn't have been more than $50 a night. And every single activity that was part of our itinerary, we still had to pay for when we got there?? And I know for a fact that those drivers don't get paid well. I was so angry and I feel robbed. 'Elephant safari' was riding an elephant, and we don't support that. There was also a 'spot a tiger on safari' advertised as part of the itinerary ... it was literally a boat full of 100 people puttering through a river super slowly, spotting deer & pigs & other unexciting animals that we had seen on the streets of Delhi hahaha. It was almost embarrassing. That was the day that we hadn't been fed, so we would've rathered go eat but we couldn't have that conversation with our driver. The trip to the zoo was very sad. They don't look after the animals well. Pretty sure they get beaten. There were many times when there was no water in their cages. The tigers looked distressed. I understand that the zoo would not be the same standard of Australia, however if I was able to communicate properly with the driver, he could've told us the poor standard & I could've made an informed decision not to support it. We absolutely loved the houseboat stay, however. If we didn't have that houseboat I would've considered flying home early. The food on the boat was very impressive. No one was looking after us or checking in with us how we were going. I was texted an 'incase of emergency' number. I am pretty sure there is someone who I never met who organized my 'tour', and he is sitting comfortably in his office & enjoying all my money right now.

  KK Holidays organized a tour from Kochin/Kerala/Kochin and as usual they were brilliant. They also arranged for a driver to take us from Chennai to Pondicherry. We have used them before as we know they book the best hotels, use the best and reliable drivers and nothing is too much trouble for them. Again, we were absolutely delighted with them and always recommend them to our friends.

  It was a great trip but the the special mention goes to Our Tour Guide - a man with unlimited knowledge about all the places in India, poured us with fascinating details about the uniqueness of every places that we have visited. Last but not least, our Tour Company Executive who always there before us to ensure our hotel check in goes smoothly, to check on us from time to time on our travel & to hear our feedback everyday. From the choice of hotels, our comfortable transport, the entire team that took care of all our needs, the well-planned planning & above all, the very reasonable price that was quoted - K K Holidays has made me & my family's first trip to India a memorable vacation.

  We took a tour of the Kerala Backwaters and it was a memorable experience. The natural beauty of the places we visited - Munnar, Thikkady, Alleppey (houseboat) and Kovallam - were unbelievable. The accommodations iwere super! Whole credit for organizing this trip for us goes to the team of K K Holidays. They really did a superb job and we literally had no issues at all! Our driver-guide Shyam needs a special mention. He was simply outstanding and went out of his way to make our trip memorable and worry free!

  Accommodation for this is meant to be using twin sharing room. I had booked 3 people on the tour and the tour operator had decided we could do with a twin room for the 3 of us, meaning a roll-away bed or in the case of the houseboat, a thin mattress on the boat floorboars. There was never enough space for 3 people in the bedrooms to be in comfort. This really was not acceptable and efforts contacting the tour operator did not resolve the issue. We paid for better privacy, bedding and more space than this, very disappointing. If the operator and Tourradar would have said this upfront, then the expectation would have been set and I would not have gone ahead with the booking. I will be seeking compensation for the inconvenience.

  I absolutely amazed about the services of K K Holidays! I went to India for the first time and for been a women traveling by myself I was concerned. But KK certainly made the trip very safe for me and I didn’t have any problems on my way. I’m very demanding on the things I choose and for sure the company was the best choice. I had such a nice experience.
