    Our Kerala trip was well organized and beautiful. Historical and modern was a great introduction. We enjoyed a peaceful time in South India, where we had the chance to spot elephants and other wildlife. The hotels were good. I’d definitely recommend this itinerary to anyone wanting to experience the Kerala.

    The historical sights were fascinating, and we learned so much thanks to our amazing trip. The landscape changed dramatically as we traveled from the busy streets of Cochin to the serene tea plantations of Munnar. The highlight for me was definitely the boat ride in Alleppey, which was so peaceful. The accommodations were all great and lovely views. A great way to experience Kerala.

    Our trip to Kerala was an unforgettable experience. From our arrival in Cochin, we were immersed in the rich history and culture of the region. The local guide was knowledgeable and friendly, showing us all the highlights of Cochin on Day 2. We moved on to Munnar, where the misty tea gardens and cool climate were the perfect escape. The hotels throughout were comfortable, and the drivers were professional, ensuring we traveled smoothly from place to place. The boat ride in Kumarakom was serene highly recommend! Overall, a fantastic trip.

    I had a wonderful time on this Kerala tour. South India history and culture was amazing, with the visit to the Jewish Synagogue and St. Francis Church being standouts. Munnar lush landscapes were perfect, and the wildlife sanctuary in Periyar was a real treat. The houseboat in Alleppey was a peaceful experience, and the driver was very friendly. The hotels were comfortable, providing a great rest after busy days.
