Yassine· March 14th, 2025The best of this Tour was the route itself! From the breathtaking temples of Tamil Nadu, the tea plantations of Munnar, to the backwaters of Kerala, it had it all. I didn't ask for more! Furthermore what made my trip unforgettable was my Driver Nishad. An excellent, extremely friendly, reliable, and wonderful travel companion. He played a significant role in making my trip an unforgettable one!!! As for the booked guides, all of them were good and competent, except in Kanchipuran, there was no guide at all and as planned. A scheduled visit to the Sri Ekambaranathar Temple did not take place as it closed at 12:00. It was not practical to wait until 16:00. Anyway, the temple is under huge renovation/restoration. The tour operator should have informed! As for the accomodation: Some of the hotels were excellent, others good and some very disappointing: -Chennai: The Raaj Bhaavan Clarks Inn was located in Velacherry on a main road, far from downtown Chennai, about a 35-minute drive. My room was dusty and worn out. The bed linens weren't very fresh. The shower curtain was moldy, and the bathroom door was rotting! -Mahabalipuram: Hotel Mamalla Heritage: Very good! -Pondicherry: The Annamalai was very nice, but very far from the interesting and lively "Colonial Quarter." The Colonial Quarter had beautiful and affordable B&Bs, perfect for solo travelers or couples! -Thajavur: Hyders Park Hotel: Good. -Madurai Residency: Very loud and hot, got no sleep! -Munnar: Hotel Las Palmas: The hotel was not in “bustling” Munnar but about 10 Km far away on a country road. The worst hotel of the entire trip, far away from everything. The bed was so hard and bad, I could feel the wires and springs between my ribs, I hardly slept the two nights in this hotel!!! -Periyar (Kumili): Silver Crest: very good! -Kumarakum: Renai Green Field hotel: Excellent Hotel!!! -Cochin: Sealord Hotel: The other very bad hotel of the trip. The hotel is in Ernakulam and not in Fort Kochi, which is the interesting historical site. By car, it takes up to half an hour; by ferry, it's only 15 minutes, but the water metro runs every 40 minutes only. The hotel is located on a main road, and my pre-booked room was on the 7th floor, the cheapest and hottest floor. Even the AC coudn´t cool down the room. The mattress was also very bad. As in Pondicherry, there are fantastic and cheaper small hotels and B&Bs in Fort Kochi!!! Conclusion: I really do recommend this trip to anyone interested in history, ancient Hindu culture, and Kerala's nature. I booked this tour during Black Friday and received in total about 50% discount. The discounted price was quite fair. I would not recommend it a the published list price, which in my opinion is excessively too high, taking into account the price level in India! Ask for a price quotation before you book, in India the price is always negociable ;-)Show more

View in EnglishLadies and Gentlemen, We had a very nice "South India's Temples with Kerala" tour. We liked the variety. The first half of the trip was dedicated to the temples of South India, the second half more to nature. We were more than surprised by the very "chaotic" traffic conditions. However, we felt very safe with our driver. He got us safely through this chaos and looked after our "safety" like a bodyguard. It was also advantageous that our tour group consisted of only four people. Thanks to the organizers, we were able to experience this trip together with friends.Show moreWorld Travel Experiences commented on this reviewDear Guest,, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!
