- Andy· December 28th, 2024Correspondence prior our trip was first class and the company were very accommodating in adjusting the trip to fit our requirements. We were not expecting a private driver and this was an added bonus as it made things more flexible for us. Despite researching distances between destinations we were unprepared for the length of journeys in the car due to substantial road works and general traffic. We totally accept this is outside of the tour operators hands but we felt we spent a lot of time in the vehicle. It’s not a criticism but should be taken in consideration. Our driver, Sunil John was absolutely brilliant. Incredibly accommodating, superb fun, helpful and a great companion throughout our journey. We cannot praise him highly enough. Thank you John! With hindsight we should have finished our journey in Marari, which we independently booked, rather than travel all the way to Kovalam only to come back towards Kochi. Sights were incredible, weather perfect, beautiful countryside and beaches,smiley, friendly people, lots of great memories made. Overall, we would definitely recommend Payless and use them again.

- Mario· March 9th, 2024Excellent tour with enough days at each location to really enjoy the area and not feel rushed. My driver, Manu, was very helpful and flexible to accommodate my wishes. Only me on this tour, which has advantages and disadvantages. Easier to tailor the trip to my preferences. The stay on the Houseboat was the highlight for me: very relaxing and felt like royalty beingShow morePayless tours india commented on this reviewThank you for your wonderful review!

- Fiona· February 3rd, 2024We loved the tour with our friendly and professional driver Mr.Sunil. We saw all the most beautiful places in the south and everything was very well arranged by the travel agent.

- ALAnn· January 23rd, 2024As the only person booked on the tour (wasted single supp) it effectively became a private tour. It was a good way to see a lot of Kerala in a relatively short without the hassle of organising everything yourself. However I normally travel on my own, making my own bookings so in some ways it was less enjoyable having no choice. But everything is a trade off. My 3'drivers, Nelson John and Muni were very pleasant and helpful though there were some language difficulties. In the way the hotels were comfortable and the houseboat was great. The best bits were being up in the hills, the houseboat and Kovalam.. The worst bits were the long days in the back of a car, the trips on the visit to the tip of India, too crowded and borimg and the hotel near Munnar. It was effectively closed, I was the only guest, the dinner choice was v limited (and in the country so no other options) and there's was no hot water. The staff were lovely but being the sole guest is slightly creepy. However, overall I enjoyed it and Kerala is a wonderful place to visit.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewYour kind words about our tour are really appreciated.

- Julie· January 13th, 2024We have just comeback from our trip to Southern India with Payless Tours. Good communication before our trip as I had asked for additional days at either end of the holiday, this was agreed and booked very quickly. We had the name and telephone number of our guide before we left. Pick up went smoothly. Our driver/guide was an excellent driver and we felt very safe with him. He could have given us some more info about sites we went to see but he was very attentive and accommodating. The accommodation was as described 3 star but all clean, showers, with working air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Bottled water was provided in every room daily. The hotel in Munnar was rather isolated which meant that we had to eat there both nights, somewhere with a bit more atmosphere/ nearer other hotels/ restaurants would be preferable. The overnight on the Houseboat was great. The two evening entertainments , were both worth seeing, they only lasted an hour. Food was excellent, no issues with upset tummies. Stick to restaurant food and bottled water and you will be fine. A lovely way to see South India. Very safe and well organised. I would recommend this company and this holiday.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewThanks for your great review of our South India tour We’ve passed your kind words on to our team.

- Florin· June 8th, 2023That 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.Show morePayless tours india commented on this reviewWe are so satisfied to receive such a positive feedback regarding our services and Paylsstoursindia team.
