Sharon· January 17th, 2025Not one of Intrepid's better trips. There was a lot of travel involved with most stays only being one night. The hotels weren't great, with lots of issues. The minibuses used were quite crammed, especially when the tour was at capacity. Overall, I enjoyed southern India, especially the day trip on the houseboat. I just think that this tour could have been done better.Show more

- SHSusana· February 4th, 2020Fantastic tour and amazing experience with guide Abhi!! Lots of one night stays which enables you to get around to see lots of places yet also a couple of 2night stays allowing you to settle in more at a few locations. Had a bonus 2 stays with pools which came in handy as the constant temperature during January was hot and humid aside from the nights spent up in the amazingly beautiful tea plantations. Bring plenty of deet and a light warm jacket or coat. Transport to and from airport is easy to book yourself and will save you a lot of money. Uber is available from most Indian airports just make sure you sort your sim card out at the airport 1st and have them activate it before you leave the airport. Vodafone will do this for you. If you are lucky to get Ahbi as your guide then you are on good hands and will enjoy the south of IndiaShow moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThanks so much Susana!Trip date: January 2020
