Communication with the tour operator worked very well and he asked how we were doing every day. We had problems booking tickets for the Periyar boat tour, but the operator booked the tickets for us without any problems. Since the Eravikulam NP is closed in February and March, we were offered an interesting alternative program. Our driver, Mr. Nikhil, looked after us very well and drove carefully. He was happy to fulfill our special requests, made stops along the way and he helped us drink the best coffee of our trip in a small restaurant. It would have been nice to have more information about the country and its people, but since Mr. Nikhil was our driver and not a tour guide, that wasn't his job. The hotels were very nice and clean. The houseboat was exclusive to us and rustic, the staff were very accommodating. We really enjoyed the tour and can only recommend it. Thank you very much!

5 out of 5 stars

We had a fantastic time exploring four areas of Kerala on our private tour! Our driver was excellent, speaking good English and providing valuable insights, and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. While the car was basic and the tour not luxurious, it was an amazing value for the price and a fun way to see Kerala's sights - we highly recommend it!
