Unforgettable trip to Kerala
I booked a 5 day tour: Kochi to Munnar, Thekkady and Kumarakom. The communication was fantastic. George was very responsive and flexible with my requests. Every part of the itinerary was fulfilled. More than I imagined.

Cultural and Heritage Tour in Kochi
Riding in a small car was much more comfortable than a bus and we were able to see different things and go into small streets. We would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who is coming to Kochi on a cruise.
