A great new trip from Peter Bluck who created the Kerala and Sri Lankan trips. It was the first time the trip had been run so there will be some tweaking for future trips but its another winner!

This is a great holiday to introduce you to the delights of Southern India. It was a magical experience and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in this part of the world.

The itinerary is good, but full-on. Explore and all the other similar companies seem to compete by how many places they can fit into a trip, which is good if you want a taster, but not-so-good if you want to spend a bit of time in your preferred locations. However, the only disappointing part was the houseboat; the backwaters are full of them....not very idyllic. Our guide and driver were amazing; they took care of everything so it was relaxing despite the schedule.

Thank you for organizing quickly my trip as per my request. I really appreciated the fast and efficiency work in organizing this trip. Almost everything met my expectations. My friend who went to Kerala and Tamil Nadu few years ago gave me the email of this tour organizer and I am very satisfied. I am a woman from France and it was my first time in India. I decided to trust them and now I know They are reliable and I would recommend it to my friends. Now I come back home with full of amazing souvenirs from Kerala & Tamil Nadu and I feel so relaxed now. Thanks again for everything !

It was the best decision to book this tour because I could see more from India but relax at the same time. Moreover I had the chance to meet great new people and to travel "alone" in such a huge country.

This was a most fabulous trip - a fantastic mix of cycling and sampling local culture. We had a really good guide Shibu and his team. We loved Kerala and the mix of experiences on this trip. We liked the level which was leisurely /moderate - ideal in such a hot country we wish there were more trips available at this level. We loved the food and have had withdrawal cravings on return to the UK from such delicious fare! We had a great group of people on this tour they also helped to make it a brilliant experience.
