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 !

Without the dust in Rajastan India is indeed a great destination not only for Westerners but anyone interested in East Indian cultures and traditions. Food was good but a little too salty for my tastebuds. In southern India food not as salty but also very good.
I plan at some later time to revisit India but be a little more prepared to deal with the dust and the northern weather in January.
