Honest insights from past guests on our Cultural, religious historic sites India tours
Anonymous | Traveled in April
There were only four on the trip (Highlights of Kerala) and I was initially the sole one. I really appreciated Exodus holding back booking my flights until others had booked as I didn't want to be alone. As it turned out we were like a little family with the award winning Biju as our leader and what a fabulous leader he proved to be. Exodus always delivers the best experiences as described and are extremely helpful in the planning and booking stages right up to departure.

The trip had just the right mix of cultural experiences & free time. Our guide, Biju, made the trip. His knowledge, story telling, help & advice meant we felt safe & supported, and could concentrate on just enjoying the tour. Without him it wouldn't have been as good.

Excellent tour - so full of fascinating facts, relics and sites from India's amazing past (but maybe not to be recommended for a first time to India visitor). I highly commend our guide Nab - extremely knowledgeable, courteous, easily understood, caring, professional, a good sense of humour, and a very interesting person - I cannot fault her.

Overall a great experience. Some of the days involved long travel distance and long days of travel in the van. Our tour guide did his best to break up the long drives but it might be good to evaluate the itinerary a bit to reduce the long drives. Loved the varied itinerary. Our tour guide and van driver were terrific, very polite, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The small group of 10 was a nice size. Good variety of locations and experiences (loved the backwater houseboat!). Nice variety of site seeing and experiences such as meals with local hosts.

We are just back from our first ever trip to India. It was a wonderful experience full of amazing buildings, palaces and forts. We tried a wide variety of delicious food and had the opportunity to eat at both top end restaurants for a reasonable price as well as sample a range of street food. The trip certainly lived up to its name as the colours we saw were so vibrant, whether it was ladies dressed in beautiful saris, colourful flowers and garlands or the decoration in the temples.

Very well planned, with lots of enjoyable activities. The online information about the tour was excellent, as was the customer service and booking process. The tour itself was very enjoyable, and the guide was excellent.
