Undiscovered Northern Kerala Traveller Reviews

A great variety of visits. City , markets, palaces, wildlife, game reserves, coffee and tea plantations, visits to local sites , guided and un guided , boat building, beaches and sea etc. All fabulous!

Interest in planning the holiday each person requires

Our trip was delayed twice. We were delighted to get to India, and see the country and taste wonderful food.

We have used Experience several times before, and find they plan great trips in consultation with us. The hotels are often quirky, but great quality. They factor in a few special experiences.

Experience Travel Group organised a visit to Kerala. They put together an itinerary that suited us. We wanted to be more off the beaten track but still comfortable. Our stays at coffee and tea plantations, safari lodge, a beach resort and houseboat on the North Kerala backwaters, were delightful and exceeded our expectations. The underlying organisation of the trip meant we had no worries about where we should be and how we should get there. The activities provided - such as local walks and safaris, were very welcome and informative. We were able to get to know Kerala and its people in a more intimate way, which is what we wanted to do. The itinerary was well thought through so that we had a mixture of experiences with a balance of activity and relaxation that suited us. Kerala was a wonderful experience which excited all senses at once. Amazing.

Experience Travel Group got to know us and what we liked and disliked. We were initially unsure about how to convey what we wanted from the holiday, but ETG made it very easy. They put together an itinerary with the local office. The UK staff were experienced and knowledgeable about Kerala. On the holiday we were greeted and looked after from the outset. At each place we travelled to the staff knew who we were and the details of our travel plans, so that everything worked seamlessly. The experiences we had were appropriate and beyond our expectations. Staff, and drivers were professional and we felt well looked after by both the UK and local office. Everyone was very friendly and hospitable.

A compelling mix of city , hills , safari and beach interwoven with local cultural , scenic and culinary experience .

For the third year running really excellent .

Kerala is a beautiful region, mountains, spice plantations, backwaters and sea. Everywhere is so lush and green. The people are really friendly and seem very interested in foreigners. The food is superb, I don't think I had one bad meal. All hotels were fantastic.

James is great, it's the second time I h.ave booked a holiday through him. It's a good working relationship

16 days in Kerala, away from the beaten track. Superbly organised from beginning to end. What an experience.

Extremely service minded and professional, with a personal touch.

We arrived in Bangalore ( silicon city of India), then on to Mysore where we saw the palace illuminated at night; then on safari trips to Nagarhole and Bandipur seeing the conservation progress for helping the natural breeding of animals such as tigers, elephants and other wildlife. We were very impressed with their policies to stop plastic and allow nature to weave its magic wand for recovery and conservation of the land and inhabitants. We then visited the coffee and tea plantations and arrived in `Cochin and Ernakulam to explore the old and new city.

Experience Travel Group are extremely professional and very considerate for each individual's preferences when travelling to new places. I would recommend them for their ability to put together names people for every part of the journey who were so helpful, informative and considered our safety.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Kerala experience with a variety of experiences, gentle friendly people and good places to stay

Experience Travel take amazing care to ensure your holiday is tailor made to suit your every wish. The staff are very friendly and work hard to ensure they provide a holiday of a life time!

A wonderful first experience of India, with lots of variety of landscapes, exciting wildlife and excellent accommodation.

Produced an excellent personalised itinerary based on our requirements. The staff in India & London were excellent, being knowledgeable and looking after our every need

Our visit to India was the first time we had travelled in Asia and we had both been a little nervous as to quite what the trip may involve. In fact the reality was that we had no need for nervousness as everything we had been promised in terms of the quality of accommodation and care combined with the range of experiences offered all were excellent. We had an absolutely wonderful time and the memories we come back with are the lovelyy and enriching souvenir that India has left us

I would recommend the Experience travel Group to anyone. They did everything they undertook to do and did so with great courtesy
