Unforgettable Tour through Kerala

Ivo_D, Feb 2025

Unforgettable tour through Kerala Our trip through Kerala was simply unique and beautiful! The impressive nature, the green tea plantations, the idyllic backwaters and the dreamlike beaches made a deep impression on us. Every day was full of new experiences and unforgettable moments. Special thanks go to our driver Ismael, who made the tour something very special. He was not only an excellent driver, but also a wonderful guide with a wealth of knowledge about the region. Thanks to his friendly manner, helpfulness and professionalism, we felt safe and comfortable at all times. We can recommend this tour without reservation - a perfect mix of relaxation, adventure and cultural highlights. Kerala is a dream destination and with such a great driver as Ismael, the trip becomes an unforgettable experience!

5 star service

Nimisha and Anil our guide were amazing, and I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants a hassle free vacation. Nimisha spoke with me from the time I booked and was able to make accommodations for everything we wanted to see in Kerala. She had amazing recommendations and was able to book things for us when we weren’t able to. Anil our guide was amazing and had a wealth of knowledge about Kerala. My parents love plants and he made it a point to stop anytime there was an interesting plant when we were driving. We were able to meet Nimisha as well and she gave us a folder with our hotel itineraries the plan for the whole trip as well as general information about Kerala before we headed out for our trip. The boat ride was amazing and we had the whole boat to ourselves and the chef made amazing food. I think if I had the option to go again I would choose the boat that has windows because there was a fair amount of mosquitos in the night. Overall, the experience was a 10/10.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Mam, Greetings from Sanguine Holidays Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure working with you to create your Kerala vacation, and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip. Thank you for your feedback about the boat windows (hope you meant a boat with front area glass covered) We would love to welcome you back for another holiday !

Highly recommended!

The hotels are all very good. The tour is adapted to individual requirements. There are always options to choose from alongside the fixed supporting programme. We were very pleased with our driver Jaison and the organization by Nimisha. But if you are animal-loving, you should not book elephant rides or baths. I was thinking of a river by the elephant bath where you can watch elephants bathe. Instead, an elephant stood chained in a concrete basin and was supposed to wet-spray visitors. Terrible! Otherwise everything was very interesting!
