Michael Norbert Vogel | Kerala Tour Package Overall the experience was fantastic. The choice of hotel could not have been better. The driver, Johnson was exceptional – a true professional. The boat house was good but too long. The services, vehicle, accommodation, hospitality and arrangements were excellent!

Thank you for this kind service you provide for me & Anne with your great Travel agency.
The westcoast is really "gods own country" :-)
We had the pleasure not only to ride an elephant but rather take a bath with him and he gave us a shower with his nose!
We enjoyed our tour on a houseboat trough the backwaters of Allepey, that has been really nice.
I'm excited to stay in touch with you in the future and hope to receive some news of you soon ;-)
Sunny greetings,
