May 20,2013They organise what you want, or will provide ideas and suggestions if you aren't sure. Everything is done for you and you are met at the airport, taxi for the whole holiday with various experienced guides, then deposited at the airport for the return flights. Yet, for all this the holiday has the feel of being done independently. Everything is organised and booked for you with good accommodation.

May 20,2013We have been to Kerala four times recently, each time with KTC although, we have arranged our own international flights. They suggested tours the first time and we have chosen our own subsequently. We have always been looked after when there, and sometimes they have gone beyond expectations. I have recommended them to friends and family without comeback!

May 19,2013My wife and I had always wanted to go to India but weren't sure where to go on our first trip. We were seeking sun and relaxation so Goa was an obvious choice but we wanted a little more. Kerala was recommended and then I friend suggested using Kerala Travel Centre .....the team were first class and put together a wonderful itinerary and this was backed by the fact they had great people on the ground. We had a wonderful trip and would use these guys again!

May 19,2013We were invited to a wedding in Bangalore and decided to see some of Kerala. The bride and groom suggested we talk to Kerala Travel which we did. From the first conversation with I was confident that they understood what we wanted. The whole package was put together well and came within budget. We were met at airports as agreed transfers were made without any fuss and the accommodation was great. Talk to Kerala Travel before you go.

May 18,2013If you are looking to plan a trip to south India then I would highly recommend Kerala Travel Centre. From the very start the team in the office listen to your requirements and budget and will plan an itinerary accordingly. Once your plane lands in India the driver and guides are excellent, friendly, attentive and above all professional. There isn't a better way to visit Southern India - for us the mix of accommodation was just right with Home stays, Boutique Hotels and a great beach hotel at the end to really relax before heading back to the UK.

May 18,2013My wife and I have now travelled with the Kerala Travel Centre to several different parts of southern India and we are looking forward to going again this year. We have tried many companies that provide bespoke packages; the KTC is by far the best. Their experienced agents carefully listen to your preferences and create your ideal holiday, selecting innovative itineraries and the best hotels. It is amazing that their outstanding, hand-crafted packages are invariably cheaper than inferior package deals provided by the larger companies. I rarely recommend holiday providers, but the KTC is the exception. A number of our close friends were a little concerned about travelling to India, but with our encouragement booked a tour of Kerala with the KTC. They returned two weeks later delighted with their holiday and - like us - passionate about India and its people.

May 18,2013The holiday was well organised. Everything went to plan. Our personal driver was very good and always obliging. We were very happy with all the accommodation making our holiday very memorable. Thank you.

May 18,2013We told the company exactly what we wished to see and do and they came up with more than we expected.

May 18,2013Mostly good in terms or organising but the holiday itself had a number of serious problems including the hotel on the first night unable to take us and leaving us without accomodation at 5am after a very long journey. Our trip in the tiger sanctuary had not been booked locally and they were unable to take us. Very disappointing. After return home in December there was no follow up contact until now! The holiday was excellent for the most part. Given the above I doubt I would recommend to a friend.

May 18,2013We really weren't too sure of what to expect, as we booked through Groupon. We couldn't have arranged this trip any better from start to finish everything went smoothly, and to think we were in India! Our tour started in Amritsar and we were treated to the delightful Golden Temple and then off to see the Waga border closing at sunset. The driver and guide looked after us well, stopping at the many roadside stalls to purchase traditional food for us to taste. This we did with caution so as not to upset our delicate British tums! The hotel was of a good standard and adequate for a one night stop. The next morning we set off on about a 6 hour drive into the Himalyas to a home stay owned by a retired brigadier and his wife.....so what, I thought when I first read about it, we'll not see him. How wrong I was, this charming couple welcomed us into their home, fed us well and were interesting company over lunch and dinner every day...nothing was too much trouble. Their hospitality was even extended when my husband became too ill to travel to our next destination, they let us stay on and even arranged a smoother car to train journey with the authorities. I must mention the Navek La is a wonderful pace to stay. The mountain views from our window, the gardens, the bubbling stream, the delicious Indian food and of course the hosts. Unfortunately we missed out staying in Shimla. Our trip ended in Delhi. The Delhi guide was excellent, together we planned our tour for the day and felt that we had excellent value for money throughout the whole holiday. We'd certainly use the Travel Centre again.

May 17,2013We were very impressed by our organised holiday put together by Kerala Travel. Everything was arranged to make it an easy an effortless trip for myself and my 87 year old mother. I would highly recommend a visit to beautiful Kerala, the boat trip on the backwaters being a highlight. 10 out of 10. Clive.

May 17,2013Travelled on the Kerala South tour and thoroughly enjoyed a contrast in locations from city to isolation. No problems whatsoever, excellent hotels and an itinerary that delivered a variety of wonderful memories. Quite a bit of travelling involved but our driver Brian was excellent . Kerala Travel staff were charming and informative and I would not hesitate to use them again.

May 17,2013Whenever someone says they're going to Kerala, I immediately tell them to get in touch with Kerala Travel. Raj and his team were absolutely professional from the first moment we showed interest. They helped mould our itinerary to exactly what the 4 of us wanted, so that we saw such a lot in the 16 days, from Mysore across to Mamallapuram. But inbetween we had wonderful rest days (overnight on a riceboat) and staying at a couple of the wonderful heritage places - we cannot recommend them more highly. We also noticed that we often met other tourists along the way who were with more expensive tour companies, but we had just as good service with Kerala Travel. Wherever we went, there was always someone making sure that everything worked, including the patient drivers - we really hope to re-visit these places and ask Kerala Travel to look after us again.

May 17,2013Great price- contacted several other operators befoe chosing Keral Travel centre. The tour of southern India was tailor made for us. The service was second to none-driver/guide, hotels. everything was well thought out even down to suplying us with an Indian mobile phone ( at no extra cost apart from topping it up with about 1GB£) so we could be in constant contact with our driver and even use it for texting UK. I had the misfortune to break my arm during the tour, I was quickly taken to an excellent hospital by the driver, arm was xrayed, put in half cast - carried on with the tour and the local ground staff arranged a followup appointment at another hospital prior to flyng back to uk. The whole treatment cost me 20GB£ Have no hesitation in recommending Kerala Travel Centre

May 17,2013We traveled to Kerela on our honeymoon and were rather apprehensive with what to expect. We had the most amazing time, the rooms were spotless, the food incredible and each of the hotels we stayed in the staff were extremely accommodating. We had our own taxi for the duration of our holiday and he was brilliant and tried to explain and show us more than our trip offered. We would not hesitate to go back.

May 20,2013Had wanted to visit Kerala for sometime and was lucky enough to see them at the travel show in London. My friend was a little unsure (she was not with me at the exhibition anyway) but as soon as we made contact with Kerala Travel Centre, who tailor-made our holiday she was assured - and quite rightly so. Everything went as planned, and boy did they take care of us and when you are 2 ladies of a certain age, this is important! Our accommodation lived up to our high expectations, our driver became our friend, our houseboat stay was surreal, and our homestay was excellent - the recipes have been tried and tested- and worked!! My friend was particular about her diet - no problem - wherever we went they had been forewarned and cooked especially for her if need be - what more could we ask for. I can't speak highly enough of this Company, and look forward to travelling with them again. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
