We had a personalised tour of Kerala for 8 days and 9 nights. The tour was so well organised and Iris holidays have been so good with communication. We saw some wonderful sights (Fort Kochi, Munnar & the houseboat being a highlight) and stayed in some amazing hotels. The driver was a great driver and very friendly. Our only feedback is we wish he would have told us more about the areas. We would highly recommend this tours. thank you

We met our tour guide Lalan sir , so polite so humble he has lot of knowledge and not even for a single time we found tat there was any route mismatch. He is perfect in his job and is very caring and sweet in nature. The personalisation and rapport building which we formed during our entire stay was commendable. This is my first time in Kerala as a leisure trip and i njoyed the most. Thank you for the wonderful time and comfortable ride. Truly a gem of heart. And I thank Iris holidays for providing such a nice guide for our stay.

Wonderfull experience with Iris Travels. The booking,Customer support were smooth and fast. Hotels were of premium category expect houseboat which let us down,we were provided deluxe boat in which ac timings were fixed (should have communicated earlier).we would have opted premium ones if known earlier.Also the water inside the Houseboat was muddy hence we did not take bath. Comming to the transportation part, it was amazing part since Senu(Driver) was very friendly,polite,helpful great driving skills. Would recommend to anyone anytime. Overrall wonderfull experience in this kerala trip (4N/5D) apart from some small things(houseboat related). Cheers ,Iris Travels.
