It was like going on a second honeymoon! Metaphorically!! I retired 4years ago and my wife will retire in a couple of months, so a relaxation trip was essentially required. I planned for six months and finally decided on an itinerary,- Delhi to Trivandrum to Kanyakumari to Rameshwaram and back. It was aa week long trip. We stayed in Trivandrum at Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel. An excellent property vis a vis location, ambience, proximity to the beach. We pampered ourselves though at a cost. The rooms were nice as was the food. Special mention of Sasi Kumar who took care of our sight seeing needs as per our preference,Sumit at the restaurant. The four days here were fantabulous. We moved on to Kanyakumari and lodged ourselves at TTDC, KANYAKUMARI. The location of the property is fantastic right at the southern tip of the Indian Peninsula and huge vastness of the oceans was awe inspiring. The communication and lack of vareity food was a bit of a problem. We saw the Swamy Vivekananda Rock memorial and the statue of Thiruvalluvar. Could not visit by ferry as the sea was rough. View of the sunrise and sunset was a no go due to a heavy clod cover. We made a da trip to Rameshwaram and did darshan and also visited Dhanushkodi -a site to see and remember. Rested for a day aat Kanyakumari after a fourteen hour sojourn by road and after a week of enjoyment and rejuvenation retraced ourselves to Delhi. An exciting and invigorating trip!

This was an excellent adventure and an opportunity to see more of India than just the cities. Our guide was Ajih and he was excellent. Ajih was very knowledgeable and helpful; he went above and beyond his duties as a guide and provided us with some very useful tips and even crossed India traffic so I could get my picture of coconuts! Thanks for a great day.

What can I say apart from wonderful. Got picked up from hotel by Jay and his driver who took us on a wonderful full day trip to the tip of India. Our guide Jay was wonderful. So knowledgeable about this beautiful country. Nothing was too much trouble. Any questions we asked were met with a wonderful detailed reply. Jay’s ability to enthral us in the stories and beliefs of gods were so wonderful to listen too. Thank you Jay. Stopped off for lunch at a local restaurant which was fab and then carried on for our tour. Our driver was great. The roads are manic but we felt very well looked after. The whole trip was wonderful and detailed. Great value for money and would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Returned to our hotel 12 hours after we started. Loved everything about this tour. Thank you xxx

My colleagues and I used our precious saturday for a tour to discover the most southern point of India. It was amazing! A completely well organized tour, a smart guide with an impressive level of english and the most important: flexibility. We even made it for the beautiful sunst at cape comorin! I would definitely recommend that tour :-)
