Most of the hotels that we stayed in were excellent. They are all wonderful resorts. The Fort House in Kochi has a beautiful outdoors but the hotel room itself is a little rustic and shabby. Also, in the Fort House, we were awakened at 5 am in the morning by the very loud call to prayer from the neighbouring mosque. The tour was amazing and everything was nicely arranged, and there were a variety of facilities with included transfers from the airport to the hotel. We have covered all the places mentioned in the itinerary. Best experience!

We had a very good experience with Exotic Luxury Holiday. I was planning this trip on my own and it was getting tedious. I found this tour agency based on good reviews on the internet and decided to take a chance. I was not disappointed. He took all the stress out of booking and handling stuff at the local level. They are flexible and gracious enough to incorporate changes we suggested in the itinerary. Overall good experience and had a carefree trip.
