Wonderful Kerala Trip with Great Service! I booked my Kerala trip through Travel planners in April, and it was a wonderful experience. Our driver, Ragin, was extremely helpful, punctual, and cooperative throughout the trip. He was genuinely excited to show us authentic places and made sure we had a great local experience. A special mention to Aswathy, our tour planner — she was very polite and patient.

First Generation Malayalees showing beautiful Kerala to our kids! The Travel Planners booked a 2 week trip through Kerala for my family of 13 traveling from the US. Everything was done by email and so smooth! They responded quickly to all my questions. We are first generation Malayalees but had never been “tourists” in Kerala.
