Memories together - It was a great experience with my family, after almost 20-25 years we cherished our memories together. Sunrise was phenomenal and my daughter enjoyed the beach.

Premium Trip - Team, I felt it important to come back and share my view. The Trip was tremendous we had been planning this trip from so many years due to many factors it couldn’t materialize. However this time it all kicked off only because of Expertise Travel and their offers.

Unforgettable trip to Kanyakumari - We had a great time. We enjoyed the sight-seeing, we were served the delicious Indian cuisine and we met a lot of new people; locals. We want to deeply thank Expertise Travels for making this trip one of the best we ever had. The program they prepared for us was not crowded and exhausting. We enjoyed seeing as much of Kanyakumari as we can while also finding time to relax. They also assigned us a great driver, Vinod, who did not spare any effort in ensuring we had a great time. Vinod spoke English, so while driving he continuously described our surroundings. He drove safely. The road trip was delightful.

Great Tour - I was worried whether I could visit all the places as mentioned in the itinerary or not. Well I am pleased with Expertise People for defining an excellent tour schedule the person who drove us was a very jovial guy and he took extra effort to ensure we visited all the attractions agreed upon.

Reprogram the tour - A poorly organized trip. It took three hours to drive to Kanyakumari and 2.5 hours to return leaving only 2.5 hours for visiting all the included sites. The major attraction Vivekananda and Thruvaluvar alone took 1.5 hours leaving just enough time to reach SunsetSpot. We were on the final ferries to Vivekananda and Thiruvaluvar, another 15 minutes and we would have missed those attractions. We had a moderately English speaking driver whom we wil not identify as a guide. He was vey pleasant and accommodating but we had to direct the tour as he was not well informed on what was included in the tour. Bottom line, this tour must be reprogrammed.

A long drive and not a tour - It seems that Viator tours in Kerala are not associated with providing a guide. You get a driver who barely talks comprehensible English, does not talk on the long trip, drops you off at the various sites and says see you later. The ferry ride is short but on an overly old loaded boat, likely illegal. Very hot day, and a long wait before returning on the ever more crowded ferry. We were taken to a nice hotel for a good lunch that we paid for. The two tours that we did with Viator in Kerala were certainly way below our expectations and nowhere comparable to previous tours enjoyed in other countries. I would call them overpriced drives and would discourage anyone from taking them.

Kanyakumari day package - The driver was good as a driver but had very limited English. We were given no information regarding timings, itinerary or places visited. All admissions were meant to be included but we had to pay entry to Vivekanada Rock and the ferry out to it. Thiruvallur statue was closed. Bhagavathy Amman Temple was closed. We were never shown the Ghandi memorial. The driver tried to sell us a backwater tour as soon as we were picked up how we could have fitted this in remains to be seen.
