Highlights of Kerala - Just returned back from 11 days in beautiful Kerala, completing the fabled triangle, Kochi, Munnar, Thekaddy and back to Kochi. This was a very last minute trip, so it was imperative that the tour operator was able to quickly pull together options for me (3 days). Anoop at Saffron was amazing - right from the initial contact, he understood my requirements based on what type of trip we were looking for and what was good and what to avoid. Anoop created a bespoke package for us within a few days, and that gave me the confidence to commit and book my tickets from London to Kochi. We had one driver for the tour, who went at our pace, and stopped where we wanted and when we wanted to break. There was no pressure or rushing around - which is really important when the key element is to relay and enjoy the views as you travel through the amazing countryside. The hotels that Anoop suggested were great, and cannot complain on the rooms, food or service. Just truly brilliant. Lastly, Anoop also recommended a lovely Ayurveda resort, Nihara, where we spent the last week of our trip. This was again a real gem, as otherwise it’s quite challenging to choose an Ayurveda centre from the dozens that are advertised when visiting from abroad. If you want to visit Kerala, and be assured that you will be dealing with a professional, family based tour operator, who will tailor the tour to your preferences, I can definitely recommend Saffron Tours.

Great way to explore the region - This trip is a great way to see some amazing parts of Kerala’s mountains and natural areas. Our driver was so knowledgeable about local places to see and eat and he made the trip more enjoyable. The region has so much to do and see. The amount of driving on mountain roads was sometimes difficult so we skipped some places we could have seen. In Thekkady, be sure to prebook activities at the park as the lines are long. We disinter any animals since there was lots of water in the mountains and the animals come to the lake when it is drier. All around a great 5 days!

A Journey Through God's Own Country - Saffron Tours was exceptional. They were organized, knowledgeable, and responsive to our needs. The itinerary they crafted showcased the best of Kerala, from the tranquil backwaters to the vibrant cities. Accommodations were comfortable and premium segments, he transportation was reliable and the chauffeur mr.rajesh was well behaved. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring a memorable experience made our Kerala tour truly special. Will surely refer to our friends who all are visiting India.

Beautiful Kerala - We absolutely loved Kerala. Doing the tour was a great way to see many things without the stress of organizing or coordinating all of the logistics. It was incredibly organized, and the staff was very attentive and accommodating to our needs and preferences. The car for moving between cities was a great idea, and our driver, Mr. Jojan, was super friendly, accommodating, professional and a very good driver. The hotels were all superb, incredibly clean and with fantastic service. We loved Munnar, the tea plantations, Thekkady and the boat ride in Periyar. We highly recommend this tour, and will be recommending it to any friends who are travelling through Kerala.

Kerala 4nights-5days excellent trip - My husband and I booked this trip for first week of January 2024. It was a very well arranged, good few spots for sightseeing that we could do at our own pace. Our driver (Sainu) was excellent, always on time and drove very safely. The car (Toyota Innova) was also very comfy. We both had a 30kg suitcase and a 10kg hand luggage each and it all fit in hassle free in the car. Also the trip coordinator and the driver were always available when called, we always had a clear line of communication with them despite it being peak tourist season. The package included really good, clean hotels with all modern amenities and comfort, we really enjoyed each stay. There wasn't a set itinerary but we had rough list of sightseeing spots based on the package provided. I would however, recommend dropping the Spice Plantation plus Ayurvedic shop part of the trip in Munnar, the Spice "garden" was just a trail walk while the guide showed us plants growing on the side of the trail, it's not a garden, just an upper level introduction to Ayurvedic plants. But other than that we thoroughly enjoyed the trip! Would highly recommend to couples, families etc.

Don’t expect to get all the itinerary says you will - Reading the reviews we expected a wonderful tour, alas that wasn’t what we received. We didn’t get 4 of the items on the schedule. The national park is closed every year for February and March so if planning to go you won’t be able to in those months and Saffron Tours know this but don’t advise, they still leave it on the schedule. In the early part of the year the waterfalls are nonexistent but again they know but don’t advise, 2 other elements we weren’t taken to and only realised when checking at the end of the day. We did enjoy the tea museum and of course the wonderful scenery but 5 hours in a car with the ‘interesting’ driving style was not the best. The 3 nights hotel accommodation were fab with great pools, clean rooms and very caring staff but these hotels exist without Saffron Tours. The actual hotels though were great. The backwaters are so peaceful and it’s great to watch the world glide by but you literally sail away from the start point for max 1 1/2 hours then stop for lunch and sail back to the start point which has a new bridge being built and pile driving going on late into the night. You are moored up cheek by Jowel with all the other boats and there are hundreds of them so it’s not the restful image you are given, even 2 of the staff members go home rather than staying on the boat overnight. You pay for top class service with Saffron Tours but receive a third rate one so personally I’d not recommend them as they lied to us. In fairness I brought issues to their attention and the apologised and after 3 weeks I got a small percentage back as an apology but I could have organised a driver and booked hotels and boat myself for half the cost. Either try another tour operator or book it yourself or wait until you are in India where there are loads and loads of tour operators offering such 3 or 4 or even 5 night schedules depending on what you want. Please if you use Saffron Tours manage your expectations downwards. Last point most of the attractions are very popular so there are tacky stalls selling cheap plastic toys and random tat which again was a bit of a surprise no locally produced hand made items to be seen 🤷‍♂️
