Feedback
Our trip was fantastic and comfortable enough. The standard of tour guide was very good and we learned a lot of things from him. He was well-known about the major highlights of the destinations and made our trip a pleasant experience.


We loved our trip to India and had a great time savoring the delicious dishes of India. Besides dishes, the sightseeing trip to Cochin was very interesting. At Cochin, we saw the Chinese Fishing Nets which are put several centuries back.


Flavour of India was a nice combination of North India and Kerala. After visiting the desert land of Rajasthan we got a refreshing feel amidst Kerala's tropical and lush environs. We also got an excellent chance to taste a number of delectable dishes of India.
