Sanguine Holidays gave us an exemplary experience as our tour operator in Kerala. Across nine nights, we enjoyed a combination of great hotels, restaurants, and explorations of the sights and sounds of Kerala.
Our holiday started with our collection from Ernakulam train station, and a two-night stay in a new hotel in Kochi. We were treated to a brilliant start to the tour and our driver Vishnu was exceptional throughout the entire tour. From there, we travelled to Alleppey to enjoy the delights of an overnight stay on a houseboat in Kerala's famed backwaters, a highlight of our tour.
From there, we arrived in Thekkady where we stayed at the Greenwood Resorts hotel. This was very well located as it was central in the town, from which we could easily walk around local amenities and businesses, but also a serene retreat once inside the gates of the hotel complex.
After Thekkady, we stayed for three nights in Munnar at the exquisite Tall Trees resort. This hotel was perfect for us, tucked away next to a picturesque tea plantation and a beautiful location. The staff made the stay special, and we enjoyed the visit to Ernakulam National Park from here, as well as a great massage at the resort. The food options in the restaurant were brilliant, and the views from our rooms were breathtakingly beautiful.
Lastly, we transferred to Cherai Beach, a little north from Kochi. What a location. Whilst the hotel was somewhat basic in its facilities, the location gave us views of unspoilt beaches on one side, and a strip of the backwaters in the other.
Sanguine Holidays were attentive throughout the booking process, providing exceptional service and value throughout. The itinerary they created for us, as well as their hotel recommendations were fantastic, and I admire their attention to detail and highly communicative approach to support us with the booking process throughout. This included booking train tickets and tickets for a boat cruise which we were unable to do as the payment system only allowed Indian nationals to book online. I would highly recommend booking with Sanguine Holidays, and I have already recommended them to several friends and family members. Thank you to Nimisha, Vishnu, and the rest of their team for creating such a memorable holiday experience for my family.

Wonderful trip in December '24 and January '25. 4 slightly older adults, needing a bit more comfort than when younger!
Sanguine were highly professional, helpful and accessible from UK and Australia.
Hotels were excellent, drivers and activities were booked without hitches and their advice was always good.
We had no concerns at all . Our drivers were safe and very experienced on the sometimes difficult roads, and the cars were spotless and air-conditioned, which helped a lot!
Recommendations for roadside restaurants were generally very good. (No tummy problems!)
Delighted to highly recommend Sanguine Holidays, and Nimisha in particular, who was assiduous in keeping in touch, making sure all was well and helping with any issues such as the labyrinthine banking rules when we were trying to book day trips!
We had 9 days of care and calm, expert driving from Sumesh in particular, who was wonderful.
It was an unforgettable trip, and we're extremely grateful to Sanguine for putting it all together for us.

We had an excellent experience with Nimisha and Sanguine holidays for our 6 day holiday in Kerala. They were prompt in providing an itinerary and were flexible in changing to suit us. They gave 2-3 suggestions of hotels at each location, but we went with the first option which were all superb. We would highly recommend Sanguine holidays to anyone visiting Kerala, especially if you want to save lots of stress and time.

I contacted Sanguine tours in the hope of arranging a trip at very short notice. The lovely and efficient Namishia replied immediately and within a short time had sorted out an itinerary for us at a reasonable price. Two days later we were on our way with Sumesh who was not only an excellent driver, but a genuinely nice guy who didn’t seem at all phased by our tendency to tweak the plan and ask random questions about life in India.

The houseboat was very pretty and traditional and the staff looked after us well, we had a lovely relaxed day cruising the Kerala backwaters. Accommodation in Thekkady and Munnar was of a high standard and we got to see all the local attractions, visit the parks, enjoy the scenery and even saw a couple of elephants (thank you Sumesh, we know how lucky we were)!

Namishia kept in touch to ensure everything was going well and even booked our park tickets for Periyar as my credit card would not work on the official park website.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip - it has enough structure that we didn’t have to organise anything for ourselves, but was flexible enough that we felt free to make it suit ourselves. Would definitely recommend this company for your travels. The only downside is that they don’t operate outside of Kerala, otherwise we would’ve had them sort out the rest of our trip for us ;-)

Sanguine Holidays organised our 25 day tour of Kerala and neighbouring region. What an amazing holiday in an inspiring country where we have met incredibly hospitable people. Sanguineholidays put together a bespoke tour based on our budget giving us a choice of recommended hotels , made the bookings, suggested an itinerary , booked a driver and even changed some of our accommodation as we went along and wanted to visit an area for longer. We wanted an authentic trip with a mix of local hotels and homestays and everywhere was really great. The food has been beyond our expectations, from restaurants to roadside cafes, chosen by our driver. For anyone thinking of a holiday to Kerala I cannot recommend SanguineHolidays highly enough, they have been brilliant and stayed in contact with us all the way though to check if everything was ok . You would not get this level of service in the UK. Also thanks to Nimisha Sumode at Sanguine for her great organisation and communication and for helping me sort out our onward flight to Bangkok , which was a communication nightmare with the airline , I also have a new emoji 🙏 namaste. Nimisha also was in touch most days just to check everything was ok. Stellar and awesome are fitting words to describe the first class service from Sanguine Holidays

Hi, we used Sanguine holidays to plan and manage our trip from UK to Kerala with our 3 children in October 2023. We travelled over 900 miles in 11 days visiting cities from Trivandrum to Kochi and also beaches and hill stations on the way. We never travelled as a family to India and took a chance on Sanguine Holidays to arrange it and they were more than excellent. We have travelled many places around the world but Ms Nimisha and Sumesh and the team were totally great making sure our experience was perfect. The hotels, spas, trips recommended were excellent and the service was far better than anything I received anywhere else. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone else planning a trip to South India to use Sanguine Holidays.

We booked a tailored trip for 3 days in the Periyar Park. The organiser (Sumode) really tried to find activities and hotels that were the best according to our style of travelling and prices range. Our driver, Sumesh, could not have been more amazing. He respectfully and proactively helped us solve any problem which we encountered, including the numerous issues due to our own negligence (being late, forgetting things etc). He always accommodated our last minute requests with a smile. Furthermore, Sumesh suggestions for activities, restaurants etc along the road were always very relevant and qualitative, as much as his commentaries on Kerala landscapes. We were entirely satisfied with the trip and very grateful to the organisers. We would 100% recommend it to anyone willing to visit Kerala!

Fantastic 3 night/4 day private trip to Munnar and Alleppey. We were collected by our driver Arun in Cochin and taken to The Amberdale Hotel near Munnar sightseeing on the way, and had a great Kerelan lunch. Chose the honeymoon suite at The Amberdale, which was amazing. Sightseeing the next day and another night at the hotel before travelling to Alleppey and getting on our private houseboat for the day/night. The whole experience was fabulous, but made all the more special due to Arun, not only a good driver but also a superb tour guide, he was so knowledgable and great company. Also need to mention Nimisha, who was our contact whilst arranging and during the trip, we got to meet her, which was lovely, she handled everything superbly. Cannot forget Jomon and crew on the houseboat, who catered for our every need, Will not hesitate to recommend Sanguine and if you’re lucky enough to get Arun you’ll have a fabulous time.

We had an Amazing time from start to finish, with good communication.
Our driver, Mr Achu made the experience as his local knowledge and welcoming approach ensured that our itinerary matched the things we were interested in. He maintained contact throughout and always very courteous and helpful.
The hotel in Munnar was of a high standard, the only thing is that we didn’t really have much time to enjoy all the facilities as we were so busy.
Equally the boathouse overnight stay was a great experience.
Would definitely recommend and would book again 👍

I cannot recommend Sangine Holidays enough to organise your trip to Kerala. Nimisha was so very helpful in tailor making the perfect holiday for us, offering different options and advice. Once in Kerala she was on hand for any questions, and checked in on us to make sure everything was going well for us- which it was! We were lucky to have Schbin as our driver who looked after us so well, he was polite, kind and made sure he gave us the best trip, we also felt very safe with his driving! I was a little nervous booking the trip as being from the UK I had not heard of Sangine Holidays before but I really didn’t need to be. Please don’t hesitate to book with them you will not be disappointed and I do hope I get the chance to book with them again!
