I was on Kerala trip with family for 5days/4nights. When asked, Soumya (she is the first point of contact for me) took time to explain the prices for various dates range and other questions I had. Turn around time was faster compared to other services. Proactively she asked me when I am arriving/leaving and accordingly she arranged pickup/dropoff. Then comes Ragin (our travel guide). He was on time when we landed in Kochi airport to pick us up. He was suggesting what all things we could do along the way apart from what is mentioned in the package. His driving skills are exceptional for Indian roads :) He treated us with at most respect and knew his boundaries and gave us space when needed. He was ready to drop us off at the airport early in the morning at 5 with the same enthusiasm as the first day we met him. Thanks Ragin for all your effort. We didn't face any issues with hotels wither in any places. We stayed in Cuckmere hotel in Munnar. Rooms here have nice views. The staff at this hotel were so nice and helping us along the way. The chef went out of his way to help me with throat infection. I was amazed with their attitude towards us.And last but not least, the boat house experience is amazing. They prepared food on the boat itself. It is better than food we get outside. The only downside is that we didn't have hot water in the boat. Little heads up would have been nice about that.Thanks ttp for making our vacation wonderful. Hope to see you in future again.

We were in touch with Ms Soumya who gave us the package. She gave us an excellent package at a reasonable price.Also, she had been very prompt with her response, and really professional.

Mr Suresh was our driver and the travel guide. The car was very clean. Despite the covid pandemic, all the precautionary measures were taken from the start at the airport till the end of the trip.We highly recommend him as he has great deal of knowledge about the city. During our trip, he told us history of the places. He also took us to some of the great hidden treasures in Munnar, which most of the tourists might not even know.

In all, we are highly satisfied with the service of The Travel Planners and would like to recommend them.

Great job guys...
Keep it up...

I wanted to plan a trip to Kerala's hill stations Munnar, Thekkady and Vagamon on the hot summer month of May. I sent the travel planners a choice of my list of hotels to stay on and the they sent me a quote for the customised tour package. Sowmya from travel planners was in touch with us regarding the preparation of the travel itenary and she was courteous and helpful in clearing my doubts. Upon arrival at the Cochin Airport, I was greeted by the driver and we went straight to the Cochin office of the travel planners and got the hotel vouchers from there, the tour started. I was impressed by the vehicle and the the upkeep of it. I specifically asked for Tamil/English speaking driver since I dont know Malayalam and they promptly obliged for the same. The driver SAKTHI was friendly, knowledgeable about the places we visited and suggested good places to have vegetarian food. He drove at a moderate speed at all times and was concious about it. The travel went as planned on all the days and we had an memorable experience. I would recommend travel planners to my friends and family without any hesitation and I am pretty sure they would continue to make travel experience memorable in the days to come for many more people.

The Travel Planners did a brilliant job of arranging the perfect itinerary for the time we had in Kerala. Everything was very well organised and the hotels were great. Our driver Sumesh was safe, knowledgeable, accommodating and always on time. We would happily use them again to organise our next trip!

We had planned a 9 days Kerala trip in the month of April and The Travel Planners helped up with a very comfortable tempo traveller. The bus was in a very good condition, had seatbelts, enough storage on the top as well as behind the seats and a good functioning AC. Our trip was made all the more comfortable and fun by our chatty driver cum guide, Mr Nandu! This ever enthusiastic fellow ensured that we saw the most important places at each of our destination, reached on time and had good experience everywhere. He suggested the right hotels for lunch, stopped for tea/coffee whenever possible and guided us at every juncture of our trip. Thank you so much for a memorable trip Nandu! We would highly recommend The Travel Planners for your trip anywhere in South India.

Kerala trip is one of the best trip we had in India. Mr. Dhanish made it very easy to select tour itinerary and book hotels as per our requirements. He was very responsive when we had queries. Our trip was customized as per our timeline. We liked having options to select hotels and vehicles types. The payment process also was easy for international travelers.
The driver Mr. Subin was very safe, courteous and very informative about local history. Mr. Subin always told us how much travel time is needed.
It is good idea to carry plastic shoe covers since some places required us to take shoes off. We wore the plastic covers on the socks.
The 5 star hotel selections were excellent. The hotels had free activities such sunset boat rides and bird watching. On the houseboat the chef cooked the fresh fish that we bought when boat stopped at local fish market.

This was our first time using Travel Planners and I would recommend then to anyone looking at tours of the Kerala region. Our guide/driver was Subin who was superb from start to finish. Nothing was too much bother for him and he kept us amused on some of the longer journeys between sites. If you are planning a trip I would suggest at least 2 nights in Thekkady (we stayed at Spice Village which was amazing). Be prepared for long journeys but that is where Subin comes in as he was so informative about villages, plants etc to keep us going during the trips. Well done to all the team at Travel Planners for making our holiday so special

Thank you Arun for helping us plan our trip and making sure it suited our needs - thank you Sumesh and Shibu (our fantastic drivers) for the way they looked after us and responded with flexibility to our requests.
We were a family of 4 adults (our 2 sons were with us) looking to celebrate mum's birthday in 'god's own country'. We had great hotels with excellent service, fantastic local food, enjoyed the stunning scenery and exposure to local culture.
I can wholeheartedly endorse TTP and recommend that tourists contact them directly through their website rather than going through an agent in Europe - you then get the personal touch that can make a big difference to the success of your trip,

I would highly recommend an individual to choose "travel planners" as an option to plan ones itinerary for a Kerala trip. They have well experienced drivers and collaboration with good hotels and on top of all those things they customize the trip as per our requirement. I would personally thank Mr.Arun who is the itinerary planner for my trip and also would like to specially thank our driver Mr.Vishnu for his Professionalism, for his driving skills and for his obedience
