I booked a 9 day tour of Chikamangalur, Coorg, Kabini, Ooty and Coonoor through Great India Tour Company. Mr Thomas, who coordinated with us, was very knowledgeable and super flexible in drawing up the itinerary to suit our requirements. All arrangements were made properly and the whole trip was hassle free.
Highly recommended.

Great India Tour Company has great tour packages. They had planned our trip to Singapore, we had the best 6 days there and are back with beautiful memories. With very friendly staff, the company does a great job in understanding the client needs and customizing the package. Our itinerary, that they prepared, was apt ensuring that we visit all the right places and in a way that we don't find it too hectic. Thanks to Great India Tour Company we didn't feel helpless at any point of time as they have a great set of staff at Singapore also who were very courteous and helpful. Our trip was planned by Anu Ranjan, and we have to say he did a great job. Overall it was a great experience.

I wrote this earlier in the year but forgot to post.
Last April we booked with the company Great Escapes which is also The Great Indian Tours. Our trip was fully organised by Binu Thomas, a really lovely and helpful lady, who planned all our stays including our collection from and to the airport . We have to say that everything she organised for us worked like clockwork and we had a most wonderful time. We came to see my partners son-in- laws parents and family in Cochin and wanted to take the opportunity of seeing some of Kerula. So Binu put us up in the Taj Gateway for the first 3 nights, organised a fabulous 2 week trip with a/c car and driver and then happily put us back in the Taj, a really classy hotel in room , food and importantly great service from everyone, for the last 4 nights. We loved their complimentary sunset cruise. Our itinerary was varied and really interesting and allowed us to see many sights and we stayed in 7 different places, from Munnar to Kumarakom. We loved Poovar. Our driver for the two week trip, Santosh, could not have been better, the car cleaned and he was spotless every day. He was such a safe driver and very knowledgeable. His advice was sound and he kept us away from tourist traps.We learnt a lot from him and he made sure we didn't get lost and arrived everywhere on time. Everything was meticulously planned, all the hotels very good quality. Binu made us feel very relaxed as we could communicate with her if a problem, Santosh too keeping her regularly updated if we had any concerns, and they both made sure we were well looked after. We would have no problem with booking again with them as we feel they made everything work for us. Just terrific and we would ask for Santosh again.
If we had one suggestion to offer skip the overnight stay on the houseboat unless you are a honeymoon couple.
Go for 3-4 hours on the backwater canals either in the morning or from lunchtime. Its the best part and really interesting to see how people live their lives there.
The overnight stay on the boat is a bit boring and pointless because you sail straight across the middle of the lake, have lunch, then return via lake and some backwater canals to the same place you started from, to sleep and have dinner, at around 5pm. At least ours did.
Even though we were unlucky with our houseboat on another issue, which was beyond Great Escapes ability to resolve at the time, they could not do enough to try to put it right. Although time couldn't let us accept their kind and not asked for offers they were very sad at our experience. That's what makes them such a good company. Great experiences and unforgettable memories, thanks to them.
