    Nimisha at Sanguine booked us one of our most memorable family vacations. Certainly, the accommodations, and the opportunities to tour and take in activities like cultural events, ayurvedic massages, and wildlife tours all made the trip one of a kind. The entire trip was planned/scheduled and conducted over email/WhatsApp and Nimisha is the one who made a big difference in quickly understanding what we needed and ensuring that we got more than the worth in cost. Kerala is a beautiful place, but Nimisha and Sanguine made it unforgettable! We are already planning our next vacation with them! Great value for money but also attention to detail and flexibility in understanding and planning is what you get with Nimisha and Sanguine.

    We got a good condition Maruti Ertiga which is very important. Our driver Mr. Eby was a good person and talked about the basics of each location we visited. Apart from the spice garden, old church and tea factory visit, we saw rubber and tea plantations on our way. We were also able to spot some wild elephants on our way back which was the highlight of our tour. However, a single day journey to Munnar from Kochi and back can be exhausting for elderly due to long driving hours. And it's only recommended for people who want to see things quickly like us.

    The backwaters of Kerala are a must see ofcourse. The serenity of nature is the biggest plus. James was good tour guide. The coir rope making and thatched roof demos were a good touch. The meal afterwards was very enjoyable.

    Beautiful river sites on this tour. Waterfalls, a suspension bridge, and more!

    Pros:
    - A nice day trip to see some of the natural beauty of the area.
    - Nice views at the top and bottom of the Athirappilly falls. enjoy the mist from the falls from the bottom.
    - Lots of monkeys at the Athirappilly falls. But beware, they are greedy and try to steal any food you have, whether an ice cream from your hand or foods from a tote bag.
    - A pleasant stop at a suspension bridge over the river. Beautiful views, places to relax on both sides of the river, and a nice break from the car ride.
    - Vazhachal falls and a third (if water is flowing) are nice as well, even if visible only from an observation area.
    - Very good lunch in a nice resort restaurant.
    - The guide/driver took us via the forest, offering a chance to see wild elephants. (Although we didn't spot any, just some evidence they were there!)
    - The fact the tour was all-inclusive (except for tips) was great!

    Cons:
    - It's a long car ride to and from, over mostly rough roads.
    - To access Athirappilly falls, it's a moderate hike. The hike down to the base (and back up) is more challenging, so just be aware that moderate athletic ability is needed to see the falls!
    - Despite signs warning of fines, lots of people throwing trash on the ground especially at the falls. You'd think the park management would take a lounging staff member at the front gate and assign them to scold litterers.

    Summary: A nice trip outside the city. Be sure to stop as often as possible to see as much as possible. It breaks up the trip and makes the car time more rewarding!

    Kumbalangi village is surrounded by backwaters and the village is particularly famous for its eco-tourism activities such as Coir Making, Crab Farming, Fishing, Chinese Nets and many more. This village is blessed with many natural wonders and the people who visits are treated very well by the locals , there are few home stay options too in the village.

    What a great experience! Floating down the river was so relaxing. We sat at the front of the boat and felt like VIPs as we watched the scenery go by while our fantastic crew attended to our every need. The meals on board were excellent. Our bedroom was cool at night. They stopped at Champakulam, a small town on the river,where we could shop for the usual tourist items. But the real attraction of that town was the St Mary's Basilica just beyond the tourist shops. Founded in the 400's, it's gorgeous inside, with painted walls and ceiling. Overall we had a wonderful time and felt like we really got to see Kerala
    We had one traumatic thing happen at the end of our trip. After we got off the houseboat, we had to take a water taxi to get to the dock where the cars were parked. Our luggage was on top of the taxi along with the garbage from our trip. At some point, the garbage bag flew off the taxi and into the river. We can only hope it was an accident.

    Our driver Abhi is an excellent driver, very courteous and accommodating. Wherever we wanted to adjust the itinerary (within reason), he was kind to help. He is a local with roots in Kochi and very competent on the road to and back.

    He is also a great photographer - so please ask him for help with photography and framing. We came back with more than tea and spices - we made great memories.

    We had an amazing Kerala trip with Iris holidays. Trip was meticulously planned and executed. Loved our stay in Munnar Blanket hotel and Allepey house boat stay. Our driver Sajju knew the terrain well and took us to the requested tourist spots.

    Our day trip cruise from Kumarakom to Alleppey was a truly enchanting experience. The houseboat itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, offering both indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy the views. The journey through the backwaters was breathtaking. The lush greenery, tranquil waters, and traditional Kerala village scenes provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
    The onboard meal was a highlight—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared.

    If you're looking for a serene and picturesque way to explore Kerala’s backwaters, this cruise is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable day on the water.

    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.
