Best of Tamil Nadu and Kerala
Best of Tamil Nadu and Kerala We really loved India and very much enjoyed the itinerary that Sanjay from Bespoke India Travel had prepared for us. The trip was well planned and we were looked after at every step. The hotels in the CHG group and the Blanket Days hotel were all excellent with regard to the service, comfort, food, location, facilities and range of activities provided. The staff in all of the hotels were thoughtful, and caring and gave outstanding service. My wife sustained an injury to her leg a few days before the start of our holiday and every hotel arranged for the use of a wheelchair and supported her to ensure that she could do as much as possible. Our driver, Viswan, was exceptional in every way; kind, caring, courteous, thoughtful and efficient.. He contacted the local guides in advance to advise them of my wife’s limited mobility and made arrangements to park as close as possible to the entrance of the places we visited and even got the authorities to open a road that had been closed because of the Pongal festival so that he could drop us as close as possible to the entrance of the Tanjore temples. Viswan always waited with us until the local guide picked us up and was there to collect us at the end of our visit. He pointed out things of interest on our journeys. The car was always spotlessly clean and well stocked with water, tissues, hand sanitiser and snacks. All the local guides were excellent, especially the two guides we had at Pondicherry and Kavitha at Chettinad. We remained well tor the entire trip due to care being taken over the choice of restaurants for lunch and only stopping at venues that could accommodate our delicate European constitutions! The agents from Dravidian trails who met us at ChennI - Mani, when we arrived from London and Michael Peter (I hope that I have remembered his name correctly) at the end of our trip were also both excellent. Michael Peter even came to the airport at Chennai at 4am to ensure that the assistance that he had booked for us for our flight home was in place. We enjoyed every moment of our trip and have no hesitation in recommending Bespoke India Travel and hope to book with them again ourselves.
