We entrusted the organization of our trip in Tamil Nadu and Kerala to the agency of Travel XS. They perfectly respected our wishes, the rhythm, the hotels we wanted. In addition, the choice of our driver, who assisted us from the first to the last day was perfect. Very good driver, because the traffic is very particular and intense, very nice, very helpful. Two very different regions, Tamil Nadu more focused on temples, Hinduism and its history, a very smiling, welcoming, and very spontaneous population. Kerala is very green, with its various crops of rice, pineapple, rubber... Catholic fervour, its backwaters, its beaches, but a more restrained population accustomed to tourists. A magnificent trip, and beautiful encounters.

The organization of the agency was very well structured. The choice of hotels, the stops, our drivers of incredible kindness and caution. This trip was exotic, the guides very well selected. We loved Cochin, Madurai, Bandipur, Munnar, Marrari etc. If all the tours are organized in the same way, it makes us want to travel again via Travel XS.

India has always been in my heart for many years, this is the third time I've been back, even if the last one dates back many years ago. This year I entrusted myself to the agency and I wasn't wrong, they packaged the tour well, with some modifications of my own to shorten the hours in the car. Excellent driver (shish pal), guides all in Italian and very competent, hotels - especially those outside Delhi (historical residences), dinner with a family from Rajasthan (really interesting), traditional dance in Udaipur and visit to the monuments.

Our three-week trip with our five-year-old son took us first through the tropical south in Kerala and then along the 'Golden Triangle' in the north, including detours to several national parks. This enabled us to get to know two parts of the country that were very different in terms of culture and landscape and to experience at least some of India's diversity. We will always remember the impressions of the lives of the people and nature. Despite the intense experiences, we were able to relax thanks to the accommodations (oasis of peace) that were well-selected by the travel agent. The conversations with our two drivers and the people in the host families were enriching. We hardly came across any Western families. With a little travel experience, however, even small children are no obstacle to traveling to this exciting country.

Thanks to Travel XS we have had a wonderful trip. A perfect organization both in the preparation and throughout the trip. We were welcomed at the airport and then always taken into account in a secure and punctual way, by the guides and drivers who were very friendly and attentive. They made sure of our safety throughout the visits and pick-ups at the different hotels. The different class hotels were always very good or beautiful, we were never disappointed. The hotel staff always very friendly. The tours, well organized, were very interesting and well accompanied by the guides. We learned a lot about India and its history.
