Overall experience was good. They help a lot in making the itinerary and other (Read More)arrangements and invest lot of time that required to us for finalising it.
The policy of taking 100% payment upfront before the trip is a bit difficult to (Read More)accept, especially for first-time customers. While I understand you need to make bookings in advance, it’s hard to build complete trust without any prior experience. In my case, even suggesting 80% upfront and 20% on the first day for 6 days trip was not acceptable, which felt rigid — especially when everything is digital these days. Also, a big part of the travel experience depends on the driver. Unfortunately, I did not have that much good experience with the driver assigned, which also impacted the overall enjoyment.

Driver is too good. 7C Destinations' team has arranged Jain Food for us everywhe (Read More)re in advance. Hotel is upgraded by the team for us in thekkady is really very thankful from us.
Hotel at Alleppey and at Ernakulam committed places are not visited so we have t (Read More)o spend 3 to 4 hours on railway station. At Thekkady we can't visit Periyar National Park due to red alert of water level but we don't given any another option there. So only plan given once in the day but communication gap found with us during itinerary by team.

I liked the way in which the authority, Mr. Hitesh Khandelwal and Ms. Mansi took (Read More) proactive and reactive appropriate steps during planning and exigencies.
I can't write anything because whenever such situations had come, it was sorted (Read More)out specifically by Mr. Hitesh. Availability of Hitesh and Mansi were felt 24 X 7

I recently traveled to Kerala with 7C Destinations and had a mostly pleasant exp (Read More)erience. The itinerary covered some of the best locations like Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, and Varkala, and the hotels arranged in each place were comfortable and well-located. Our driver was a true highlight – very cooperative and friendly, which made our journey smooth and enjoyable.
However, the food on the Alleppey houseboat was a major letdown, especially for (Read More)vegetarians. It was quite disappointing and definitely needs improvement for future guests with dietary preferences. Overall, a well-organized trip with a few areas for improvement. Thank you, 7C Destinations, for a memorable Kerala tour!
