An unforgettable first birthday trip! 5 stars across the board! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​We rec (Read More)ently booked our 7-destination Kerala trip through 7 Destinations, and it was an absolutely flawless experience. From start to finish, everything was managed perfectly. ​A huge, heartfelt thank you to our tour executive, Shini . She was incredibly nice, polite, and attentive. She arranged everything perfectly, booking us into the absolute best properties and ensuring our itinerary ran smoothly. ​A special shoutout to our driver, Shanavas. He was super amazing, very kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the journey. Having a reliable and warm driver made all the difference, especially traveling with a little one. ​This trip was extra special for us as we were celebrating our baby's 1st birthday, and thanks to Shini, Shanavas, and the 7 Destinations team, it turned out to be absolutely amazing. We have created a lifetime of beautiful memories. If you are planning a trip to Kerala, I highly recommend them!

Our honeymoon trip to Kerala with Krish Trip turned out to be one of the most be (Read More)autiful experiences of our life. A big thank you to Neha ji for the perfect planning and smooth arrangements, and special thanks to Lijo for being such a humble, friendly, and supportive guide throughout the journey. From the peaceful backwaters of Alleppey, the greenery of Munnar, the wildlife and adventure of Thekkady, the relaxing vibes of Varkala, to the beautiful sights of Kochi and Trivandrum — every place was perfectly managed and truly unforgettable. We enjoyed elephant rides, Kathakali, Kalaripayattu, nature, culture, and every little moment of this journey. Because of their efforts, our honeymoon became stress-free, comfortable, and full of memories that we will cherish forever. Highly recommended ❤️

In name of luxury, either we have been deceived by giving premium houseboat. Or (Read More) company is being deceived by houseboat people by charging more. Also for a 4 star hotel, we didn't expect a room dedicated for handicapped people.
