In Uttar Pradesh, travelers can follow in the footsteps of the Gods, dine with royalty, and experience spellbinding musical performances. 

This is the land of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, where travelers can visit sacred sites where it is believed that these Gods walked on earth.

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 local agency was able to translate our idea of ​​travel into activities that met our tastes well. Drivers and guides: punctual and available. The local agency was in constant contact with us via WhatsApp. The flexibility on the planned activities was also good. Excursion to Periyar, during the monsoons - it is better to do it with rubber boots. The idea of ​​not limiting yourself to the north (Rajasthan) and including the south (Kerala) is excellent, you go fast and take internal flights but it is worth it. Recommended houseboat in Kerala and tea plantations in Munnar, all the classics of the north including Amber Fort in Jaipur were good. Good idea of ​​dinner with a family in Jaipur.

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.
