What an amazing experience. In the run up to the tour, communication with Nimisha was excellent and replies to any queries were prompt. The itinerary was flexible to suit our needs. Our driver Sumesh was so helpful, not only with tour information, but he also helped with additional issues such as acquiring SIM cards, places to eat and good local advice. The accommodation in hotels and resorts was of a high standard and the staff at each resort were amazing. The attractions available are are good value for money and you are not committed to visit them all if you are not particularly interested. However , Sumesh has great knowledge and experience with other options available. The tour offers excellent value for money and I would recommend this tour to all. Overall, we had an amazing time and will definitely book this tour again.
Excellent tour booked with Nimisha at Sanguine Holidays - very professional, great driver (Harrison) and best resorts. We loved our Kerala tour from Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Kumarakom, Alleppey, Kovalam and Trivandrum in 8 days and 7 nights. Nimisha checked in with us every day and helped us customize our tour. She was always friendly, courteous, helpful and very responsive to our messages. We would absolutely highly recommend her! Our driver, Harrison, was a very careful driver, always smiling and courteous. He arrived on time and helped us wherever we needed it.
This tour was great - everything from the Tour Operator, the Driver, the accommodation and the customer service. All were extremely helpful, professional and a pleasure to deal with before and during the tour. I FULLY recommend this tour and tour company to other visitors to South Eastern India.
Thank you to Nimisha and her husband, Sumodh who works behind the scene, for the wonderful tour itinerary. We got to see the beautiful lushness of Kerala and experienced some very unique activities (overnight in an exclusive boat house, elephant ride and bath, cultural shows). People here are very kind and helpful. Loved the food. Nimisha is an excellent communicator, very prompt and helpful right from our first contact to the end of the trip. Anil, our guide and driver was exceptional; very courteous, punctual, cheerful and helpful. The long drives between places were always filled with interesting conversations about the vegetations, culture and life in Kerala, great exchange of knowledge and experiences. The only change I would make is our day 1 in Cochin. We arrived at 8:05 am after 20 hrs flight, plus connecting flight time from Canada. We were too tired to do more than just a boat ride and a few sight seeing before calling it a day at 4 pm. The next day we were off to Munnar. Also, if you are doing an elephant bath, pack a change of clothes and towel in a separate bag before you leave the hotel that morning so you can just take and go. That place was very packed so digging into our luggage there wasn’t ideal. Overall, this was a wonderful trip with great memories. I would certainly recommend Sanguine.
We had a great time in Kerala with Sanguine. Family of four (two teenagers) and we went with another family, making us a group of 8. Sanguine were very helpful from the beginning and tailored the trip to our requirements but also provided recommendations about what to do. They also assisted us in paying for pre-booked activities that needed and Indian bank account. We had a dedicated driver (Vijeesh) who was with us from the airport, all the way through, and available to drive us when we needed. We had a week in Kerala, heading straight to the house boat at Allepey, then two nights each in Thekkady, Munnar and Cochin. Absolutely stunning country, fabulous people and amazing food. Hotels used were good and as expected. We went in late October. Still very wet with heavy rains. The rains caused our boat trip at Periyyar to be cancelled. Something to consider when planning. Would use Sanguine again - they had been recommended to us from friends.
Kerala is billed as God’s own country and Sanguine treats guests(Atithi) as heavenly visitors (Devo Bhav). The staff is professional and personable, the service prompt and the experience, priceless! The tour is organized with an excellent balance of cultural, nature and restorative activities. Sanguine also accommodated our request for trip-within-trip at modest additional cost, and modified the itinerary to fit our preferences. Thank You Nimisha(coordinator) and Achu(driver) for your flexibility and diligence as we navigated past airline delays, local election parades and last-minute scheduling conflicts. Great job, grateful guests! 🙏🏽
Dear Ms. Irene, Greetings from Sanguine Holidays Thank you for your wonderful review and kind words. We are truly pleased to know that your experience with Sanguine Holidays lived up to the spirit of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava.’ It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and that we could accommodate your customization requests comfortably. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during the airline delays, local election processions, and last-minute schedule adjustments. Your appreciation for Achu and our coordination efforts is greatly valued. Thank you once again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Kerala in the future.
Nimisha was fantastic in assisting us to book our tour. She suggested excellent hotels at competitive prices and once we arrived she was responsive on WhatsApp assisting us with a change of driver and offering support when we became ill. Nimisha understand the challenges of travelling with children. The only thing I would say that is slightly negative is that Nimisha did not take our ££ cash payment until the last day of our holiday. I would have felt much more relaxed handing the £1000 cash over at the start of the holiday, rather than carrying it from hotel to hotel for 10 days. That said, I wouldn’t hesitate to use Sanguine’s services again. We are already looking to return next year! Rivulet Resort is heaven!
Dear Mam, Greetings from Sanguine Holidays ! Thank you so much for your kind words and helpful feedback! We really glad we could support you throughout your trip, especially during the unexpected moments. We completely understand your concern about the cash payment — thank you for pointing it out, and we will definitely keep that in mind for future guests. So happy to hear you enjoyed the tour and that you're already thinking about coming back — we'd love to help you plan your next trip !
We found Sanguine on here so thanks to all the other reviewers, as they are right - really good trip, we had a fabulous flavour of Kerala and a terrific guide/driver in Yousef. After discussing our wants and needs, Nimisha put together a great set of hotels, and Yousef was always on hand to suggest things we may want to do, and take us there via perfect photo stops and shops. Everything ran smoothly (quite an acheivement in India!) and to time, never rushed, and no nasty surprises. We had a truly memorable holiday. Thanks to all involved.
Our tour was magical taking in all the beautiful sights, staying at excellent hotels along the way. Our great driver, Anil, was a brilliant knowledgeable guide. The whole tour exceeded our expectations. We will certainly recommend to others.
I cannot recommend Sanguine Holidays highly enough. From the outset, the communication was fantastic, and what value for money. We had the 7 night/8 day tour of Kerala, staying in Kochin, Munnar, Thekkaddy and Alleppey before being dropped but our fantastic driver/guide, Mr Lal. He did work hard and nothing was too much trouble. A wonderful experience and taste of India. Special thanks to Nimisha and of course Mr. Lal
