#Kerala back water trip 8/3/18 to 11/3/18#

The stay in the hotel Blue Waters was very comfortable. Good food& courteous staff. Itinerary was good. Enjoyed sight seeing.

But did not have a very good experience in the house boat. Moreover, the cake provided by you was not worth the money you charged us. Bath towels were not provided, only face towels were provided. Food was average. Timings regarding food, snacks& tea were not followed. Heat& mosquitoes dampened our enjoyment. AC was not working. TV also was not working. Cruise of One hour which was promised on 11/3/18 was only for half an hour.

Cab driver was a punctual, friendly& cheerful person.

Heaps of gratitude towards mrs nimisha sumode. who was the tour advisor and planner and made various arrangements for my memorable trip to kerela.

Mrs Nimisha not only designed a tailormade package for us, but also steered the entire tour even when there were crisis situations like train delay and political strikes in kerala. she personally ensured that we get full worth of money spent.

Accommodations were superb and up to the mark and the driver was intelligent and well mannered. july is a beautiful time to visit kerala as it is early monsoon. our tour was kick started with Athirapally falls which again was nimisha's suggestion which proved to be memorable. even at times driver Shihab Bhai himself improvised some part of itinerary but it proved beneficial when we later analyzed. for eg: driver preferred to take us to allepey beach instead of kochi beach, which was far cleaner and less crowded.

The houseboat experience in Allepey is a unique and once in a lifetime one. the cook there was b.com in hotel management, which shows tht kerala localites are well educated yet they adhere to their roots and they have deep love and respect for the same. everyone whom we met, and everywhere we went, were praiseworthy.

A tip for visitors: trust the tour planner and his/her staff, treat the staff nicely, and in kerala they do their best to prove that you are in God's own country.

I would like to thanks Nimisha and Sumode for their excellent efforts in managing our tour successfully without any issues.

Based on my experience, I was little scared about booking through local agent but Nimisha and Sumode both have changed my perceptions.

Hotels given to me was very good than expected. Always helped me in every step during the tour including finding the locations. Nimisha was the first operator who has challenged my plan and given correct itinerary which worked very well.

Can't forgot to Mr. Deepak and Mr. Shaji who were our "Sarthi"(Driver). Thanks to both of them.Once again I did enjoyed the overall holidays. Will recommend their services to anyone.

Can’t find words to thank  both Nimisha & Sumode to make our trip to God's Own Country so fascinating and memorable. We were lucky to have them as our Representative and they were excellent in planning our entire trip to South India.

Though Mr. Mukesh, (our neighbor in Canada who used their service earlier) recommended Sanguine, we never expected to get such a personalized service and they both took care of us like their own family members.  As the travel expense from North America to South of India is quite high, we have had lots of expectations about our most awaited vacation but with no doubt we ascertain that they exceeded our expectations with their service, recommendations, and planning.  The hotels chosen were better than we expected. Mr.Gireesh was a safe, careful and attentive driver. He helped us a lot to find good vegetarian restaurants while traveling one place to other.

Once again thanks to Sanguine Holidays for such wonderful and memorable days which will always bloom and will never fade in our life. We will definitely recommend Sanguine Holidays to our friends and families travelling to Kerala. It’s indeed truly God's Own Country with wonderful people!

We know this is very late for us to write a review, but better late than never.

We were very apprehensive at first, arranging a tour through the internet specially when we have high expectations after the past tour by Makemytrip to Kashmir. My wife went through a lot of tour operators and nearly finalized some but always when we were close to finalize we came across the reviews. Frankly not many tour operators have positive reviews on the internet.

Finally we came across Sanguine Holidays, All the reviews were positive and Mr. Sumode helped us a lot taking us through the booking process. Not only did he try to get us to visit Kerala the best way possible, but also tried to keep it well in our budget, while not compromising on the experience. Sumode helped us in booking our flights too, as they did not have it in their policy to book the same he tried his best to keep us updated about any drop in flight fares. Since we were travelling in October which is considered a peek season time, he also suggested and requested us to reschedule the same 2-4 days in advance to save some.

Once we reached Kerala we met Mr. Zenhar(Driver) who was very welcoming and gentle.We were greeted well. Even though he did not know any one particular language to communicate with us, he did his best to get his point across. He also helped us in shooting a lot of pics. We suggest Zenhar as Driver/Guide if you are travelling to Kerala with Sanguine.

The tour itself was well planned. Sumode had somehow managed to book us good 3 Star Hotels and all of them were totally worth. The Sight seeing carried out by Zenhar was outstanding. He was very punctual to start in the morning and tried to cover up as much as possible within the schedule.

The Whole trip 7N/8D have become a memory never to forget. Sanguine and Sumode have done a mind blowing work in introducing "Gods own country" to the world. We thank Sumode  for helping us relax out of our busy schedule while travelling across the scenic beauty.

Now my wife wishes revisiting Kerala while earlier she was wishing to revisit Kashmir.

We would suggest anyone who is planning to visit Kerala to choose Sanguine Holidays for an unforgettable trip.

Regards

Sanjay & Sushama Kotyan

Thank you for Excellent Service from Mr. Sumode & Team. It was really unforgettable time spent in Kerala, where we stayed for a 7N/8D. We had enjoyed all 3 seasons in Kerala Winner at Misty Mountain of Munnar, Thekkady, Memorable House Boat stay on Valentine day and on the way to Kovalam beaches we got feel of monsoon and the end Trivandrum and Kanyakumari hot summer.

We enjoyed all decent hospitality by Mr. Sumode and team all promises were delivered with superior quality. I made my Honeymoon trip to Kerala and booked it through Sanguine holidays which is suggested by my friend. I was a bit sceptical on how this experience would be but I was amazed to see all promises were delivered with superior quality.

Dealing with Mr. Sumode while booking the trip I was told that quality will not be compromised and that was indeed true. Right from when we landed in Cochin till our departure to Trivandrum Mr. Sumode was in touch with us and I really want to thank our driver Mr. Joseph who took utmost care of us like an elder Brother.

Also, I like to add during this my wife forgot her wristwatch and I had informed Mr. Sumode about this incident at the same time he discuss with house boat owner and confirmed me that “your watch is in safe hand you don’t worry enjoy about this and enjoy honeymoon I will try to delivered to your doorstep. Once you come to Mumbai”. and Mr. Sumode had accomplish his promise.

We are planning to visit Kerala again with our family members later. From our experience we found it is a reliable travel company in Kerala. Moreover, I’d like to thanks Mr.Sumode for arranging such memorable Honeymoon trip to Kerala. Miss you Kerala. :-)

We just reached home after a lifetime memorable honeymoon arranged by Sanguine travels at Kerala.

When we reached airport our driver Siby was there with a name board in my name. He was an excellent person with good knowledge about the places and a very good driver cum guide.

Our first stay was at Athirapally, Ayusoukyam hotel which is a small hotel but the location is excellent. Then we went to Munnar, Cherai beach and houseboat. All hotels were good in terms of service, food and location.

We spent around 30000 for a couple for 7 days tour including vehicle (AC Indigo) and it was really worth for the money we spent. We are planing to visit Kerala again with our family members later. From our experience we found it is a reliable travel company in Kerala.

We must say,  our recent vacation at Kerala was  arranged by Sanguine Holidays and it was  one of the most enjoyable holiday ever I did. It was a 7 days tour and  we visited Munnar, Thekkady, night stay at Kumarakom boat house and Kovalam.

All the hotels were excellent. the main attraction was houseboat cruise, food was very tasty and staff also very friendly and helpful.

Our driver Anish was a good person, he helped us a lot in finding good restaurants and shops.  he had thorough knowledge about the places and explained the things to us in detail.

I would certainly like to recommend Sanguine Holidays  to my colleges & relatives to fulfill their journey plans in Kerala. A big thanks to Sumode for arranging the wonderful holiday for us..

I am a latest victim of that tour operator. Sanguine Holidays. My Honeymoon tour is 7D/6N of Kerala, which was ruined by  Sanguine Holidays. My tour start with good pace.

Good hotel n good facility at Day1 ..but it degrade with day by day ....at my last day my hotel gives only one towel for couple, complimentary dinner with limit.

My house boat (INDRAPRASTHA HOUSEBOAT) give me another shock at 1:30am, when someone tried to open my roadside window, no proper light at dining hall....as well as there is a hole beneath of AC display....So houseboat is too vulnerable.

Overall My Experience with Sanguine Holidays is not good ...so please not go with Sanguine Holidays....May be they charge less from other, but you have to bear huge pain during your tour.

Sanguine Holidays proved to be a great tour providers, yet again. They were referred to me by a very satisfied friend and yes, they came up to the expectations. Very economic and great service. The driver was courteous and helpful, provided full guidance.

The vehicle provided was also alright. Hotel bookings and room choices were also apt. Blue Waters in Cherai and Misty Mountain in Munnar were the best part. Sumode and Minisha are a hard working couple and they customize the trip to suit your requirements. I have not seen any other operator having such an eye to detail. Full Marks guys, well done and thank you!!

We decided to visit kerala in the last week of May & after a lot of research we ended up with Sangunine Holidays.. It was a 6D/5N holiday covering Cherai Beach-Kumarakom-Thekkady & Munnar. Nimisha was very cooperative & helpful in the whole process.Our trip was very well organised & comfortable. Moreover, we had the best time of our lives!

Day 1- We arrived at Cochin & drive to Cherai Beach. Although the weather was hot & humid but the beauty of Kerala let u forgot all d things. Stay at Blue Waters Cherai was memorable..Earlier I was skeptikal abut the hotel but the Rooms & Service was really good.

Day 2- 2 Hrs Drive to Kumarakom. We had a 1N Houseboat Stay. The journey through the canals was an amazing experience but I expected much from houseboat..

Day 3- Drive to Thekkady. Stay at Hotel TreeTop was Excellent & their Food was best among all the places..

We enjoyed the spice plantation tours , Kahthakali dance and the Kalari Martial arts show (both at Mudra) . Also, visited the Periyar wildlife sanctuary. Lake Peryiar is very scenic place.

Day 4-5 - Munnar- This was the best experience. Hotel Blackberry Resort was toooo Gud..It is far from city but the location is superlike. Valleys and Valleys of tea plantations. Steep winding road up the mountain covered with clouds, greenery everywhere quiet mesmerizing. Can’t be described in words.

Lastly a A big Thank U from all of us to Sanguine & Nimisha for the wonderful family memories that will stay in our heart forever. I would definitely recommend shangunine to all my friends & relatives

Thank U & Best Luck for the Future

I recently made a trip to Kerala last week and booked it through Sanguine holidays. I was a bit skeptical on how this experience would be but I was amazed to see all promises were delivered with superior quality. Dealing with Mr. Sumode while booking the trip I was told that quality will not be compromised and that was indeed true.

Right from when we landed in Trivandrum till our departure Mr. Sumode was in touch with us and I really want to thank our driver Mr. Aneesh who took utmost care of us like a family. He ensured that needs of my family were met and he was really helpful day or night whenever we needed him. He not only ensured that we covered all the scenic spots mentioned in our itinerary but  also helped us explore other spots in Kerala throughout our trip. If it wasn't Aneesh we wouldn't have enjoyed as much as we did.

Moreover, I'd like to thank Mr.Sumode for arranging traditional attire for us in Munnar as it was a last minute idea of my wife and Sumode helped us make it a memorable experience.

We(my wife and two kids) just finished our wonderful trip to "the God's Own Country".(had been there from 9th April 2011 to 16th April, 2011). Thanks to Sumode/Nimisha for making this a memorable one for lifetime:)

I always used to wonder - why people choose packages - instead why they don't go directly and check out hotels themselves after reaching the place. I had done it couple of times - while my earlier visits to other places like Goa etc.But after hearing some great reviews from my brother about Sanguine Holidays  - who went on Kerala Honeymoon Trip last year, I decided to try a packaged tour and from same agency.

With their help - we finalized on 7 nights/8 days trip covering Cherai Beach/Athirapally Waterfalls/Munnar/Vagamon/Kumarakom/Cochin. The itinerary covered all Vising places/Hotel details/type of room/Vehicle type during tour - and what does charges cover/what it doesn't. I discussed it with my friends from Kerala - and they all felt it is very economical and worth it.

After paying initial token advance - I got a confirmation that Hotels have been booked as mentioned to me(the very next day – even I called up all Hotel desks and re-confirmed the same!).

And then the trip date came.we traveled to Cochin and saw the commitments from them getting fulfilled one by one. We were received by Mr Sumode and the driver - Mr Rebi - of the Indigo we used from pick till drop back at Cochin. Mr Rebi is a excellent person/guide and him knowing Hindi helped us a lot throughout the trip – he was also quite aware of what food to try where. The Vehicle was also in well-maintained condition and gave no issues throughout the trip.

I feel they have done quite a good research on what is best Hotel for that price at each location and include only them in their package - which saved us a lot of time which otherwise we would have spend hunting for Hotel. We were given free upgrades in some hotels – which brought us more smileys. Our requests to visit market places for shopping/halting at locations – which were not part of itinerary were also taken care nicely by Mr Rebi.

Most memorable parts of trip included(but not limited to) stay on houseboat/ride on speed boat/time spent in waterfalls/beaches.After we were dropped back at Cochin bus stand - we got some time to discuss/refresh the experience and we were just wishing this trip never ended…

Overall a fantastic and memorable trip to God's Own Country and thanks to Sanguine Holidays - who arranged it.
