Awesome day - My daughter and I had a fantastic time on this day trip with James (the tour guide) and Adharsh (the driver). We were picked up on time in a lovely clean car. We had numerous breaks along the way with James and Adharsh explaining many points of interest. We both enjoyed going to the palace and to Kanyakumari beach. Highly recommend

Good experience! - The tour guide and driver are all great! We went to the wood palace and the southwest side of India! The boat to the memorial hall on the rock is really worth it! My tour guide explains me a lot of historical stories which makes the trip more fun and knowledgeable. Thanks for the guide today! I really enjoyed a lot.

Lovely trip to Kanyakumari - We planned our trip to Kanyakumari in last minute and Adharsh was very helpful in providing the details. Also he was flexible with the timings as well. His father, James sir, was our guide for this trip and he explained the itinerary before starting the trip. However, he was also flexible with the schedule, and consulted with us before committing to a plan. He is an experienced person and we enjoyed talking with him discussing various topics such as culture, language, food, etc. The boat ride to the Vivekananda rock and the time we spent there was worth it.

Great Tour - I went with Adharsh as a solo traveller first time in India, he was great. Organised all the tickets and helped with understanding customs I was unfamiliar with and made sure I was always looked after. Also Adharsh has good English made it easy to have a laugh through the day

All in all it was fun to know history behind Kanyakumari, Thiruvallur and Vivekananda Rock memorial - Trip to Kanyakumari was enjoyable though it was a hot day. Vivekananda Rock memorial story is impressive. It is exhilarating to be at the land's end and see Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal merge into Indian Ocean !
