“Splendours of South India ”

written by AntonJan on 07/03/2020

We really enjoyed this holiday, (the second extended trip with Citrus), which lived up to all our expectations and in some cases exceeded those. We had commissioned an extension of the 10 Day Splendours of South India holiday as offered by Citrus Travel, building on to it an additional 8 days to include some other sights we wanted to explore. This all worked very well with an excellent choice of hotels, offering a good quality of character, Heritage and interesting locations, with most of them offering very high standards of quality and service.

We were delighted to experience so many different aspects of South India, mountains, rivers, lakes, animal reserves, busy cities, rural villages, temples, markets, palaces etc etc.

What we also appreciated very much was being away from huge tourist locations and hotels and large tour groups. It made us feel more connected to local people and their lives and we received friendly welcomes wherever we went.

The travel arrangements were superbly carried out due in the main to the professionalism, commitment and exemplary service of our Driver, who carried out a much greater role than just driving (which he did excellently), he was attentive to all our needs, comfort and safety at all times, going out of his way to ensure that all our travel and hotel reservations were organised in a timely manner, building in flexibility to accommodate any additional requests or additional local activities of interest. To that end we would also congratulate the back-office team at Citrus Travel for planning, sourcing and organising these facilities and arrangements.
