Great planning at reasonable rate the vehicle and driver extremely helpful. Good booking of best resorts.

I contacted Sanguine tours in the hope of arranging a trip at very short notice. The lovely and efficient Namishia replied immediately and within a short time had sorted out an itinerary for us at a reasonable price. Two days later we were on our way with Sumesh who was not only an excellent driver, but a genuinely nice guy who didn’t seem at all phased by our tendency to tweak the plan and ask random questions about life in India. The houseboat was very pretty and traditional and the staff looked after us well, we had a lovely relaxed day cruising the Kerala backwaters. Accommodation in Thekkady and Munnar was of a high standard and we got to see all the local attractions, visit the parks, enjoy the scenery and even saw a couple of elephants (thank you Sumesh, we know how lucky we were)! Namishia kept in touch to ensure everything was going well and even booked our park tickets for Periyar as my credit card would not work on the official park website. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip - it has enough structure that we didn’t have to organise anything for ourselves, but was flexible enough that we felt free to make it suit ourselves. Would definitely recommend this company for your travels. The only downside is that they don’t operate outside of Kerala, otherwise we would’ve had them sort out the rest of our trip for us ;-)

We really loved the holiday package booked through Sanguine Holidays. They were very prompt and accommodating. Our driver Jaison is also a nice person and he made our tour more enjoyable. The Hotels they selected were Tall Trees in Munnar and Greenwoods in Thekkady. Both resorts offered a comfortable and cozy ambiance. The staff was courteous and always ready to assist. Our stay on the AC Houseboat was a unique and memorable experience. The food was very tasty and the staff was very cooperative. Overall the experience was very nice and we both enjoyed the tour well. We would love to come again to Kerala through Sanguine Holidays I would give 10 stars if its possiable...

Holiday and trip was well planned with so many things to do. Really enjoyed the mountainside in Munnar and seeing how people in Kerala/Tamil Nadu lived their day to day life.

From Malaysia.. Just came back from Kerala. Indeed God's Own Country. Had an amazing trip to Cochin, Munnar, Guruvayoor, Trivandrum and Allepey, arranged by Sanguine Holidays. Good accommodation, tasty food, reliable and trustworthy driver/guide. Mr Vijeesh made sure we were safe and Nimisha from Sanguine attended to all our needs. What more can u ask for. We truly enjoyed throughout our 11days 10nights stay. Such beautiful and memorable holiday. Big thank you to Nimisha. We will surely come back to Kerala.

Our visit to India will stay with us forever, we were honestly blown away by this whole experience!!! It is quite simply stunning! We had an amazing stay in Kerala and I don’t think it would have been anywhere near as good had we not have booked with Sanguine. Nimisha was brilliant when booking all of the accommodation, putting the itinerary together and getting everything sorted out, we must have gone forwards and backwards 20 plus times trying to organise everything and make it as perfect as we could. We had a few things/experiences that we’d booked and wanted to fit in. Sumesh met us from the airport and was with us the whole time (obvs different rooms etc Hah) until we were chauffeured back to the airport. I’ll go into a bit more detail below, I might hit the max amount of words as I try to explain just how amazing our stay was, I think that if I wrote 10 pages of info it would still be less than the attention to detail throughout the whole of our 6/7 days (extra day as we'd pre-booked our flights previously) so here goes! Day 1 – we arrived in really early and were picked up from Kotchi airport and driven to first hotel, it was about 4 hours and we chatted to Sumesh on the way there. We passed and stopped at a few waterfalls, we climbed up and up amongst some of the most beautiful scenery that I have ever seen. We climbed to over 2000m above sea level and were dropped at the Amberdale hotel which had been booked for us. It was stunning, I think one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It’s nettled at the top of a mountain and looks out over tea plantations and more rolling mountains than you can imagine. The hotel was superb and the view changes throughout the day. Namisha had also planned a surprise cake for us (it was our 10 year anniversary) which was delivered by room service after we’d finished our room service dinner. Day 2, we were up and out and met by Sumesh at the previously organized time. We went to the Erivakulum national park, hiked for a bit and saw endangered Tahr. After this we went to a tea plantation which was brilliant, we learnt about the history of the plantation and the leaf harvesting. We stopped for lunch at a lovely place and after this drove to a dam and then echo point – both lovely. On the way loads of cars were pulled over so we stopped and saw actual real life Elephants in the wild just mooching about and eating grass – Speechless!!! Early evening we stopped at a theatre (Sumesh went and picked us some amazing seats) where we saw a traditional Keralan dance (40 mins) followed by a great martial arts display (about an hour) and then went back to the hotel for a cooking tutorial, dinner in the restaurant and chill out by the firepit on the roof! We went to sleep exhausted but it was thoroughly worthwhile.. Day 3, up and chucked cases in the car and off we went to Thekkady (forest area) stopped at temples on the way through, drank coconut juice straight from coconuts at the side of the road and went to a spice plantation where they showed us all of the fruit and spices that are grown there and how they’re sued – there are tons. After this we went to elephant junction which was also incredible, we rode Elephants, washed and showered them and fed them fruits. We booked an evening hike at the Periyar wildlife reserve and dropped everything at the hotel and got changed. Our hotel (Amaana Resort) was stunning, it only has 9 units and you can even catch your own fish from the lake outside which they’ll cook for you that night!!! I saw a YouTube video that made me unsure of this as the units just looked OK but the hotel was stunning and much better than I’d seen. Namisha booked the room that was detached, had a 4 poster bed and shower where the waste water falls through the wooden floor boards, the bath looks right out onto the lake infront also. The Periyar night hike was great, they explained about patrolling in the evening and we saw tons of deer, amazing fireflys and a herd of 5 wild elephants also (our trip does mention elephants a bit I know) with a baby also!!! Back to the hotel for dinner and sleep. Day 4, up and out and back to the Periyar reserve for another hike, 5 hours and a bamboo raft and river trip. We saw huge buffalo and learnt more about the work they do there. Back to the hotel, we were knackered, quick snooze then a bit of fishing where we caught some tiddlers… Dinner and sleep, Day 5, walk around the hotel grounds and we looked at the watch tower they have, breakfast and out we went again heading for Alleppy. We passed more waterfalls, pineapple groves and rubber plantations on the way to the boat. Quite a bit of a drive and got the boat just before lunch. The boat we stayed on was a bit tired in places but very, very clean and I think we may have been spoilt with the previous hotels we’d been in. We had our own private boat, so not sharing with anyone else and 2 staff on the boat with us, the captain and the chef. The chef cooked up some lovely food whilst we went out for lunch (I think Alleppy is like the Indian Norfolk broads, very relaxing). We stopped off and had a little boat ride around some of the smaller parts of the waterways that the big boat couldn’t get to. We also went to a fish market and bought crab (alive and snapping) and the biggest tiger prawns I’d ever seen. The chef then prepared them for us and we had dinner after we’d moored up at the same place we started just after sunset. We went for a walk, grabbed some snacks and then chilled out and watched a film that evening before heading to bed. Day 6 – Up early and out by 7.30 and had breakfast whilst on the way back in, we both have a go at driving the boat for a bit (with varying successes)! We added another day on as we weren’t flying back until the next day. Namisha arranged a day of stuff, we went to the Folklore museum – it’s a huge private collection where you could even buy some of the antiques and bits they have which is very cool! We checked in at the Fragrant Nature hotel – weird name and the website didn’t do it justice. We trusted in Namisha after the other hotels but when we walked in we could see why she’d booked it for us. Another brilliant hotel, walking into a 5 floor entrance atrium, she booked us a port facing room and and it had an amazing pool on the roof! We had a quick dip then got taken out sightseeing again, saw the history of the Jewish quarter (interesting) and Dutch house (not quite as good as the folklore museum place) asked to be dropped off close to the main square and had a little walk back through the streets for an hour or so. We watched the sunset in the pool drinking mocktails! We had room service and went to bed. Day 7 – we had to stop on the way to buy another small suitcase to move stuff around so that we could get under Indigo’s baggage rules with our new purchases, we were dropped at the airport in plenty of time for our flight back to Delhi. Anything that we wanted Sumesh always said no problem. Its also worth noting at this point that we think he might even have magical powers (think David Blaine), whenever we came out of anywhere that we’d been dropped to, hotel, restaurant, meeting place, shops and before we even got close he would just appear poised, polite, smiling and ready for the next bit LOL! Sumesh helped us understand the people, the culture, the whole area and everything Keralan, our stay was just amazing. If you’ve got to the end of this long review, hopefully you’ll have a taste of the magical experiences that we had and we do honestly owe it to Namisha for booking it all and Sumesh for getting us all everywhere. We honestly can not thank you guys enough for making our 10 year anniversary trip one that we’ll remember forever. We initially were looking to self-drive and book our own hotels. My goodness I’m glad we didn’t! We would have probably died 10 times over, the driving is crazy and not what we’re used to but it just works! Sumesh always drove impeccably, never got frustrated and when we totted it up, it actually worked out cheaper to have Sumesh for the whole time making the experience amazing and explaining everything to us and then, additionally, we had the experience of Namisha putting it all together and picking the very best places to stay that we would have foolishly overlooked and organising our days. 5 stars is an understatement!

Great experience overall. Nimisha was very helpful and responsive booking everything and customising a trip for me as a solo traveller. She was very quick to reply and help me to arrange the trip, giving options for activities and where I would like to stay. She also checked up on how I was getting on several times during the trip. My driver, Anil, was also perfect: responsive, friendly, helpful, and I felt very safe in his hands. Overall I would recommend Sanguine Holidays to anyone looking at arranging a trip to Kerala: they are trustworthy experts.

I will highly recommend sanguine holidays for any of your trips. I contacted them on very short notice for a 3 day 2 night trip to Munnar. Nimisha was very proactive and found me exactly the itinerary I wanted and recommended 3 hotel stay options. We picked Amber Dale hotel for our stay and very glad that we did. Although the package is not cheap, the quality is top notch. Thank you Sanguine Holidays for creating a memorable experience for our family

Great driver, high quality hotels and the houseboat was fantastic. No problems whatsoever and there was plenty of flexibility to adapt the itinerary per our wishes.

It was a really joyful experience!!! Planning and management by Nimisha was really great. Driver (Anna) was also good. Thank you for helping us experiencing Kerala’s beauty and hospitality!!! 😇

We had a wonderful Custom 6 Days / 5 Nights Kerala Tour Package with Private Tour with Exclusive Houseboat Stay. Namisha was very helpful and responsive organizing and customizing the 5-day Kerala Tour for an extra day and dropping us off at our hotel at the end of the trip. Our driver was very friendly and informative about the different areas in Kerala. The hotels in Munnar (Tall Trees) and Thekkady (Amaana Plantation Resort) were very nice, with good on-site restaurants for breakfast and dinner. The accommodations on the houseboat in Alleppey were also nice, with very good sightseeing on the river. Wildlife viewing can't be guaranteed, especially during the rainy monsoon season. But we were happy to see the bird life, Indian Bison and even elephants in a field along the side of the road. I wasn't expecting to see tigers, but we were excited to seeing fresh tiger prints on our hike in Thekkady. We were happy to visit during the low season with less crowds and cooler temperature. This was our first trip to India, and we're so glad we did this trip to Kerala. Sanguine Holidays made this trip very easy for us to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. I highly recommend this trip organized by Sanguine Holidays.

We had an excellent Kerala tour organized by Sanguine holidays covering Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey. We are a family of 5 with three kids. They were very professional right from initial response till the end of the trip. They were very prompt to our queries in organizing the tour. We made changes to our itenery several times until we were happy with the duration of stay at each place and the Hotels and rooms. They were very patient to accommodate our requests. Mrs Nimshi even went out of the way to help us by personally visiting Hypermarket to check if the type of packaged millk that we use for kids is available there or not and any alternate brands that we could use. We opted for 4 star hotels and they selected the best hotels in this category within reasonable budget. Also they booked the rooms with best views. Later we found out they are well connected with friend and foes at different hotels that gave them the edge. Through out the tour they were in constant contact with us making sure we were comfortable and if any further assistance is needed. Strongly recommend Sanguine holidays for a premium budget friendly hassle free experience.

If you have 5 days in Kerala this is an Incredible way to see it! I did the tour with my father who is 76, and the pace of the tour was so accommodating and yet so fulfilling! Nimisha in the office was lovely to work with, she was so friendly and helpful. Our driver Anil was one of the highlights for us as well. He was so kind and fun and helped us have a great time! When doing the houseboat experience, make sure you say yes to the small boat tour for an additional cost, that was for sure a highlight of the tour. Five stars all around 😊

We rented a tempo traveller from sanguine holidays (nimisha). The vehicle was very good driver was very helpful and cooperative. And nimisha responded to every phone call promptly. This is the second time I rented a vehicle from her and it was a good experience.

I had recent experience with sanguine holidays. I have taken a 5N/6D Kerala package for my family (total of 5 people) with a pickup from Cohin and covered Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey, and Cochi. Starting with the planning phase, I got very good support and responses from Mr. Sumodh and Mrs. Nimisha. During the journey, Mr. Sumesh (our driver and guide) has accompanied us throughout the journey, and their supportive nature and well-planned itinerary have even led them to suggest some places that are not commonly known to tourists but are really good. In short, I have a 5/5 rating for this team. If any of you are planning a Kerala trip, then don't hesitate to hire them for your dream holidays.
