Despite a fairly high price, nothing is included in this tour, except a driver. Avoid this tour. And the company trested me very rude when I questioned the program.

Hello Everyone, We visited most of the temples located in tamilnadu along with Ananth Padmanabha Swamy Temple from kerala for a period of 8 days started from trivandrum, kanyakumari, Rameshwaram, madhurai, Trichy, Kumbakonam, Chidambaram, Arunachalam,Vellore. In the journey, we assisted with driver selvan and Mahendran who were very polite and friendly in nature. Coming to the hotels.. 4/7 of the hotels were well maintained but I was disappointed with the Kanyakumari hotel and madhurai hotel. Travel agency (vinusha) responded to us in a very polite and a cooperative manner when ever there assistance is required in the whole journey.
