It was nice having a private car for the day. Keshav was our driver and he was very friendly and helpful. We left items in Keshav's car and he made sure to get them back to us the next day. All the viewpoints were stunning and lunch was tasty.
All included tour, our second tour with the company kept us stunned. We had a south tour with everything included. Our driver Sach was totally a great guide who took good care of us throughout the day
Tea route: magnificent, we were able to see pickers and we visited the factory. Very informative. Great explanations from the guide. We were very disappointed with the tea tasting, tourist trap: tea in bags, no flavor Then we went to the rum shop, lack of staff. We didn't have any explanation about the production, quick tasting, there were too many people Vanilla discovery tour: good explanations, very interesting Visit to a Hindu temple Unfortunately, we did not have a guide, but to visit, truly magnificent Overall, avoid, too expensive
