11 Day Private Tour
Mikerw2018,Feb 20, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We did a private 11 day bespoke trip crossing into Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. We did not want a tour guide - but someone who could reliably get us to where we wanted to go. Peter Dalglish made all the arrangements with no fuss and extremely efficiently. Our driver, Mr Babu, was charming, spoke good english and simply could not have been more helpful. Knowledgeable about the country and the countryside, a very good driver, he took us where we wanted to go and there was never a hint of being asked to go to haunts that he suggested. So, I can't recommend Carnival Tours more highly - their help made a great holiday easy, pleasurable and stress free. Many thanks to them all!
