We have just returned from a wonderful trip to South India and the third trip that Marieke has organised for us.
We travelled by car with a driver from Chennai and Pondicherry in the East to Kochi (Cochin) in the West over 16 days. The accommodation was excellent and always interesting – from heritage homes/guest houses with only a few rooms to a gorgeous houseboat (beautifully converted old rice-barge) and a 235 year old traditional wooden home (not a single nail or screw) set in a coffee plantation in the hills.
The trip was made easy having a car and an excellent driver from the time that we landed until we were driven to the airport 16 days later. Marieke’s sightseeing suggestions and arrangements covered all that we needed and wanted to see; and the “extras” like suggesting lunches in particular homestays always resulted in great outcomes.
Planning the trip with Marieke was easy and consultative. We would not hesitate to recommend Marieke’s services and hope that we will make use of them again before too long.
