The guides and the driver were superb as usual. Mr Paneer in Mahabalipuram was our favourite, but all had their special points. Mr Suresh the driver was first rate. The tour was designed very well, with enough rest periods between the long drives. The CGH Earth hotel was, as ever, an absolute pleasure and we are glad we had three nights there. The Sangam hotels were also very nice, and it was good for a few days to feel we were touring with Indian families, not just European travellers.
We had only one small problem, which was the luggage allowance on SpiceJet airways internal flight from Madurai to Cennai. We were not warned that the limit would be 30kg and so had a bit of a panic at Madurai airport. Apart from that all things went smoothly and pleasantly. ”
