      Kanakagrawal

      Indore

      Kanakagrawal's 6 days trip to Varkala

      Our recent trip to Kerala was made even more memorable thanks to the exceptional service we received from Postcard Trip. The taxi driver they assigned to us, Prasanth Bhaia, was fantastic. He was always on time, courteous, and incredibly knowledgeable about the region. Prasanth's recommendations for
      activities throughout our trip were spot-on, especially that Kayaking experience we had near Varkala, which became a real highlight! Mahima at Postcard Trips also deserves a big shoutout! Her prompt and helpful communication ensured everything ran smoothly throughout our journey. Overall, Postcard Trips exceeded our expectations. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone visiting Kerala! Small Suggestion: It would be incredibly helpful for vegetarian tourists if you could curate a personalized list of top vegetarian restaurants based on their cuisine preferences at each destination during their trip.
