Hello….
I jst came back frm 8 days winter vacation. We always choose a snowy place usually…my kid wanted a beach place this time..enough of Goa and kerela so we decided to head to TN.( Also bcz i had watched an amazing video on Tanjore big temple 🙈)
Wanted to thank Martin and Madras Travels and tours for amazing execution of my vacation plan of TN.
I had contacted Martin for end to end car for 8 days along with the accomodation for a family of 3.
The iternary designed was good.
Everything was flawless and smooth right frm contacting him for details ,the journey plan.. execution…pick up till drop off.
I must appreciate the hotel selections too in this peak season.
The entire process was fuss free.
Would highly recommend your company for such vacation plans.
