SUPERIORE AD OGNI NOSTRA ASPETTATIVA Non posso che ringraziare Febi per il viaggio che ci ha organizzato in India del Sud (Tamil Nadu e Kerala) Tutto è stato perfetto. Eravamo solo io e mia moglie ed avevamo a disposizione un auto nuova da sette posti con autista ed accompagnatore che parlava perfettamente italiano e che ci ha garantito un soggiorno senza problemi. Le visite, gli alberghi i ristoranti: tutto molto soddisfacente. Veramente un tour organizzato benissimo.

Bangalore Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala. Quattro coppie di amici pensionati che volevano vedere quanto più possibile dell'India del Sud.
