“Kerala Trip with Zo TripsThe Kerala trip was well planned, smooth, and overall a really good experience. The destinations were beautiful, and everything was managed in a structured and comfortable way. Special credit to our trip leader Shashi 👏More than just being a leader, he was like a friend throughout the journey. He was responsible, patient, and always approachable, making sure everyone was comfortable and taken care of. From managing logistics to handling situations calmly, he put in consistent effort to ensure the trip went smoothly for all of us. His support and coordination made the journey easy and stress-free. Appreciate his dedication and the effort he put into making the trip comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend Zo Trips, and if you get Shashi as your trip leader, consider yourself lucky!!”

“We recently travelled with Zo Trips to Kerala, and it was a wonderful experience. The itinerary was perfectly made, accomodations were perfect and meals provided was excellent as well. Just one issue we faced during the entire trip was with Zostel Alleppey. The property was untidy, rooms were filled with cobwebs and bedsheet and bathroom was dirty, seems like was not cleaned in ages, plus the takecare/receptionist didn't seems to cared much. But nevertheless our experience was too good. And special mention to our trip leader "SASHI" who made this trip special and unforgettable. He made sure for each of our needs, stayed with us like part of the group, suggested us amazing cafes and made the trip smooth from start to end. He is a gem of a person and even better trip leader. I will personally travel with Zotrip again seeing the experience on the Kerala Trip. Thank you”
