A first class experience - I can not fault anything about my trip. It was truly amazing. The hotels were absolute luxury, the staff everywhere were polite, helpful, and so attentive. The places I went were exactly what I was hoping for and some of the places I will be returning to, as I would like to spend more time. Two of these being the Folk Museum and time on a houseboat again. I have already recommended this company to friends. In particular George who organised my trip and Mr. Lalan who was my driver and guide.

Great memorable family vacation trip - It was great and memorable family trip. Our vacation started from Cochin-Munnar-tekkedey-allepey house boat stay-kovakam and Trivandrum, it was a 8 days trip, Iris staff took care of our early check-in at Cochin and Driver Saju was very helpful and needful in all ways. Drove us round safely giving us some tidbits about the area. And took good restaurants as per our need and on time. I recommend to all new bees to accomplish your vacation plans with Irish holiday package - Srini hyderabad

Kerala experience. - Fantastic holiday touring around Kerala with our driver Mr Lalan. The tour was organised by George and tailored to suit us. Great communication both before and during the trip. Visited tea plantation and museum in the hills, Thekaddy lake and nature reserve, Kovalam beach area and Kochi. But the highlight has to be the houseboat cruising the backwaters. Great value for money.

Amazing Kerala trip by Iris Holidays - We had an awesome trip. Our tour manager Mr. George had planned our trip really well by providing us very good accommodation and driver. Our driver Mr. Abhilash was very cooperative and polite. I would highly recommend Mr. Abhilash and would surely suggest my friends and relatives to ask for him if they ever visit Kerala. Iris Holidays has done a great job. Thank you.

Awesome Honeymoon - This review has been long overdue. We used Iris Holidays to plan our honeymoon in May 2019/June 2019. We travelled from Canada to India for the very first time. Our travel advisor Saranya went above and beyond in answering all our questions and making changes to hotels and places to visit as we preferred without any hesitancy. When things did not go as wr planned at one of the resorts, Saranya was there to listen to our concerns and immediately responded by upgrading us to a much better resort. Overall, it was a very well planned out honeymoon. They also helped us to book out resort and flights to Maldives, as an extension of our honeymoon.
