- shyamalau20210 contributionsMemorable VacationWe had a great vacation in India (Tirupathi, Kanchipuram, Ooty, Mudumalai forest) and thanks to KeyTerns for helping from planning to arranging all accommodations for us based on our needs. Srini and Aparna are very thorough and professional and made our trip personalized and memorable. Can't wait to plan my next trip with them.♥️Written 30 August 2024
- Shalini20180 contributionsExcellent morning birdingExcellent morning birding in Chennai. Mr Subramaniam Sankar is a knowledgeable birder and passionate conservationist.Written 23 July 2024
- MKalaivani0 contributionsShillong and Guwahati with KeyternsI always travel with Keyterns even for family functions as they book clean and neat rooms with very good food. This tour with them was very safe. We felt at home in the new place. Food and room facilities were amazing in the hotels they booked for us. The cab and tour plan was also good. The local coordinator followed up regularly. Aparna was always available to check on us and help. Another memorable trip with keyterns.Written 14 June 2024
- ashokt6400 contributionsAmazing tour!This was definitely the highlight of my time in Chennai. Vijay, our guide, is exceptionally knowledgeable and brought the artefacts in the museum to life with detailed information about the history and related mythology. I would strongly recommend this tour.Written 1 May 2024
- Chris D0 contributionsA wonderful days birdingWe had a great days birding with Subbu who is a very knowledgeable and personable birder. Subbu phoned the night before the trip to check if we had binoculars etc and what types of birds we wanted to see so tailored the day to meet our requirements. He brought his spotting scope so we were able to get some great close views of the more distant birds. I also asked if we could go out early before it became too hot and he duly obliged, arranging for a taxi to collect us from the hotel before the temperature hit 30 degrees. I’m a fairly experienced UK birder but this was my first time out and about in Chennai and it didn’t disappoint as we clocked up over 70 species in a few hours including spotted eagle, 3 kingfisher species, 3 bittern species, bee eater, roller, golden oriole, fulvous whistling ducks and spotted owlets. Subbu also has a very keen ear and was constantly identifying calls for us. I would thoroughly recommend a birding trip and will definitely go again when the opportunity presents itself.Written 22 April 2024
- Nomad326039626430 contributionsThailand Phuket, Pattaya and BangkokTravelled to Thailand for 6 nights and 7 days . Keyterns organised wonderful trip with meticulous planning and I have never encountered any glitches throughout the trip. Hotels and Cabs booking were spot on.

- Adventure448605304620 contributionsTicking off one new experience in life- Bird Watching!"I must say, this was truly one of the best experiences of my life. I had never been birdwatching before. When they mentioned that we would be accompanied by an expert, we were hopeful for a great experience. It happened to be my wife's birthday, and she thoroughly enjoyed it. Amidst the chaos of the city, they took us to a beautiful spot, guiding us through some exquisite birds. Just by observing them, a sense of calmness washed over our minds. The experience was further elevated when we began to listen to the sounds of those birds. A special thanks to Mr. Subramanian Shankar and the Key Terns for providing us with this amazing experience!"Written 9 April 2024
- Quest280104414010 contributions3rd Feb 2024The guide Mr. Subramaniam was excellent. He taught me about identifying birds calls. If not for him, I wouldn't have scored 5. The tour was advertised at 6000 INR, however they charged me 10500INR. Promised a SUV but sent me on a Taxi. They were prompt in collecting the money. After that the treatment changes. Mr. Subramaniam was a through gentleman!Written 5 February 2024
- lalitham20240 contributionsGolden Triangle vacation with family made amazing by Key Terns.We had a perfect time with the trip. As a family, we had not visited heritage and archeological places in North India, and this trip was the perfect bonding time that I would cherish for a long long time. Key Terns made meticulous planning for the entire trip. During the initial conversations, they went into great detail about what we wanted to do and gave helpful tips for all other possibilities. They presented us with multiple plans, that allowed my family to analyze and ask for changes. The final plan was very well-balanced and detailed. Key Terns took input from us about the choices of our hotels and food restrictions during the planning phase. The plan was also executed flawlessly. All the people were very responsible and responsive. The execution was smooth. The hotels were great and we are glad that Key Terns put us in the 4-star hotels. Our driver was calm, took us around unhurriedly, and made us feel safe. The car was spacious, and comfortable and held our luggage without problems. Key Terns' earlier warning about excess baggage was timely and appreciated and we were able to set up our bags such that we did not pay excess fees. The resort at Sariska was especially nice since it was hidden behind a village, but it was also very nice and comfortable. The food at the hotels for breakfast was very sumptuous and we made it a practice to have a hearty breakfast and skip lunch to be able to do justice to the sights. The guides who were hired for us were knowledgeable and showed us around well. Overall, we all felt that it was a great trip enjoyed by all. To everyone in Key Terns, thank you! As a family, we had an amazing hassle-free, memorable vacation. Next time I plan to go on a vacation in India I will ask for services offered by Key Terns. To any of my friends planning a vacation to India, I would highly recommend talking to Key Terns.Written 2 February 2024
- 825umav0 contributionsWonderful, great driver, wonderful planning of itinerary.This was a well planned tour by car to see and savour sights and food in Bengaluru and Mysuru. Srini and his team at key Terns did an amazing job of planning out our itinerary and filled each day with incredible history, culture and ending each day with recommended restaurants for dining. We cannot thank Key Terns enough for their dedicated service. Our car was super clean and driver was very pleasant with a wealth of information. We split our time between Mysuru and Bengaluru. Shopping in Bengaluru was wonderful.Written 2 February 2024

- Sheela1230 contributionsGreat travel experience through KeyTerns!KeyTerns arranged us a vacation for a 6 days trip to Rajasthan covering Jaipur, Pushkar and Udaipur. We contacted KeyTerns about 4 months in advance and gave our travel requirements with respect to budget, sight seeing interests, food / lodging and transportation. KeyTerns did a thorough research through their local contacts and recommended must see & nice to see places in each city and also provided options for hotels & transportation. Once we confirmed on our selections they made all the travel reservations and sent us the detailed itinerary. During the travel KeyTerns assigned us a representative to be available 24X7 for any kind of support and every night they sent us reminders on the next day's schedule. They took care of flight check-ins too. They made sure that we had the best travel experience. They are very professional to work with and customer service was their top priority, it was our pleasure to do business with them. I have recommended KeyTerns to a few of my friends and they all were very happy with the service. I highly recommend KeyTerns to make your pleasure trip truly a pleasure!Written 19 January 2024
- MKalaivani0 contributionsMasinagudi private trip - Luxury and relaxingMy third trip with keyterns in a row since December 2022. As usual their service is great.

- Connector437646584080 contributionsarcheological curated Kanchi tripWhat went well: Vijay, our guide, is fantastic. The driver was always ready, the car was clean. What did not go well: there was no cold water readily available in the van or any kind of way to clean hands. Umbrellas were not available. The museum tour was below average and not what I had expected. Seeing how silk is made was also not what I had expected.Written 25 November 2023
