I don't know why you're having problems contacting Melo Tours but £90 pp sounds very expensive.

It's probably 3 years since we did our last trip to Hampi but it was nowhere near that price, more like £45 per person.

in fact, if you take a look at this company (run by a British couple), they're quoting £45 pp.

We did a Mumbai tour with them and it was very well organised.

I wouldn't book direct with Melo and pay that amount.

Shassa,

I agree with ppcat! £90 sounds a bit steep.

I think our return train tickets (paying commission to an agent in Benaulim) cost about 1000 rupees and our (basic) accommodation 800 rupees for two nights. Add on a few taxis and this and that and I think you'd be hard pressed to spend £30 for two people for two nights (think I have got my sums right...)

Of course going on an organised trip would be easier and a tour guide may be helpful but it's really not hard at all doing it yourself.

So if saving money is important then diy!

Hi,

We went with John boat tours in candolim using Melo tour and paid £45 in march this year. save your money for the rest of the time Crs
