Bangladesh & India Tour
Dear Chris, I am very happy I found you and your agency through the internet to organise our seven-week journey along the Indian subcontinent. It is not easy to put together such an epic journey including two weeks in Bangladesh and five weeks in West Bengal, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala...but you did it in a very professional and efficient way! Everything went very smoothly and we enjoyed every moment of it! We stayed at fantastic hotels and resorts and we were always accompanied by very good guides and drivers whenever we were on land transportation. Your local agents were always available and very efficient to assist us whenever we contacted them.
I travel quite a lot in all continents and you are with no doubt the best agency I found so far! Thank you and we will contact you again for our next travels!

Tour of India and the Maldives
The whole experience was better than we could ever have expected. We couldn't get over the level of service and how well looked after we were for the whole trip which made it so easy to relax.
Without the planning it would have probably taken us twice as long to see what we did. We have already decided that we'll at least be back to the Maldives and no doubt explore more of India. We'll be sure to be back to you for your advice and in the meantime will be recommending you to anyone else interested in those destinations. Thanks again for making our honeymoon perfect and unforgettable

Holiday to Filitheyo in the Maldives
We had the most amazing holiday - the island is rustic and relaxing. We pretty much dived and snorkelled every day - did a blue light dive, a currents course and played with scooters you sit on. Great fun ... saw sharks, rays, turtles ... you name it! The holiday was just what we needed and more.

Indonesia Tour
Thanks so much for another really lovely trip. We very much enjoyed our time in Indonesia, and we appreciate all the work you put into making it happen.
The accommodations were beautiful and unique. We also loved the variety of activities in our itinerary - mountains, beach, culture, wildlife, cycling, snorkeling, train travel, boat travel, whitewater rafting - I mean, what didn't we do?! Then the 3-day live-aboard boat just for the two of us - well, that was the highlight of a truly amazing trip.
The Travel App was fantastic and really helpful! Great customized service, excellent value for the money.
So again, many thanks for a fantastic travel experience. We look forward to working with you again on a future adventure.Linda & Larry, California, Nov 2018

India Tour
I would just like to add my thanks for a wonderful trip to India. It was a truly memorable experience with so many highlights. I am already looking forward to returning to sample more of the country.
Our driver Praveen was a delight to be with and was always punctual and courteous. We were delighted with all our accommodation especially the ex-palaces in Rajasthan.I would also like to mention how useful I found the Travel App. It was so much easier than shuffling through mounds of paper.
Many thanks again for organising such a great trip.Anne, Bucks, Nov 2018
