Land and walk to the Khushbagh, a peaceful Moghul-style garden enclosing the tombs of Siraj-ud-Daulah and his family. Continue a little way upstream to where the Nawab’s great Hazarduari Palace, built by an English architect in 1837, dominates the waterfront. Inside are an extensive collection of pictures, china, weapons and other objects. Visit also the great Katra Mosque and drive out to two amazing buildings of the late 18th century, the Nashipara Palace and the Katgola Palace. Both were built in classical Georgian style by rich local merchants and represent the other side of the coin of the “White Moghul” period when English and Indian cultures came close to fusion. Overnight on the riverbank across from town.

    Hi Rajiv, back home from a great holiday, thanks so much for the help with it, everything works wonderfully…….must go again. Our Emirates miles have not been credited, so I can do you still have the ticket number for the return flights and the booking ref?
    Mrs and Mr Daughton
    Dear Gouri We’ve just returned from a wonderful tour of India organised by your company. Our experience was everything we had hoped for and more. We were met at every destination by your representatives who were constantly checking that everything was to our satisfaction. The accommodation we stayed in was of a very high order and we were well looked after in each place with the typical high Indian standards of hospitality. We would particularly like to praise the Tuli Tiger Resort at the … Read more

    Dear Gouri, Well we are back from Uzbekistan, tired but immeasurably enriched by our experiences! The holiday went well from beginning to end, without a single hitch anywhere. All the guides were excellent- and I mean excellent and I speak as a seasoned traveller of more than forty years experience. All the accommodation was good/very good except perhaps The Asia Hotel in Khiva which had no hot water when it was -10 c. outside! The first day’s itinary was tough after such a journey to get to … Read more

    Hello Rajiv, I wanted to write to you say what an amazing holiday we have just had in Kerela. The organisation was outstanding, everything was planned very well. we were met at every point of the journey by your representatives. This makes for a very relaxed holiday knowing that everything is being taken care of. The guides were knowledgable and very nice people to spend time with. I must point out that the lady who guided us in Cochin was excellent. This leads me to Robert our driver – he … Read more

    We contacted Tailormade Journeys Limited when our original tour company failed to return our mails. We had a route planned but Tailormade Journeys Limited were able to suggest some alternative hotels and routes. We asked them to add a few days here and there and change one or two hotels. They obliged and eventually the package they came up with not only cost less than we had anticipated but included guides on certain days and a driver every day which we had not expected. Having a driver every d… Read more

    Hi Rajiv Just wanted to thank you and your team for a well organised trip. Me and my partner felt very safe and supported at all destinations which was particularly a concern for us given two travelling alone. I would also like to mention and give personal thanks to Giresh our operator in Deli and our guide in Amritsar Sandy who are a credit to the overall organisation of the trip. We will be booking again next year and I look forward to getting in touch with you for our future holiday pla… Read more

    Hi Gouri, I apologise for lack of contact since we were escorted to Chennai airport as we have been at sea in the Maldives. We are just back to Heathrow. Everything went really well, all the arrangements were perfect. Driver was excellent and great company. I will send detailed comments when I have had a sleep, copied to your colleagues in India. Many thanks for your services, we have many ideas for another India trip. Well done! Frank and Chris Jones, Nigel and Jenny Starr.

    A huge “Thank you!” for arranging our April trip to the Golden Triangle and Shimla. The holiday exceeded our expectations and your arrangements helped to erase any anxieties. Pride of place goes to the excellent service you offered; from the booking, throughout the trip, and the fact that you were always easy to reach and speedy in your responses. The home stay in Delhi, though basic, was clean and the food very good. Our driver, Rishi: I have already read other reviews rightfully singi… Read more
