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

    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 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.

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
