Dear Rajiv

I just wanted to thank you so much for making all the arrangements for our Maharajas Express tour.  There is no way we could have seen so much so quickly.  We learned so much and loved every minute of the trip & it your explanation of the tour the was detailed, accurate and exciting.  The planning was all spot on and even when we had a small luggage issue at the end you were on it!  Thank you for all your support.  

Best wishes

Good Morning Rajiv,

Jackie and I are now back at home after our fantastic holiday in India.

The service that we received from your representatives in Delhi and Mumbai was absolutely first class. Everything happened, as I would have hoped, from being met at Delhi airport to arranging the sightseeing trips, the transportation to and from stations and the driver who accompanied us to Shimla. It goes without saying that the Maharajas Express was superb.

This was all very much in line with the exceptional service that you provided in the weeks and months prior to the holiday, and I would like to personally thank you for giving us such an exceptional experience.

I would not hesitate to use you again at some point in the future or to provide a reference or a review if this would be beneficial to you.

Thanks once again

Kind regards

Maharajas Express – Indian Splendour and South Indian Extension

Just a very quick email to let you know that we have just boarded our flight to Bangalore, which completes all the trip that you arranged. Angela and William departed earlier today.

I want to say a huge thank you and to let you know that all the logistics worked great. We were met everywhere by friendly competent staff and the cars/vans drivers and guides were great.

We will share more detailed feedback later which I hope you will find helpful for future trips, but for now, know that we will be heartily recommending your services to our friends.

We , that is my husband and along with my two sisters, total four members  recently had a 3 ^1/2 weeks visit to India ( seven cities ) including  the Luxury Maharajah Express Train ( six day Heritage trip ) through Rajasthan and Agra ,all details were arranged by , “ Tailormade Journeys ” by Mr. Rajiv and Mrs. Gouri Wahie,  and the trip was extremely well -coordinated with Mrs. Shyla Mohan , “ Personal Tours” in India. Our entire trip  was spectacular! Every detail( small and big), of the entire trip was  arranged by Rajiv Wahie and his Team! No matter what time of the day or night our flight arrived, we were met by an Executive Director and a Coach van at the airport, the transfer to the hotel  to check us in was planned well in advance. All our hotel bookings at Five star hotels , domestic flights, transportation within the city , guides and back and forth to the airports were meticulously arranged, no detail was spared . We also wanted to attend the Maha Shivrathri night events at the Isha Foundation and Mr. Rajiv and his team were able to  purchase the tickets ( no small task) !

Our Heartfelt Gratitude and Thanks to Rajiv, Gouri and Shyla and their excellent team, the entire trip went off without a single hitch ! Communication all through the planning phase and while in India between Mr. Rajiv Wahie and his team, with us was superb!

We give the Tailormade Journeys and Personal Tours 5 stars ! We highly recommend them and we will certainly use their services again.

Dear Rajiv

Greetings Again,

My wife just returned from the journey booked by you for her in the Presidential Suite on the Maharajas Express – The Heritage of India for 26 February 2023 and she declared it was the best trip she’s ever taken.

Many thanks to those involved and also the pre and post services that Tailormade Journeys staff provided her.

In a few years, we may ask you to recreate the same trip for her.

Highest Regards,

The Pedersons – USA

Rajiv is our highly compassionate, caring, and extremely diligent travel agent who takes true pride and ownership for his work, more than anyone I have ever done business with.  Rajiv went to extreme lengths to ensure that our 3-week trip to India and Sri Lanka which he planned from start to finish was 100% perfect, with extraordinary follow up and attention to detail.  There were zero hiccups throughout, and all of our accommodations, guides, and luxury train journeys were definitely “best of the best” in both India and Sri Lanka. I have known Rajiv for 3 years, and he seamlessly rescheduled our trip during Covid after he had planned it initially.  What really struck me about Rajiv is how kind he is, and genuinely committed to delivering outstanding service to us, his clients. The passion and energy that Rajiv demonstrated in order to provide an exceptional luxury service and experience completely blew me away and impressed me beyond belief.   I would recommend Rajiv to anyone who wants to travel in a first-class way.  We also saved a lot of money booking through him compared to doing it ourselves!  There are too many wonderful experiences to mention here.  If you would like any further details about our trip which Rajiv planned, please reach out to Rajiv and I will be happy to speak with you directly.

Hi Rajiv,

We are just back from the tour of Southern India on the Golden Chariot.

I just wanted to say it was a fantastic experience and holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The excursions from the train were top class.

There were some minor teething problems with the train as it had not been in operation for quite a while but this did not detract from a great experience and the staff on the train were very welcoming and helpful.

In total there were only 22 of us on the trip and this made for an intimate and friendly experience.

The transfers worked smoothly between hotel and train.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this trip to friends or anyone else wanting to experience the sights and sounds of Southern India with a luxury feel.

Regards

Nick

Dear Rajiv,

Larry and I are just now in Mumbai, after experiencing an exceptional 6 nights/7 days on the Maharajas’ Express. Our cabin, our butler, the tours, the evening excursions, the ‘entertainment’, the food were all remarkable!  Will highly recommend the adventure to anyone.

Thank you for all your help planning our very memorable experience.

All the best,

Larry and Patti

Hi Rajiv

A huge thank you for such an exciting trip on the Indian Panorama on the Maharaja Express.

We were both overwhelmed with the service given from all the staff.

We will be coming back to Indian again!

Regards

Julie and Sue

Dear Rajiv

Just an email to say thanks for the exceptional vacation we had on 20 nov 2022 on the maharajah express train on the panorama experience.

We have had many vacations across the world and this vacation as topped the bill and has been the most memorable experience we have ever had. We have never felt like royalty before and would  highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to visit India.

The main highlights for us was the Taj Mahal, a tour of delhi, the many temples we visted and a boat trip on the Ganges.

I would like you to convey our thanks to all the tour guides throughout our experience whom were exceptional with their knowledge and friendliness also extend our appreciation to the many staff on the train from our butler, waiting staff, train manager and the head chef John whom made our experience one of the most memorable. The train management team were caring and attentative especially when my mother had a few problems with her mobility and on all tours arranged wheelchairs and seperate transport transfers to destinations and arranging drop offs closer to the many places we had visited.

We both fell in love with the culture and the people of India.

Also thanks to tailormade journeys limited and your team for your support from start to finish.

Kind regards.

Llewellyn Simpson and Ann Bottomley

My husband and I have returned from a wonderful holiday to India that was organised by Rajiv in the UK. and local teams in Delhi and Amritsar. We were met and guided seamlessly to very comfortable hotels and escorted by informative guides during our first week with a tour of the Golden Temple in Amritsar particularly memorable. The second week on the Maharajas Express was an incredible experience that packed in so much to see and we were well looked after with quality food and attentive service from friendly staff.

Covid restrictions had delayed this Luxury Holiday for 2 years and Rajiv was so supportive in helping us navigate the complexities of obtaining our Visas and guiding us on passenger locator forms.

We have no hesitation in recommending Tailormade Journeys Ltd for an incredible experience and complete peace of mind that everything has been organised to a very high standard of service.

Our trip on the Maharaja’s Express 23 October 2022 has honestly been the trip of a lifetime.  We chose the “Indian Panorama”, which visited some wonderful destinations.  The variety of places we visited meant we were never bored, and there was just the right amount of time spent relaxing on the train, gazing out of the window as scenes of rural India passed by.  The accommodation on the train is very comfortable and spacious, and the staff looked after us extremely well.  In fact the staff deserve a special mention for their helpfulness and friendliness.  Arriving at destinations we were received like VIPs, with the full red-carpet treatment, literally.  India can be an overwhelming place, very different to the UK, but we always felt reassured that there were people from the train staff to guide us and look after us.  Food and drink have been absolutely first class, on and off the train.

Feedback on holiday arrangements

We originally booked our trip back in 2019, with the intention of travelling at Easter 2020.  Covid-19 put paid to these plans – we eventually travelled in October 2022.  Our representative from Tailormade Journeys, Rajiv, has been brilliant at keeping us informed about the various changes and issues that have occurred due to Covid, and advising us of what we needed to do.  Excellent communication is essential for holidays like this, and Rajiv has been very attentive to our individual circumstances and requirements. All arrangements have been thorough and worked out impeccably.  Our holiday involved hotel stays in Delhi before and after the train trip.  There was someone to meet us at the airport when we arrived in India to take us to the hotel, and then meet us the following morning to take us to the station.  Similarly when we arrived back in Delhi at the end of the train trip we were met at the station again, and then escorted to the airport the following morning.  At no point were we left worried about these connections or arrangements; the hotel staff were also fully aware of the arrangements, which was very helpful.  I would have no hesitation in booking another holiday through Tailormade Journeys.  Thank you very much!

Hello Rajiv,

We just wanted to thank you for the perfect arrangements for our recent vacation to India and also on board the Maharajas Express – The Treasures of India. The tour guides were excellent and the travel arrangements were perfect. The cars and drivers were always waiting for us even when our flights were late. We will definitely use your services during our next trip to India.

Thanks

Maharajas Express -The Indian Splendours 21/02/2020 – 29/02/2020

We spoke briefly yesterday about the above train journey that Mrs Joan Clay and myself took on the above stated dates.

I am writing to thank you so much for arranging this experience for us.  I do not have sufficient adjectives to describe how wonderful it was.  The guides and drivers in Delhi and Mumbai were helpful, professional and approachable.  We couldn’t have asked for a better service!

Thank you again for the travel arrangements you made on our behalf.  We would certainly go through you again for any further trips to India that we will hopefully take in the future.

Kindest regards

Rajiv,

We just returned from our trip on Maharajas Express Heritage of India 5 January 2020 and I wanted to say that I’ve never experienced such a well-organized vacation.  Every connection, transfer, tour and hotel booking was flawless arranged.

Dear Rajiv

I just want to thank you for organising what was a fantastic experience for us on the Maharaja Express train on 24 Nov 2019 . We had a great time in an amazing country full of amazing people and have already begun recommending it to many of our friend.

Apologies for not emailing you sooner to say thank you for all your organisation and help in our trip to India.

My husband and I loved every minute of it, from the wonderful Imperial Hotel in Delhi which was sumptuous .   The Stepwell was fantastic and we recommended it to a couple of other friends and they agreed.

The room in Mumbai couldn’t have had a better view of India Gate and the sunrise and sunset, along with the boats and ships that my husband enjoys looking at.

The Maharajas Express – Indian Splendours 3 November 2019   train journey was epic, we really enjoyed meeting everyone on board – only 40 of us with 60 staff!  What we saw on those 7 days was amazing in every way, such a fantastic country.

Your agents and drivers were very good and reliable and their English was too, thank you for organising all the tours.

I will certainly recommend you and your team for any friends wanting to go to India.

With many thanks again Rajiv for your help

Best wishes

As I mentioned on the phone, we were delighted with the personal services we received throughout the trip. I especially loved our guide in Varanasi Parem and our driver in Delhi Mr. Rana (probably didn’t spell correctly) but they made our trip extra special they were so professional and delightful – and everyone on the Maharajas Express – The Treasures of India train on 20 November 2019 and all the guides and drivers were awesome! thanks for giving us the best!!

Ralph & Lori Mosca – USA

We’ve been back a few days now after doing the Maharajas Express – Heritage of India , and I thought I would drop you a line to tell you how thrilled we were with the holiday and all the arrangements made for us.

It exceeded even our highest expectations, and certainly makes us want to return and explore further. Everything went to schedule, and all of the agents, guides and drivers were where they should be at the right time.  I don’t know where to start with the Maharajahs Express, suffice to say we were treated like royalty, and for a first trip to India and a special birthday holiday to boot, it was the only way to do it.

Thank you again for the seamless arrangements.

Kind regards

David Colman

We had a wonderful holiday on the Maharaja Express – Indian Panorama

The staff were wonderful especially our valet.

We were treated like royalty.

The trips were excellent and the food lovely.

All of our Guides were so interesting and we learnt so much about India.

Our Dutch friends where very impressed with everything too.

What more can I say a great trip enjoyed by us all.

Thank you

Doreen and Alan Hambleton

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for coordinating such a spectacular visit to India.  Every guide was excellent, and always where they were supposed to be at the appointed time.  There is always a bit of anxiety when traveling to a foreign nation, however, each of the guides were warm, gracious and welcoming.  The choice of hotels was also top notch and we enjoyed our stays in each city.

The Maharaja Express was such a unique way to explore India, and could not have been any more luxurious.

My first visit to India was more than I expected, and I am recommending it to everyone I know!

Barbara – USA

We would all like to thank you for organizing our wonderful trip to India. Everything went perfectly and the representatives, guides and drivers were very knowledgeable, polite and friendly.

The Maharajas Train was a true journey of a lifetime and all concerned made it so.

We will contact you when we plan our next trip to Asia.

Once again many thanks

All the best

John Bailey

We just wanted to thank all those involved in arranging our Indian Luxury Maharajas Express Train Tour and The extension to Goa with Kim & John Bailey, earlier this month in October 2018.

Every detail of the planning was impeccable, the choice of hotels, guides and drivers excellent. We had a fabulous time, thank you so much, we will have no hesitation in recommending you to any of our friends who consider taking a similar trip and if we are ever fortunate enough to take a second ‘Holiday of a Lifetime’ you will be the people to plan it.

Best regards

Mac & Jacquie Court

My wife (Jacqueline Evans) and I have recently returned from a holiday to India and Nepal in February this year which you organised for us and we have to say you did an excellent job

We travelled on the Deccan Odyssey during our stay in India and then toured Nepal.  The journey and experience on the train was just fantastic (as was everything else) and we have decided to return to it in 2020 to do another tour of Southern India.

Because you did such an amazing job for us with the last holiday we would like you to please  book for us another journey on Deccan Odyssey and add Kerala with it.

Charles & Jackie Evans – UK

We had a great holiday on board the Maharajas Express and thanks for sorting out our cabin, We were allocated twin cabin . It was a very comfortable trip and excellent venues. We would strongly recommend our friends.

Kind Regards

Anil Khosla

Just a few lines to say thank you for organising a wonderful holiday in India.

The Deccan Odyssey brilliant!

The hotel, guide and driver in Mumbai were good, as was the guide and driver in Dehli.

The hotel in Delhi was ok and the Baluchi restaurant was superb.

We had a great time.

Thanks again.

Steve Chlopas

Thought you would be interested in how our trip went…The Maharajas Express  Gems of India was very nice trip and the service was A class. We were very happy with all guides and drivers for rest of our trip to Nepal and in Delhi .  Absolutely, could not have been nicer or more accommodating ,  Hotels were all very good in Nepal and in Delhi Leela Palace was amazing.  Thanks for all you did and we did like our special dinner at the ITC Maurya Bukhara very much!  Fondly, Charlotte Stallard

Just to let you know that we are having THE most amazing trip, The Deccan Odyssey was without doubt the trip of lifetime, the itinerary, the food but most of all the staff who went over and above any expectation of what excellent service should be…..and we still have Nepal tomorrow, thank you for organising such a spectacular journey

“An extremely luxurious way to travel – a bit over the top with the red carpets!! a very memorable enjoyable trip, thank you.”

“You stated at the beginning that we would be treated like kings and you kept your word. Colorful and magical. We are sad to leave but take with us many wonderful memories. Thank you very much.”

“We have never received better service in any place around the world, thank you very much.”

Hope you are well and looking forward to Christmas.

First sorry for delay in sanding my review  on our holiday in India Palace on Wheel.

That was excellent holiday the train was fantastic,  whole holidays was very well organised. We all enjoined it very much.

Thank you very much for organising our holiday. I will ask you to plan my another  holiday soon.

Thanks again

Just an email to thank you and your team of Tailormade Journeys Limited UK & Personal Tours in India for organising such a memorable trip to Shimla and Palace on Wheels.

The whole team was efficient and they were flexible with us in some changes. They were outstanding and were available 24 X 7.

We will be recommending this trip to others and some of our friends have already asked us who we used. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and all the help provided and we really liked the upgrade to the Oberoi Wildflower in Shimla.

Thank you

Mrs & Mr TOM SCHROEDER

Just a note to say we had a wonderful trip on the Deccan Odyssey. All the arrangements went like clockwork. The Air France flights worked out well. We were able to see more in Delhi than those travelling with other tour companies. The Personal Tours representative and driver in Mumbai were very good to us, taking us around various sights and shops in Mumbai before dropping us off at the hotel.

The staff on the train were excellent from the train manager down to the valets. Nothing was too much trouble in ensuring that our trip went well. Travelling mostly at night maximised time at the various places of interest.

Temperature was very pleasantly warm, no insects to speak of and great places to visit.

Thank you for your efforts on our behalf, which made the holiday such a great success.

Yours sincerely,

Roy and Ann Shearer.

Good Morning

Just a email to let you know how pleased we were with the holiday. Every thing went like clock work and as for your staff over there they were excellent beyond their remit, they just couldn’t do enough for us not once did they leave us wondering what we have to do next, they were always a step ahead. they can not take all the praise as your imput was excellent in every way from start to finish.

We will use you again and have recommended you to our friends, once again many thanks.

Regards

Terry Mills

I want to thank you for the arrangements made for our India trip; everything went as planned from start to finish. The whole experience was fantastic and both my husband and I had a wonderful time.

Thank you very much

By the way, are you able to do something similar for South Africa?

Kind Regards

Esther Dominique

Just a quick note to thank you for your efforts in making our trip to India a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Everything ran like clockwork. All of the local guides were very knowledgeable and informative and allowed ample time for us to view the various sites and monuments visited.

I would particularly like to pass on our praise and thanks for our driver for the week, Rishi Ram, who was perhaps the best of the of the guides as well as being the driver, ensuring that we saw as much of the cities as possible by taking us to a number of additional sites once the official guides had concluded their tours. He also made sure that we ate in a range of very good restaurants each evening.

Thanks to all of your team in the UK and India for making this such a memorable experience. I will have no hesitation in recommending your organisation  to any friends who are considering similar trips.

Regards

We have just returned from a 19 day tour in southern India and i had to write to say how delighted we were with all the arrangements. Everything was exactly as planned .We had 8 different stopovers and it all ran like clock work even when the time of an internal flight was changed to 4 hours earlier. The transport, driver and guides were top class and all worked well. I cannot recommend highly enough and we will certainly use again.

I just wanted to say many thanks for organising our tour of India’s Golden Triangle with The Maharajas Express. My mum and I were met at the airport by Girish with beautiful garlands and I was presented with a lovely bouquet for my birthday. It was very thoughtful – we had a lovely time at our sightseeing tour. The train journey was simply fantastic and even my mum agreed that we should have booked the 7 day tour!

Thanks again for all your help in making our holiday one we will find hard to replicate.

We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to India. From our first conversation with you until our return home.The hotel, Palace on Wheels train,and sites were exceptional. The service and warm heart of the Indian people_______________was SUPER.

The special attention that we received from our guide Girish and our driver Rishi was exceptional. They deserve a raise. I left my carry on suit case at the train and they were more upset than I was (if that was possible because we had all our medications in it) . They quickly jumped in the car and chased it down,which was no easy job. They are great representatives for your company.

We feel we were pampered the whole trip.

Now we are interested in Japan (which would include Hiroshima), Dubai and UAE with Iran. If you have trips to these locations we would like to hear from you.

Thanks again.

Just to express our thanks to you and your team for giving us a lovely holiday on Luxury Palace on Wheels train. It was a lifetime experience.
Thank you

Mrs Linda Langrish just returned back from the Maharajas Express Train Journey and this is what she has to say.
The perfect way to see a large part of India without the packing and unpacking and of course “the traffic”. Just returned from a fabulous trip, thank you Rajiv for arranging all of the finer details of a once in a lifetime trip

We’ve just returned from our trip on the Golden Chariot. We all had an excellent time and all arrangements worked perfectly. Thanks for organising everything so efficiently. We would definitely be happy to use your company again.

The attention to detail, the variety of activities, fabulous service has impressed the most during our stay at Maharajas’ Express.

It is now 2 weeks since we returned from our visit to the Golden Triangle and Goa. It was a fantastic trip and everything was very well organized both in the UK and India side. The choice of hotels was excellent. We were very well looked after in India, the drivers and guides were excellent and everything went to plan. We will have no hesitation in using your company for similar future trips.

We arrived home today after a very enjoyable holiday with no problems. The guides, drivers, hotels
etc were all very good. Many thanks for organising it.

Very well organized throughout the trip.

An extremely luxurious way to travel – a bit over the top with the red carpets!! a very memorable enjoyable trip, thank you.

You stated at the beginning that we would be treated like kings and you kept your word. Colorful and magical. We are sad to leave but take with us many wonderful memories. Thank you very much.

I just wanted to let you know we had a brilliant holiday in India, the hotels and the guides were all
excellent and very knowledgeable. I would recommend your services to anyone visiting India. India is a great country to visit and I will definitely be recommending it to my friends. Thank you for all your help with the itinerary etc.

We have never received better service in any place around the world, thank you very much.

The Service, the creative programming and overall mix of activities fulfilled the mantra of Incredible India.

A short note to tell you – I am sure you will not be surprised – that we had an excellent trip to Kerala, returning yesterday evening exhausted but delighted with it all. Many thanks for making all the arrangements which worked without a single hitch. Since you know all the attractions I will not single one out but I would like to mention that our driver throughout – Yahiya – was quite outstanding and much enhanced our whole experience. If it is possible to put our appreciation of his service on record I should be most grateful.

With renewed thanks

David Harrison

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.

We returned from our holiday in India this week and would like to thank you for your help in organising our Golden Triangle tour.

We had an amazing time and cannot speak to highly of Mr Rishi. He was so lovely, helpful and knowledgable – he really made the holiday.

Thank you again for your faultless planning.

Paul and Sue Bing

We arrived back from our tour of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia on Friday.

I wanted to write and thank you for arranging a wonderful trip. The organisation from start to finish was first class. We were met at every airport by our guides and the transfer to all the hotels and the drivers and vehicles were brilliant.

I will certainly recommend Tailormade Journeys to anyone who is considering a visit to South East Asia. It has been a memorable experience and that is all down to your ability and organisation.

Thank you

John

I am safely returned from my month in India in one piece.

The trip was fantastic all round and very well organised, with all the agents / drivers / guides in the right place at the right time etc and of a high standard. The itinerary certainly afforded a wide cross section of different places in the country, and has wetted my appetite to go back and explore again, perhaps in more detail in some areas.

I particularly enjoyed the Heritage hotels, the most interesting being in Bissau Palace in Jaipur and The Castle in Mandawa. Of the more modern hotels on the route, the Golden Tulip in Udaipur has good facilities.

Thanks for setting it all up. I will not hesitate to recommend your service to others travelling in the area.

The feedback is best provided in 3 parts, i.e. by country. We will assess each of those parts in the following way: 1. Sight seeing 2. Hotels 3. Guide 4. Transport 5. Service Sri Lanka 1. All the sight seeing was excellent, in spite of the rain. You can see why these are UNESCO listed. Suggestion: for the itinerary we used your clients will need to be a little fitter than we are. In the last 2 days the travelling distances were too much – our fault as we particularly did not want to miss Yala. 2. The hotels were all round excellent and the food was consistently the best over the whole trip. 3. Viraj was excellent. Knowledgeable and accommodating. We recommend him to you for other travellers. 4. Viraj was also a good driver and we concluded that having a chauffeur guide is the best way to do Sri Lanka. 5. Service was consistently of a high standard and very friendly. India 1. Two of the wow moments of the entire trip were experienced on this leg: the Taj and the Himalayas at dawn. Darjeeling was our favourite location in India. The afternoon in Kolkatta was interesting. Kanha was a waste of time. 2. The hotels in Kanha, Delhi and Darjeeling were good. The rest were adequate 3. Guides in Agra, Darjeeling and Kolkatta were good. The meet and greet at the airports were perfunctary. 4. All our drivers in India were fine. Myanmar 1. The sights were extraordinary in every way. The 3rd and 4th wow moments of the trip were the pagoda in Yangon and Inle Lake. 2. The hotels were the best of all 3 countries, particularly the Pristine Lotus. The food was a little variable, but generally good. 3. All the guides were good. The one in Bagan (San) was exceptional. 4. Transport provided was excellent. 5. Service was attentive and friendly and overall the best on the trip. If you want any further details in terms of feedback, please let us know.

Just a quick call to say thank you very much for organising our holiday in Sri Lanka.
We had a great time, the hotels were excellent, the organised trips educational and enjoyable and above all the driver Wickey easy to get on with and affable.
Thanks again and when we have time we will be thinking about a trip for next year.
Best wishes Simon and Ruth

In the past you’ve arranged trips to India and Vietnam for my wife – Heleen Mathijssen- and to Sri Lanka for our whole family. All these trips were fantastic experiences.

Name: Mrs. E. Charlton
Comments about the Tour: I kept meaning to leave my feedback on our holiday to South East Asia, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Here at last with a huge thank you to all for being so efficient. This was the first time we had an organised holiday abroad. It was wonderful, extremely well organised. The guides were all very professionnal and helpful. We had nice comfortable cars. The hotels were all excellent, we particularly liked the Laos hotels so refined. When we didn’t like the room in our last hotel in the holiday resort in Vietnam, you immediately arranged for us to be moved or upgraded. We were upgraded the next day enjoyed the rest of our stay. We have nothing but praise for the service we received and are contemplating our next trip. E. & B Charlton

Good afternoon,
Would like to thank your office to conjunction with UK Tailormade Journeys Ltd for an amazing holiday to southern India from 20th November to 8th December. All aspects were well planned and the driver, Anbu excellent. Hotels and guides all different but equally impressive. As 2 women travelling we felt safe and secure at all times. So many experiences to look back on from palaces, temples, dance performances, elephant rides, boat trips and massages. Can thoroughly recommend to anyone.

We have just returned from Vietnam and wanted to drop you a short note to let you know that we really enjoyed our trip.

We were so impressed with everything that you organised for us not only the hotels, which were all fantastic, but also the transport and transfers between locations and at every destination and city. Absolutely everything went to plan with no hiccups.

A special mention must go to the extremely helpful and attentive tour guides who were so knowledgeable and looked after us so well ensuring that we had maximum enjoyment during our holiday. They were all brilliant but a special mention to Hoang Minh Tien who looked after us in Hue and Hoi An for his attention to detail and the care in which he explained both the ancient and modern history of the area. We would appreciate if you could pass on our thanks to him.

Thank you also for your assistance.

Peter & Catherine

Just returned from our holiday in India, just a quick note to say all your recommendations and itinerary were all we could have hoped for. Your staff, drivers, and tour guides all extremely helpful and most knowledgable . l have to however pick out one person who helped to make this trip memorable. Mr Rishi. In a sea of madness he took it all in his stride. Very helpful all hours of the day. And his knowledge on the temples and places of interest we every bit as good as the guides. You should consider him for this role !!! I have already been asked to pass on you details from friends who have seen my video clips. And I have said you charges are most reasonable.

Thank you once again for all your help.

Mike and I would like to thank you for the amazing trip to Vietnam. It is a most interesting and thought-provoking country.

It was a full-on, well organised trip, with very knowledgeable and kind Guides, who were courteous in answering our banal questions with patience.

The weather could have been kinder, but you obviously could not arrange that for us!!!!!

Thank you once again.

Regards

Mike and Gillian Crawley.

Just letting you know that we had another great trip, everything ran like clockwork with no problems! The hotels were of a very high standard as usual could not fault a thing! The Aureum Palace in Bagan was our favourite it was out of this world also the balloon ride was well worth doing,a must if you are in Bagan. The Burmese people were so friendly and there was so much to see and do. Myanmar is somewhere we would recommend to everyone to go.

Thanks for organizing another great holiday!

Regards

Carol

We are now back from our holiday in India and what can I say, apart from Tailormade Journeys Ltd did it again! It is the third time we have visited India through your company and the third time that we have had the most wonderful holiday experience. Your organisation of the itinerary went like clockwork, which is always so reassuring in a vast and overwhelming country like India. Thank you again for making our holiday so memorable and we will continue to recommend your company to anyone who is thinking of visiting fantastic India.
