Hi RajivΒ 

We cannot rate our week on the Deccan Odyssey highly enough. It was a very well organised itinerary with exceptional staff, high standard of food and comfort.Β  It is a packed schedule and every day is an adventure with a unique experience. The English-speaking tour guides were outstanding as were the staff on the train.Β  The quality of service, attention to detail and catering were second to none.

All staff were consistently efficient, polite, friendly and simply willing to make our experience one that we will never forget.

We would not hesitate to recommend the Deccan Odyssey experience to anyone interested in seeing a broad range of locations across India, all done from a luxury train run by a first class team.

A brilliant way to see India!

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

Hi Rajiv,

I hope all is well.Β  I know you asked for a review months ago, and I am finally getting around to writing one for you.Β  As ever, thanks for your help in the past, and I look forward to being in touch when I next decide to go to India.

Review:

I had the fortune to luck upon Tailormade Journeys Limited in 2022 when I was looking for an English-speaking travel agency with a focus on India.Β  At that time, I was looking to do an ancestral tour with some temple rituals in honor of my family.Β  Rajiv and his team were great with personalizing my itinerary per my request and making the trip relatively seamless.

When I next needed to travel to India recently in 2023 , I was again in touch with Rajiv and company. It’s great that Tailormade works with the same local tourist agencies because I saw some familiar faces when I again went to India.Β  The UK and Indian teams are warm, hospitable, and do really ensure that everything on the travel list gets checked off.Β 

I am happy I found Tailormade and look forward to working with them again in the future.

Dear Rajiv

I have been meaning to get in touch for a while now, just to say how much we enjoyed the tour that you booked for us (God’s Own Country – Kerala).

We were met as arranged at Kochi Airport and everything from then on was seamless.

There were no hitches with any of the hotel bookings, and the local guides were all friendly and efficient.

The hotels were all super and had everything that we would want, in beautiful settings.

Our driver, Sumesh was excellent – calm, polite and careful and always made sure we knew what our next meeting time and place would be.Β  He was always punctual, and communicated well with the guides we were to meet.

We especially enjoyed the Houseboat stay; it was so spacious & comfortable and the crew looked after us very well, providing us with Β delicious meals and snacks.

I was attracted to your tours because your website was very detailed, informative and it was always very reassuring to be able to discuss with you in person our personal tweaks over the telephone.Β  Your prompt responses, by phone or e mail, were really appreciated. In addition, your detailed information regarding visas and Passenger Locator forms was very helpful.

Sincere apologies for this delayed message; but thank you and your team for sorting out a lovely holiday for us.

We travelled with Tailormade Journeys LimitedΒ for the first time this year feb 23th -10th March 2023. We are a party of four booked back in September 2022. Rajiv Wahie of Tailormade journeys was a great help to all of us from start to finish. Always there to help with things like visa applications or any issues in the run up to our holiday. We must say this continued in India our holiday went so smoothly, every collection every representative was there for us at every point of our journey. Our trip was the golden triangle, Goa and munbai. So the first part of the trip we landed in New Delhi where we was met by a representative and private transfer to the Taj place. The hotel was stunning in every way service, cleanness, food and rooms. We spent two days in Delhi our private guided tour of the city was excellent over this time, our only gripe really was being taken to a carpet / rug making workshops which we felt quite uncomfortable and pressured. We traveled by road next to Agra where we stayed at the Itc Mughal which again was excellent. Our guide Amit Upadhyay was really great and our driver JT throughout the triangle was brilliant. Amit took us to the Taj Mahal in the evening and early morning along with a lot of other great sights and places of interest. He was very informative and we felt his knowledge and know how kept us secure and directed us accordingly. Amit and JT our driver took us half way to Jaipur which was our final city on this part of our journey. We arrived at the Itc Rajputana equally as resplendent in every way, again meet on time with Jitendra Singh who took us to the Amber fort and other places of great interest and also very informative. We left the next day for our connecting flight to Goa which was again managed with all the help we needed and without any hiccups. Arriving in Goa was our rest time and although we really enjoyed our traveling it was tiring so a welcome rest was in store. Taj Exotica one word β€œbeautiful” we stayed in garden view rooms which were large and fresh with a garden. The 13 or so acres of land at this hotel is made up of a 9 hole golf course and stunning gardens and pool with service second to none. Two restaurants we went to on our six day stay was the main buffet restaurant and the the lobster village both excellent. The beach is a short walk with its bars and restaurants which are worth trying great food and drink a lot cheaper than hotel. We watched the sun go down most evenings which also makes this property even more beautiful. It was now time to leave Goa and head to the last destination Munbai our flight was smooth helped by MrΒ Devendra Shetye who directed us from and to Goa airport, most helpful also when we arrived in Munbai with information of our pick up. Taj Mahal Tower old colonial building set on the sea opposite the gate way to India building. This was very busy when we arrived because of the G22 summit was taking place on the day we arrived, never the less stunning hotel much more pretentious than everywhere we had stayed previous meaning high end shops within the hotel lobby and a lot of business men and women rather than holiday makers like us. remembering we was in the financial hub of India so to be expected. We had our city tour with a nice gentleman who we only know as Mr Tom who was funny and informative took us to the laundries called Ghats amazing. Also to see such wealth a poverty living side by side is mind blowing. So our trip was over and or virgin flight home to Heathrow was our last part of our trip, and what we can all describe as an experience never ever to forget helped by many people, but organised and managed by Tailormade Journeys Limited Rajiv and his team. We thank you and hope to use your great service again in the future. Jeff, Sally, Dave and Karen. Hertford and Essex uk.

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.Β  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.Β  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.Β  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.Β  Β I would recommend Rajiv to anyone who wants to travel in a first-class way.Β  We also saved a lot of money booking through him compared to doing it ourselves!Β  There are too many wonderful experiences to mention here.Β  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.Β  Β

Dear RajivΒ 

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.Β 

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 wouldΒ  highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to visit India.Β 

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.Β 

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

Kind regards.Β

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.

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.

I would like to say big thank you for organizing amazing trip for 4 of us to Jordan. We started to plan this vacation a year before Covid Pandemic in 2019 to travel in Spring of 2020. By January of 2020 we paid for everything in full but had to delay our travel plan till Spring 2022. Rajiv always kept in touch during pandemic and responded immediately to all our emails and phone calls. Rajiv was instrumental in planning our vacation and made whole process very easy and painless. He had a great knowledge of the area, booked amazing and beautiful hotels, all tours and transfers were well organized and executed by efficient teams. In addition he kept our money save for 2 years and never increased original price.Β We had a roomy, comfortable and very cleanΒ  mini van with knowledgable tour guide who are a good storyteller. Everything went without a glitch and as promised.

In the end, I would like to say thank you once again for such a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We never will look for another company next time we will plan our vacation to destinations that Tailormade Journey Company is offering. You are the best. We will always recommend your company to any friends or family if they will consider travel to destination offered by your company.

Our trip was stunning from start to finish – Aman and his team really took care of things splendidly- Our driver and guide Allen is now a friend . The greeting service when we landed off the plane was wonderful – would recommend for every trip – stress buster πŸ‘πŸ‘ Each hotel had something special – the Cinnamon lake in Columbo : the best buffet anywhere , the pool, lake and birds . The train to Jaffna was great – though warn passengers the A/ C is freezing , pack a top . The Fox resort was lovely , beautiful gardens and pool area , great staff , good food – bring you own alcohol ! Trinci Blu in trincomalee – beautiful beach , great service – beach chalet with balcony stunning – again great food . Wilpattu leopard trails tent was stunning luxury – the safaris , the guides , driver , their knowledge and food and service   were outstanding . The Uga ulagalla individual villa with plunge pool was breathtaking – felt like film stars – the grounds are huge – a midnight dip in your own pool watching the glow of the fireflies – magical. Then a week at the Wattura Resort  – did not want to leave . It was wonderful – the staff were amazing and so caring and helpful – the chefs were superb – the attention to detail was fantastic throughout – Chris used the spa and thought it was one if the best – mention for See Lanka travel about 300 m  outside the resort organised boat trips through the backwater and tour of Negombo  and  monkey island , 5 star and really reasonably priced .  Our many thanks to Mrs Farouk and Aman for their hospitality and their help throughout the tour – we are busy planning our return

Further to my telephone conversation with you today, this is to confirm our profound thanks to you and your team for the amazing tour of the Deccan and Kerrela.

As you know it was a profound disappointment when our train was cancelled – the Deccan odyssey with such short notice. However your reorganised itinerary did not disappoint.

Everywhere we went; we were met by highly efficient teams who whisked us to our hotels and picked us up to return to the airports. They even checked us in, waiting until we had passed security.

Our guides were knowledgable, the sightseeing amazing, the hotels first class, the house boat wonderful. What is more none of us became ill! One small improvement would have been two nights on the boat rather than one, but one night was our suggestion.

It was fortuitous that we alighted on your company. I cannot praise you enough.

Hope that you will look after us again in the not too distant future.

Yours sincerely

We have just returned from our holiday and wanted to write and thank you very much for all your work in organising such a wonderful trip.

From the moment we contacted you about the possibility of our venture in Indochina, we have felt incredibly well looked after and well informed. Your attention to every detail is much appreciated even to the degree that before we travelled we had received information on everything we would need even including what the welcome notices would look like at each airport .

We really liked everywhere we stayed, each hotel was perfectly located, near, if not in the centre of the towns and not in the midst of the tourist areas. They were all interesting and had a local flavour to them, they felt relevant to the area rather than the homogenous big chain hotels.

Each of the four guides were truly wonderful, Mr Ha, Mr Lup, Mr Vu and Mr Chin, were all charming and helpful whilst imparting useful and interesting information, they followed your well-structured and thoughtful itinerary, as well as being open to adjust it as we felt necessary on arrival in each place. We felt incredibly well cared for, and really valued the small considerate details, as well as the ready supply of bottled water which was always much appreciated. The guides were wonderful in being aware of particularly busy routes or times when visiting the sites, and managed to lead us away from these to make the most of everything we saw. We would like to mention that all the drivers were really good too…

The choice of meals in interesting restaurants with local food was fantastic too (we had 2 not so good meals and fed back to the local guides our thoughts on this which they seemed pleased to hear as they were keen on getting things right for the next travellers)

Extraordinarily, we received a message when we were on the boat in Halong Bay to let us know that our flight was delayed a little. What amazing communication!

We have been impressed by th organisation every inch of the way, resting certain in the knowledge that all was taken care of, which allowed us to enjoy a fantastic and memorable trip at every moment.

With our gratitude and thanks and we are already thinking about when we can be in touch again for another adventure…

Best wishes

Finally I have written a review of our : South India Highlights
From start to finish the trip was superb.

Booking and communication with Tailormade Journeys was excellent. Rajiv was always just a helpful email or phone call away.

The trip was very well organized, from the first moment when we were met by a representative at the airport and our fantastic driver for the next 3 weeks , Anbu – a true gentleman and ambassador for South India; knowledgeable, friendly, kind, caring and helpful.

The Hotels were generally excellent, particularly worthy of mention for service and quality :

Tanjore -Ideal River View
Houseboat Deluxe Air Conditioned Houseboat – wonderful staff
Periyar -Cardamom County (Periyar Cottage) – excellent staff and restaurant
Munnar -Tall Tree (Cinnamon Cottage) -Location
Mysore Radisson Blu Plaza – Outstanding Restaurant staff.

The trip was a tremendous opportunity to visit parts of India new to us and to revisit parts we had previously visited. The contrasting scenery, sights and sounds of cities, lakes, waterways and the sea, temples and the tranquility of the hills.

An outstanding trip from start to finish. We wholeheartedly recommend this company .

We just wanted to thank you for the perfect arrangements for our vacation to 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. Our trip on Maharajas Express – Treasures of India was lifetime trip.

Thanks

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.Β  I do not have sufficient adjectives to describe how wonderful it was.Β  The guides and drivers in Delhi and Mumbai were helpful, professional and approachable.Β  We couldn’t have asked for a better service!

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

Kindest regards

We are now back in the UK after a very memorable trip to India. I just wanted to say how exceptionally well organised everything was. The guides were always on time,very knowledgable, friendly and well presented. The hotels were excellent value for money and the staff at the hotel in Varanasi went out of their way to help retrieve our suitcase when we had picked up the wrong one.

I feel that we saw a great deal of India with the trip to Varanasi especially evocative. I have already recommended your services to a friend. It was first class from start to finish. Thank you very much Good wishes

We have just returned from our trip to India and I wanted to say thank you for your amazing organisation of our itinerary. We had a fabulous time full of wonderful experiences. The guides and drivers were all so friendly and very well informed. We were treated like royalty and each part of the trip went perfectly without any hitches. We loved India and will recommend you to anyone who is thinking of planning a visit. Thanks again.

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

My husband and I loved every minute of it, from the wonderful Imperial Hotel in Delhi which was sumptuous despite the bad Air Pollution. Β  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 train journey was epic, we really enjoyed meeting everyone on board – only 40 of us with 60 staff! Β What we saw on those 7 days was amazing in every way, such a fantastic country. Β 

Your agents and drivers were very good and reliable and their English was too, thank you for organising all the tours. Β We certainly crammed a lot in.

Mumbai was a little mad and we ended up cancelling the Elephanta caves and did the Heritage walk followed by a tour around the city and then walked down a market road. Β I think everything takes so much longer, and the traffic was very slow. Β We also wanted some down time in the hotel before we came home, so managed about 2 hours by the pool!

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

With many thanks again Rajiv for your help

Hi Rajiv,Β 

We just wanted to write and say how brilliant our holiday was to India and to say a huge thank you for such amazing organisation.Β 

Every pick up and drop off was to exact time and we didn’t have to worry about anything at all.Β 

The guides we had were so friendly and have enormous knowledge, there wasn’t anything they couldn’t tell us.Β 

We covered everything we wanted to see and appreciate the complexity of our requirements but it was all executed perfectly.Β 

Also thank you for your intervention to finalise things wihh the outstanding issue with Sol de Goa, that helped us so much.Β 

I would just like to say the quality of care and service throughout our stay was faultless, particularly at The Tuli Tiger resort in Kanha, the people there were incredible and we did see a tiger (!) and the Brijrama Palace, that was a real Palace, a beautiful location with really amazing food and such helpful people.Β 

So thank you again, we have recommended you, your company and services to friends already and will continue to do so.Β 

Very best wishes,Β

Hi Gouri

We’ve been back a few days now, 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. Β 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

We have returned this week from another fabulous holiday organised for us by Great Vacations/Tailormade Journeys and so I am contacting you to thank you and all your team, both in the UK and in Sri Lanka, for making our holiday so enjoyable. We have been to India three times with your company, but this was the first time we have been beyond the Sub Continent, so it was a whole new experience which I’m pleased to say we thoroughly enjoyed.
