Mr. & Mrs. Colin Vibert

Tailormade South India “This was our 6th visit to India. We have travelled before with companies specializing in the country, but they tended to get too big and the personal service was lost. Indian Odyssey gave us that personal service, and also came up with an itinerary that offered us one or two different locations from other agents”

JOURNALIST STUART FOSTER

Tailormade Sri Lanka “Indian Odyssey organised a highly enjoyable customised tour for me. I returned home after many highly positive experiences, with lots of great insights into the country’s wildlife, culture and heritage. My accommodation was outstanding. My chauffer-guide was trustworthy and able to supply some cracking personal insights that went way beyond details I found in guidebooks.”

Ferwerda Family

Tailormade Family Multigeneration Rajasthan “A well designed trip. All our apprehensions were catered for right from design to operation of the tour. Teenage kids were well-occupied. Foodwise sausages and bacon were easily forgotten. Pace of tour was excellent. We felt safe. Everywhere we went, the team and hotel staff was happy to go that extra mile!”

MR & MRS. PAYNE

Tailormade North India “Our holiday was one of the most vibrant, colourful and cultural experiences ever with delicious varied food. Udaipur was a delightful and restful city for our final destination with fabulous views of the lakes and away from the constant tooting of horns. We will return again and Sri Lanka also appeals as another vibrant and beautiful country to visit.

Mr. & Mrs. Jenkins

Tailormade Northeast India “Thank you very much for organising such a great holiday. The itinerary was brilliant and everything worked very well and there was always an agent to meet us on arrival at our next destinations. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and it has wetted our appetites to visit India again. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Indian Odyssey to any of our friends.”

Mr.& Mrs H. Mcgill

Group tour to Rajasthan “Neither of us had been to India before, but we were well taken care of, and learned and saw so much! In addition, I would particularly like to mention how very good Tilak was. We relied on him completely, he managed everything exceptionally well, and nothing was too much trouble. It cannot be easy dealing with a group of senior travellers (especially on the train!) but he made it all very easy for us. He was efficient, professional, resourceful, and kind. We could not have asked for more"
