Mr. & Mrs. Sage, Wales

Tailormade South India Tour

We had a fantastic holiday in South India. We visited a variety of destinations and experiences across the states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadhu. The tour was well organised. We spotted a tiger at close quarters in Nagarhole National Park. This was the best wildlife experience. We also enjoyed the Naturalist led walks and talks in Wayanad. We had a fantastic holiday with a great variety of experiences. We would like to give a special commendation to our driver John who was excellent throughout and very friendly.

Tailormade Kerala

“We had an excellent holiday! All the hotels were of a very good standard, except the Fort Munnar hotel, where the staff were very helpful, but the accommodation and facilities were not as good as the other locations we stayed in. We especially liked the houseboat and our driver Avi was superb – we couldn’t have wished for a nicer, more accommodating and friendly chap! Many thanks once again, and I would thoroughly recommend you to others wishing to visit beautiful Kerala!”

Society Group Tour Northern India

“ Thank you so much for making my holiday so enjoyable. As always so well organised and thoughtful.”

Ms. H. McGill

Society Group Tour of Northern India

“ 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.”

Indian Odyssey organised a highly enjoyable customised tour of Sri Lanka for me. I returned home after many highly positive experiences, with lots of great insights into the country’s wildlife, culture and heritage. The accommodation that was chosen for me proved outstanding: each hotel or resort had bags of character and proved a memorable place to stay. My chauffer-guide was a reliable, safe driver who was trustworthy and able to supply both a local’s perspective and some cracking personal insights that went way beyond details I found in guidebooks. I returned having enjoyed the journey, feeling it would have been nigh impossible to have done things better.

Mr. and Mrs. Colin Vibert

Tailormade South India- Private independent tour

“ This was our 6 th visit to India. We have travelled before with companies specialising 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 – thats why we chose Indian Odyssey. The person who dealt with our enquiry is also familiar with the country which makes a big difference when you are discussing holiday options. ”

Mr. & Mrs. Arnold

“We very much enjoyed Sri Lanka and appreciated your efforts in putting together a good itinerary in what was a really a short time and close to the planned departure date”

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. 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.
