Hi Rajiv
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. 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. 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!
Thanks 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,

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

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.
