Testimonials

"Enchanting India coordinated our trip so that it was very easy to see and experience as much of India as we could in a relatively short time."

Michael James Macfarlane, UK

"Wonderful experience, looking forward to travelling with Enchanting again.
Our first contact in Enchanting-Travels was Brenda, who could not do enough for us, and still is, my daughter lost her necklace on our last day and Brenda is at present organising the return of the same for us.
The service from all Enchanting personnel exceeded expectations at every level.
Thank-you Brenda and Ishaan."

Denise Byrne, UK

"I would like to thank Enchanting India (and especially Brenda O'Connor and Bhawna Sharma) for making our trip a truly wonderful one. Having the benefit of their expertise during the planning stages and their support while on the trip ensured that we could focus on enjoying the marvellous experience it was rather than having to stress about the logistics.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to India."

Siobhan Nolan, UK

"The website is really beautiful and yet it still does not truly describe the experience itself. This is good as it is so enchanting and exceeds the expectation one would have. It keeps an element of surprise!"

Robyn Graham, Australia

"Efficient, accommodating and cost effective."

Graham Taylor, Australia

"Thank you very much to all staff at Enchanting Travels for all the work in organising our trip to India in December 2012. We had an amazing trip and we would highly recommend your company. As sisters travelling alone – we never felt unsafe with any of the hotel or guide recommendations.
The pre-organisation of the tour was amazing and the tour itself continued to maintain the same level of professionalism. Thank you all and we look forward to booking another tour with you soon."

Elke & Simone, Australia

"Enchanting India made everything possible to make me and my family understand why India is actually Enchanting! Great planning, great service and great experiences made our trip unforgettable. Thanks a lot to those involved in our trip. we will remember you as long as we live."

Rogelio Torres, Mexico

"Enchanting-Travels had excellent customer service, were very accommodating, and were willing to go above and beyond to help us capture the vision of our trip, and meet all our specific needs. I would definitely recommend them and use them again."

Emily Knudsen, USA

"We felt well looked after for the entire trip, without it being too claustrophobic. The range of activities were varied and excellently chosen, catering for all our requirements. Beautiful hotels throughout - despite reservations in coming to India regarding sickness, we can honestly say we did not have a single incidence of illness and this was down to excellent food in the hotels and restaurants that were recommended by our guides and driver. Would wholeheartedly recommend Enchanting."

Adrian David Ball, UK

"Enchanting India met every one of our expectations and more. The tour was well planned and our guides and driver were excellent. We were extremely happy with our experience. Thank you Enchanting India."

Lawrence Edward Smith, USA

"We used Enchanting Travels on our trip to India, in December 2012. I found the organization to be very organized, professional and easy to deal with. They delivered what they promised and I was very happy with the level of service from their sales, management, guides, drivers and support staff.
I would recommend this company on future trips."

Mahendra Singh, Canada

"My wife, sister and I used Enchanting Travels on our recent three week trip to India. I originally had a quote from a large travel agent that seemed too high. I was pleased that Enchanting Travels was able to quote me a lower price for essentially the same trip. I communicated with their representative through email and phone and they were able to tailor a trip that met all of our expectations. They provided exceptional service while we were on the trip - their representatives met us at each step of the way and we had a manager in India who we could call 24/7 with any concerns. The guides were all knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, and on time. We also had the flexibility to change our activities depending on how we felt that day. I highly recommend Enchanting Travels."

Richard Thaler, USA

"In general the itinerary was spot on. We did a lot of ground travel, but in fact we feel that is how to see the country. We always felt safe and comfortable even though we spent quite some time in the tribal areas. We believe that in general the guides, drivers and office staff at Enchanting India all tried extremely hard to make our trip safe, interesting and pleasant.
We enjoyed travelling with Enchanting India last year and will continue to use them in the future. Well done!"

Glenys Kerr, Australia

"Enchanting India took exceptional care of us from "wheels down" in Delhi, until our departure from Mumbai 11 days later. We were met by local representatives and drivers at every destination along the way, and the tour guides were very knowledgable and courteous.
We had a wonderful trip coordinator (Bhawna), who was always available by phone/text/email, whenever we had a question or wanted to make any changes. The hotel selections were fabulous.
We could not imagine seeing India any other way, and really appreciated the wonderful planning and service provided by Enchanting India."

Jack Gilad, UK

"We would strongly recommend Enchanting India for their excellent travel service, which combines expert advice on travel itinerary and activities; providing very good quality accommodation that is Indian in style and provides a good mix of styles; skilled logistics; implementation of travel and guiding activities; and regular checking to ensure that all was progressing well."

Michael Lambert, Australia

"We highly recommend traveling with Enchanting India. Our family of four spent eight days traveling in the Golden Triangle area in January 2013. From the first contact we had with the in house agent Ms. Ranjana to the drive back to the airport in New Delhi, everything was very well organized. Our guide Narenda Singh and the driver Rana and his assistant Ravit were a fantastic team as we traveled to Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur and Delhi. We highly recommend traveling with a guide the entire time as you learn a great deal during the long drives between cities and this gives you the chance to stop at places and visit sites you might not have planned to initially. The hotels selected by Enchanting were of a very high caliber, and we especially like the Samode Haveli in Jaipur. We usually don't travel with a tour agency and do our own planning, but this has changed, now that we have done this trip with Enchanting."

Lucienne, Turkey

"We had about a month before our extended trip to India. Overwhelmed by the task of doing our usual planning of our vacation, we turned to the Internet. Enchanting India immediately attracted us by the offerings and subsequently the standards set for cars, drivers and accommodations. We quickly decided upon a travel plan. Then we arrived in India and everything was more than we could have planned or imagined! Our travel routes were enchanting, our accommodations were gorgeous and our enchanting staff from drivers to guides were delightful! Our thanks to Enchanting India for making this in our top 10 vacations ever! We will be back and we will explore more of this fascinating country with your excellent services!"

Gerry Hart, USA

"Each day brought another set of wonders, enjoyed comfortable, as the company handled logistics. Tour sites were chosen based on our art history and Indian history classes. One of us calls this 32 day visit 'a great trip' and the other 'a trip of a lifetime'."

Karyl Winn, USA

"Bill and I had a wonderful time on our Enchanting India holiday. Right from the planning stage, 'our' wishes were what mattered and nearly everything we requested was delivered. Enchanting took the time to find out what we were interested in, our budget requirements, pace of the tour and where we particulary wanted to go; and then got to work and planned our itinerary to include as much as possible for us. We tweaked the itinerary and discussed alternatives where necessary and came up with an itinerary that suited both my interests in architecture, history and local crafts and Bill's interests in Bhuddism, cuisine and ethnic customs. Rajasthan was magnificent and the Himalayan sector was the icing on the cake. We have not stopped talking about it, and the best thing was, we did not have to worry about a thing - every minute detail was taken care of by Enchanting Travels from the moment we set foot on Indian soil, till the time we flew out. We would definitely use Enchanting Travels again. Thanks Enchanting for a truly enchanting holiday."

Linda Ruth Jodner, Australia

"We had a wonderful experience travelling with Enchanting India from the planning stage and throughout the trip. The level of service from the company representatives, guides and drivers at all times was superb. Their choice of hotels was excellent. We would not hesitate recommending EI without qualification."

Harvey Benjamin, USA

"I would not hesitate to recommend Enchanting Travels to anyone who is planning a trip to India. The team is reliable, efficient, knowledgeable and flexible."

Marianne Oort, Germany

"Customising your holidays allow you to travel where and when YOU want. You can take as long as you want in any of the sites and will never hear "The coach is leaving here in 2 hours time, please make sure you are on it" as with other tour operators. Enchanting have a team of dedicated staff who seems to bend over backwards in helping you pick and chose your routes, giving you the perfect holiday as it enables you to do what you want to do and when. The hotels they recommend we found were excellant. The transport is very comforrtable and the drivers are second to none. We have now used Enchanting for two tours of India, first to the north, Delhi, Agra etc. A very full schedule and interesting venues, especially the Taj Mahal and this year to the south. A completely different holiday but just as exciting. This was more relaxing, just how we wanted it, but equally as good. Enchanting greeted us at the airport and took great care of us throughout our stay, taking all the hassle and bustle out of arriving in a foreign country. There was no worries in any way but a relaxing atmosphere. The guides they chose were extremely knowledgeable of the sites/cities/palaces and we found them very keen to share their love of the places with us. These were the two most expensive holidays we have ever had but for value for money, and the stress free experiences, Enchanting cannot be beaten. God willing, we most certainly will be using them in the future."

John Butler, UK

"Our trip was very skillfully organized with a guide and driver, who made everything easy for us. The hotels selected were excellent, idyllic retreats from the stress of traveling the roads in India.
We had adequate time to visit the important sites, with the flexibility to alter our daily itinerary for spontaneous activities. Having entrance fees, activities arranged in advance saved us a great deal of time and stress. A knowledgeable guide is key, and we had one. For a first visit to India, this is a great way to go."

Marilyn Jean Clemens, USA

"Thanks to Enchanting India we had the trip of a lifetime. Thanks to our trip advisor Anupama we had an amazing itinerary and her input was key.
Thanks to our trip co-ordinator Swati everything went very smoothly and when we had a problem like when the airline damaged our luggage, she arranged to get it repaired. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was geared towards us having a good time. The guides we had were excellent and they really taught us so much and brought alive the history and culture of India, but the stars of the show are the drivers, who make you feel like you are part of their family, they take such great care of you. India is an amazing, beautiful and diverse country and Enchanting enable you to see this great country at its very best."

Michael Duckett, UK

"Thank you Swati and Bhawna for making our trip amazing! Courteous and professional at all times we truly were lucky to have stumbled upon Enchanting Travels."

Eileen Behan, Australia

"We really enjoyed the interaction with all the Enchanting team we had dealings with throughout our honeymoon. We were impressed with their professionalism and knowledge, especially that of Sarika and Ranjana from Enchanting, our driver Arjun, and our guides, particularly Gajendra in Jaisalmer and Anshuman in Udaipur. We felt they really went the extra mile to make our experience friendly, well organised, special, and exciting. Thanks guys, you were fantastic! Extra-special highlights were our tour of the abandoned village in Jaisalmer, the bicycle rickshaw ride in Delhi, elephant ride up to the Amber Fort in Jaipur, and the peaceful boat ride on the lake in Udaipur. But there were so many more! We also valued the interaction with real Indian culture rather than a touristic experience."

Rowan Conroy, Australia

"I will come back to India with Enchanting Travels - That is the best testimonial."

Aviva Birr, Switzerland

"We had no idea where to start when we decided to go to India. All we knew was that we wanted to see some of the culture and also to hopefully fulfil our dream of seeing tigers in their natural habitat. When we spoke to Jennifer she came up with an itinerary which included both a stay in two of the main cities (Delhi and Mumbai) and also a stay at 3 different National Parks to increase our chances of seeing tigers. The extensive itinerary was also, surprisingly, within our budget. From my first phone call to the last day of our holiday we were treated with respect and thoughtfulness and made to feel very special. We would thoroughly recommend using Enchanting Travels to book a holiday, if you wish to have the personal touch and be left with memories and photographs which will last forever. And yes.............we did see tigers!"

Linda Clydesdale, UK

"Having found you on the Internet, I wondered if you really existed and would show up at the Delhi International Airport upon my arrival. Wow - did you show up! My teenage daughters and I had the most remarkable, enlightening journey through northern India, thanks to Enchanting India!"

Nikki Sorum, USA

"I am really grateful for the wonderful job Enchanting India did on arranging our trip! The service, follow up and performance upon our request and specific needs were very good. I thank God that let me find this great service through the internet just doing a search to inquire about how to prepare a trip because of a friend's marriage in India. Since I have never gone I inquired about that and since I had a good follow up with the person who contacted me, my parents and I decided to go to India through this company. I'm really glad we did! We were taken care of really good! We didn't feel as unwelcome or unsafe as one would feel by traveling without help. This just made it much easier to travel and it felt very safe as well!"

Laura Rodriguez, USA

"A very enjoyable, well planned and executed tour. Thank you."

Kevin Rogers, Australia

"We booked our honeymoon with Enchanting in the hope that we would have a really special trip and were most definitely not disappointed. Enchanting's staff in India pulled out all the stops to make our honeymoon a very special two weeks. We did not have the time before we went to India to research our trip and the sights that we wanted to see in much detail, but the support and knowledge of Enchanting's staff and guides meant that this was not a problem. We saw a huge amount while we were in India, but still had the time to relax and enjoy a very special holiday in an amazing country."

Kevin Jay, UK

"We have travelled widely, and enjoy seeing and learning other cultures. Our India/Nepal trip was an "adventure". We are grateful to have had Enchanting planning our trip and taking care of us. Had we tried to do it "on our own" (as we have in numerous countries), it would have been very stressful, and probably a diasater. We recommend Enchanting for a stressfree trip. It's worth the price."

Ronald Waterman, USA

"We had a wonderful trip to India organised by Enchanting India. They were patient, friendly and efficient in organising our itinerary and made many good suggestions. The travel coordinator ensured everything went smoothly and was available by phone at all times. The guides were knowledgeable and helpful and told us lots of interesting stories. The drivers were excellent and always flexible. We would love to travel with Enchanting India again and have recommended the company to many others."

Susan Johnston, Australia

"The India we experienced was vibrant and alive, with frequent unexpected pockets of tranquility and serenity. People everywhere were very hospitable - we felt like welcomed guests, not mere tourists. Our experience of India was indeed 'Enchanting' - how could one not fall in love with such a beautiful country."

David Turner, Australia

"With Enchanting India, my daughter and I were able to participate as much or as little as we had the energy for. Every guide was knowledgeable as well as enthusiastic, and interested in tailoring the day's activities to our interests and personalities. I was thoroughly impressed."

Catherine Clark, USA

"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to India with Enchanting-India. They are exceptionally well organized and every part of our trip exceeded expectations. We would recommend them highly."

Joe & Frances Browne, USA

"There aren't enough words to describe what this trip means to me. As a solo female traveler, I had my reservations about making the trek to India alone. From start to finish, my concerns were met and handled. Prathima and the team did an amazing job of listening to my thoughts and expectations to plan corresponding activities and ensure I had the experience I was looking to have. Well, I had it... And, then some! From the quiet moments of reflection in front of the Taj Mahal to the rickshaw rides in Delhi and Varanasi and between the Aarti Ceremony on the Ganges to the sense of community experienced at Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, my mind and heart are filled with so many wonderful experiences. People say you'll either love India or hate it. Thanks to Enchanting-Travels, I am in love with India. There is no doubt in my mind that when planning my next adventure, I'll be checking back with Enchanting-India for help!"

Melissa Ludwikowski, USA

"We wanted something special for our 60th and 65th birthdays and were far from disappointed. I had waited 55 years to see the Taj Mahal and we were both in tears on seeing it. The story that was explained in detail by the guide overwhelmed us.

Since we first enquired about the tour in March, Prathima has become like one of our family, with the help and guidance she has given. The love of her country has blossomed through to us and we felt as though she was coming with us. A true credit, not only to your country but to your company as well. Everything she told us about the places certainly lived up to and exceeded expectations. Enchanting-India looked after us so well, all we had to do was get there and enjoy ourselves. From meeting us at the airport, to the hotels, the transport, the driver, the guides and the full organisation was far superior to we expected. It was an adventure, something new round every corner and every day better than the previous.

We have travelled a fair amount, most of Europe, the far east, Australia, Africa and the Carribean, and we can honestly say that this was the best holiday we have ever had, thanks to Enchanting-India and the fantastic staff they employed to make us more than welcome in their land.

Thanks Prathima and everyone at Enchanting-India for an unforgettable fortnight. Unlike every other tour operator, we were given advice on what to buy and how much to pay. It was the most expensive holiday we have ever had but there was so much packed into this one that it equals any ten of the other vacations we have had. Pound for pound, it was worth every penny of the money spent and we would certainly go again tomorrow given half a chance. Thanks again."

John Butler, UK

"I would highly recommend Enchanting-Travels. We used them in India, both north and south, and in Myanmar. They worked with us to personalize our trip and handled all of our reservations (hotel, internal air, hotels, tours). Hotel selections, drivers, airport meet and greet and our own personal local contact for the trip, it was A+. They made our trip hassle free. "

Shirley A Michelson, USA

"As somewhat aging travellers, India was of interest but potentially a little too aggressive for us in our mid-70's. Our knowledge of India and possible travel objectives were fairly limited except that it would probably be a one-time, last trip for us to that part of the world. So, what we wanted to see and know about the country and its people would probably require a more lengthy tirp and some help in planning it. A fortunate find online brought us to Enchanting-India that immediately assigned a trip planner to us and began a deliberate process for developing an appropriate trip itinerary and details that led to an absolutely ideal 32-day India trip. The planner skillfully designed a principally car-trip with professsional drivers and guides for each city/site visited. Mostly heritage hotels were included along with dividing the journey between north and south India, large and smaller cities and the countryside where the car travel brings you closer to all aspects of real life in India. Air travel between north and south and some train travel allowed the car trip to be tied together. And once the trip itinerary was finalized, the time of year was set that would optimze weather and tourist crowds. Their willingness to work with us as long as necessary to develop objectives and itineraries was outstanding. "

John Terpstra, USA

"Our experience with Enchanting-Travels in planning our trip to northern India was exceptional. We had a local guide in each city. The guides were all very knowledgeable about India's history, religion, and culture and spoke excellent English. The arrangements were flawless at each step of the trip. The recommended hotels were excellent and the pace of the trip was perfect for what we wanted. We were able to tell our guide and driver each day when we wanted to start and we stayed at each site we visited during the day as long as we wanted. India exceeded our expectations which were high when we started our trip - but it would have been a much more stressful experience without the help of Enchanting-Travels."

John Strait & Barbara Isenhour, USA

“We absolutely loved our vacation / honeymoon through Enchanting-India. We would never have been able to pull such an amazing itinerary like this together without the help and support of the wonderful staff at your company. I have already forwarded your website information to our friends and family members who were just literally blown away by our pictures and the details of our experience. There is no question, the next time we go to India we will be travelling with you again. Thank you so much for the experience! ”

Joyce & Michael Lau, USA

"I came upon Enchanting-Travels on the internet, along with hundreds of other tour companies. My initial contact with Enchanting was so positive (prompt, courteous, professional) that I decided to book with them. We had a list with a few places that we definitely wanted to visit, along a request to plan our trip according to their opinion of how we could best use our three weeks in India. We were extremely pleased with the results. I wouldn't change a single visit or the amount of time allocated to each place.

I have traveled extensively, and of all of the travel companies I have used, I believe Enchanting is the best one of all. I would not hesitate to use them again, and I recommend them without any reservation."

Larry Deaven, USA

"If you are worried about travelling to India, Enchanting-India is your answer. They made everything easy. They were great at working with us on an itinerary that we wanted and not some package. All the hotel recommendations were great; the guides and drivers top drawer. We were met on time at every location and introduced to our drivers and guides, which made the whole experience easy. I highly recommend Enchanting-India!"

Peter & Cynthia Kornhaber, USA

"Enchanting India provided the support for me to feel comfortable travelling alone in India."

Helen Dunn, USA

"We enjoyed two weeks of touring India with Enchanting-Travels and would highly recommend this company to anyone. From the initial contact, though the provision of a detailed itinerary to the actual holiday, nothing was left to chance but everything remained as flexible as we wanted it to be.

India is not necessarily the easiest place to tour, but Enchanting made it easy, enjoyable, safe and very, very memorable. We cannot recommend this company highly enough. They are undoubtedly the best tour company we have ever dealt with."

David and Marilyn Owen, UK

"The only way to see India is with Enchanting-India. Every detail was handled to a 'T' and we found very professional people at every turn.

Would we recommend them to other travelers? Absolutely. Would we travel with Enchanting again? Absolutely!"

Brian & Sherry Kelly, Canada

"In 2011 we decided to travel to India and wanted to see as much as possible in two weeks. Enchanting-Travels were highly professional from the start. We were confident that all would be smooth sailing and it was. We had a fantastic time. I'm sure we would not have enjoyed it anywhere near as much if we had tried to plan it on our own. All our needs were met and because it was a tour just for us, we could change plans at very short notice. I would use them again without hesitation."

Joanna George, Australia

"You know you are in good hands travelling with Enchanting, so you can relax and enjoy the experience without having to worry about logistics."

Gabriel O'Rourke, UK

"From the first moment (a phonecall with Prathima to discuss the objectives and goals of our trip) to the last, when the agent saw us off to the airport in Delhi at 0300, after an outstanding month in India and Sri Lanka, I felt as though I was on a magic carpet ride. Every detail was anticipated and attended to with great care .....we got the trip we wanted and so much more."

Dianne Gartley, Canada

"If you want to travel to India without any problems, hitches, glitches, and last minute problems, Enchanting-India is the only way to go. Even while on the trip, if you dislike anything, they will be more than willing to help you. Our comfort is their priority. Thank you Enchanting-India."

Kanchana Devi, Singapore

"Enchanting provided great service and support throughout our trip, and helped us to really make the most of our short time in an amazing country, where there was so much to do and see. Some of the hotels recommended also helped to make our holiday extra special."

Patrick Yates, USA

"Our trip to India for our 30th wedding anniversary was all we had hoped for and more! Everyone we came into contact with who work with Enchanting India, from the planning stage all the way through to the guides, drivers and assistants at the airport were professional, friendly and clearly wanted to make our trip a very memorable one. They did just that!!"

Veronica Vanderstoep, USA

"We had a well organised and trouble free tour, staying in delightful hotels. A really superb holiday and I have no hesitation in recommending the company."

Nicola Jane Cunnane, UK

"Enchanting India really did give us the honeymoon of a lifetime. Choosing Enchanting India was the best decision I ever made. Renuka was amazing when helping me plan everything, and then when we arrived the level of care and attention we received was superb. Just writing this testimonial makes me sad as I would love to be right back there. All I can say is thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our honeymoon beyond our dreams!! Thank you."

Laura Cordingley, UK

"Enchanting-India's attention to detail was second to none. It has been an incredible adventure. A holiday of a lifetime which I would love to repeat as soon as I can afford to!!"

Melody Fisher, UK

"We enjoyed the combination of freedom and safety in a land we had never been to. The guides were knowledgeable. We truly appreciated the joy, patience and care that most of our guides, city representatives and airport reps brought to us. Most of the time we had a great deal of "peace of mind" in a country where neither of us spoke the language or were familiar with the customs. There were several times during our trip when one thing or another had to be "ironed out" and I was glad we had someone we could count on to get us through it! We loved the freedom of walking through the market, etc. and people watching--feeling a part of things. We truly loved the sunset Elephant ride and dinner. This whole experience was one of the highlights of our trip. We loved walking through the spice market in Delhi (where we sneezed and sneezed and sneezed!) Likewise the busy flower market in Kolkata. We loved going into a Delhi bakery with Dependra and gorging ourselves on delicious sweets! Going inside of the Sikh Temple in Delhi and watching them feed humanity was life changing for us both. We both also loved the Jain Temple in Kolkata--we secretly thought it was more beautiful than the Taj Mahal!"

Suzanne Nelson, USA

"From the first contact to the last, Enchanting India has been fully present and totally helpful. We had a few minor hiccups in India that were handled immediately by Swati. She was always just a phone call away. The assistance provided to us at the airports came in handy more than once! That is probably one of the most important aspects of working with EI- one is never alone, support is always available 24 hours/day. I can't say enough about Swati and her caring engagement with us. Even when we did not reach out to her, she reached out to us, i.e. via email to make sure we got where we needed to be, asking if all is ok. We knew she was constantly aware of what we were doing and was thinking to make sure we were ok."

John Freeland, USA

"One of the best holidays we have ever had and this must be attributed to Enchanting-India's attention to detail. Congratulations to all concerned."

David Oldham, UK

"I would absolutely endorse Enchanting-India to any other traveller wishing a 'no hassles' holiday to India.
The EI staff are wonderful to speak to and to deal with. They seemed to understand what is required before one actually asks the question.
I haven't experienced this kind of service since 1973, my honeymoon to Hawaii!
I would definitely use their services again, to India, and the other destinations they cover."

Margaret Fletcher, Canada

"If you're looking for a travel company that "knows" India and is deserving of your hard earned money, then you should be spending it with Enchanting India. Their secret is their people. They really do care. Trip of a lifetime, Dhanyawaad."

Geoffrey Pitman, USA

"Well what can we say. This was our first trip to India and was absolutely amazing.
What a colourful,noisy,hectic fantastic experience.
Your selection of hotels was perfect,all different and charming in their own way.The palace at Deogarh was out of this world.
Each tour guide was informative,friendly and approachable.Happy to answer any questions we had.
Our driver Manohar was the perfect gentleman from start, in Delhi to finish in Udaipur.He was always on time, ready waiting with a lovely smile ,cool car and bottle of water.His patience on the mayhem of Indias roads was outstanding.
The sights and sounds of this fascinating country will stay with us forever.Feel sure this was down to the way Enchanting India organised exactly what we wanted even though we didnt really know ourselves.
Thank you so much for this "Enchanting Adventure"."

Stephanie Smith, UK

"Excellent help in devising an itinerary that met our interests and addressed our concerns.
Smooth coordination between and within sites. Prompt and courteous service. Great anticipation of potential problems in a country with varying rules and sometimes complex procedures.
We would choose Enchanting India again if we return to India."

Debra Harris, USA

"I have traveled extensively in the world throughout my life and have had a number of experiences with travel professionals. I am not an ordinary traveler and I don't want an ordinary experience!
I am a very detail-oriented person who is often accused of being a perfectionist and I can honestly say that I couldn't have handled me better myself. Prathima Rijhwani, Swati Iyer (particularly nurturing and charming!) and all the staff of Enchanting India that I met along my way never disappointed me in even the smallest detail.
On a personal level, I was very impressed by the pride that was evident in the work of the guides, my coordinator Swati, and even some of the drivers. I thoroughly enjoyed the guide's willingness to open up and share their lives with me. I felt everyday that I had a friend in India when I met my guides.
Keep up the excellent work. When I go to Africa, I will definitely use your services."

Michael Dawson, USA

"While it took a while to arrange this trip because of our indecision, what we ended up with was an outstanding experience. Great places to visit, great hotels, great drivers and local guides. Our contact, Swati, was the most organized manager I have ever had the pleasure of working with. A true professional."

Gary Bard, USA

"We wanted a slightly unusual trip to India that combined some of the more common routes and locations with places less frequently visited. Throughout the planning process our local Enchanting India representative stayed in close contact, listened to our preferences and made thoughtful and sensible suggestions and recommendations. Late amendments were accommodated without drama. It felt like a very personal service."

Timothy Hannagan, UK

"I had a good feeling on Enchanting Travels from the moment I received a response to my request for a personalised trip to India. Stella was remarkably knowledgeable and was able to provide a final itinerary that was tailored to our special needs. Thanks for arranging such a memorable, exciting and hassle free vacation in Delhi, Rajasthan, Varanasi and Mumbai. Plan to use Enchanting Travels for future family vacations!!"

Mohenie Prashad, Canada

"Fantastic trip of a lifetime with a knowledgable, helpful, energetic and passionate assortment of people that make up the experience of Enchanting India."

Camilla Danks, UK

"We cannot praise Enchanting-India too highly. Whatever they did, exceeded all our expectations. We would recommend them without hesitation."

Jeremy Lewis, UK

"Would recommend. Well done."

Michael Bevans, UK

"Enchanting Travels have been able to maintain the same standard of exemplary service and contact from the first year we travelled with them seven years ago. We have now travelled at least once a year, sometime twice a year, knowing everything would be perfect and if problems arise, they are sorted instantly. Thank you."

Keith Searby, UK

"Everything about Enchanting India was outstanding. We chose to travel with them in India, because they worked with us to put together a customized trip to where we wanted to go. We were a group of two couples. Our trip was through Rajasthan, Darjeeling and Varnasi. Typically I like to organize our trips myself. I recognized early on that India was a country that we would be better off to have all of the arrangements made for us. We couldn't have chosen better than with Enchanting India. From the planning stages working with Prathima, to the trip itself and concluding the trip, Enchanting India was there with us all along. It was obvious that they are focused on not just the business of booking a tour, but also making sure that their guests are well cared for every step of the way. Bhawna kept a watch over us in the background throughout our entire journey. I would definitely recommend them and would also book with them again for another destination."

Wendy Schopf, USA

"We spent 37 wondrous days touring India. All the details were impeccably arranged by Enchanting Travels. It was first class service all the way from the company representatives who met us at the airports, the drivers who patiently and safely drove us through some challenging traffic situations to the guides who introduced us to an amazing culture and history. We highly recommend Enchanting Travels for anyone considering a trip to India."

Blair Carlson, Canada

"Our two week holiday in India was a truly memorable experience.

Robert Hewitt, UK

"We recommend Enchanting India as an ideal way to travel though India. They not only book all the arrangements but actively manage them during your tour."

Louis Probst, Canada

"Enchanting India really made our first trip to India enchanting in every way. Their professionalism, attention to detail, willingness to please and high service standards made it a pleasure to deal with them, before and during our trip.
All their support staff, including trip co-ordinator, drivers and guides are thoroughly competent and resourceful. All details were very well co-ordinated between all the team members. Our every wish was fulfilled, and some extra services were even provided without being specifically asked for. The first rate selection of hotels and resorts available through Enchanting India is impressive in their luxurious ambience, high standards of hospitality and service.
Above all, the holiday that Enchanting India arranged for us was custom made, flexible, and totally worry free. India can be an intimidating country for first time visitors, but we felt completely safe and well looked after. Clear and frequent communication with our trip co-ordinator, guides and drivers meant that we felt in control of what we wished to see and do.
Our holiday with Enchanting India was truly memorable, and we are looking forward to travelling with them again. We highly recommend this company for your exotic vacation."

Amanda Silverstone, Australia

"Great trip, well organized and delivered by a very professional company. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to design their own travel program with the help of local experts. They took all the uncertainty out of taking this trip to India."

Jessica Anne Langlois, Canada

"I would thoroughly recommend Enchanting-India to any prospective travellers. This organisation's custom-made tours provide all the advantages of other tours, without the disadvantages of travelling with a large group. Immediately after registering on its excellent website I had personal phone contact with Enchanting-India's representative with whom I worked to devise an itinerary which was comprehensive, flexible and tailored to our own needs and interests. The reality of our trip more than matched our expectations! We appreciated the personal service of the guides and drivers Enchanting-India provided, and the wonderful variety of hotels. The sites we visited and experiences we had left us with a new understanding and appreciation of this fascinating country and its people. Enchanting-India is the organisation for you if you want to experience the extraordinary historical treasures of India, but also engage with its living culture, traditions and challenges."

John Schubert, Australia

"We had a great experience with Enchanting-Travels. From the very beginning, Stella Kukielka, our travel consultant, was extremely professional and knowledgeable, always available and very nice. She understood exactly what kind of service we needed and we appreciated all her input and advice on our itinerary. The quality of her service convinced us of the seriousness of Enchanting-Travels. Bhawna Sharma, our trip coordinator, helped us plan the last details of the trip. She called us regularly during the trip and knowing that someone was always checking on us, ready to help us if we needed anything was very comforting. All the guides we had were extremely professional, some of them exceptionally knowledgeable. Also, we had a fantastic driver and felt very safe at all times! Finally, we noticed that everyone working for Enchanting-Travels was very happy about their job and to be working for the company. It is a nice feeling for the clients. We will travel with Enchanting-Travels again and we highly recommend them. They provide an excellent service for a very reasonable price."

Clotilde Tamers, USA

"Our experience with Enchanting-India was beyond our expectations. We were a little nervous when arriving in India that they wouldn't live up to their advertising, especially when booking over the internet and not having used the company before. From the minute we arrived we were perfectly cared for, and in spite of our previous anxieties of traveling in India, we fell in love with the country and people the first day. The guides balanced a sensory experience with intellectual insight. The hotels were a welcome, luxurious sanctuary from the wonderful chaos of the streets. We HIGHLY recommend Enchanting India and would use Enchanting Travel anywhere they work. We'll be back."

Mark Prior & Luc Bernard, USA

“Enchanting-India created an amazing honeymoon for us! What an adventure. We saw wild elephants in Waynad, stayed in cottages nestled among rain forests and tea plantations, wandered around the Mysore Place, traveled along the canals in Kerela in our own private houseboat, and stayed in an authentic Kerelan village where we ate gourmet South Indian cuisine. The staff at Enchanting-India is so helpful and you truly feel like they want you to have the best trip possible. We hope to see Northern India soon!”

Melanie Lewis & Jeffrey Perry, USA

“I have been traveling the world extensively for most of my life, and rather intensively for the past 3 years. I have never until now used a tour agent/company and the experience was a good one. From the moment I first spoke with my agent, Stella, the top priority seemed to be crafting an experience that suited my own taste and temperament. Everyone I met or spoke with was friendly, helpful and wanted me to see India. I highly recommend the company for a first-class customized viewing of this mysterious and ancient land. ”

Debi Baydush, USA

“"Dear Enchanting India,

On our second trip with you (this time to Nepal, Rajastan & Goa) you once created a marvelous experience full or wonderful memories for us. We were most impressed by the very high quality of your local guides: time and again, they created special and unique experience for us: buying local sweets in hidden shops, eating Samosa at street corners and having a lassi in "the" local place afterwards - yet also a very relaxing private boat ride in Udaipur. All this was out together on very short notice by Enchanting-India, yet accommodated all the personal wishes we had. We've come back to Enchanting this second time, and will surely travel with you again: next time perhaps in Africa or South America.

Thanks again to everybody who made this trip special and memorable.”

Dr Andreas Schumacher, Germany"

“From the moment I started planning my trip to India and Sri Lanka online until the vacation ended after a month of travel, I marveled at what Enchanting-India had done for us. We loved the hotels, the food, the activities, our guides, and the convenience of having a car and driver. Not a glitch during the whole trip. It went like clock-work. I had sketched out the itinerary and indicated what kind of places we liked, how many days in each area, etc. But all the details were wonderfully filled in by Enchanting-India. Along the way we asked for some special things and our wish was their command.”

Cynthia Boyhan, USA

"We had a wonderful experience with Enchanting-Travels, and look forward to using them again for our travels to other parts of the world. They are a very reputable, honest and top-notch agency. Even our guides had very nice things to say about them!"

Andrea & Barry Lord, UK

"We were very satisfied with our experience with Enchanting-India from our first contact through our entire trip and return home. At every stop we were met by a representative who helped us with check-in and confirmed our planned activities. The guides were knowledgeable and personable and focused their commentary on points that they gleaned would be of interest to us. They were very aware of our comfort and made sure that we had plenty of water, time to rest and the best photographic opportunities. India is an amazing and wonderful country to explore, and we felt that with the assistance of Enchanting-India we made the most of a trip of a lifetime!"

Veronique Laubscher, Switzerland

"We had never been to India before and had no idea where to start or how to plan. I found Enchanting-India through an Internet search engine and I am very glad I did. The tour was organised quickly and efficiently. The tour guide and driver were excellent. The tour planning fitted in a lot of sightseeing, but we never felt stressed - in fact any changes we requested while on the tour were handled without any fuss or problem. Enchanting-India had arranged for us to have the tour guide and driver on call the whole time, and both could not have been better. The hotels were all excellent. After it was all over, I added up my estimates of the cost, including the posted hotel rates, and realized that Enchanting-India had managed to provide us with a world class tour at a competitive price. I would strongly recommend them to anyone wanting a better-than-average tour."

Hugh & David Roddis, Canada

"Our trip was amazing, each experience more wonderful than the one before it. We were incredibly well taken care of and the guides and drivers who were part of our journey shared not only their knowledge but themselves. We could not have asked for more."

Kathy Rose & friends, USA

"From our first contact with Enchanting-India we felt we had made the right choice. Our travel advisor, Renuka, was friendly, efficient and keen to give us exactly what we asked for and do so within our budget. We were able to put together an extensive programme seeing things that a traditional package operator could never match...

You can get cheaper deals from a variety of companies but I would beware of this. India is a wonderful place but has many contradictions, great charm mixed with downright irritating and irrational behaviour with a tendency to sometimes tell you things that you want to hear, but are not necessarily true. It is nice to have the security of a professional and dedicated team like the one at EI to make sure this does not become an issue.

In short...you get what you pay for and with Enchanting-India we have far more memories and experiences that we could ever have imagined and that is priceless!"
