Feb 09,2024A fabulous first trip to India. Would highly recommend Bespoke India Travel for any travel to India. Sanjay was so helpful with the planning and ideas for our trip to Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan, then on to Mumbai and then Kerala. Pre booking trains and internal flights and lots of information before we went, including visa advice so we were well prepared and supported throughout. The reps who met us at each stop were all very helpful. We had a great driver Mohan for our 2 weeks touring Rajasthan and other drivers who collected us in Mumbai and Kochi. All the guides we met were very knowledgeable and interesting and often added or were happy to add extra things into the itineraries and suggested good local places to eat each day. A great variety of accommodation in hotels and some lovely homestays. A slight issue with our room the first night in Delhi was sorted out so promptly, Dinesh the rep in Delhi was very helpful then and also with organising our check in for our internal flight from Udaipur to Mumbai. An unforgettable trip. Will definitely use Bespoke for future trips.

Jan 21,2024From our initial enquiry to returning home we received nothing but first class service from Sanjay. We chose to go with a small independent operator as we wanted to bespoke our tour, go on the dates when we wanted and use someone with extensive knowledge of the country. We were able to tailor an extension to the Golden Triangle with Sanjays expert knowledge and guidance which meant that we saw sights that we hadn’t even thought about. Everything was planned with precision the moment we stepped off the plane. The quality of service during the trip was first class, from the meet and greet guides at ever stage, our superb driver who remained with us for the majority of the trip and to the guides who were so informative and knowledgeable. Our local guides were certainly invaluable navigating us through Delhi railway station and seeing us safely to our seats. This trip was everything we dreamed of and more, with only one minor disappointment being not seeing the elusive tiger at Ranthambore (the one thing Sanjay couldn’t guarantee)! We are a well travelled couple and have used a variety of travel specialists in the past and I can honestly say that Bespoke are premier league. I would not hesitate to use Bespoke Travel again, and would recommend them unreservedly.

Jan 19,2024I really recommend this company as the service was excellent from booking the holiday until my return home. The guides were extremely informative and my driver was brilliant. I had a fabulous time and all the hotels were great ranging from 5star modern buildings to those with lots of character. I was contacted on a regular basis to ensure that all went according to plan. I am looking forward to my next holiday with Bespoke India Travel as Sanjay is so knowledgeable about the country .

Jan 17,2024We traveled as a group of four to Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Kerala for two weeks in late November. We started planning the trip with Sanjay several months prior. He was helpful with providing us various itineraries to review and provided great advice on where to go for our first trip in India. He was also flexible with adding additional days and amending the itinerary as requested. Before we traveled, we spoke with Sanjay several times. He was willing to answer our questions and review travel tips with us. He also sent us information about local customs, recommend markets and restaurants, and local contacts before our trip. He provided us with tips on the visa process as well. Once in India, we were greeted by very professional guides and drivers at each destination. They helped us check in and provided us with all the details for our upcoming tours. The trip was super organized and well run. All of our tour guides were excellent. They were easy to connect with and gave us wonderful stories about the sites we visited. Our drivers were excellent. The traffic in Delhi was crazy and our driver was unflappable. He was super friendly and accommodating with our requests. The hotels were also all very nice. The highlight of the trip was the home stay in Kerala. Cinta and Jose were wonderful hosts, their farm is beautiful, and food was absolutely delicious. The spa at Coconut Lagoon was also great. As Sanjay advised, the trip was the perfect mix of sightseeing in the north with relaxation in the south. If we travel to India again, I would not hesitate to travel with Bespoke India again.

Jan 07,2024Sanjay and the team worked really hard even before we got to India to make this real celebration for our 25th wedding anniversary. Nothing was too small to add in,including the famous photographer in Jaipur, requested, and sorted in 24 hours! Highlights for us were Rathambore tigers (2 within an hour of each other!), the Taj Mahal at Dawn and the renewing of our vows. All in a 24 hour period. It was so special and properly exciting. Our driver Naresh, was very good and he looked after us really well with nothing too small or too much trouble. It was clear to us that Sanjay and team not only are really interested in what you want, they have personal, on the ground knowledge, and firm relationships with their suppliers. We felt like royalty everywhere we went - we counted 9 anniversary cakes as well as gifts from our hotels (there werent 9!) But also saw 'real' India in all it's fabulousness! This company is bespoke, will make your special memories happen or leave you in prace to drink in the atmosphere. That's what you get from a small firm rather than a big one.

Dec 02,2023We have just returned from an 18 day trip to India and had an incredible time. We worked out an itinerary before speaking with Sanjay but amended this on his recommendations. This was our first trip to India so wanted varied experiences. We were not disappointed. Everywhere we visited had its own WOW factor enhanced by excellent and knowledgeable guides . We visited Amritsar Delhi Varanasi Agra Jaipur Udaipur and Mumbai. The drivers were brilliant too. So careful and considerate. The organisation throughout are trip was impeccable- internal flights airport pick ups and car transfers all went very smoothly. Sanjay himself is personable and professional. He really wants to ensure you have a great holiday. The attention to detail was incredible. Ritiki the Bespoke Agent in Delhi met us with a small gift as it was Diwali and told us she had organised WIfi in the car so that we could use this on the long drives and she also increased our baggage allowance so that there would be no issue during internal flights. All in all excellent service. We have no hesitation in recommending Bespoke India and will definitely use the company again should we plan a return visit to India. Thank you Sanjay Judy & David

Nov 27,2023They really listened to what experiences we wanted in our first trip to India, and crafted a wonderful itinerary. We got to spend time in large cities, seeing historic sights, but then non-stop active fun in Kerala. Everyone we met(drivers, guides, hosts) were so hospitable. We made memories that will last a lifetime!

Nov 20,2023My sister and I wanted to meet in India but dreamed of spending the majority of our time in the outdoors. Bespoke came through! Sanjay and Anil listened to everything we wanted to experience and made it happen! We had city and cultural experiences, cooking classes, saw block print making, had local chai, safely ate street food in the evening in Old Delhi, took the train, went to markets, had home stays and lovely other accommodations, trekked, saw an elephant in the wild, biked, kayaked and had great massage treatments! The amount of organization they arranged with guides and drivers was outstanding and flawless. I honestly cannot imagine going to India without their superb guidance! Thankyou from the bottom of my heart!

Nov 10,2023I was exploring a trip to Kerala, and chose Sanjay to devise a personalised 13 day plan. The first thing to note is that Sanjay listens - so you really can tailor your trip. The result was even better than I had hoped. Sanjay was knowledgeable and helpful . I visited Cochin, explored a tea plantation, stayed in a lovely hotel by the sea. But most memorable was two nights on a ‘backwater’ cruise which was just brilliant. I had a driver and guides throughout who were so helpful that added hugely to my enjoyment

Nov 06,2023I recently had the pleasure of booking a holiday to India with Bespoke India Travel, and it was an unforgettable experience. Sanjay, our travel consultant, truly understood our preferences and budget, crafting a perfect itinerary for us as young travelers. Throughout the planning process, he maintained regular communication and made everything incredibly smooth. The team in India was exceptional, always punctual, and our guides and representatives were fantastic. We explored Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Goa, and Mumbai, and every destination was well-organized and enjoyable. If you're a young traveller seeking a reliable and flexible company, I highly recommend Bespoke India Travel for an incredible adventure. With the help of Sanjay and the team we even got to watch a Cricket World Cup game in Delhi! An experience I will never forget.

Nov 04,2023Sanjay was an absolute pro. The trip he coordinated for me was totally customized and hit exactly all the goals I'd described. His team was thoughtful, kind, and made everything really easy and fun. Having all the details worked out so thoughtfully took away all the stress and allowed me to simply relax and enjoy the food, culture, and history of Kerala. Highly recommended, great service at a fair price.

Nov 03,2023We started the journey in Amritsar, then passed through Shimla, Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur, winding up for a few days rest in Goa. We were met with transport at every stop and taken to excellent hotels. Guides were informative and drivers very capable. We were travelling on a B&B basis and found that a large breakfast kept us going all day, with only the addition of a shared curry in the evening. We would recommend this company.

Nov 03,2023Just back from two weeks in India organised by Sanjay. And it could not have been better organised. We visited Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore (and saw two tigers!) Bundi (very few tourists and definitely worth a visit), Udaipur and Jaipur, as well as stopping off at many places in between thanks to our fabulous driver, Rinko. Communication was excellent, we always knew exactly what was happening. All the guides were first class. The hotels Sanjay selected were fabulous, especially the Rajmahal Palace in Jaipur, which is worth spending a little more on. The whole tour was excellent value for money. We will definitely be going back to India, and using Bespoke India Travel.

Nov 03,2023This company provided the best service that I have ever had in 45 years of travelling. Before, during and even after the trip the whole team have been outstanding. As a solo traveller it is crucial to feel that you were with agents that you can trust and I recommend this company without reservation. As well as the amazing tour of the Golden Triangle and Ranthambhore, the team enhanced my whole experience with their local knowledge and insights ensuring that my every need was met. Anil arranged everything and went out of his way to meet me and ensure that everything was perfect - excellent agent. Sanjay also touched base and the driver, Subhram was superb.

Oct 19,2023Sanjay organised brilliantly my, and a friend’s, recent trip to India. Everything ran perfectly smoothly and I will have no hesitation in approaching Sanjay to organise our next trip.

Aug 08,2023We were looking for a very bespoke 45 day trip of north India. Besoke India seemed to fit the bill and we were impressed by the review ratings, so we contacted Sanjay. We also contacted other agencies who happilly put together an itinerary based on our detailed brief. Sanjay insisted on telephoning us for more information, even though our brief was detailed. He talked for 58 minutes - without listening to our requests. Later he set out his proposed itinerary but seemed reluctant to give us a steer on costs. Other agencies freely provided this information. Eventually he costed the itinerary, which was significantly higher than his competitors for the same level of hotels. When we queried this we recieved a series of petulant emails. He later apologised for this citing he had been very busy and a lack of communication with his Indian agency. At this point we lost confidence in Bespoke India travel and have now booked with another agent at a more competitive price. I'm sure that others have had great service from this company but did they cost check the price?

May 23,2023An absolute dream of a trip! Thank you Sanjay, we had the most incredible time. Service, hotels, guides & drivers were outstanding, We didn't have to think about any mundane travel stuff, all so well planned we just had the time to really soak everything up as there is SO much to take in! We will be back :)

May 10,2023We recently enjoyed a truly wonderful visit to Amritsar, Shimla, Lucknow, Varanasi, Kolkata and Darjeeling which was superbly put together by Sanjay and his team. The local drivers and guides were excellent and were very warm and welcoming. We especially wanted to stay in Indian 'heritage style' hotels and the Judges Court (Pragpur), Ganges' View (Varanasi) and Windamere Hotel (Darjeeling) all delighted us. Thank you Sanjay. Ray Atkins

May 07,2023My wife and I booked a two week cultural trip to Bhutan and had a fantastic trip. Sanjay took a lot of time to help us develop our bespoke itinterary, he was easy to talk to and flexible with our requests to do some bird watching on the side. The trip itself was amazing, we visited many cultural sites and were privileged to see some amazing Bhudist temples and art. All the travel arrangments, traveling through Nepal, were flawless and worked well. We booked mid priced accomodation in Bhutan, the hotels were excellent, with nice rooms and friendly staff. We also had a home stay in a guest house on a farm which was very welcoming. We asked to see some birds and saw some terrific birds, particularly on the Namling road where we saw iconic birds like Satyr Tragopan and Brown Necked Hornbill. The guides and drivers were great, they really worked hard to make sure we had the best time in Bhutan. Bhutan is an amazing place and it was a privilege to be able to visit.
