Everything we wanted from our India tour and more!
We were a little apprehensive about what to expect on our first trip to India, but the tailor made experience by Bespoke travel was outstanding and great value. The itinerary we set with Sanjay completely met our needs and great support was there every step of the way from Rituka and others in the Bespoke Team, the drivers, guides and local agents. Any minor queries we had were always answered promptly. The range of hotels and homestays suggested for us were all different and special in their own way - all to a very high standard of comfort, cleanliness and personal service. The experiences and trips organised within the tour were fabulous - varied, informative and fun! Some of these we would never have dreamed of arranging for ourselves, e.g. kite flying, Kathakali, traditional dance, but we thoroughly enjoyed everything we did. We are so glad that Responsible Travel put us in touch with Sanjay at Bespoke. We really felt that our travels benefitted the local communities, minimised the impact on the environment, while offering us a better insight and a more personal experience than an ‘off-the-shelf’ tour from a big company. We are already thinking about returning to different parts of India and maybe revisiting some of our favourites. We can fully understand why some other visitors we met at a few of the wonderful hotels / homestays visit again and again, staying for weeks at a time, particularly in the South. There is no question that we would do this through Bespoke India Travel - we wouldn’t do it any other way, following this experience.
