Customer Reviews
Sunil at Travlogue was very patient in helping to devise the itinerary we wanted, and kept in touch during the trip to check that everything was going smoothly.

The private trip included Delhi, Varanasi (where we experienced the Ganges at sunrise and sunset - totally different experiences), Khajuraho (wonderful Hindu and Jain temples with beautiful carvings), Bandhavgarh National Park (three safaris), Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur and Cochin. At Cochin we took an overnight trip on a houseboat, which was lovely and relaxing after all the hustle and bustle of the cities.
The trip was seamless, with excellent drivers and guides throughout, who went the extra mile to help with any problems that arose or extra requests for things we wanted to do. The hotels were all top quality and we had a brilliant holiday. Would thoroughly recommend Travlogue, and they were a lot cheaper than the UK company we have used before. Many thanks to Sunil and the team.
