Be Inspired - India Tours and Holidays

"Thank you for arranging a fantastic trip. The logistics were smooth from start to finish, which allowed us to really enjoy the places we visited and the many spectacular birds we found with the expert help of the local guides. Sanu was exceptionally knowledgeable and dedicated to helping us find all of our target birds. We saw far more than I ever expected and we are still excited about how successful our trip turned out to be."

"Everything went perfectly from start to finish. We had an absolutely amazing time with a lovely choice of hotels and a varied programme of activities and excursions to enjoy. Our driver was so professional and really took brilliant care of us. The people and the food were wonderful but the highlight of the trip has to be the Kerala houseboat overnight stay where we felt like royalty with our own private crew."

"We spent six days on a private tour round Kerala after attending a family wedding near Chennai. We were a bit apprehensive about our first trip to India, but from the very earliest planning stages we were hugely reassured by the advice and information Vimal gave us over the phone.

The trip itself was amazing - great locations, beautiful scenery and a very helpful driver. Just wish we had longer!" 

"We received warm and helpful hospitality throughout the tour, from the hotel staff and from Authentic India Tours. It was great to be met at the airport, taken on excursions and be looked after so well. Highlights of the tour included the tea plantation and museum visit in Munnar, the sunset cruise in Cochin, and seeing the Kerala backwaters by houseboat. I would recommend Authentic India Tours to anyone thinking of visiting Kerala."

"Thanks for everything you did to arrange our tour for us. We had a great time and are sorry that it is now over. Kerala is a wonderful place with so much to see and do. We found everyone helpful and friendly and everything ran extremely smoothly. 

The hotels were all clean, comfortable and the welcome at each was lovely. Our driver was really good, knowledgeable and looked after us well. We had a wonderful time."

"What a brilliant tour! The food was amazing, especially the vegetarian and fish dishes. All the hotels were brilliant, the staff were so friendly and it was great to have our own personal driver. I loved the spice plantation tour and getting to try on a saree. The Village Life experience in Kumarakom is not to be missed - you get to meet the villagers along the backwaters and learn about local crafts and trades."

Once in a lifetime adventure, to be repeated! Vimal and the team organised a fantastic bespoke tailor-made tour of South India and the Andaman Islands, with two weeks notice. We loved the tranquillity of the backwaters houseboat, trekking above the Munnar tea plantations with monkeys and elephants, the hustle and bustle of Chennai and Kochi, and scuba diving & night kayaking with bioluminescent plankton and enjoying the vast unspoilt beaches, voted some of the best in Asia. A must visit!

Vimal organised a wonderful tour of South-East India, including tigers, temples, leopards and palaces! We visited Bangalore, Hassan, Mysore, Kabini, Wayanad, Cochin and Kumarakom and stayed in lots of lovely hotels. We were driven around by the very friendly and helpful Manoj!

Vimal and his team were extremely helpful right from our first enquiry through to ensuring that everything about our trip was perfectly organised. We cannot thank you enough for a wonderful trip. Hari our driver was so courteous and the first week touring the beautiful sites of Kerala was a fantastic introduction to the country. Each of the hotels we stayed in was unique and we had the best level of service every step of the way. We would highly recommend Authentic India Tours for your trip.

The service I received from Vimal was outstanding. Booking was really easy and our tailored holiday was quickly assembled. Communication throughout was prompt and very helpful. Our refund was in the bank within days and Vimal has continued to be really helpful regarding status of our flight. The personal touch makes such a difference to the big tour operators. Would definitely recommend without a shadow of a doubt. [TOUR CANCELLED DUE TO COVID]
