Reviews from travellers on this tour

Courtney Fairweather

Central India Wildlife Tour

17-Apr-24

I had to cancel the tour for personal reasons. This review is in praise of the thoughtful and understanding treatment that I received from Sunil at Alkof. He spend a lot of time explaining everything to me before and booked. Then, when I had to cancel, he was sympathetic and refunded my deposit. I've travelled a great deal and there are many tour operators who are untrustworthy. Alkof has shown itself to be honest and reliable.

Kerala Ayurveda Tour

16-Mar-23

This February, I with my group of 8 other people visited the Kerala Ayurveda Tour with Alkof Holidays, It was a journey unlike any other. Spanning across the picturesque landscapes of Kochi, Munnar, Thekkady, Alleppey Backwaters, and culminating in the tranquil haven of Kovalam, this journey offered a perfect blend of cultural immersion and wellness indulgence. Alkof Holidays orchestrated an impeccable itinerary that allowed us to delve into the vibrant tapestry of Kerala's diverse attractions. From the colonial charm of Kochi to the mist-covered hills of Munnar, each destination captivated us with its unique allure and rich heritage. The tour was seamlessly curated to ensure that we experienced the essence of each place, from spice plantations in Thekkady to the serene backwaters of Alleppey. Amidst our travels, the highlight undoubtedly awaited us in Kovalam, where Alkof Holidays orchestrated a transformative Ayurveda experience. Nestled along the sun-kissed shores, we were enveloped in a realm of holistic healing and rejuvenation. The Ayurvedic treatments, personalized to our needs, were a testament to Kerala's ancient wellness traditions, leaving us feeling refreshed and revitalized. Throughout our journey, Alkof Holidays' commitment to excellence was unwavering. From luxurious accommodations to seamless logistics, every detail was meticulously arranged to ensure our utmost comfort and satisfaction. The attentive care of their team made us feel truly valued, enhancing our overall experience. As we bid farewell to Kerala, we carried with us cherished memories and a profound sense of well-being, grateful for the opportunity to embark on this enriching journey with Alkof Holidays. For anyone seeking an unforgettable exploration of Kerala's splendor coupled with a rejuvenating Ayurveda experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Alkof Holidays. Thank You..

Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi

05-Mar-23

Our trip to India was great. Everything was super well organized, the guides and drivers were super punctual. The guides were very good at imparting their knowledge. We learned a lot about Indian history, religion, food and of course the forts, temples etc. We felt safe and secure at all times. Many thanks to the Alkof Holidays team, drivers, guides. I definitely recommend going on a tour with them and if I ever visit India again, I will use their services myself.

Taj Temples and Tigers India Tour

11-Jan-23

I had a fantastic time in India. Everything was very well planned and organised. I managed to see the tigers but also so much more. I had two different drivers during my stay and a separate tour guide in each city I visited. I would highly recommend visiting India with Alkof Holidays.

Mary Carmen Torres

Excellent tour

16-Apr-23

Excellent tour, all the staff were always concerned about our safety and comfort. The guides were very helpful in getting to know each place, especially the guide from Jaipur whose English was very good and adapted according to our interests. The attention and assistance of the driver was key to having a good experience, Nandu always worried about us until the last day. I suggest they could have more restaurant options for each location, since the quality in some of them was not very good (Agra and Jaipur). But overall we had a very good experience. We are very grateful for the service received.

Magnificent place and friendly people

26-Jan-24

Visiting Taj Mahal is one of best activities in the itinerary of our trip to India. It is worth to visit despite of the long line (about 2 hours) waiting to enter the Mahal. We learnt history, culture, and religion of this mysterious and attractive country. We must thank Alkof Holiday who arranged everything for us - picking us from Delhi airport, driving to hotel, to various famous landmarks, arranging good tour guides. It's our first time to visit India. Alkof Holiday made our trip stress-free. We want to come back again.
