General Customer Comments• I have had many travel experiences with agencies over the last 30 years and few (even those claiming specialist status) have given such good advice and service. Peter A - India Travel Plan• We felt that we really experienced a flavour of true Thailand that will stay with us for a long time. We saw and experienced much more than we would have if we travelled on our own. It was interesting and varied, with breathing space between activities, and air conditioned transport when needed. Sue - Thailand Travel Plan • The company is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Working in an office, the email contact made life very simple. Andreas - Vietnam Travel Plan • We were able to relax and enjoy our holiday thanks to the excellent planning and preparation by South Africa Travel Plan and the local guides. And not forgetting…the wonderful selection of accommodation. Lots of oohhs and aahhhs every time we entered a new location! Melanie - South Africa Travel Plan • It couldn't have been better. Our guide was with us every step of the way. He was friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel at home. I plan to use this firm again for other exotic travels because this worked out so well. Very pleased in California, USA. Dan - Thailand Travel Plan • This was one of the best holidays we have had in years. Every day was an adventure and a real eye opener. The logistics were all operated immaculately. The car was always there. Everything went like clockwork. We may have been on the move everyday but we enjoyed it all and really felt like we had been away when we came back. I would definitely consider going back to another area of India and I would come to you for the trip as a first choice. Jerry - India Travel Plan |

• We were very happy with planning of our itinerary and the way in which you work together with the local agent. Everything was well-organised and well-coordinated, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to just enjoy everything this trip had to offer. What a contrast to back home; the colours, the friendly people, music, culture, nature. We enjoyed all of it and didn’t get bored or disappointed for even a second! Engles Family - Mexico Travel Plan • Loved it - it was a perfect mix of sight-seeing and relaxation! Everyone looking to book their first trip to Thailand should definitely go through Thailand Travel Plan - they helped us enormously and took away all the stress of booking things ourselves. Thank you! - Katie - Thailand Travel Plan • Hazyview, the waterfalls, Blyde river canyon, potholes, everything we did was without exception, unique. In our opinion everyone should experience this. The accommodation was lovely too. On our return home we discovered one of our daughters had lost a skirt and after a couple of emails they found it there. They simply mailed it to us here in Belgium free of charge. Now that’s what you call service. Marc - South Africa Travel Plan • Friendly, helpful and efficient. We were never kept waiting and the connections were all handled seamlessly, very pleasing when you are travelling a lot and as a result tired. Being looked after all the way. Not have to think about how to get from A to B and where to be for trips. Without this there would have been more stress. . . . So much more to see and not enough time. Oh dear we will have to return! Mike - India Travel Plan |

• Excellent service. Needed to combine business with pleasure so needed flexibility. Richard J - India Travel Plan • Everything went smoothly and was just what we had hoped and planned for. Talk about variety! From a simple city hotel in Playa del Carmen to the picturesque hotel in the tiny fishing village San Felipe, then a beautiful hacienda in Chichen Itza and the crisp & clean beach cabana in Tulum, it was always and exciting surprise and above all lots of fun. Thanks again for your great travel suggestions and excellent organization!Willy B - Mexico Travel Plan • It was all very good and we have valued the whole experience. All the accommodation was lovely as well. Sophie - Thailand Travel Plan • Mixture of pre-planned structure and independence/freedom. From the web contact at the beginning to the efficient services on the trip, we always received first class individual treatment, but had space to do our own thing. The hotels were mostly distinctive and comfortable, and even though we went to tourist hotspots we also spent some time away from too many Westerners. I would definitely use India Travel Plan again for this type of holiday - it was brilliant and a lot better than we could have organised by ourselves. Thank you very much. John W - India Travel Plan • Really enjoyed our Holiday. Organisation went very smoothly, so we could concentrate on enjoying ourselves and not worry about itinerary. Right balance between organisation/guide and independance. P Gowtage - China Travel Plan |

• Totally excellent, helpfulness of staff and a suitable itinerary at a fair price. Chris D - India Travel Plan • We’re very glad we didn’t go on a group trip like we initially planned. The accommodation was excellent, lots of variety and worthy of praise every time. Everything was perfectly organised, bungalows etc. were clean and tidy, the trip offered plenty of variety and was spectacular. So all in all, thanks to you we had an unforgettable South-Africa experience and this definitely won’t be our last visit. Karin - South Africa Travel Plan • The layout of the trips worked well. I was not keen to have a full tour group holiday where i stay with the same people the whole time. I was travelling on my own and the travel plan gave me the freedom to do what i wanted at certain times and the group activities allowed me to meet additional people and see some of the main sights. Andreas - Vietnam Travel Plan • Normally do it ourselves but was finding India in low season difficult to do - so enlisted India Travel Plan to help! Good – easy to use, everything went to plan. Caroline - India Travel Plan |
Local Staff and Service• Exceptional. We had regular contact which was always very quick, we had all the information we needed as soon as we asked for it (although quite often we didn't even need to ask!) Both north and south India were fantastic and equally well organised. The driver in the north was great - he really made the trip in the north a fantastic experience. His English was actually a lot better than some of the guides and he told us so much about Indian culture and places of interest during the journeys. We really hope this feedback is passed on! Catherine & Simon - India Travel Plan• Fantastic! We got such a warm welcome and were totally pampered during our stay at the bushcamp. Because it was so quiet they were able to give us all their attention. We went on 4 (!) game drives and saw all the animals (more like the big 25 rather than big 5). • I think they're excellent, I was really impressed. Jonathan - Thailand Travel Plan • Excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, who were all very helpful and charming. Michael D - Thailand Travel Plan • Being met at Xi an station by the hotel bellhops in full regalia with gleaming brass luggage trolley was a magic moment. J Robinson - China Travel Plan |

Rickshaw Travel Country Specialists• Emily was our contact and she was really great! Helped with all my email enquiries (!) and we were very pleased with our itinerary - thanks Emily! Katie B - Thailand Travel Plan• Jennifer was very helpful and accommodating when we wanted to change certain aspects of our trip. I've already recommended your services to other friends who were thinking of travelling to Vietnam. Nicola - Vietnam Travel Plan • The website was appealing but it was really Arida's itinerary that made the decision, we were sent several plans but hers was so detailed, very enthusiastic and personable which made it an easy choice! She happily altered the plan to suit our dates and booked us very convenient flights. As mentioned above, it really sold the company and your service. Unlike some, the website's enthusiasm and insight into India was backed up by Arida. Very flexible approach and great value. Catherine & Simon - India Travel Plan • Jim, thanks again to you and your Thai supplier for working so hard to get everything booked for us over the weekend - we're so grateful to you for helping us save our holiday at such short notice. Ailsa M - Thailand Travel Plan |

Kim - Thailand Travel Plan • Bryony bent over backwards to get the itinerary right for us. Mike H - India Travel Plan • Jennifer, we really want to thank you personally for your organisation and professionalism in supporting all our little requests and playing your part in giving us an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever.
