India Holiday Reviews

"The guides were all excellent" - Feb 2020
I think the three highlights were the houseboat in Kerala, utterly peaceful with a constant panorama of life on the bank, the Taj Mahal which really is as bountiful as they say. And on the final safari in Ranthambhore, we came upon the magnificent female tiger (pictured). She eyeballed us from about twenty feet or so then lay down on the track and rolled around just like our domestic cat. Then as we were leaving the park we came upon another female and her grown up daughters, on the ridge immediately above the roadway, casually indifferent to the chaos they were causing below.
"We had a superb holiday" - Jan 2020
I just wanted to say that we had a superb holiday in India. Thankyou so much for all the hard work you put into sorting it all out for us.
"Thank you for arranging such a great trip" - Nov 2019
All the arrangements for our holiday went extremely well. All the accommodation was wonderful and individual and we loved the variety. The real star of our holiday was our outstanding driver Hardial, he drove us from Shimla until the train departure at Amritsar and was brilliant.
"All in all a holiday we will never forget" - Nov 2019
We had a fantastic holiday. We loved India and all the places we stayed and visited. The organisation of the whole trip from arrival in India could not have gone more smoothly. Our driver was delightful and made the whole experience even more relaxing.
"We have had an amazing, wonderful trip" - Nov 2019
We have had an amazing, wonderful trip, and it was great fun. There is no part of the trip that we felt should have been left out. The archeological sights were awe-inspiring. We saw 3 tigers in various sightings at Ranthambore ....we saw one stalking a deer; so exciting!
"We felt completely at ease and looked after" - Oct 2019
At all times the communication was excellent, we felt completely at ease and looked after and can't fault the overall service.
"We have had a fabulous holiday" - Nov 2018
We have had a fabulous holiday and felt extremely well cared for throughout. We had an excellent driver who was always reliable, pleasant and a very considerate driver both to us and other road users, and the day visit to the tea plantation was a highlight of our holiday - very interesting and enjoyable with a great guide.
"It all worked like a dream" - Nov 2018
We had a superb holiday and we were very grateful for all the arrangements you and your partners in India put in place for us - it all worked like a dream. Many thanks for all you did to make the holiday such an enjoyable experience for us.
"Thoroughly enjoyed it" - Nov 2018
We had a very good trip and our driver was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
"I am left desperate to return!" - Oct 2018
A huge thank you for arranging an amazing trip. We loved Kerala! It’s so lush and green and everything is so intensely colourful from the clothes to the buildings to the boats and the flowers. We adored Ronnie who was a good driver but so informative and we spent hours chatting about our differing approaches to life. I am sure this is a gentle introduction to India and now I am left desperate to return!
"Could not be better" Mar 2018
Jenna and Jessie both exemplary agents. Amazingly professional in what they produced for us and the day to day handling of the booking was fantastic. Could not be better.... We enjoyed all accommodation and the mix of types of accommodation. Narlai the firm favourite with everyone in our party.
"Our holiday was a huge success" - Mar 2018
Our holiday was a huge success and exceeded our expectations. We had all the help and advice we required from Fleewinter to ensure that our holiday went without any hitches.
"Completely fab trip in every way" - Feb 2018
A really great trip, thank you for organising it so meticulously. The bike ride in Udaipur was really great. We cycled up into the mountains, but it was not difficult, and stopped at local village houses, farms and schools... it was great and really wished we had booked a whole day!
"Couldn't have asked for any better" Dec 2017
We just arrived back from our fabulous Kerala trip and I wanted to extend a huge thanks on behalf of all our group for helping us to arrange such a wonderful vacation! We have returned filled with enthusiasm for Kerala and all the places we visited. Both your recommendations of accommodation were top notch and all the logistics, transfers and activities planned ran very smoothly.  Couldn’t have asked for any better! I was a little nervous about taking such a big group to India with such diverse interests (age range 10 years to 80 years), but delighted to share that everyone thoroughly enjoyed it
"You got it just right for us" - Nov 2017
Thank you for this message. We are now home safe and sound! I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you did to make our holiday so special! It was just amazing and all your recommendations were absolutely perfect. You got it just right for us!!! Such an adventure and I have certainly fallen in love with India! Thank you again for all your efforts and the thought you put into making our trip so wonderful!!!
"All our arrangements worked out perfectly" - Apr 2017
All our arrangements worked out perfectly with no delays or mishaps and we loved the hotels, in all their variety. For me personally the best bit was the bicycle rickshaw ride round Old Delhi - totally amazing.
"Fleewinter exceeded all expectations" - Mar 2017
When travelling alone especially in India, it is vital to ensure all travel documentation is correct. Connections are met and accommodation and transportation organised. Without doubt, Fleewinter exceeded all my expectations. Contact in India was superb and it was a pleasure and delight to meet Mr and Miss Malik who were my trusted contacts in India. I've travelled all over the world and used many organisations, however, there is no doubt in my mind that I would return again and again to Fleewinter.
"Absolutely first class experience" - Mar 2017
Fleewinters Jessie & Jenna put together a tailor made itinerary for our first holiday to India, a tour of Kerala. After weeks of scouring web sites and holiday brochures we chose the package put together by Jessie and Jenna. Their attention to detail and knowledgeable advice delivered an absolutely first class experience. I coordinated the booking of the holiday for my wife and I and our 2 friends. We all enjoyed everything that was planned for us and the flexibility to easily tweak things on a daily basis if required. The agents, drivers and accommodations arranged for us in Kerala were all outstanding and provided for our every need and exceeded our expectations. Everyday of our 2 week holiday went like clockwork. We can wholeheartedly recommend Fleewinter and won't hesitate to contact them again to arrange future holidays. Thanks ladies.
"Everything worked like clockwork" - Feb 2017
Just to say thanks for organising our trip to India. We have returned refreshed and rejuvenated after a great trip. Everything worked like clockwork and we loved the whole thing - it felt like 2 holidays in one - a week on Havelock being a complete contrast to our first week in the Golden Triangle. Lots of positives and very few negatives.
"Life changing experience" - Dec 2016
We would like to say thank you very much for a great holiday and good organisation - we enjoy very much. We would recommended to our friends. Life changing experience.
Delhi
The gateway to many north India trips, Old and New Delhi are full of history and charm and it is an exciting place to explore. More
Agra
Agra is home to one of the most iconic buildings in the world, the Taj Mahal. Visiting this monument at sunrise is a truly magical once in a lifetime experience, and one that must not be missed. More
Jaipur
The capital city of Rajasthan, Jaipur is a riot of colour and rich in fascinating history. Stroll around the magnificent Amber Fort and marvel at the intricate facade of the Palace of the Winds. More
Ranthambore National Park
Search for the majestic Tiger and enjoy the peaceful landscape of rural Rajasthan. Fantastic accommodation options and a high population of Tigers makes Ranthambore a brilliant addition to north India tours for wildlife enthusiasts! More
Jodhpur
The blue hue of the city's old town, imposing Mehrangarh Fort and bustling markets makes Jodhpur one of the most colourful and characterful cities in Rajasthan. A selection of properties ranging from rustic traditional Haveli's to luxurious palaces make for a wonderful stay. The Blue City is the perfect backdrop for atmospheric photographs, so be sure to keep your camera handy! More
Jaisalmer
Known as The Golden City, and for good reason. Jaisalmer city and Fort rises out of the honey hued sands of the Thar Desert, and along with elaborate and intricate architecture it is one of the most atmospheric cities in north India. A camel ride into the surrounding dunes for a night under the stars completes the magical experience. More
Udaipur
The romantic lake-side city of Udaipur has a more relaxed pace than other cities, so is the perfect last stop on any Rajasthan tours. The picturesque Lake Pichola, the iconic Lake Palace, seemingly floating in the water, and the stunning hillside as the backdrop create the perfect setting for a lazy evening, cold beverage in hand, watching the sunset. More
Mumbai
Vibrant and exciting, Mumbai is a city of extremes. The home of Bollywood and the rich and famous, it is also home to one of the largest slums in Asia, Dharavi. A tour around Mumbai highlights the iconic monuments and rich culture, and gives a wonderful opportunity to get under the skin of the city and gain an insight into local life. More
Goa
Beaches lined with colourful shacks, golden sands, tropical Palm Trees and a relaxed, bohemian vibe is what you can expect to find in Goa. Head to north Goa for more of a buzz, central Goa to explore the relaxed capital of Panjim, and the less built-up south for a little more seclusion and peace. More
Fort Cochin
Relaxed and historic Fort Cochin is a wonderful place to explore, enjoying the beautiful sights of the Chinese fishing nets, colourful fishing boats lining the shore, coconut stalls sitting under the dappled sunlight and, if you're lucky, the odd sighting of the river Dolphin. More
Munnar
Travel inland from Kerala's tropical coast and you discover the hill station of Munnar, nestled within lush green tea plantations and breathtaking scenery. Spend your time walking through the country side and enjoying the view, learning how tea is picked and processed and gaining an insight into the local way of life in the hills. More
Thekkady
Thekkady is the location of Periyar National Park, a must for wildlife enthusiasts visiting Kerala. Enjoy Jungle treks into the park and keep your eyes peeled for Sambar Deer, Giant Squirrels, Monkeys and Wild Boar amongst impressive bird life. More
The Backwaters
Experiencing life on the backwaters is often a highlight of trips to Kerala. Drift down the waterways on a traditional Houseboat, or choose from a number of wonderful properties to stay in to enjoy this serene way of life, a total contrast from Indian cities. More
Marari Beach
The beautiful and peaceful Marari Beach is a wonderful way to end a trip in Kerala, relaxing on the vast golden sands and dipping your toes in the warm Arabian ocean. The setting of Kerala's tropical coastline is the perfect relaxing end to a tour of this region where you can just enjoy the surrounding nature. More
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands
You can expect to find stunning white sand beaches, azure waters, world class diving and exotic jungle on these remote islands in the Bay of Bengal. It can be a little more of a challenge to reach the islands, but it is more than worth it for the secluded tropical hideaway that awaits. More
Wayanad
The alluring rainforest covered mountains of Wayanad are spectacular and a must for nature lovers. Home to coffee and spice plantations, it makes a wonderful scenic change from the exotic beaches and tranquil waterways found on the coast of northern Kerala. More
Nileshwar
Nileshwar in northern Kerala is home to a beautiful coastline and peaceful waterways. Less touched by tourism than elsewhere in India, visitors to this region benefit from an off the beaten track experience of traditional houseboat cruises and village life on the waters edge. More
Varanasi
Located on the banks of the sacred River Ganges, Varanasi is one of Hinduism's seven holy cities. An incredibly spiritual, historic and culturally rich city, a visit to Varanasi never fails to be a memorable one. Witness daily rituals on the water's edge and navigate the tangle of narrow lanes weaving through the city, too narrow for cars to pass through. More
Lucknow
Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh and full of magnificent architecture and fascinating history. The city is also very well known for it's delicious cuisine, unique to the region. More
