I’ve recently returned from a wonderful holiday to India with The Travel Department — perfectly organised from start to finish. Flights, transfers, hotels and food were all excellent.Our guide, Anurag, was outstanding. His explanations of India’s history, culture and traditions were fascinating, and his timing and organisation made every day effortless. He looked after everyone with genuine care, humour and professionalism — I always felt completely safe and well cared for.Special thanks to Rajendra (driver) and Satchin (bus assistant) for their hard work and kindness.Highlights included Diwali celebrations, a tiger safari, the rickshaw ride and, of course, the breathtaking Taj Mahal and other historic sites.A superb trip and highly recommended!
We re bigTD fans having had the most amazing South Africa trip previously , amazing scenery , every day an adventure finished off with incredible safari . Unfortunately Sri Lanka did not come anywhere near .Sri Lanka began badly with a 10 minute trip to a fishing village ,where the smell put us off fish for the trip ,followed by a sleep in the hotel lobby as we waited for rooms to be made ready , surely we could have visited somewhere nearby whilst this was happening, the next days became a Temple fest ( 5 I think) and we Became truly templed out , this needs looking at ,and reducing ,as all were very similar , hotels were lovely , food looked amazing at both breakfast and dinner times ,buffet style , but was Luke warm at best in all venues bar the Blackpool Hotel ,these meals became something to be got through and not the pleasurable experience you would expect ,the days were long with dense forestation on both sides of the road and little to see. I was really looking forward to the safari part but again the dense vegetation meant little to see for long periods and nothing like our South African adventure, We’re now home yesterday and personally I’m quite disappointed with the trip ,
FANTASTIC. This was our first trip with Travel Dept. We were pleased to have everything arranged which meant we got to experience so much more. No worries about tickets, transport, times, etc. We had 35 people in our group. Our group had several seasoned Travel Dept.(TD) customers who travelled with TD several times before. They highly recommended TD, which was very reassuring.This was a full-on trip with early starts but had to be to fit in everything. Be prepared for experiences to test your senses and emotions. But there were opportunities for down time also.Our guide was Gertie who was so great! She really brought group together. As she lived in area she could give a lot of tips, info, recommendations. She arranged a GP visit for one guest who fell ill. She left no one behind.Solomon, our driver, made journeys safe and comfortable. He felt like part of our group.Our safari stay was as Kariega Game Reserve. After a visit here we probably won't visit a zoo again. AK was our driver, so informative, knowledgeable and pointed out BIG and small game. There were 2 drives daily - 06.00 and 15.00- for 4 hours. Forget late nights. Always wear layers, cool mornings soon become warm.Advice: Experience everything. Wear layers. Take enough memory for photos. Cash & card are good. ENJOY the trip.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, good humoured and interesting. The trips were well organised and she gave us good suggestions for free day activities. My only quibble with the holiday was the shuttle bus service provided by the hotel. To call it organised chaos would be kind!
Our holiday with the Travel Department was very enjoyable. Our tour guide Helena was very friendly and well informed on the history of each place we visited. Our driver was excellent. The hotel was very comfortable, luxurious even. The food was tasty with plenty of choice. The staff in the hotel were courteous and helpful. If I could offer a suggestion it would be that we could do with a little less history and a little more time to explore on our own.
