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.

Short Trip to Kashmir

01-Apr-24

We recently visited Kashmir for 5 days, and had a very good experience there. Kashmir is very beautiful, people are very friendly. The itinerary was well planned, tour was well organized and expertly managed by alkof holidays. We can recommend them.

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.

Daisy

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.

Debra, USA

Bandhavgarh Kanha Pench Tour

22-Oct-22

Our family had a customized tour that included all three national parks for tiger safaris as well as the traditional golden triangle tour. We had 2 different drivers during the tour that picked us up at the airport or drove us to the next location. The drivers were always early, extremely friendly and helpful, and the cars were immaculate. We stayed at six different hotels that were picked out for us. They were all very nice and I would stay at them again. The guides at each location were very knowledgeable and friendly. The company itself stayed in contact with me throughout the trip to make sure I did not need anything. I would highly recommend this company. This tour was much more flexible and convenient than participating in a group tour where everyone has to keep up with a group pace.

Marcel Merlo

Escorted Kashmir Ladakh Tour Package

23-Oct-23

I enjoyed my trip immensely. every day was wonderfully beautiful. Everything went perfectly, without any problems. My stay in Ladakh was especially wonderful. I would like to thank my driver/guide Sharif. It was a pleasure to travel with him. He was a very good driver, but also a very good and caring guide. If I could visit another part of Ladakh next year in July or August, I would definitely want to do so, possibly in combination with the Indian Himalayas. I would also like to thank Alkof Tours for the good organization and good follow-up of my trip. Marcel Merlo Belgium
