Our Hotels for Luxury tours come at 2 pricing levels- Luxury and Opulent.
It is essential you read and review as much to make a decision on the choice of hotels.
Our luxury trips come with the choicest of 5 star hotels or luxury forts, palaces and camps. With a personal meet and greet at time of arrival to your check-in at the hotel, our representative will ensure you settle in well in your new environs. All our Luxury trips come with standard rooms in your selected 5 star hotel with care being taken to provide the hotels that match the international service standards and expectations. While some cities might not have a 5 star, care is taken to provide the best option available in such places.
Our Luxury trips come with a personal guide for each city you visit. A luxury vehicle in form of Toyota Innova is used for all transportation and sightseeing.
Our Opulent trips are for those who want to bask in Luxury. These are the most premium accommodations available coupled with an option to have a personal escort throughout your touring or have individual city guides. From the time you arrive till the time you leave, your personal escort ( or remotely assigned representative, in case you did not select personal escort) will see that all your demands are been met. While our luxury Toyota Van comes standard with all our Opulent Trips, you have the liberty to upgrade transportation to Mercedes S class or BMW for an additional price.
Our Opulent tours also include all domestic flights and entrance charges.
Comfort Trips are designed keeping in mind the guest who wants to have a hotel with all amenities and comfort.The guests who undertake such trips want to enjoy their hotels as well as sightseeing. Comfort is important and they are willing to pay a premium than encounter a surprise in not having what they expected. The guests who opt for Comfort trips are the ones who do not necessarily want to spend on a 5 star but yet want to enjoy more and less the same amenities as premium hotels.
The hotels we choose are well known brands ( international or local), premium boutique hotels or even a luxury homestay, depending on the choice of the guest. The hotels are selected to provide the best experience and mix of luxury and comfort at a price which is much less than our Luxury trips.
