Excellent info with app ( before the holiday). Always very helpful.
Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
Distant Journeys excelled when we were stranded in India following the outbreak of conflict in the middle east. Their, commitment, organisation and communications were first class and they got everyone home safely. On top of that the holidays we have had with Distant Journeys have been fantastic.
The Brahmaputra River and Darjeeling
They are a fantastic company and will definitely travel with them again 200/100. Excellent
Journey Through India
We had an outstanding 26 days in India. We were very well looked after and our guides were both extremely knowledgeable. Outstanding value.My only reason for not giving 5 stars was the lack of free time. We had underestimated the vast distances and would have appreciated a little more time to shop and relax. It was a grand tour and not a holiday.I would not hesitate to recommend this company and tour to anyone looking for a great visit to India.
Grand tour of India
Brilliant tour, excellent staff on the boat.
The Brahmaputra River and Darjeeling
Able to immediately give me a price to fly business class from Manchester. Excellent communication from them during the problems in the middle east and we were extremely well looked after when we couldn't return on our booked flights. Would travel wity them again without hesitation and would thoroughly recommend them.
