Let’s hope the holiday goes as smoothly

Kevin was great with us! We made an error on our booking & we expected this to cost us a fortune. We were reassured and Kevin helped us get our dream holiday to the maldives within our budget to the dates & itinerary we wanted
Thanks again & we can't wait

"This 18 day tour of South India was our best holidya ever"
My Husband and I have just returned from an 18-day tour of south India with Affordable Luxury Travel – it was our best holiday ever. Five stars to ALT for organising such an amazing trip!
Firstly, South India (we went to Chennai, Mamallapuram, Pondicherry, Madurai, Thekkady, Munnar, Kumarakom, Alleppey and Cochin) was one of the most geographically diverse, beautiful, and culturally – rich places we have ever visited with some to the world’s most breathtaking UNESCO sites, ancient temples, verdant landscapes, plethora of fauna and flora. From the misty mountains of the Western Ghats to the Urban Beaches, chaotic cities, silent backwaters, endless tea, fruit and cardamom plantations - not forgetting the tiger reserve at Periyar lake, there is something for everyone. We loved the diversity and beauty of it all. Each place was other-worldly.
Our holiday was made perfect by our very own driver, Rohit. Rohit met us at the airport and was with us though the whole trip as our private driver, we travelled in a very comfortable and spacious air-conditioned SUV. Nothing was too much trouble for Rohit – he was knowledgeable of every place we visited and would always find what we were looking for – whether it was somewhere to convert currency, a fine dining restaurant, a jewellers, a laundry, or medical supplies. With good command of the English language, he was very supportive in translating for us and being a mediator when shopping or speaking with locals. Rohit was truly one of the most humble, helpful, and friendly people we have ever met- and he made us feel safe wherever we visited.
Our tour with ALT was good value for money and inclusive of excursions, entrance fees and even a personal guide at many of the UNESCO sites and attractions we visited – each guide was local to the area and a subject matter expert in the place we were visiting. Because we had a private tour, we could alter the itinerary as we wanted – so added optional visits to an Elephant Sanctuary, Ayurveda Spas, Shopping were all things we were able to do with Rohit’s help.
Our hotels were all fantastic – if I were to repeat the trip again I would probably opt not to visit the same hotel in Pondicherry – Le Pondy as we felt the service was slow and the food wasn’t great (luke warm buffet) - although dinner was included in our package we decided to eat out. Our favourite hotels were Rhythm at Kumarakom and The Grand Bay Resort and Spa at Mahabalipuram. Oh, and Tall Trees at Munnar.
Some tips from us: 1. get your laundry done in a local laundry before you return home - its incredibly low cost. 2. When in the jungle and forest region of Thekkady, visit Kalpavanam Elephant Park - elephant rides and you even get to feed and have a shower with an elephant! 3. When in Alleppey on your amazing private houseboat overnight, ask your captain to visit a seafood market and choose your own fish for the on-board chef to cook for you! 4. When in Cochin, Visit Jew Town with its quaint shops and market area. 5. When in Pondicherry, visit a French restaurant called Maison Rose – fine dining where Fillet Steak will cost you around £7! 6. Either in Cochi, Munnar or Madurai, a visit to the Indian Theatre and Dance of Kathakali and the Martial Arts called Kalari Kshethra is an absolute must – and the ticket price is included in the tour! 7. Treat yourself to an Ayurvedic massage which is prevalent across all of south India – a 90-minute massage will cost about £45. You get one 60 minute massage included in your package.
We will definitely be using Affordable Luxury Travel when we book our 2027 tour of North India!

"5-Star Review for Steven"
5-Star Review for Steven
Steven was absolutely amazing in helping us book our honeymoon to Thailand! From the start, he was incredibly attentive and made sure every detail was perfect. Despite us booking quite late, he was flexible with the payment options, which made the whole process stress-free. He really took the time to understand what we wanted and tailored everything to suit our needs. The level of care and attention he provided made our honeymoon truly special. We couldn’t have asked for better service—highly recommend Steven and Affordable Luxury Travel for anyone looking for a seamless, personalised travel experience!

"Well I have had the pleasure of Jazz…"
Well I have had the pleasure of Jazz organising my holiday, I started off with a basic email and was offered a 3 part holiday, when I looked at it I didnt really like the elements - at this stage Jazz had made contact, I explained a very short brief and gave her a budget, not only did she 'hear' me, but she gave me everything I needed and more all within budget, we are going on a bucket list holiday and everything has been arranged perfectly as shes only at the end of a whatsapp if I need anything, which I did today and she replied within seconds to make some last minute upgrades I decided I wanted to add, thank you Jazz you've been amazing
