We’ve worked with Enchanting Travels on more than ten trips now………….many have been 3-5 week adventures that require tremendous attention to detail in remote parts of the world. We have never been disappointed–only incredibly delighted! Anita was amazing to work with for Sri Lanka/Southeast Asia. I had a very specific wish list and she made sure I crossed everything off of it! The itinerary was geared to our interests and the pace we prefer. Divya kept a close eye on us throughout to ensure that things went smoothly. Working with Enchanting for so many years has allowed us to build relationships that increase the quality of our experiences as time goes on. Not only do they know the best places to see throughout the world but now the bonus is that they know US! These trips keep getting better. We run out of superlatives in trying to explain just how outstanding our experiences have been since we started working with Enchanting. As long as we can drag our suitcases to an airport, we will continue to plan meaningful, life changing adventures with them. Many thanks to the entire Enchanting Team for all of the efforts in making this trip so memorable!

The overall experience was absolutely amazing every step of the way. We would like to particularly thank Neethu for her professionalism and thoughtfulness. She anticipated everything and was always one step ahead organizing our comfort. She was responsive even when we called in the middle of the night because I left my wallet on the way to the airport. She traced it and I already received it. We really felt like she was guarding us wherever we were. We are very happy with Enchanting Travels and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wishing to have great experience and a reliable agency. We are delighted to have been under Neethu’s care and oversight and can’t praise her enough.
