Alphonsostories Reviews 33

Deepika and her team curated a wonderful tour of India, not just the Golden Triangle but Ranthombore and Varanasi too. Everything was seamless from airport pick ups to daily tours! We loved our time in India and the Maldives. I highly recommend AlphonsoStories. Can’t wait to try them out in Nepal and Buhtan 🤩

This was my first trip to India and I fell in love with the country and its people. I was part of a small group who toured the Golden Triangle of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Priyanka was available to answer questions, make suggestions and talk to me before I had even arrived. She designed a tour for us that prioritized immersive experiences over simple sightseeing. One of the many highlights was attending a Holi festival. It allowed us to engage with the community which was priceless.

Prateek our guide was wonderful, he went above and beyond to make sure each and every one of us was happy. He shared captivating stories about the sites we visited, which helped bring to life the hidden gems we explored. Because of Prateek, I have left India with a deeper understanding of India's incredibly rich cultural diversity, ancient civilizations, and unique cuisine. I will forever be grateful for this gift

From my first day to the last, Prateek took very good care of me. I was traveling alone and this was my first time to India. I was feeling a bit nervous in a strange city. Prateek always calmed my nerves and made me feel safe and welcomed. I loved the Holi experience, Taj Mahal, the Hindu Temple in Rajasthan, Jaipur. The people were so loving and accepted us all like we're were part of the community. I will definitely come back.

Prateek is the #1 best guide I have experienced. I have traveled around the globe to four continents and dozens of countries, and no one in the world compares to the service Prateek provides. He is kind, humorous, gracious, patient, organized and continuously seeks improvement to the tour real-time. We truly felt VIP treatment under the escort of Prateek, as if he is close to royalty everywhere he goes. This trip could not have been so wonderful without him as our guide. Thank you Prateek! We enjoy your personality and your perpetual smile. Dhanywad, and namaste

Prateek was the best tour guide! He was very patient & he made sure we had the best experience in India!🇮🇳 From the Taj Mahal, to The elephant 🐘 sanctuary, to shopping & drinking tea with locals, & the incredible tours, Prateek is the tour guide to have. We got to experience India in a grand way with his help. A big thanks to Prateek! 😀

To say India is life changing is an understatement. Our tour kept us on our toes with adventures around every turn. A bit exhausting but our guide Prateek made sure everything was exceptional! He’s the one that made our trip truly special. I host 3 retreats a year around the world and I’ve had some wonderful guides, but nothing like Prateek. He made the trip spectacular 🙏🏻 the little details he provided went above and beyond!

Deepika and the team at Alphonso’s stories curated a perfect trip to Kerala and Tamil Nadu. She listened to our requirements basically culinary, cultural and sustainable agriculture. Some relaxation and boutique hotels. Then curated a perfect trip. Organization flawless, driver and guides knowledgeable helpful and prompt. Gorgeous stays where tee often felt we had the best room on the place. Family farms and cooking sessions were fascinating. Would definitely recommend for a seamless personalized trip

Priyanka and the team at Alphonso completely made my trip! I was on a specific journey - to learn about sustainable textile production and traditional practices across India. And they planned the most amazing bespoke trip. They were so attentive to my ideas and worked really collaboratively with me to create something unforgettable. Can't recommend enough!

Person to meet me at every single new destination. Fully comprehensive service.

Our journey with Alphonso Travels was exceptional from beginning to end. What stood out most was the genuine heart and dedication of every single person on their team. The guides were knowledgeable, warm, and deeply connected to the places we visited. They did not just show us locations. They helped us feel the stories, culture, and spirit of each destination. Their presence added richness, safety, and a sense of true companionship throughout our travels.

The choice of hotels and locations was impeccable. Each stay felt intentional, beautifully selected for comfort, authenticity, and access to the best of the region. From serene river views to thoughtfully curated amenities, every environment supported us in resting, integrating, and enjoying the journey. We felt held in luxury, ease, and grounded beauty the entire time.

What I appreciated most was the seamless coordination. Every transfer, every activity, every moment unfolded effortlessly. It was clear that behind the scenes, a team of committed professionals was paying attention to the smallest details. The drivers, the support staff, the coordinators, every person we encountered extended kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality.

Traveling with Alphonso Travels allowed us to focus on the experience itself rather than the logistics. I felt safe, supported, and cared for in a way that is rare in the world of travel. I am deeply grateful for the presence, expertise, and graciousness of this entire team. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alphonso Travels to anyone seeking not just a trip but a beautifully held journey.

I visited India with my husband as part of preliminary planning for a group trip early next year with a group. I have been planning this trip with Priyanka and her team for over a year to curate a particular tour centred on the aromatics of India.

Something I was very keen to explore and specifically wanted to engage with local experts and hosts who would have knowledge and insight unlike any run-of-the-mill tour guides.

The Alphonso team delivered on every step of our tour. The trip was seamless, with local guides in each city we visited, hotels that complemented each stop, and care given to our special requests regarding food allergies, which we were initially pretty concerned about but quickly realised we had absolutely nothing to worry about!

The highlight was the excellent organisation of all the activities and workshops we had worked very hard to curate. Everything went beyond expectations, and the hosts in each were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and an absolute delight to be around.

I would highly recommend Alphonso Stories for curating your dream India trip and providing that extra personal touch.

Priyanka worked with us and helped plan our itinerary keeping in mind our needs and comfort.During the trip there was a small hitch which iwas taken care immediately. I would definitely go with her and recommend them to friends and family.

Working with Priyanka made it easy for us to make our itinerary as to what we wanted to. We enjoyed the havelis we stayed at and the recommendations for restaurants along the way were amazing. I am already looking forward to making my next trip and working with Priyanka again. She has a good team of people working along with her to meet the needs of the travellers.

Visiting Kannauj had been a dream of mine - not as a tourist, but as someone truly passionate about natural perfumes.
I longed for an authentic,meaningful and immersive experience : to follow the flower’s journey from its harvest to the distillation and the perfume.
Alphonsostories truly understood my vision and brought it to life. The hôtel they recommended was exactly what I needed : quiet, clean and with wonderful service; but what touched me the most was the human connection. The people I met, the stories I heard and the experiences I lived went far beyond what I had imagined.
If you are looking for something authentic and carefully crafted, I wholeheartedly recommend Alphonsostories.

We had a really fun and informative evening during our cooking demonstration . I must confess that we were a little dubious as the approach to the venue was very basic but we needn’t have worried.

Our trip to India was amazing, thanks to Alphonso Stories! They made sure our experience was stress free and comfortable, along with filling every day with excitement and unforgettable adventures! I can’t imagine a successful trip without them!

The care & concern for our every need! From airport - the tours - the luxurious hotels - we were constantly being served! And our driver!! He was with us all 10 days & very attentive to anything we asked of him.

I recently had a fantastic experience working with Priyanka to plan a family trip to India, and I cannot share enough great things about my experience. From start to finish, Priyanka was exceptional in every way.

She meticulously selected the perfect places for us to visit and stay, ensuring that each destination was a hit with the entire family. The accommodations were very comfortable and conveniently located, making our stay completely stress-free. The tour guides she arranged were very knowledgeable, friendly, lighthearted, fun and extremely reliable! We enjoyed all of them. We were in great hands throughout our journey.

What truly set Priyanka apart was her availability and flexibility. She was always just a call or message away, ready to accommodate any changes or requests we had. Her dedication to making our trip perfect was evident throughout the entire planning process and during our travels. Whether it was a last-minute change in our itinerary or a special request, she handled everything with kindness, ease, and professionalism.

In addition to her excellent planning skills, Priyanka also provided us with valuable tips and recommendations that enhanced our travel experience. From the best local restaurants to hidden gems off the beaten path, her suggestions were spot on.

I highly recommend Priyanka for anyone looking to plan a memorable and stress-free vacation. Her attention to detail, commitment to our trip, and passion for travel truly set her apart. We will definitely be using her services again for our future travels!

Our 10-day, 9-night adventure across Agra, Jaipur, and Manali was flawlessly executed by Alphonso Stories, creating unforgettable memories.

Agra: Stayed at Courtyard by Marriott, highlighted by a magical sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal.

Jaipur: Relished a royal stay at Samode Haveli, explored Amber Fort and Hawa Mahal, and engaged in cultural activities like a private cycling tour and block printing workshop.

Manali: Stayed at Baragarh Resort & Spa amidst the Himalayas. Activities included serene treks, a temple visit, and witnessing snowfall at Sissu Valley.

Alphonso Stories stood out for their:

Exceptional accommodations tailored to each destination.
Personalized itineraries balancing culture, adventure, and relaxation.
Seamless logistics, ensuring stress-free travel.
Thoughtful details, like surprise treats and customized experiences.

Special thanks to Priyanka, for her meticulous planning and unmatched service.
