Guest Experiences

Served over 23000+ happy travelers

Thanks to Travel XS we have had a wonderful trip. A perfect organization both in the preparation and throughout the trip. We were welcomed at the airport and then always taken into account in a secure and punctual way, by the guides and drivers who were very friendly and attentive. They made sure of our safety throughout the visits and pick-ups at the different hotels. The different class hotels were always very good or beautiful, we were never disappointed. The hotel staff always very friendly. The tours, well organized, were very interesting and well accompanied by the guides. We learned a lot about India and its history.
