Our Turkey tour covered comprehensively almost all historical sites & touristic cities & towns. Dining in a cave restaurant in Cappadocia and Caravanserai enroute Konya was a novel experience. Meals were good. Hotels in coastal towns were great. Congratulations to Riviera Tours and Travel for a well planned and executed programme.

Johnson & Family,

We were glad we decided to go on a safari tour to Kenya with Riviera Tours and Travel. It was truly awesome. Our stay at Masai Mara was very memorable especially the hot balloon ride at dawn followed by a scrumptious champagne breakfast in the savannahs. This trip was something we are going to savour for a long time especially since we made some really good friends.

Dr. Amul & Family Group,
Ahmedabad

Our tour package needed the wow factor and this is whereRiviera Tours and Travel comes in. It didn’t just have the value for money but also cut down our preparation time by more than 50%!

My experience in Europe was so ethereal that it took me long to come down to earth. I would like to thank Riviera Tours and Travel for providing us an excellent tour.

Mehtas,

Must say that Riviera Tours and Travel arranged our Eastern Europe very thoughtfully... leaving us sufficient free time to do as we pleased. And their hotels,pick ups, Eurail bookings and sightseeing were all up to the mark and handled very efficiently... quite hassle-free really

Mr. Praful & Punyavi Sojitra,
Ahmedabad

Costa Rica has been the holiday of a lifetime for me...I cannot fault the service.

Mr. Liebe ,
Ahmedabad

The highlight of the holiday was without doubt walking the Inca trail. What an experience. Riviera Tours and Travel attention to detail was exactly what we had hoped for. The guides were outstanding in Lima, Cusco and particularly the guide on the Inca trail.

Mr. C N Dave,
Ahmedabad

It was by far and away the best holiday we have had. The Tortilis camp at Amboseli was superb; the Elephant Bedroom camp had the best staff and the tents were beautifully furnished, although the place lacked imagination in how they arranged the dining area. The Governors IlMoran was absolutely superb. Certainly, it is a holiday to do in style and not to try and cut corners. The local agents were totally efficient and we were met on every occasion by helpful smiling personnel.

Mrs. Jensen & Miss Krina,
Ahmedabad

We felt the whole holiday was a wonderful experience and the organisation was excellent. Our guide was amazing, well organised, so efficient and very helpful. Also our driver was fantastic, reliable and remarkable on difficult terrain. The hotels were better than we had anticipated and we are pleased to say we could find no fault with the holiday. We shall certainly be thinking about Riviera Tours and Travel again.

Mr. & Mrs. Nair,
Ahmedabad

We have just returned from our tailor made trip to Ethiopia and absolutely loved it. We had the most marvellous time exploring the churches of Lalibela, the castles of Gonderetc and found it a most rewarding and fascinating experience. Exceeded expectations!

Mr. Sanjay Verma & Family,
Ahmedabad

My wife and I have had a great many holidays in different parts of the world, but this certainly ranks among the best. Thank you once again for your help and patience in organising it.

Dr. Mehul Patel,
Ahmedabad

The itinerary worked perfectly and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who, like us, has a limited amount of time but who wishes to fit in a wide variety of experiences.

Mr. A N Patel & Friends Group,
Ahmedabad

The whole organisation worked incredibly well and we had a most informative and enjoyable visit. Yoshie Matsumoto must be the most outstanding guide in Japan. She was absolutely superb and added a great deal to our enjoyment.

Mr. Ankit Patel,
Ahmedabad

An enjoyable and memorable tour which will remain the 'experience of a lifetime'.

Rotary Friends of Sunil Chawla,
Ahmedabad

We note that your brochures seek to draw the distinction between "low cost" and "value for money", a sentiment we fully endorse. This holiday was not cheap but if ever there was an example of "getting what you pay for" this was it.

Dr. Prakash Doshi & Family,
Ahmedabad

We had a fantastic time in Jordan. Our visits to the sites were thrilling and our care at the hands of the local agents was both corteous and professional.

Mr. Vinod & Ms Jaya,
Ahmedabad

We had the most fantastic time on the Trans-Siberian Express. It far outlived our expectations...the scenery was very different to what we expected but beautiful.

Mr. & Mrs.Joshi,
Ahmedabad
