Had a great time with all of you. Time passed in the wink of an eye. The weather was fantastic and we could enjoy the beautiful creation of the hand of our loving father. The cruise on Dal lake, the Maple trees, variety of Tulips, snow clad mountains , the activities in the snow the evergreen trees and flowing rivers mesmerised us.
Thank you Hector for incorporating Golden temple at Amritsar and managing to book Gondola rides. The travel by INNOVA vehicles was very comfortable and the drivers were very friendly and helpful. Thank you for all the arrangements. We had a great time

L'Orient travels put together my Agra visit. Every detail was arranged perfectly from airport pick-up to the Hotel and brilliant tour guide. Our Taj Mahal visit was seamless, and the the Agra Fort and rest of the sights were just amazing. I would highly recommend L'Orient travels for all your holiday plans, you will not be disappointed.
Carol K * 2, Agra
Our family had a wonderful and memorable Golden Triangle tour thanks to the first-class arrangements made by Hector and L'Orient Travels. The hotels were excellent, the ride was comfortable and smooth, the driver Dhanraj drove us everywhere safely and skillfully, and the itinerary and visits to monuments went off smoothly. We enjoyed the door-to-door service, the fast track entry to the monuments, the world-class food at the hotels, and having a guide show up on time each day to show us around. Special kudos to our driver Dhanraj and our guide Devendra in Jaipur. The hotel in Agra was top notch, especially the Taj-facing rooms that gave us our first glimpse of the Taj Mahal in the distance. Thank you for arranging that!
Throughout the planning process Hector was an excellent consultant and advised us wisely and honestly, with his deep industry knowledge. During the trip itself he was in touch with us every day, ensuring that all was going well. Our family will treasure the memories of this once in a lifetime trip and will always credit L'Orient Travels for making it so wonderful

On behalf of all of us want to thank Lorient Travels for organising our trip to complete Sikkim, Darjeeling n Kalimpong from 16--28 September 2023. We had a great trip, saw the beauty of Sikkim in all its glory n at times breath takingly scary terrain literally. Darjeeling was a bit of a disappointment except for the spectacular view of the Kanchanjunga right from our verandah. The Mirik trip was a waste of time as the lake was dirty n there was nothing to see. -

Hello Hector,
Thank you very much for asking!!
We are enjoying Jaipur very much. Amer Fort is really magic. Today, we changed a little bit the program and instead of visiting Samode Bagh and Palace we have been to the Hindu temples of Galta, which was near by and very nice and interesting.
I would like to say thank you again to you for the very beautiful program you have chosen and organised. It wad a fantastic and interesting mixture of nature and monuments, without overloading us the first day when arriving with some jet lag from Germany. We really enjoyed the guides which you sent us!
Thank you for everything!!

You could use my comments in any websites or send me links and I will do it for you. Many thanks to "L'orient Travels" for booking my holidays. I had the most amazing two weeks of customized North India trip. I loved their efficient process of keeping me advised of all requirements before and during my trip.Since this was my first solo trip in India, I was pretty nervous about my trip. But within a day or two I realized I was in good hands and I just need to relax and enjoy my trip.Overall I am very impressed with service provided by L'orient Travels and I highly recommend L'orient Travels to all Solo and group travelers.
My special thanks to Hector, President of L'orient Travels.

Good morning to the wonderful Ladakh Group 2021. One of the rare trips after which I dont feel like saying 'great to be home again' Such a delightful vacation we had. The stillness of the Ladakhi geography , the calmness of the locals contrasted beautifully with the warmth and exuberance shared in our group. A very unusual combo of individuals put together effortlessly by Hector and Lynette, we just kind of grew together in Ladakh and shared some priceless joyous moments.
Preeti M

Dieter Bogg, Austria
I wish to add my agreement to what Phillip and Morris stated on their evaluation of the trip. For the services rendered and the price charged, the tour was an excellent trade off on price to value. I appreciate all that you did for us on the trip.
J Mallett USA
I was very pleased with the tour package, except for the hotel in Gaya that I mentioned over the phone. I understand that we booked rather late and with the Dalai Lama in town during our visit, it was difficult to get a good booking. The hotel was not horrible, it just was not at the same level of quality as our other hotels. It certainly made us appreciate the hotels in Kushinagar, Lumbini, and Kathmandu! Our driver, Mizrah, was skilled, safe, friendly, and professional
P Lucas
Your graciousness made the trip incredible. But more importantly your sharing stories about your life, your — of modern India have really added to –. Thanks so much.
