General Customer Comments

• I have had many travel experiences with agencies over the last 30 years and few (even those claiming specialist status) have given such good advice and service. Peter A - India online

• We felt that we really experienced a flavour of true Thailand that will stay with us for a long time. We saw and experienced much more than we would have if we travelled on our own. It was interesting and varied, with breathing space between activities, and air conditioned transport when needed. Sue - Thailand online

The company is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Working in an office, the email contact made life very simple. Andreas - Vietnam online

We were able to relax and enjoy our holiday thanks to the excellent planning and preparation by South Africa online and the local guides. And not forgetting…the wonderful selection of accommodation. Lots of oohhs and aahhhs every time we entered a new location! Melanie - South Africa online

• It couldn't have been better. Our guide was with us every step of the way. He was friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel at home. I plan to use this firm again for other exotic travels because this worked out so well. Very pleased in California, USA. Dan - Thailand online

This was one of the best holidays we have had in years. Every day was an adventure and a real eye opener. The logistics were all operated immaculately. The car was always there. Everything went like clockwork. We may have been on the move everyday but we enjoyed it all and really felt like we had been away when we came back. I would definitely consider going back to another area of India and I would come to you for the trip as a first choice. Jerry - India online

Hidden Paradise - Thailand online

Dharamsala - India online
We were very happy with planning of our itinerary and the way in which you work together with the local agent. Everything was well-organised and well-coordinated, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to just enjoy everything this trip had to offer. What a contrast to back home; the colours, the friendly people, music, culture, nature. We enjoyed all of it and didn’t get bored or disappointed for even a second! Engles Family - Mexico online

Loved it - it was a perfect mix of sight-seeing and relaxation! Everyone looking to book their first trip to Thailand should definitely go through Thailand online - they helped us enormously and took away all the stress of booking things ourselves. Thank you! - Katie - Thailand online

Hazyview, the waterfalls, Blyde river canyon, potholes, everything we did was without exception, unique. In our opinion everyone should experience this. The accommodation was lovely too. On our return home we discovered one of our daughters had lost a skirt and after a couple of emails they found it there. They simply mailed it to us here in Belgium free of charge. Now that’s what you call service.
Marc - South Africa online

• Friendly, helpful and efficient. We were never kept waiting and the connections were all handled seamlessly, very pleasing when you are travelling a lot and as a result tired. Being looked after all the way. Not have to think about how to get from A to B and where to be for trips. Without this there would have been more stress. . . . So much more to see and not enough time. Oh dear we will have to return! Mike - India online
• Excellent service. Needed to combine business with pleasure so needed flexibility. Richard J - India online

Everything went smoothly and was just what we had hoped and planned for. Talk about variety! From a simple city hotel in Playa del Carmen to the picturesque hotel in the tiny fishing village San Felipe, then a beautiful hacienda in Chichen Itza and the crisp & clean beach cabana in Tulum, it was always and exciting surprise and above all lots of fun. Thanks again for your great travel suggestions and excellent organization!Willy B - Mexico online

It was all very good and we have valued the whole experience. All the accommodation was lovely as well. Sophie - Thailand online

• Mixture of pre-planned structure and independence/freedom. From the web contact at the beginning to the efficient services on the trip, we always received first class individual treatment, but had space to do our own thing. The hotels were mostly distinctive and comfortable, and even though we went to tourist hotspots we also spent some time away from too many Westerners. I would definitely use India online again for this type of holiday - it was brilliant and a lot better than we could have organised by ourselves. Thank you very much. John W - India Travel Plan
• Totally excellent, helpfulness of staff and a suitable itinerary at a fair price. Chris D - India online

We’re very glad we didn’t go on a group trip like we initially planned. The accommodation was excellent, lots of variety and worthy of praise every time. Everything was perfectly organised, bungalows etc. were clean and tidy, the trip offered plenty of variety and was spectacular. So all in all, thanks to you we had an unforgettable South-Africa experience and this definitely won’t be our last visit. Karin - South Africa online

The layout of the trips worked well. I was not keen to have a full tour group holiday where i stay with the same people the whole time. I was travelling on my own and the online gave me the freedom to do what i wanted at certain times and the group activities allowed me to meet additional people and see some of the main sights. Andreas - Vietnam online

Normally do it ourselves but was finding India in low season difficult to do - so enlisted India online to help! Good – easy to use, everything went to plan. Caroline - India online


Local Staff and Service

• Exceptional. We had regular contact which was always very quick, we had all the information we needed as soon as we asked for it (although quite often we didn't even need to ask!) Both north and south India were fantastic and equally well organised. The driver in the north was great - he really made the trip in the north a fantastic experience. His English was actually a lot better than some of the guides and he told us so much about Indian culture and places of interest during the journeys. We really hope this feedback is passed on! Catherine & Simon - India online

• Fantastic! We got such a warm welcome and were totally pampered during our stay at the bushcamp. Because it was so quiet they were able to give us all their attention. We went on 4 (!) game drives and saw all the animals (more like the big 25 rather than big 5).

• I think they're excellent, I was really impressed. Jonathan - Thailand online

• Excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, who were all very helpful and charming. Michael D - Thailand online

Rickshaw Travel Country Specialists

• Emily was our contact and she was really great! Helped with all my email enquiries (!) and we were very pleased with our itinerary - thanks Emily! Katie B - Thailand online

Jennifer was very helpful and accommodating when we wanted to change certain aspects of our trip. I've already recommended your services to other friends who were thinking of travelling to Vietnam. Nicola - Vietnam online

• The website was appealing but it was really Arida's itinerary that made the decision, we were sent several plans but hers was so detailed, very enthusiastic and personable which made it an easy choice! She happily altered the plan to suit our dates and booked us very convenient flights. As mentioned above, it really sold the company and your service. Unlike some, the website's enthusiasm and insight into India was backed up by Arida. Very flexible approach and great value. Catherine & Simon - India online

• Jim, thanks again to you and your Thai supplier for working so hard to get everything booked for us over the weekend - we're so grateful to you for helping us save our holiday at such short notice. Ailsa M - Thailand online
Bryony was wonderful - really helpful - always available. Couldn’t fault her in any way. Abbie K - Thailand online

Natasha handled my holiday plan from start to conclusion, and I found her to be very efficient, polite, helpful and a pleasure to deal with, Thanks Natasha. Kim - Thailand online

Bryony bent over backwards to get the itinerary right for us. Mike H - India online

• Jennifer, we really want to thank you personally for your organisation and professionalism in supporting all our little requests and playing your part in giving us an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever. Colin - Thailand online
