Thank you and the team in India for putting our tailor made holiday together. Everything was hilarious and bright and fun. The cooking course in Jaipur was great – the family was fantastic and we had fun.

Yet again, thank you, Jules and Nikhil for a fascinating, rewarding, trip to Amritsar, Shimla & Udaipur. Not to mention, six birthday cakes, a bottle of champagne and a Thali meal! Great guides, drivers and hotels, all co-ordinated to perfection, what more could one wish for on an adventure?

You listened to what we wanted and then reacted accordingly, thank you. The hotels in India were excellent, the drivers were great and the overnight boat trip on the backwaters in Kerala was special. Hotel in Varanasi was excellent even though alcohol free and vegetarian! The guides were good especially in Varanasi and Fort Cochi.

Everything was amazing. We were absolutely delighted with the standard of accommodation and the staff at all hotels were absolutely wonderful. Such lovely people who cannot do enough for you. The Oberoi at Agra was wonderful- a beautiful property and again wonderful staff. Oberoi Udaivillas did a special birthday celebration for Mike's birthday at Udaipur - which we loved so much we will return!

You listened to what I wanted to do and see, and found me a package that delivered exactly that. Highlights included staying in villages, Chandelao Garh - with a tour of surrounding hamlets, Jojawr Ravla - with a Ganesh procession complete with powder paint throwing and a trip on a local railway where the train stopped just for me to take a picture of a Banyan tree! Visiting a Marwari horse stud in Jodhpur; shopping in Jaipur. The guide was so knowledgeable about the area, and really good at finding out what we were interested in and tailoring the holiday accordingly.

We enjoyed every minute of our trip to Southern India. We did a considerable number of miles, in all forms of transport - car, tuktuk, bus, train, boat! The temples in Tamil Nadu which I wanted to see were amazing. The colour and ornamentation is unbelievable.Thank you Jules & Nikhil for another glorious holiday. James was a wonderful driver, guide and all round friend. All in all wonderful!! On with the next!! Love India. Thank you to both of you.

Everything was really terrific, I think we enjoyed India even more this year than last time and Jawai Leopard Camp was simply wonderful! Thank you to you, Nikhil and his team so much for another fabulous holiday to India!

In my view life is too short NOT to use Julie's experience and contacts when booking a holiday! I couldn't recommend Travel With Jules more highly.

We loved our "adventure" in Kerala and returned home feeling quite happy! Thank you for finding this group trip and introducing us to a walking holiday. From the moment our Indian guide met us at Kochi Airport we knew we were going to have fun!

We would like to express our appreciation for the organising of the wonderful holiday to India. We were looked after like 'Sahib and Sahiba' from our arrival until our departure! A huge thank you to yourself and Nikhil at Western & Oriental for our experience of a lifetime.

The arrangements you set up were impeccable. From the moment I walked through arrivals at Delhi airport until departure ten days later, everything went without a hitch and took all the hassle out of being a single traveller.

For the last three years we have been using Jules to arrange our annual winter long haul holidays and have enjoyed travelling with someone else doing the organising in the full knowledge that should a problem occur we have a reliable point of contact who ensures that our enjoyment of the holiday isn't in any way spoiled. I would thoroughly recommend using 'Travel with Jules' to anyone contemplating wishing to travel on a wildlife & sightseeing adventure!

Jules designed our holiday around us, taking on board everything we said we wanted to do and see and tried to include everything within our budget for our holiday of a lifetime to India. I cannot recommend Travel with Jules highly enough, she takes the time to listen to what you want, how much you have to spend and will fit your holiday around your requirements. Look no further than Travel with Jules for your special holiday.

We have just returned from a thrilling holiday in India – thanks to Travel With Jules. We cannot praise her highly enough, and will go nowhere else in future when planning and booking our holidays. Thank you so much Jules!

One of the things I have come to love about you, Jules, is that you listen and take on board what makes me tick, and then tailor the holiday to fit me, not just try to convince me to fit a holiday in a brochure!
