Aahilya HolidaysArvostelua 

I traveled to Jaipur with Aahilya Holidays on a trip based around block printing, with a small group of other women (who I'd not met before). I was slightly apprehensive as it is some time since I've flown and I'd never been to India before - but I needn't have worried. The staff at Aahilya Holidays were quick to answer queries about visas and travel arrangements as well as sorting out chnages of seats and dietary requirements.

Richa from Aahilya Holidays met us at Delhli airport and was amazing. I can't thank her enough - She was the most perfect guide - a safe pair of hand who was not only unflappable but calm, kind, extremely well informed and always able to assist or answer questions.

The hotel was beautiful and really added to our experience. In the hotel Richa guided us through food choices, an then helped us navigate our way round the city to the various sites of interest before we settled into block printing, and constantly ensured everything ran smoothly - I was really impressed with the way she managed us! As I said, I can't thank her enough for making my first trip to India so much fun and so memorable - I am now working out how I can come back next year!

Aahilya always delivers an excellent and memorable experience. Isha’s plans include as much as possible when visiting each country to get a true taste of the art and culture. The tours are well organised and all participants are well looked after. The tour guides are always extremely knowledgeable and always become very much part of the group. I have now been on three tours and would recommend them to anyone with a wish to experience as much as possible in the time available.

This was my second trip with Aayhila. There were only 4 of us on this trip to the golden triangle and the guides driver and especially Richa couldn’t have been more helpful and kind.

There were plenty of crafts on offer and the trip to the Taj Mahal was superb.
I would definitely recommend Aayhila holidays and hope to travel with them again, either with friends or as a solo traveler.

I have travelled with Isha to at least 10 different destinations, memorable trips to various parts of India, to Japan, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia etc, my last trip being Morroco. All trips have been wonderful, memorable and above all lots of fun in their own special way. Isha is a great person to travel with, also the knowledgable guides and fun loving hosts I have met on my travels. I will continue to travel with Isha/Aahilya Holidays for as long as I am able, like all of us, I am not getting any younger!! I hope old and new clients enjoy their travels with Aahilya as much as I have and will in the future.

Good trip. Well looked after and really feeling safe . Lots of good craft activities included. Hotels were generally very good and interesting. Saw many different places in Morocco from coast to tge High atlas mountaind

A wonderful trip to Morocco which was so well organised and executed! Plenty of sightseeing with a first class guide who was so informative. The craft workshops were fun and an interesting experience. Can't recommend this trip enough. A real taste of Morocco.

What a delightful trip!
My craft and cultural tour of Kerala was an unforgettable experience. The activities were well organised and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There was a good mix of workshops and relaxation , an we got to see some of the true side of Kerala, away from the tourists. The coach was so comfortable for the long journeys, an the drivers were very skilled. All in all it was an excellent holiday.

Very well organised tour. Communication with the company always very efficient and helpful. Our guide and tour leaders very informative and looked after us so well. They made the experience great fun and a fantastic experience.
Always felt safe with our trusty bus drivers on some long journeys.
The tour included a wide variety of textile activities allowing us to engage with local artisans also other cultural visits.

I have travellled to India with Aahilya many times and each time, I am more impressed with their attention to detail, provision of inspirational experiences and empathy in all their dealings.
The holiday to Gujarat was a stunning combination of culture, textile art and fabulous locations. The guides were wonderful and all our holiday wishes were met and so much more.

Just completed my third trip to India with Aahilya Holidays, and would highly recommend them as a tour company.
The holiday was 'A textile tour of Gujarat'. Aahilya planned a fantastic itinery and even added some additional elements as we went along. The guides were informative and patient when we were shopping!
We were able to participate in some great workshops with master craftsmen in tie dye, block printing and embroidery.
I hope to join another trip in the future for a further adventure

So many wonderful experiences packed into this fabulous trip

Excellent and interesting tour . Every care taken to see our needs were met. Well beyond the duty of care . 100% recommend Aahylia holidays .

What an experience- every day different with so much to see and learn . The organised workshops were great and I have come home inspired to continue with my new stitching and tie dye skills.
Isha was a wonderful host and together with AJ they looked after us so well and answered all questions with knowledge and lots of patience, especially on our regular diversions into shops or stalls enticing us with brightly coloured goodies!
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves stitching and wants to learn more from those small communities still practicing such precise and colourful products.
Can’t wait until my next trip …..

I have just returned from a textile tour of Gujarat with Aahilya Holidays. It was wonderful !
I have seen an astounding amount of beautiful work from antique pieces in private collections and museums to living work being created before my eyes. We were invited into the private homes and workshops of amazing artisans who shared the secrets of their traditional craft.
These holidays are created by women for women to celebrate our communal love of colour, thread and cloth ( that doesn’t mean that men are not welcome too !) I made wonderful friends, wonderful memories and came home with treasures that will be treasured forever.
Roll on the next holiday !

Yet another fabulous holiday with Aahilya and Isha. We visited lots of interesting places and took part in great workshops. Everyone on the trip was very friendly and our driver, his helper and guides were all first class.
As a single traveller and if you don't know anyone who is going to be on your venture you can rest assured that you will feel very comfortable with which ever adventure you join.

Aahilya holidays organise every detail and look after everyone so well. My trip to Gujarat was a wonderful experience and will linger long in my memory.

The attention to detail, great itinerary, wonderful tour leader plus having Isha the owner on the tour ensured that everything went smoothly.

First time with this Company, I cannot recommend enough, from start to finish we were expertly led through Kolkata and Shantiniketan. The workshops were totally amazing, we were welcomed everywhere we went. The food was fabulous, the history was fabulous, the shopping was fabulous. Lots of attention to detail made all the difference, thank you.

I have had experience with Aahilya Holidays three times. Once as a guest and twice as a tour leader. I went to UZBECKISTAN before I took on the role as a tour leader with them. As an experienced tour leader, I have to say I have never met a more professional, generous and knowledgeable company. I enjoyed every minute and always felt comfortable, cared for and listened to. Out local guide Khurshid was an encyclopaedia of knowledge and had a genuine interest in the needs and interests of all on the tour.
As a tour guide for my Japan and Northern India tours this attention to detail and care for our guests continued and I felt supported the whole tour.
I cannot recommend Aahilya and Isha and her staff more highly and I look forward to many more tours with Aahilya.

Brilliantly organised, lots of fascinating experiences especially the workshops.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and guides. A wonderful experience- I would love to travel with AAHILYA again and hope to do so next year. I would unhesitatingly recommend them.
