Guest Testimonials
One of the most important goals we have at Magical Journeys Beyond is the satisfaction of our guests.
Embarking on a tour halfway around the world with a company you have never traveled with can indeed be a leap of faith.
I often spend months working with our guests to plan their tour such that it plays out just as they wish.
One of the things I enjoy most is hearing back from our guests, either while on their tour or once they get back, explaining how well things went for them. Below is a sampling of those comments.
We have had an amazing time here in India and I can’t thank you enough for all that you did to make that happen. The trip has been fabulous! Everything you planned was exactly what we all loved. The personal care and attention we got was exceptional. We had a fun group and everybody really embraced Rishabh, our driver Ugandan, and the many tour guides.

Just want to touch base with you to let you know that we had a fabulous time on our trip. Thanks again for giving us wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
Bob and Mary, Los Angeles, CA
I did not want to miss the opportunity however to give praise to you, Leo, all the guides (TinTin was amazing). Ray came down with a slight cold, and we appreciated Leo's keeping in touch over the few days with Jim. It was very comforting to know if we needed him he was there!
Amazing trip. Best guides, hotels, and from the beginning, with your organizational skills and communication, we couldn't be more pleased.
Tami and Ray, Daytona Beach, CA
Muneer was terrific. His English is great, he’s a good communicator, plans ahead, and is very organized. Tahel, our driver in Hunza, was excellent – very safe, confident driver, very comfortable vehicle. (Pakistan)
Our driver, Gurmeet, from Amritsar through Chandigarh, was excellent. Another comfortable vehicle, and he had several good ideas about timing and routing. From Chennai, our driver, Renjith, was again great. Very safe, always on time, good English – and he had the idea to stop along the road so we could taste some fresh roasted cashews! (India)
The resort is nice, the restaurant and service were very good. The Malé city tour was very good with a very professional guide (Maldives)
Sharon and Dan, Los Angeles

I’ve never had a travel agent be as thorough and helpful as you’ve been and it is really appreciated. (tour #1)
All in all, I think you did a great job in working out a great itinerary and...having us well taken care of at every place. (tour #2)
Janet and Donavon, Redwood City, CA
I have been meaning to drop you a note to tell you how incredible our entire experience was in India. Have to say it surpassed my expectations in so many ways. Thanks again for all you did to customize our trip and make it perfect for us. We loved having Rishabh along every step of the way. He worked his magic many times to give us the extra time we wanted and the experiences that we were looking for. Rishabh would alter and shift the schedule around us so that we never felt hurried, yet got to experience everything that was on our agenda. The only title he would accept was that of friend. What an exceptional young man!
Cathy, Columbus, OH
Dilip was the best driver ever. He was willing to help beyond the job description as a guide and as a friend. The staff on the houseboat in Alleppey was exceptional. It was the most amazing trip in my entire life
Lynn, Berkeley, CA

I’ve had an awesome time. Absolutely terrific time. Driver, Nishu, was superb and guides great too. It was a month of fun; a magical time. I have India fever now and want to go back. Your company was fabulous; very professional.

George and Joanne, San Francisco, CA

Even though our trip was almost a decade ago, it is still registered as one of our best travel trips.
Kelly and Salina, San Jose, CA
All four drivers were excellent drivers in the chaos that is Indian traffic. Mahendra – cannot say enough good things. Mahendra felt like our traveling companion and friend. He learned what we liked and then would stop or suggest things that fit. We were initially skeptical about a day in a small village. We were wrong. It was one of the best and most memorable days of the trip. We were so grateful for their welcoming hospitality and could not thank them enough.
Ed and Mary, San Jose, CA
I had a marvelous driver, Joshi, who spoke good English and who was unfailingly responsible, calm and competent. Also, we shared information about your families and about India and America which added to my experience.
Michael, Richmond, CA
Thanks for the excellent service. Everything worked very well.
Christine and Susan, New York, NY
Steve was fantastic, from the booking/planning process all the way through to the end of the trip. He helped us come up with a custom itinerary that met our needs for length of stay, main interests, and our budget. Having dedicated guides for just our family really helped make the trip memorable, as we had the opportunity to really get to know them and connect on a human level. We would not hesitate to book another trip through him!
Mike, Tera and Livingston, Denver, CO
You looked after our concerns in every way, and were always safe so that we felt 100% secure. You went above and beyond, solving our problems and taking time for us.
Michael and Rosemary, San Jose, CA
The guides were all amazing.
Jason and Isaura, Los Angeles, CA
Our driver Hukam, with his effervescent personality and winning demeanor is nothing less than absolutely charming. His hearty laugh and unending positivity are giant-sized.

Thank you for all your efforts to make this a memorable visit to Mongolia. It's a beautiful country and I wish we had more time to explore more areas.
Joyce, Washington, DC
Let me start by saying that we had a fantastic trip, thanks largely to all the thoughtful guidance, planning and suggestions you made. We felt safe and cared for our entire time in India. It was the trip of a lifetime! The drivers were all competent and safe, but Mahendra was exceptional. His English was excellent, and we enjoyed spending time with him on the road during our several very long journeys. He was not just an excellent driver…he was flexible, thoughtful, and caring about our happiness and safety.
Joan and David, Springfield, VA
I personally want to thank you for a job well done. Tin Tin in Ho Chi Minh., Mr Huy in Central Vietnam, and Long in Hanoi are to be commended on their exceptional service as well as being flexible to our needs to make some amends in itineraries. Please thank Leo in Hanoi for his kindness with the gifts and checking in on us. All in all, I believe we were all very pleased and enjoyed the trip immensely.
Jim, Los Angeles, CA
Thanks to you and Guarav for organizing this (tour) so quickly! Thanks for your tremendous help.
We totally enjoyed ourselves in India and seeing many of its historical sites. Our tour guides (Pratima, Mukesh, Ranvi) and our 8-day driver (Sandeep) were outstanding.
Mark and Liz, Los Angeles, CA
Thank you for everything.
Marilyn and Beverly, Los Angeles, CA and New York City, NY
Our driver and guides are excellent. Everything couldn’t be better.
Paul and Laureen, Woodside, CA
Our driver in Udaipur, also deserves special notice. He was very relaxed and went out of his way to ensure we had a good time. Again, we were very happy with Manoj. He was not only a great help, but a delightful person to have along and quite flexible.
Gill and Tony, Hartford, CT
Our trip was wonderful; the guides were quite informative and lodging was nice. Yen and I had a wonderful and memorable trip.
Glen and Yen, San Leandro, CA
Driver and guide here – excellent. All goes well.
Joan, Wilmington, DE
We enjoyed the trip very much and were very appreciative of the driver, Ravi. He was always punctual, courteous, and had a positive attitude. (We) loved the hotel here (in Bundi), particularly because it was situated just beneath the fort, providing wonderful views. The guide was excellent, which added to (our) enjoyment.
Rich and Denise, Daytona Beach, FL
We are very grateful for the care and attention in making arrangements and for your responsiveness to our particular interests and requests. We thank you, especially, for understanding what we wanted, making some suggestions when our ignorance of India would have led us distressingly astray, and helping to arrange a trip to suit our special interests. Rawat was so attentive! He called us several times just to check if all was okay. We knew he was available, so we felt safe, cared for, and never without support.
John and Helen, Oakland, CA
We had a great time! The hospitality and accommodations were excellent, everyone dedicated to ensuring we had a pleasant and well-informed experience. 10 out of 10. Had a great time, currently highly recommending your travel agency to other people I know.
John, Taipei, Taiwan
Thanks again. We had a great time. I didn’t experience any stress at all regarding getting places due to the competence and expertise of you, Manoj and our drivers. The whole team put together a smooth and fascinating adventure for us. Thank you!
