My foreign tour to Dubai and Abu Dhabi from September 27 to October 2, 2023, was the best tour I have ever had. It was my first time traveling alone, and I was initially afraid. But that fear was immediately gone because Salunkhe Sir and all my new tour members were very cooperative and friendly, and they took care of each other. I'm really thankful to Salunkhe Sir because Salunkhe Tours and Travels arranged pick-up and drop-off from our destinations to the airport, which I've observed no other travel company does. He also paid personal attention to each and every tour member, specifically senior citizens. We were accommodated in 3-star and 4-star hotels, and all spots were covered in the given time. I'm waiting to travel with this tour company again.

Very good planning๐ All the tour managers were polite and prompt, so there was no problem. The highlight of the trip was your food arrangement, which was very clean, tasty, and varied. Your catering team worked hard to prepare the menu, and last but not least, Munna Banaras Wale always brings a smile to his face and a different satisfaction, and he manages more things with less talk๐. I am satisfied with your planning๐๐.

I have a lot to say about Salunkhe Tours. Going on a tour means going home, and home is like that. When your parents leave, your brother stays here. Your Pramod Salunkhe and his colleagues, Mahesh, Manish Mangesh, and Abhijeet, all really take care of you more than your brother. In addition, everyone who prepares the food makes it feel homely. The food is very good. There is a lot of fun, and all the groups who go there are very friendly. I have a lot of praise for all of this. And the main thing is that the accommodation arrangements are also good after going there. I have a lot of good experiences with Salunkhe Tours. If we had not met Salunkhe sir, we would not have seen the outside world. We had not seen it even in our dreams. It was possible to see it because of him. That's all I have to thank you for, and this conversation ends here. If there is any mistake, please forgive me. Yours faithfully, Savita Bhosale.

We have had about 4-5 tours with them. There's nothing to complain about; your organization, caring tour operators, and the family feeling while on tour are all well-managed. Most importantly, they serve homely, fresh food of different varieties, so why not say they are good people with the best service at an economical rate? Hats off to Salunkhe Tours.

Overall, the trip was wonderful. We visited all the places as per the given itinerary, except the Tulip Garden. On reaching the Netherlands, we were told that the entire garden was destroyed and there was no point in visiting there, so we didn't go. But it came to light that other tours and travels showed the Tulip Garden to their passengers on the same day. On that day, I didn't like the fact that you behaved so badly by making loud noises. As an owner, it is not right for you to behave like this. In fact, such behavior is likely to cause you a lot of loss in terms of your future business. Also, it seems that you are seen behaving the same way with some other tourists. People who have come for picnics may be doing very naughty things, but as an owner, it is your duty to take care of them. I don't like it if we spend money and get insulted in return. Many families have come for picnics from your organization many times, which is a pleasure. I have also done two foreign tours and about four local tours, and I want to do more tours in the future. This should be taken into consideration. Overall, I think you are giving about a one to two percent discount on other trips, but if we are getting the above-mentioned treatment from you, then we may have to think about it for our next trip. Or other travelers may also think about it. Your other tour manager, with whom we had a picnic, was very polite and executive in behavior. Anyway, I should not have focused on that issue that day, sir. I apologize for the argument caused by the wrong passenger. I know it is very difficult to collect passengers, and increasing business is not an easy thing for Marathi people, but you have shown it with your hard work. Keep it up. I hope you will take the criticism positively. Thanks.

Hello ๐ We went on a Kashmir tour from April 22nd to April 27th with Salunkhe Tours. Manish Purandare and Mangesh Satum are great tour leaders, with an attitude and readiness to face any problem immediately! They took good care of people of all ages ๐. The incident that happened on April 22nd was very sad, but our tour was pleasant and safe only because of Manish, Mangesh, and the Salunkhe Tours back-end team ๐. A bus was arranged to go to the Mumbai airport. Packets of snacks and water bottles were provided, and all the planning was superb ๐๐. While on the tour, the accommodation facilities of the hotels were very excellent, with tea and breakfast on time, and delicious food was arranged very well, so our health was good during the journey. Specifically, no food was repeated. The bus facility was also comfortable during the journey. We really enjoyed the tour with Salunkhe Travels. All the participants in the tour formed a great group. ๐๐ Salunkhe sir, his tour manager, the chefs who provide food, and other colleaguesโall their cooperation and time planning are very much appreciated, and that is why we will do all our following tours with Salunkhe Travels. Best wishes to Salunkhe Tours.

I have had 8 or 9 trips with family and friends to various places in India. I have enjoyed every trip; sightseeing, food, accommodation, and tour arrangements were all very good. It was full value for money. I am very much satisfied with the services offered.

Our Rajasthan tour with Salunkhe Tours was my second and my wife's first tour. Earlier, I had done the Kaspathar tour in September 2024 with my friend. After seeing the planning of that tour, my wife Kalyani and I both decided to go on the Rajasthan tour with Salunkhe Tours. Ever since booking, I was curious about the tour. Finally, the day dawned, and our journey began. We were 38 tourists in total, and except for four or five, all of us were of the same age, i.e., above fifty. On the Mumbai-Jaipur train journey, tour manager Shri Mangesh Satam accompanied us, and we received Mr. Manish Purandre at Jaipur station. Within a couple of days, all the tourists gathered, and it started to feel like a family trip. Quality hotels, the best variety of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and an air-conditioned bus throughout the road journey made the whole tour enjoyable. The main thing is the care taken by both Manish and Mangesh for the entire group, questioning everyone with respect, giving proper instructions for the next day's program, keeping to the time limit without hurting anyone, providing proper information about the tourist spot where no guide is available, maintaining a perfect balance in all the day's schedules from morning bed tea to dinner, and we never faced any controversy on the tour. They devoted a lot of time to shopping. Indeed, due to the immense hard work of Manish and Mangesh, we literally had the Rajasthan tour of our lives, and we returned to Mumbai on February 14 with unforgettable memories in our hearts. The tour made new acquaintances, grew friendships, saw new sights, and experienced the wonderful hospitality of Salunkhe Tours, thanks to Manish and Mangesh. Both of us had a firm idea that now we should do all our tours with Salunkhe Tours. Heartfelt thanks to all the staff of Salunkhe Tours.
