What Our Clients Are Saying
"Fiona made our trip to India uniquely ours. All of her recommendations were perfect for us and enabled us to discover incredible places we would have never found on our own. With Fiona's guidance and the Love Travel Guides in hand we were able to be our own tour guides and enjoy a stress free holiday in India discovering amazing places, people and experiences."
What Our Clients Are Saying
“Most of our family and friends thought we were mad to think of travelling to India for five weeks with our three young boys. Fiona made us realise it was not only possible but would be an unforgettable experience. With her wonderful support and encouragement we decided to make it happen! Fiona worked closely with us to map out an itinerary and working with a budget, she guided us with where to indulge and where we travel more simply. This included a mix from staying in a friend of Fiona's flat to some outstanding boutique hotels and off the beaten track experiences. We feel so grateful for Fiona's help - we had the most incredible trip.”
What Our Clients Are Saying
“If you don’t yet have a travel designer like Fiona Caulfield in your life, get one - our recent trip to Kerala simply wouldn’t have been the same without the insightful guidance and recommendations provided to help us plan an unforgettable trip. We began with a phone consultation where - after listening to us describe the things we enjoy on a holiday – Fiona helped shape a trip full of experiences that were well off the beaten track and perfectly in sync with our preferences. Can’t rate the investment highly enough - now just need to find Fiona’s equivalent for every other country we travel to!”
What Our Clients Are Saying
“Thank you so much for our chat yesterday, it was invaluable. I can’t describe how excited and comforted I was after our conversation, and I really cant wait to experience it all now! Thank you for helping make this a straightforward process with so many insider tips and recommendations.”
What Our Clients Are Saying
“The trip could not have been more perfect. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and expertise and superb intuition. I took many photographs and shopped and watched as my husband (much to my surprise) fell in love with India. The only complaint we had was not enough time. Upon my return, I was so ‘homesick’ for India and nowhere near done shopping for textiles (as my appetite had only just been whetted in Bombay) that I immediately made an appointment to shop at XXX. Of course it took almost no time before XX and I realized that we have you in common! Much laughing and beaming and singing your praises followed!"
What Our Clients Are Saying
“Lovely indeed... truly a great call for me. Thank you for all your years of research and your beautiful framework and expression for all that information. And thank you for sharing it so lovingly. I feel very happy. My life is over flowingly busy right now and I was feeling dispirited at not being able to sort out these plans. Now it all feels easy. Good conjuring, my friend!”
What Our Clients Are Saying
“Just wanted to email and give thanks for your recommendations in Goa. XXX was a treasure - both for its interior beauty, location, staff - but also a perfect way to ease into India / see it at a slower pace! My partner had no idea where we were going, he was blown away. The tour guide on the ground in Goa was fantastic. Knowledgeable, laid back, some good jokes and the driver was really good too. Back in Hyderabad now. I had a day with XXX. She is fantastic. Loved that she gave me a history lesson before we started. Time with her was gold. Thanks again for your connections, encouragement and just being there as a sounding board for questions!”
What Our Clients Are Saying
"We had a wonderful time in India and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you for all your recommendations, suggestions and advice that made the trip so special. We will absolutely be going back to continue to explore. We had so many special moments but spending time with XXX we did three walks - arts & craft walk, temple walk and then a ad-hoc walk to see the old milk market and through the city. Going back to Delhi was made memorable by the day with XXX, the day was full of amazing adventures including ending up in a basement of his friends Bollywood dancing studio learning some moves! XXX made the whole trip seamless! He was an absolute star!”
What Our Clients Are Saying
“I will write you a proper email once I have finished the trip and fully digested just how incredible it has all been, but, I picked up my ring today and I just had to send you a pic immediately and share my sentiments about XXX. He was absolutely fabulous to deal with. He is such a lovely man, and has a huge amount of integrity. I also met his lovely wife and son that works in the business. The ring is perfection plus and I could not be happier with it I have attached some pics for you to see. I am over the moon and thank you so very much for the introduction to XXX.”
