It’s all about you – the way our guests see us
, Destination : Antarctica
The experience of the Antarctica cruise was unforgettable. Luxury and concern were the hallmarks of the cruise company and KareVoyage who made all the travel arrangements under the superbly watchful eye of Shefali Jain Mishra must be commended for no detail being too small for their attention and no want being too large for them to handle.
Shefali's warmth had the right blend of making you feel independent yet not taking her eye off the ball as seniors do need and expect. All in all KareVoyage is highly recommended for seniors' travel.

, Destination : Japan
Thank you everyone for making the Japan holiday so wonderful. Have got used to the vibrant noise, laughter and chatter so much, this morning things seemed too quiet and flat.
Special thanks to H. P. for his highly competent and successful herding.
Congratulations!

Karevoyage please keep up the great work Loads of love and blessings to your entire team. 💝🥳👌

Vietnam and Cambodia was my first trip with KareVoyage in December 2022. It was an extremely enjoyable experience. The travel, hotel, internal travel, food and smallest details were taken care of. Hoping to take trip with them in future too!
, Destinations : South Africa, New Zealand, Kashmir, Georgia- Azerbaijan
We had a wonderful trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. All credit goes to the KareVoyage team. They took care of all our small needs. It was really happy moment when KareVoyage team supported one of our dear co-travelers to get all travel documents within short time when she lost her passport just couple of days before the end of our trip. We got more than we expected from this trip.
, Destination : Maldives
Maldives was my dream destination and being there amongst wonderful people fulfilled it totally.
Thanks to KareVoyage for such a well organised trip. Sheetal our group leader took care of every detail to see we were comfortable n enjoyed our trip. Her photography has given us great memories to cherish.
, Destination: Gujarat (Dwarka, Somnath, Gir National Park)
You had made very sincere effort to make this trip a memorable experience which indeed it was. The planning and execution were commendable. What impressed me was the way you took care of the elderly and those who needed some support. The tour was paced well to take into account the age group and you had also ensured that those who were fit did have activities to keep them engaged like the morning trek for bird watching and the visit to a tribal house at the Gir resort.
, Destination: Mediterranean Cruise ( Spain, Italy, Monaco, France)
We my husband Ranjit and I went on a Mediterranean Cruise with KareVoyage. Wonderfully arranged and with superb shore excursions at all places . The itinenary was well planned covering most places of interest and the choice of guides was spot on. Finally at Barcelona we had a surprise package of Flamenco dance, dinner on the side walk, visits to winery and medieval quaint towns around Barcelona. It was not just a pleasure tour but also a fantastic learning experience because of the guides. They took great care and went out of their way to see we were comfortable. We highly recommend KaraVoyage . Do go with KareVoyage and you are sure to come back with stars in your eyes. All the best.
