Allison is so WONDERFUL to work with!! She planned our entire 2 1/2 week itinerary, had the best excursions to choose from, and the hotels she booked for us were perfect!! She took the time to meet with us, and talk about what we wanted out of the trip, and made communication a breeze throughout the planning process. I couldn't be more pleased with this experience. This was a trip of a lifetime, and I'm SO happy I went with Sodha Travel!!! Thank you Allison!! :) read more

Sodha Travel was like finding a diamond in a haystack! I found countless travel agencies using eye catching websites with promises of dream vacations but I was having a difficult time choosing the company I would actually plunk down my hard earned travel deposit. It had taken me months to save for my trip to Thailand and I wanted this trip to be extra special! Allison, from Sodha Travel was thoughtful, timely and had a follow-through quality that is rarely seen these days. After an initial meeting in which Allison asked us questions about our likes, dislikes, past travels and personality traits we decided to hand over the planning aspect of our Thailand vacation to Sodha Travel so that we could focus on more important things; such as finding the perfect swim suit and rock star sunglasses! Allison drafted a fantastic 12 night itinerary with multiple in-country flights. 3 nights in an all-inclusive luxury tent resort in Khao Sok National Park! A 1/2 day bicycle ride through Phuket and a visit to Phuket's Gibbon Rehabilitation Center! Kayaking inside Phang Nga Hong through tunnels and lagoons! Private guided temple tours in Chiang Mai. Private tours! Did I mention PRIVATE TOURS???? Allison didn't simply add us to a 50 person travel bus tour. She found us a private guide! Each hotel Allison selected was clearly chosen using the information she gleaned from our initial meeting. She was patient with my questions and politely and kindly made any changes I requested. Although, I must admit, there were very few changes due to Allison's impeccable skills and travel planning! I highly recommend Sodha Travel. The peace of mind you will experience after you hand over the planning details of your trip to Sodha Travel will be worth every penny you spend as you invest in your dream vacation. Heidi read more

My wife & I got a package to India in a charity auction. 2 birds in 1!. Good cause and we got a nice trip out of it. The package was a sponsored from Sodha travel. I can guarantee it was the most memorable trip we ever had. (Of course we dumped out kids at our parents in India :-)). Our trip was super well planned. Allison gave us a well planned itinerary, Her staff in India who greeted us, was very professional, and made us feel safe. We covered the Golden triangle, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Ranthanbore national forest. Accommodation was provided at Oberoi... world class! She is a true professional and goes above and beyond to make sure your vacation turns out best. She doesn't forget after the trip is over, but makes that connection and checks back on what went well and if there is anything she could have done to make it better. Superlative experience!.. read more

Allison Sodha is highly organized, knowledgeable and she keeps all promises made. We enjoyed a two week vacation in Thailand and Laos with help from Sodha Travel. Allison did not dictate how this trip was to go. She didn't have a one-size fits all agenda for our vacation. What she did was listen to our needs and worked with me to plan a fabulous vacation. She arranged for guides and vehicles in select cities. In each case the guide was wonderful. We enjoyed a day on the Mekong River visiting remote villages. We really felt like Allison's guides took us "behind the scenes", away from the typical tourist haunts. She booked a wonderful hotel for us in Laos. And she handled all of our airline tickets. She made sure everything came together -- saved me a lot of time and stress. We will work with Sodha Travel again. India is calling our names!! read more

Allison is a delight to work with. I needed help with coordinating International and domestic flights for my boyfriend and myself flying out of east and west coast, and she tailored a perfect itinerary to maximize our time together. She was very fast, efficient, professional and simply put- absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend Allison. She knows her stuff. read more

We are a couple who spent $13000 on a 17 night trip in India and Nepal arranged by Sodha Travel. It excluded airfare from and to the US which cost us another $7,000. For this we received a full day with a driver who could not speak english and used hand signs in Kolkata, were sent to a completely different hotel than were scheduled to go to without ever mentioning it to us. Then here agents/international partners did not provide the services and housing that was originally promised and she confused us by saying were were getting different service. Her agents event asked a hotel to lie to us about what was available (they did not) and stressed us out by constantly revising and lying to us. Then when we complained, she continued to lie to us and did all the wrong things. Professional? Not in your life! read more

We just got back from a three week trip to Sri Lanka and India, all planned by Sodha Travel. I can't say enough good things about Allison Sodha and her colleagues in India and Sri Lanka who made this trip absolutely seamless and wonderful. We spent a week touring Sir Lanka and went to most interesting places, with a great guide and driver that made our trip outstanding. Then in India, the tour company that met us at the airport, hotels, provided guides, drivers and itinerary were outstanding. I am so fortunate that I found Allison Sodha's travel agency on the internet amidst the sea of other possibilities. I would use Sodha travel for any trip I make in the future to asia, india or far east. They are true professionals and very reliable. This was our experience. Thank YOU! This was a dream trip come true. read more

My wife and I worked with Allison and her team to plan our honeymoon in Thailand. After speaking with several travel services we were considering, Sodha Travel was clearly the best choice to go with. They are experienced, knowledgeable, responsive and patient. There are so many decisions to be made when you're trying to plan the trip of a lifetime and Sodha Travel did a wonderful job of guiding us through all the options. They worked with our budget, timelines and requests for specific hotels etc. Allison's personal experience was a key factor in choosing them as she's personally visited and stayed in the places she recommended. They helped arrange all transfers, excursions and flights and the peace-of-mind with not worrying about any of these details and just enjoying our trip was priceless. All of the guides and transportation that were arranged were prompt and professional. We highly recommend working with the Sodha team!! read more

My trip tp India was remarkable and Sodha Travel can take all of the credit for that! Every detail was planned and orchestrated to perfection, and we never had to worry about a single thing. Thanks to Sodha Travel, our dream of seeing the Taj Mahal came true. Other travel agencies may claim to book trips/tours to India, but Allison is a destination specialist to that part of the world and that requires additional certifications and a higher level of knowledge....she was able to add very special touches to our vacation that other travel agencies knew nothing about....and the exciting news is that Sodha Travel now has tours/vacation packages to THAILAND! Get ready, Thailand, here we come!!!! read more
