Here’s few snippets of feedback from some of my guests
Posted on Dhara RVerified An incredible holiday Sona helped us plan a trip of a lifetime. She was quick to respond and happy to adjust anything to suit us. Our driver, Ali, was knowledgeable and reliable and he really made our holiday memorable. Thank you to everyone at Tourio, would highly recommend to all!Posted on Gemma DVerified Unforgettable Experience! My husband and I booked our honeymoon with Sona at Tourio, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her more! From start to finish, Sona put so much care into creating a detailed itinerary that fit us perfectly — from the trip length and locations to the gorgeous hotels she chose. Every place we stayed was beautiful, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming.Communication with Sona was fantastic — she always replied quickly and made everything feel so easy. Even during the trip, she checked in to make sure we were having the best time.A special mention goes to our wonderful safari guide, Abdul, who was with us throughout our 6-day safari. He was so knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely a joy to be around. We learned so much from him about the animals and about Tanzania. We always felt completely safe and well looked after thanks to his professionalism and experience.Both Sona and Abdul went above and beyond to make sure every day was perfect. They truly made our honeymoon unforgettable, and we’ll be recommending Tourio to everyone we know!Posted on rajshree tVerified Better than the best! Tourio GetawaysTourio getaways and their owner , Sona, went above and beyond to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime on our recent visit to Serengeti for the Migration.From the outset from making the reservation, to us all reaching home, Sona helped us the whole time. No task or request was too big for her. Bush travel by tiny aircraft can be temperamental and unreliable but Sona was on top of things throughout and even made the airline land at the international airport in Nairobi to ensure we didn’t miss our connecting flight. On arrival she personally welcomed us with hats and anticipated that we maybe hungry, she had snacks arranged in the car for us.She was constantly in touch with the hotel and the guide to make sure that we were happy and comfortable as well as being in touch with us. Tourio Getaways will from now on be my go-to agent for Safari’s and Zanzibar, and I highly recommend them! We are really missing this trip of a lifetime, and I know that it wouldn’t have been as phenomenal without Sona’s attention to the minutest detail and constant on the ground monitoring and knowledge. Sona, 20+ years in the business is very evident and her attention to bespoke, personal details is second to none!! Thank you for raising the bar so high Sona - it’s going to be hard!Posted on minal rVerified Gorilla adventure in Uganda It was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience. Sona arranged our trip and it was very smooth. She made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout. The driver was very experienced and hotels she booked for us were very comfortable tooPosted on Bhavini GVerified Gorilla trekking adventure Uganda Amazing experience trekking with the gentle giants. The driver was good and so was the service. Very cooperative. After the trek we stayed at the birds nest that was near lake bunyoni . Again Amazing hospitality and service.Posted on Beej KVerified The most incredible Masaai Mara trip with hot air balloon, Masaai village & a wonderful glamping stay with Entim camp! We had the most incredible trip all thanks to Sona Thakrar at Tourio Getaways for planning and following through on the execution of every detail with the itinerary! The Entim glamoing was out of this world experience, the private safari car and driver were the best! We also had the most amazing hot air balloon ride with a well trained pilot from South Africa who gave us a very smooth and safe experience overlooking the wildlife below! Highly recommend you go with Tourio Getaways in planning your trip of a lifetime!Posted on sadhnap2014Verified Best of Tanzania with Tourio. TOURIO organized an absolutely fantastic and well planned 2 weeks tour of the Serengeti and Zanzibar. Highly personalized and guided tour. We were without worry from beginning (landing at airport in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) to the end (leaving Dar) they were there to help and guide us. All hotels, camps, cars, internal plane trips were perfectly booked. Timely reminders (daily). experienced drivers (like Peter in Dar) and driver- guides like Nurdin (Serengeti) and Justin (Sayari Camp) were knowledgeable and showed us a lot. In 35 years of traveling globe , this was hands down the best vacation . We felt pampered. Seamless trip with attention to our every need. TOURIO is a must if anyone plans a trip anywhere.Posted on JitenVerified Summer 2025 We planned and all Asian trip with Hong-Kong , Macau and india visit , The trip had complicated itenary with difficult transit connections , since we had good experience with Tourio Gateways in Past as usual it didn’t go wrong , they well managed our 3 weeks long family outings , I would rate Tourio Gateway 5 on 5 with all arrangements and picking up good hotels throughoutPosted on simonlgordonVerified Above and beyond. We used Tourio, specifically, Sona, to plan and book a six day safari in The Serengeti and in Nyerere. She did all the really complicated stuff like the flights and transfers. The whole experience was a joy from start to finish.She is very diligent when you are ‘in country’ constantly checking we are at each airport, checking in, making sure we have any driver’s contact details.When a flight time changed, she rebooked us onto another one without hassling us and just sent us the new tickets.She also arranged transfers for legs of our trip that we had booked ourselves.The two camps were fantastic and we would unreservedly recommend her to anyone trying to put together a trip.Posted on rajnikant gVerified A dream come true holiday very friendly and hospitable .
