What do our members say
Pratap Singh Retired GM of BHEL, LucknowMany thanks for successfully conducting a most enjoyable and memorable tour of magnificent 'Forts and Royal grandeur of Mewar region' of Rajasthan. The tour was professionally well planned to the minutest details, perfectly suiting to the requirements of the aged persons. We had some apprehensions initially whether my wife, having knee trouble may cope with the excursions, but she had no trouble at all and thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
We were pleasantly surprised to find quite a few ladies joining the group alone and all were taken care of. The tour was totally hassle free due to pre planning at every stage including selection of logistics and knowledgeable local guides. Best part was your dedicated tour manager Sam, who made sure that every member was involved and comfortable throughout.
Thanks 50+ voyagers for creating a platform for the senior citizens to materialise their unfulfilled dreams of the safe sightseeing in India and abroad.

Murali Raghavan ChennaiI recently did a tour of Rajasthan with 50 Plus Voyagers Travel and Adventure Club. Me and my wife enjoyed the tour very much. The hotels were nice and comfortable and the tour managers were very competent and fully clued in to all our needs. Quite remarkable how they were able to organise autos for us at very short notice where bus can not reach. The bus rides were comfortable with a very pleasant and ever smiling driver and assistant. All in all a very enjoyable trip.
Madhuram Rajagopal Bangalore
Rajasthan trip was a very well organized trip by 50+ Voyagers. Hotels we're good, the bus was a luxury bus and made the long journeys very comfortable. The local guide choices were good. The tour managers were very cordial and did their best to keep this particular age group of over 50 comfortable and at ease. The bus driver and his assistant took extra care in making our journeys pleasant. This was my 3rd trip with 50+ and I would strongly recommend 50+ voyagers.
