I contacted Elite to organise a bespoke package for my dad to visit India to watch the IPL, something he had wanted to do for as long as I can remember. John and Ben were both so helpful, prompt with their responses and created the perfect itinerary for my dad who had never travelled this far solo. He visited two cities and saw 2 matches on his trip, which was the perfect amount for him. Everything was seamless from start to finish and my dad couldn’t praise the people enough who looked after him whilst in India. He enjoyed his time so much he is talking about going back this year. Would not hesitate to book with Elite again and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you for looking after my dad and making sure he had such a memorable experience!
