Customized Tours
Your Dream, Our Expertise
Some trips do not fit into categories. You want three days in a Rajasthan fort, followed by a cooking class in a Goa village, followed by scuba diving in the Andamans, and you want it all connected seamlessly. Or you are planning a surprise anniversary trip to the exact restaurant where you had your first date -- in a city you have never visited. Or you have a wheelchair-bound parent who dreams of seeing the Taj Mahal, and you need someone who knows exactly which ramps, vehicles, and timing will make it possible.
Some trips do not fit into categories. You want three days in a Rajasthan fort, followed by a cooking class in a Goa village, followed by scuba diving in the Andamans, and you want it all connected seamlessly. Or you are planning a surprise anniversary trip to the exact restaurant where you had your first date -- in a city you have never visited. Or you have a wheelchair-bound parent who dreams of seeing the Taj Mahal, and you need someone who knows exactly which ramps, vehicles, and timing will make it possible. This is what we do best. Customized tours are not our backup offering for travelers who do not fit our packages -- they are our signature service. Nearly three decades of travel expertise means we have an answer for almost every "is it possible?" question, and for the ones we do not, we have the network and the creativity to figure it out. The process begins with a conversation. Not a form, not a questionnaire -- a genuine conversation where we listen to your interests, concerns, constraints, and dreams. Some travelers know exactly what they want. Others know only the feeling they are seeking: "relaxation," "adventure," "reconnection," "celebration." Both starting points work equally well, because our job is translation -- turning your words into an itinerary that delivers the experience you described. Every customized tour comes with a dedicated travel designer who becomes your single point of contact. They learn your preferences over the course of planning, anticipate your questions, and make decisions on your behalf when you do not want to be bothered with details. By the time you travel, your designer knows you well enough to handle any surprise -- a delayed flight, a sudden craving for a specific cuisine, a change of mind about tomorrow's plan -- without you having to manage it yourself.

Why Choose Customized Tours
This is our core expertise -- nearly three decades of turning unique requests into flawless experiences

Post-trip, your designer debriefs to learn what worked perfectly and what to refine for your next journey
I told Traveltoons I wanted to propose to my girlfriend somewhere magical. They designed an entire trip around the moment -- a private sunset at a lake palace in Udaipur, a musician playing our song, and her favorite flowers waiting. She said yes. The trip was perfect. The proposal was perfect. Thank you for making it real.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the customization process work?
It starts with a conversation (call or video). We listen to your interests, preferences, constraints, and dreams. Within 48 hours, we present a draft itinerary with options. You provide feedback, we refine. The process typically takes 3-5 iterations over 1-2 weeks before finalization.
Is customized travel more expensive than standard packages?
Not necessarily. Some customized trips cost less than standard packages because we eliminate activities you do not want. Others cost more because they include exclusive experiences. The customization process itself carries no surcharge -- you pay for what you choose, nothing more.
Can you plan a trip for someone else as a surprise?
Yes, this is one of our specialties. We work with one partner, friend, or family member to design the trip. We handle reveal logistics, packing guidance (without giving away the destination), and even create fake itineraries for misdirection. The surprise is preserved until the moment of your choosing.
What if I change my mind during the trip?
Flexibility is built into every customized tour. Your travel designer is reachable by phone throughout the trip. Want to skip tomorrow's temple visit and spend the day at the spa instead? Done. Want to extend by a day? We will rearrange flights and accommodation. Spontaneity is not a problem; it is a feature.
