Senthil's 7 days trip to Phuket

I recently booked a trip to Thailand - Krabi and Phuket with Navigatio, specifically Parul. The trip planning and execution went smoothly with no hiccups. Parul was incredibly friendly and helpful, she provided suggestions but took our wants seriously into consideration to create a perfect experience tailored for us. The entire team will assist on WhatsApp and ontrip app so one can be worry free while on vacation. Pricewise, they gave us a great deal after negotiation. I would definitely recommend Navigatio for your trip planning needs.

Dhruv's 7 days trip to Phuket

Would recommend mr lucky to everyone as he planned my trip to Thailand really well . I had to pay fees for few of the sightseeing which I feel should be clearly told in advance. Besides that everything went smooth . Also avoid a guy named Kashish as he tried to scam me over flight bookings which mr lucky handled and solved the problem as soon as he could . So yeah overall it was a nice experience.

Our coordinator, Ms. Parul, was incredibly helpful—she understood our preferences and crafted a perfect itinerary that exceeded expectations. From private pool villas and beach stays to comfortable private cabs, everything was arranged beautifully and well within our budget. Among all the travel agencies we explored, Navigatio ASIA offered the best pricing without compromising on quality. A big thank you to the entire team!

Sandy Sandeep

Dr's 6 days trip to Phuket

My Holiday Trip Review I had a wonderful time on my recent holiday trip. The overall experience was enjoyable and memorable — from the scenic locations to the well-planned itinerary and friendly people I met along the way. Every place we visited had something unique to offer, and I truly appreciated the time spent exploring and relaxing. The only downside was the hotel accommodation, which was not up to the mark. The facilities and service did not meet expectations and could definitely use some improvement. Despite this, it didn’t overshadow the overall trip, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to my next adventure! Had a wonderful time with my family.
