Client Testimonials

Helbert Erquinigo Calizaya

Our family trip organized by Embarq was simply exceptional. Their meticulous planning ensured that every moment was filled with unforgettable experiences. Every stop was a highlight, from exploring the stunning Tasman Sea in South Island to discovering hidden gems along the way. Thanks to their expertly crafted offbeat routes, we witnessed breathtaking vistas that left us in awe. Despite being strangers, we bonded effortlessly with our fellow travellers, adding to the joy of the journey. Embarq's attention to detail was evident in every aspect - from the thoughtfully curated itinerary to the impeccable choice of accommodations. All we had to do was book our tickets and visas; the rest was seamlessly taken care of by Embarq. These memories will be cherished forever, and we look forward to embarking on many more adventures with them.

My incredible New Zealand road trip with Embarq unveiled a new way to explore a country. The stunning natural beauty and well-developed infrastructure made it amazing, but Embarq's meticulous planning truly elevated the experience. Their efforts allowed us to traverse the entire length of New Zealand, from Auckland in the North to Te Anau and the Tasman Sea in the South, hitting all the must-see spots.
The real gem, however, was Embarq's selection of offbeat routes. Thanks to their detailed pre-trip scouting (recce), we witnessed breathtaking vistas, unlike anything we'd ever seen. While we initially didn't know our fellow travellers, the journey fostered amazing connections. Looking back, their company significantly enhanced the trip's fun factor.
Embarq's meticulousness shone through in every aspect – the itinerary, local partnerships, hotels, and exceptional care. We only had to handle flights and visas; Embarq took care of everything else. Memories made, future Embarq trips guaranteed!

Anthony Huang

Though travel excites me, venturing off the beaten path sparks anxiety. Concerns about accommodations, safety, and food are common. As a hospitality professional with high expectations, my self-curated travel experiences set the bar even higher.
Embarq, however, surpassed all worries on my second self-drive trip with them (the first was Spain two years ago) to Arunachal Pradesh, the Indo-China border, and Kaziranga.
Every drive route was thoroughly scouted, every hotel personally inspected, and all our menus thoughtfully curated. We traversed stunning roads, visiting breathtaking locations accessible to just a lucky few. The local cuisine prepared by home cooks was a true delight, offering an authentic taste of the region and fostering a connection with the community. Words are simply insufficient.

Had the most incredible New Zealand road trip with Embarq. Discovering a country by road was a novel experience made extra special because of NZ’s stunning natural beauty & road-travel infrastructure. But the secret ingredient was the meticulous planning by Embarq. Courtesy of their efforts we were able to traverse the entire length of NZ from Auckland in the North Island right up to Archana Singh
One of the best self-drive group trips I’ve taken recently. Very well curated & organised trip keeping in mind each person’s comfort. Sujal is an amazing trip organiser & a great company to be with.

Picnic lunch in middle of the snowy mountains was cherry on a cake.. Kudos to EMBARQ. Highly recommended trust worthy travel company.

I have done 3 trips with Embarq, Scotland, Silk Route and the North East. Those were my best drives, I had driven a lot but these trips were very close TO my heart specially coz of the organizers, now they have become a family. Not to forget about their skills of organizing things so meticulously, every single small thing starting from accommodations, your safety, food, and over all the warmth you get in their friendship. They are most best organisers of road trips according to me. And I look forward for many more trips. And will cherish all the memories till my next trip.
SPL note:- Best but not the least is I always came back with a extended family after all the trips. Thank you EMBARQ.

Samrat Ashok Patil

I have done many road trips before in India and all were unplanned. Did my first planned trip and first with Embarq which I did in April of Peru and believe me it was the best road trip as of now. Embarq team makes sure that you enjoy every moment that journey has to offer.
PERU - it has so much to offer like different terrains:- from one of the driest place on the Earth to one of the highest motorable roads at 15000 ft.
With Embarq your trip is going to be one wonderful memory that you will carry all your life. All the Best Team Embarq for all your upcoming and future Tours and for your Journey of becoming the best Tour planners.

Alpana Paralkar

Came across Embarq through my friends reference and happy that he recommended to perfect team of strong girls Sujal & Medha. Excellent planning of route, paper work, selection of places for food, very well accommodating behaviour, luxurious and comfortable stay and they surprised us at every given point by giving us more than our expectations. Best part of our tour was we made friends for lifetime, we shared joy of togetherness, shared our success as it was first only women’s drive by women for women. Managing 16 women from different parts of India with different background was not an easy job they managed it so well that we blended smoothly and parting became difficult. This was the best stunt of my life and recommend everyone to try at least once and you will get addicted.
