Thank you

Depth of knowledge and years of experience of YQT came through every point of my touring experience. With the logistics and planning taken care of I was free to just enjoy and marvel at India. A good balance of historical/spiritual sites and downtime, fun and relaxation, I highly recommend Yoga Quest Tours.

My wife, daughter and I travelled through southern India with Yusuf of Yoga Quest Tours on one of his tours of the religious sites of southern India. I cannot say enough about this trip. This was our first time in India and did not know what to expect and set the bar pretty low. Wow, were we wrong! Yusuf toured with us for almost three weeks and everything was coordinated perfectly. There was nothing that did not go as it should. The hotels he organised were wonderful and the sites he took us to were amazing. If Yusuf was stressed about anything, he did not show it. He was pleasant all the time, helpful beyond words and I would highly recommend using him.

I have travelled on two yatras organised by Yoga Quest Tours and am incredibly grateful for Yusuf and his team’s attention to detail and focus on an excellent experience. In my mind, they can work miracles.

They both organise and provide valuable input and advice for planning an excellent itinerary. They are resourceful at troubleshooting along the way. My all-time favourite was someone asking Yusuf to find a harmonium for that evening. We were staying in a small town at the time yet he somehow managed to pull it off! Having Yusuf along on the trip is also very reassuring for those travellers to India for the first time as he is always keeping an eye out for folks and checking in.

Finally, his positive presence and sense of humour enhance any trip. For organisers, he is responsive, professional and willing to share his expertise. I highly recommend Yoga Quest Tours!

We travelled to Maharashtra and visited sacred sites under the care of Yusuf and Yoga Quest Tours. We were well taken care of in all the important ways such as safe travel to sites of interest, beautiful lodgings, delicious and safe-to-eat food banquets, and clean water. Yusuf was very skilled and organised in managing the needs of our group on the go, as we toured. We always felt safe, and well taken care of and we had a good resource to answer our questions.

My trip to India with Yusuf and Hareesh was magical. Yusuf’s kindness, knowledge, ability to handle travel hiccups, and mastery of group dynamics exceeded my expectations. Yusuf was attentive and kept our safety a priority. He made each of us feel like our unique experience of India was his top priority. His warmth and generous heart were always on display. I highly recommend a trip with Yusuf.

My first experience in India was with one of Yoga Quest Tours. Everything was organised impeccably by their experts, and I felt completely at ease and was able to enjoy a spiritual pilgrimage. The highlight was the regular darshans at temples which were rarely visited by Westerners. These encounters proved transformative in bringing my yoga studies alive. I have since taken two more tours with the YQT and have no hesitation in recommending them.

In 2016, I was lucky to experience being in the capable hands of Yusuf and his crew for a 10-day tour of southern India. I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. Yusuf and his team were professional and knowledgeable and made the trip both interesting and fun.

Yusuf and Yoga Quest Tours could not possibly be more dedicated, attentive, or caring travel coordinators. Yusuf is highly sensitive, he listens closely to your needs, and he will move mountains to fulfil them. He is both a funny and a loving person – very easy to be around. I have held retreats and spiritual journeys around the globe and I can say that it is Yusuf’s guidance and support that I rate most highly amongst my global network of retreat owners and coordinators. I do not hesitate to call him a master of his art.

And it is an art – moving people around the country, safely and with ease, handling a lot of moving parts, and all with an attitude of the most caring customer service. It’s not just that the back end works smoothly – it does! – it’s that my students and clients feel supported and honoured as individuals, not just as a group.

It’s just magic!

I cannot recommend working with Yusuf and his team at Yoga Quest Tours more highly. Absolute top marks.

I have traveled to Southern India with Yusuf three times in the last five years. Every time I travel with him I am amazed by the highest level of service, attention to detail and his devotion to providing his clients with the highest level of comfort possible so that they may focus on their time on pilgrimage. Yusuf ensures that you can attend to your spiritual practice, access temples, and get the most from once in a lifetime journeys. Over the years we have become close friends and I can tell you that you won’t find a kinder, funnier and more devoted chaperone in India. His staff is professional and his ability to bridge Indian culture and Western culture is so comforting for anyone traveling to India for the first time.
