Client Testimonials
Phurr travels are very good tour organiser, we appreciate their sincerity and public dealing very much from our hearts. The organiser used to take too much pain for their esteemed customers. In fact Mr Gaurav Kumar is a nice gentleman who is the main architect behind all the tours. They can be contacted for any forthcoming tours. All the best.
- Kamal Kumar Srivastava (Lucknow)Back from a lovely trip with unknown people. At first I had some apprehensions bcoz I had found this group on Facebook and I had shortlisted it as it was budget friendly. My daughter encouraged me so I took the leap of faith and now I thank god for that!! Gaurav became a friend a travel buddy in couple of hrs...very caring but also at times giving that extra push so that no one miss anything that will be regretted afterwards. He even took care to keep us entertained by playing tambola and antakshari after the day tour when everyone seemed to be engaged in their mobile. Thank you Gaurav for accompanying us on those random shopping plans. I totally enjoyed the trip and looking forward for more info future.
- Sunita Tharad Nangalia (Kolkata)Review time! So it started with my mother coming across this page “Phurr” which is a travel group for 45 + people. She wanted to try this as she always wishes to travel and explore places but somehow the timing never matched with our schedule. However what made her more interested was that the trips were very budget friendly (to take that risk of even if it does not go well its fine!). I must say I was very much apprehensive about whether she will enjoy and most importantly if she would be comfortable, would there be someone to help in those small needs when you travel at that age, will there be someone to assist her with the luggage etc during the journey, how will she commute from the station to hotel, what if the hotels and activities mentioned in the itinerary does not match to the actual, etc and etc. Even so I took details of all the hotel reservations and contact numbers before her trip started but none of them was of any use..all thanks to Gaurav! As soon as my mother boarded the train he was in touch with her. Even so he figured out that the train was running late much before even I did. He was there on the station waiting for her and I knew that I can worry less with such a great start. Also my mother was amazed with all the arrangements, the hotels was exactly as mentioned in the itinerary. Also there were so many activities, games involved in between the sight seeings that she had a lot of fun along with the other group members. So much so, that she had no time to even call me or talk to me much during the trip. She mentioned that Gaurav was an awesome travel buddy and ensured each member is having fun always. After this wonderful experience I am insisting my mother to travel more with Phurr. I strongly recommend this travel group. Happy travelling!!
- Yashi Nangalia (Mumbai)My daughter sponsored a 4 days tour package for me through Phurr - A Travel and Adventure Group for 45+/ Senior citizens to Jaipur-Ranthambore-Agra. Phurr Travel organiser Mr. Gaurav Kumar’s interaction with travellers is really good. He listens to every ones needs and problems very patiently and solves them quickly, encouraging the travellers to travel with ease. He provides service of guides at each and every place. Those who find it difficult to walk or climb on the 1st day were found doing these easily from the next day onwards. Thus their confidence level and energy level increases day by day. I have enjoyed sightseeing, seeing tigers from their living place, seeing Palaces and forts and swimming at the heritage resort. The stay and food provided was also very good. I enjoyed the trip very much. I love to travel with Phurr Travel group again as it gives plenty of Phurr. The care of the organiser Mr. Gaurav Kumar and the wonderful everlasting memories of the travel will remain forever in my memory. In my opinion giving a chance to travel with Phurr – A Travel Group to your parents and elders will surely change their minds as the tour stimulates their stamina level and confidence. So I recommend everyone to give a chance and encourage 45+/ Senior citizens to experience a travel through Phurr A Travel Group. ….Hats off to Mr. Gaurav Kumar, the organiser of Phurr a Travel and Adventure Group.
- Remadevi IC (Kerala)Phurr... the name itself describes it all and when you want to Phurr from your daily chaos and worries, you want to spend time in comfort and enjoyable state. This is what Gaurav has done for many of us till date. Besides a good human being, he is an excellent Travel Buddy for us seniors We were with him for Gujarat Trip which went up so well that how 9 days get Phurr, we did not realize. Love to travel with him again n again. Gaurav, hope you and your witty nature and passion for travel and care and love for your group participants will never change.
- Rajesh Khanna (Delhi)Gaurav, my perception about group tours has completely changed. Never expected such a tremendous fulfilment of dreams of having such like-minded friends in my maiden group travel. Your attention and support to all of us was amazing. There was not a single flaw in whole of our tour. Selection of hotels and resorts was at its best. Food served in hotels was very delicious. Your idea of birthday celebration of two of our members was excellent and praiseworthy and dance performance by African tribes at Gir was an added attraction. I will definitely recommend Phurr Travel to all my friends and family members. I wish you every success in your venture. Looking forward to joining some more tours with you.
- Subhash Oberoi (Delhi)Hey it's my 2nd trip with Phurr this year, the first being Gujarat trip in Jan and the 2nd to the recently concluded Rajasthan tour. Both the trips were more vibrant and delightful than the places visited because of one and only major factor that is the gallant, efficient, sensitive and caring Travel Buddy Gaurav Kumar. He is a great organizer, planner, observer, a patient listener, buddy, bro, sunny, consoler, friend and a sport. The hotels, havelis, tents, safaris, food, local guides, vehicle, driver all were selected and coordinated in a very suitable and safe way for one and all. Hence once again I do not hesitate in recommending Phurr especially to all elderly people who want to explore new places with sense of full safety, happiness and oneness
- Rekha Deepak (Bangalore)Leh had been on my bucket list for a long time. A message from Gaurav from Phurr Travels on Facebook came as god sent. I have to admit that it was a very comfortable and enjoyable trip. Right from the welcome at IGI airport till the warm bye-bye hug on my return everything was well planned. The hotel, the camps, the food, the car drivers, everything was just perfect. Each and every point was considered for the comfort and safety of elderly and senior citizens. There was fun, there was music, there was dance and there was masti. It was a group full of lively people. Gaurav also kept giving good medical advice on and off and took care of each one equally. A very memorable trip indeed. Looking forward to travelling more with Phurr. Stay blessed Gaurav.
- Nandita Ahuja (Mumbai)The tour conducted for Meghalaya and Assam by Phurr travel group was just rocking and no stone unturned in terms of facilities and arrangements. Hats off to Gaurav, the boss who treated all the senior travelers as family members. His personal care made us so emotional at the time of departure that we were all teary eyed. The group of 20 a cosmopolitan group was all one family and we thank Gaurav for bringing in new friends to our kitty
- Shankar Ranganna (Bangalore)Myself Mandeep Singh aged 67 recently concluded my first ever solo trip with a group of travellers to Meghalaya.The tour organised by Phurr Travels was well worth it.— We visited Guwahati, Shillong, Cherrapunji, making new friends, enjoying the scenic beauty and bliss of the North East.
The tour was awesome, a great mood changer where all travelling individuals and couples from various parts of the country assembled together at Guwahati airport waiting lounge as instructed, everyone’s faces radiated with much excitement and enthusiasm to explore the unexplored.
The young, qualified and dynamic Tour Manager Ms.Shubhi and her assistant Ms.Pragya made sure that all from the 45+ age group to the senior citizen travellers were well looked after and comfortable at every stage.
The Hotel accommodation, meals and transportation was par excellence. Being a senior citizen myself felt very safe to travel solo, would go on to convincingly recommend Phurr Travels as your travel partner.
The Owner Mr.Gaurav, a keen and experienced traveller himself is always ready to answer any travel related query and ensures that we have a smooth and cheerful experience.
Thanks to team Phurr enabling me to take home such fond and refreshing memories to share with family and friends.
