"The entire Vesna Tours team, but Mishkat in particular, have been absolutely essential partners of The MBA Tour for many years. Mishkat and his team are consummate professionals, and manage our travel and event logistics with efficiency and ease. When working with Vesna, we know that our travelers needs will be anticipated and met before they even have a chance to ask. We look forward to continuing our working relationship with Vesna for many years to come."

“ For over a two decades we've used Vesna Tours in India and the Middle East. Though my company utilizes countless travel companies across the globe, the gold standard is always Vesna Tours. Everything, from start to finish is perfect, and remains ideal even when we’ve been tossed into wildly unexpected sand storms, riots, city lock-downs, floods, attempted coups, extreme weather etc. No matter what has been thrown their way, the Vesna team examines it, dissects it, and makes sure that my tour members are safe, comfortable, and happy. Sometimes, in the worst of situations, my tour members didn’t even notice that circumstances were forcing us to make quick changes, because Vesna had seen it, calculated what needed to happen, and instantaneously made adjustments ensuring everything was smooth, calm and unnoticeable. They are amazing ! There is, quite frankly, no better Tour operator on the planet than Vesna, and after thirty-five years of leading tours, I can say this with the greatest of confidence. ”

“ We have used Vesna Tours for the past few years for our study tours and found their service to be exemplary. Vesna is a pleasure to work with and provides fantastic customer service prior to departure, on the ground and post tour. Our tours are complex but working with Vesna ensures our tours are run smoothly especially when unexpected issues occur. It’s great to have Vesna as our partner! ”

“ I can’t say enough about Vesna Tours as my travel expert when traveling in India and all South Asia. Mishkat and his team listen and take the time to really understand what is important to me when planning my recruitment tours. The team is friendly, professional, flexible and well informed. They efficiently deal with any travel issues we may have even those that occur at the last minute. Every detail they arrange for us includes the best: drivers, tour guides, and hotel, flight recommendations. I have worked with Mishkat and his team on numerous travel experiences over many years and plan to continue to do so. I really trust Vesna Tours. ”

“ I have had the privilege of working with Vesna Tours for many years as they supported Rotman’s Global Executive MBA Program throughout our travels in India and the Middle East. The dedicated team quickly proved to be extremely reliable, trustworthy and continuously looking out for the interests of our students, faculty and staff. From booking hotels and international flights, to on-the-ground support between universities, company visits, events and cultural activities, Vesna provided the utmost care in every interaction. Their professional staff are always available to manage questions and third-party arrangements with ease. We are ever-grateful for the warm welcome we receive upon arrival, their five-star hospitable service and impeccable attention to detail. ”

“ Vesna Tours have been providing us with travel and event management solutions for just over five years now. During this time, we have benefitted from the access they have to exclusive rates and more importantly strong networks and relationships across the sector in India and South Asia. Their staff are very hard working and genuinely care about client wellbeing and safety. I would happily recommend their services. ”

“ Vesna is quite simply one of the best travel providers that you could work with. Their full-service mentality really is comprehensive—our group had support at any time of day and for any task, before and during travel, and I was confident at all times that any task being handled by Vesna was going to be taken care of perfectly. Our pre-trip planning was simple, and our tour manager was on hand at all times to inform our planning logistics from big details to small ones. Supporting a group of 22 students and 2 faculty and staff is a large task, and Vesna really did make the planning a lot less stressful for us by being hands-on and willing to fill in gaps where we were unable to. While we were on the ground, Vesna made my life so much easier—they took care of tasks that normally I would handle myself, allowing me to enjoy my time abroad even more. The students bonded with our tour manager and have maintained contact with him since.. I can’t say enough good things about working with Vesna! ”

“ We have been working with Vesna Tours for the past 4 years and thanks to their great professionalism and dedication our events in India are always very well organised. They always have solution for any problem and are ready to support us literally with any request at any time. Mishkat and Muskaan and the whole team of Vesna Tours are already an integral part of our Access MBA and Access Masters teams in India.

“ I have used Vesna now for several years. I undertake international recruitment in India for Staffordshire University; requiring three visits each year to a range of cities in India, from Delhi to Kolhapur, from Chennai to Coimbatore. Vesna are always the agent I use, for the booking of internal flights (where they get good rates and allow me to access low cost airlines that can only be booked in India), the booking of hotels (where they again get good rates) and for local cars, where they can arrange airport pickups as well as cars for daily use, for travelling between colleges and agencies that we work with. Their communications are good and the staff very professional and easy to work with. ”
