Classic holidays planned end to end, from route and stay selection to travel support.
Customized International Holidays at Taro Voyages is a tailor-made international tour planning service for travelers, covering itinerary design, accommodation selection, visa assistance, and dietary coordination.
There is a version of you that exists only when you are standing on unfamiliar ground — more curious, more alive, more open to wonder. International travel does not just show you new places. It introduces you to parts of yourself you never knew existed. The person who returns from Japan is not quite the same person who left Chennai — and that, we believe, is the entire point.
We have spent seven years building relationships with local guides, boutique hotels, and hidden-gem restaurants across 50+ countries. Not because it looks good on paper, but because the difference between a good trip and a life-changing one lives in the details. The guide who knows which alley in Tokyo leads to the best ramen. The hotel manager in Santorini who upgrades your room because we asked. The private evening at the Uffizi in Florence when the crowds have gone. These things do not happen by accident — they happen because of relationships built over years of genuine presence in these destinations.
Based in Chennai, we understand what Indian travellers need abroad with a depth that most agencies simply do not have: vegetarian and Jain options that aren't an afterthought but a pre-arranged certainty, realistic pacing that doesn't leave you exhausted after seven cities in eight days, visa support that removes every particle of anxiety, and the confidence that someone back home is watching every detail of your journey in real time.
Every itinerary we create is a conversation, not a template. We listen to your dreams, your quirks, your must-haves and deal-breakers — and build something that feels less like a tour package and more like a story written just for you. A story that starts before you board, accompanies you through every time zone, and continues in the form of memories you'll retell for the rest of your life.
We have watched Indian travellers' relationship with international travel transform dramatically over the last decade. Where once it was about ticking off famous monuments, today's Indian traveller wants depth — a cooking class in a Sicilian grandmother's kitchen, a sunrise meditation at a Japanese Zen temple, a private game drive in the Serengeti with a tracker who grew up in the bush. This is the travel we are built to deliver. Not broader. Deeper.
Our team is made up of obsessive travellers who have personally visited every destination we recommend. We don't read about Cappadocia — we have floated over it at dawn, eaten at the cave restaurant, and stayed in the goreme suites. We don't describe the Amalfi Coast — we have driven every cliff road, swum in every cove, and debated which lemon grove makes the finest limoncello. This is the difference. And you feel it the moment you read one of our itineraries.
The world is not just a collection of places to visit. It is an archive of experiences waiting to change you — if you travel it the right way.
Japan is an island country in East Asia, in the Pacific Ocean off the northeast coast of the Asian mainland, bordered by the Sea of Japan to the west, the Sea of Okhotsk to the north, and the East China Sea to the south. The Japanese archipelago consists of four major islands alongside more than 14,000 smaller ones, and is divided into 47 administrative prefectures and eight traditional regions. Around 75% of its terrain is mountainous and heavily forested, which concentrates agriculture and the highly urbanised population along the eastern coastal plains. Tokyo is the country's capital and largest city, in a country of almost 123 million people.
Iceland is a Nordic island country between the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic, sitting on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge between Europe and North America, which makes it Europe's westernmost and most sparsely populated country. Its capital, Reykjavík, is home to about 35% of the country's roughly 395,000 residents. Iceland straddles a rift between tectonic plates, and its geologic activity includes geysers and frequent volcanic eruptions; its interior is a volcanic plateau of sand and lava fields, mountains and glaciers, with glacial rivers running to the sea through the lowlands. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, Iceland has a temperate climate despite lying just south of the Arctic Circle, though its latitude keeps summers chilly.
Peru, officially the Republic of Peru, sits in western South America, bordered by Ecuador and Colombia to the north, Brazil to the east, Bolivia to the southeast, Chile to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the south and west. It is a megadiverse country, spanning habitats from the arid plains of the Pacific coastal region, through the peaks of the Andes running from its north to its southeast, to the tropical Amazon basin rainforest in the east, home to the Amazon River. Peru has a population of over 32 million and its capital and largest city is Lima; at 1,285,216 square kilometres it is the 19th-largest country in the world and the third-largest in South America.
What Customized International Holidays actually plans and arranges.
No cookie-cutter tours. Every itinerary is built around your passions, pace, and travel personality — from the first flight to the final restaurant. We ask questions most agents never think to ask: Do you prefer museums or markets? Morning energy or slow starts? Urban density or open landscapes? The answers shape everything.
Boutique riads in Marrakech where breakfast is served on a mosaic terrace, ryokans in Kyoto where yukata robes and a steaming onsen await, cliffside villas in Santorini with caldera views that make sunrise feel like a private event — we find accommodation with character, not just star ratings.
Europe, Asia, Americas, Africa, Oceania, and the Middle East — wherever your heart wanders, we have the local expertise, ground partners, and firsthand knowledge to make it extraordinary. And we update our knowledge every year with destination visits.
Private wine tastings in a Tuscany cellar where the winemaker pours for you personally. Hot-air balloon rides over Cappadocia's fairy chimneys at dawn. Cooking classes with Bangkok's finest restaurant chefs after market visits. A private concert in a Vienna palace salon. The moments you simply cannot Google.
We handle appointment scheduling, documentation checklists, and follow-ups for every visa — Schengen, UK, US, Australia, Japan, Thailand, UAE, and beyond. We have a 98%+ visa approval rate and begin the process the moment you confirm your trip.
From the moment you land to the moment you are safely home, our team is one call or WhatsApp message away. Flight delays, hotel changes, medical emergencies, lost luggage, missed connections — we handle everything in real time so you can stay calm and stay present.
Jain, vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free — we pre-coordinate every meal across hotels, flights, and restaurants in every destination. In Japan, we carry laminated dietary cards in Japanese. In Italy, we identify the authentic pizzerias that make excellent margherita. No food anxiety abroad.
Pre-loaded forex cards at competitive rates delivered to your doorstep before departure. No airport queues, no ATM fees. Plus a destination-specific SIM card, plug adapter, offline maps setup, and a 30-minute pre-departure briefing call with your destination specialist.
We arrange comprehensive policies covering medical emergencies up to ₹1 crore, trip cancellation, flight delays, baggage loss, and emergency evacuation. Starting from ₹2,500 for 7 days — we make the paperwork invisible and the coverage total.
Travelling with children or parents requires a completely different itinerary architecture — earlier dinners, rest windows, age-appropriate activities, room configurations that work. We have planned thousands of multi-generational international trips and we know every nuance.
Every booking includes a destination guide curated specifically for Indian travellers: cultural etiquette, tipping norms, metro systems, safety zones, neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood maps, and vegetarian restaurant shortlists. You land informed, not anxious.
Life happens. We build flexibility into every itinerary and can adjust bookings up to 48 hours before each activity. Changed your mind about a city? Want one more day in a place you love? We rearrange without drama or penalty wherever possible.
Every service starts with a human brief and turns into a confirmed scope only after the route, inclusions, and budget band make sense.
Share traveller profile, dates, budget comfort, non-negotiables, and any safety or logistics constraints.
Taro shortlists the right destinations, stays, experiences, routing, and supplier options for this service.
The team refines inclusions, exclusions, quote basis, documents, payment milestones, and cancellation terms.
Travel support stays attached through the journey, with coordination for changes, local assistance, and follow-ups.
Yes, completely. We provide a detailed documentation checklist, fill applications on your behalf where permitted, schedule VFS or consulate appointments, review documents for errors before submission, and track application status actively. We have a 98%+ visa approval rate across Schengen, UK, Japan, Australia, UAE, USA, and New Zealand applications. For complex cases like US B2 or UK visas, we brief you on the interview approach.
Every itinerary we create is completely bespoke. There are no fixed tours or group packages — everything from the hotels you stay in to the restaurants you dine at is chosen based on your preferences. Most clients go through 2–3 rounds of revisions before finalising. You can change hotels, swap cities, add or remove experiences, or change the pace entirely. The final itinerary feels like it was designed by someone who knows you.
We handle everything from solo travellers to groups of 60+. For families, 4–8 people typically gives the best experience richness and value. For groups above 15 people, we assign a dedicated group coordinator and negotiate group rates at hotels and on flights. Groups of 25+ travelling together can often unlock charter arrangements or exclusive villa bookings.
Travel insurance is quoted separately and we strongly recommend comprehensive coverage. Our partner insurers provide policies covering medical emergencies (up to ₹1 crore), emergency medical evacuation, trip cancellation, baggage loss, flight delay compensation, and passport loss. A typical 10-day international policy starts at ₹3,500. We handle the paperwork and claims support if needed.
You receive a dedicated trip WhatsApp group before departure with your booking summary, emergency contacts, and destination guide. Our support team is active 24/7 throughout your trip — flight delays, hotel issues, medical emergencies, lost passports, or schedule changes. Your local guide's contacts are also shared. In our seven years of operation, no traveller has ever been stranded or unassisted.
We treat dietary requirements as a non-negotiable planning element. We pre-brief every hotel and restaurant, identify the best vegetarian options in each city, coordinate airline meals, and for Japan and Korea, provide laminated dining cards in the local script explaining your requirements. For Jain dietary needs, we identify strictly Jain-compliant options in every destination and brief guides specifically.
Our support team monitors your flights actively. If a significant disruption occurs that affects your itinerary, we immediately begin rebooking alternatives, inform your hotel of the revised arrival, and adjust downstream arrangements. We guide you through airline compensation claims (EU261 rules can entitle you to €250–600 per person for European delays). You will not navigate this alone.
This is something we do exceptionally well. We secretly coordinate flower arrangements, private beach dinners, celebration cakes, in-room decorations, and destination photographers. We have arranged marriage proposals on the Santorini caldera at sunset, anniversary dinners in a private room at the base of the Eiffel Tower, and surprise overwater villa turndowns with floating flower baths in the Maldives.
Our speciality is private custom tours — we do not run cookie-cutter group packages. However, we do organise small-group curated departures (maximum 12 people) for specific routes like Japan in cherry blossom season and Europe in autumn, 2–3 times a year. These offer better value for solo travellers and couples who enjoy structured socialising. Follow our Instagram for upcoming dates.
We follow a tiered cancellation policy based on lead time: cancellations 60+ days before departure receive a full refund minus a ₹5,000 admin fee. 30–60 days: 75% refund. 15–30 days: 50% refund. Under 15 days: based on supplier policies (flights and pre-paid hotels are often non-refundable). We strongly recommend cancellation insurance for high-value trips.
Simply reach out via WhatsApp, our website form, or by phone. We schedule a 20–30 minute discovery call with your dedicated destination specialist. No forms to fill, no brochures to read. Just a conversation about where you want to go, what excites you, your rough dates, and your budget. Within 48 hours of that call, we send a preliminary itinerary concept for your reaction.
Absolutely — multi-generational travel is one of our specialities. We design itineraries with two parallel tracks: higher-energy activities for younger travellers while ensuring comfortable pacing, accessible transport, ground-floor or lift-accessible accommodation, and proximity to medical facilities for senior family members. We have taken families spanning three generations to Japan, Europe, and the Maldives seamlessly.
Online platforms sell components — hotels, flights, and transfer vouchers. We sell a coherent, curated experience with a single point of responsibility. When something goes wrong at 2am in a foreign country, you are not filing a form on a website — you are calling a person who knows your trip inside out and will fix it. That accountability, and the depth of local expertise we bring, is what you pay for.
Send dates, travellers, preferred style, and the level of support you need. The team will return with a practical route and quote basis before any booking step.
