Testimonials
We have just come back from an amazing, unique trip to Sri Lanka, with Nicole from Red Door Tours June 2025.
Very well organised, excellent communication, flexible, a great mix of culture, unique local experiences, creativity plus travelling with like-minded friendly people.
Loved the Women’s Co-Op’s, seeing the traditional loom weaving, hand painting bags, temples, Sri Lankan food, Ceylon tea, drinking & eating fresh coconuts, climbing Lion rock, elephant Safari, & of course the shopping!
This was our 4th trip with Nicole from Red Door Tours. Morocco, Northern India, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka & the Maldives.
Highly recommend doing a tour with Red Door Tours. So many fabulous memories. Thanks Nicole.
Caroline and Bruce, Sri Lanka 2025
Nicole could not have done more for all her guests on this trip. The daily plan was clearly explained & our What’s App group aided communication even more. The team of Sri Lankan guides were excellent and could not have been more helpful and of very good humour.
It was extremely relaxed & all activities were clearly explained & options offered.AND very generous snacks on the bus( sweet & dry biscuits-crackers. And fruit. And on a few occasions- ice creams! Yum!
I enjoyed the trip immensely.

Julie – Southern India, 2024
Having used several tour companies with reasonable/ok/quite good service, Red Door Tours was an eye opener! So much thought and care has gone into the experiences and adventures Nicole has chosen made the trip quite simply, fantastic!
We experienced first hand how it is to prepare and cook in an Indian household; seeing numerous cultural events; visiting both standard and different historic sites; and, best of all, visiting artisans and crafts people who still practise their arts as they have for hundreds of years.
Nicole made sure all our tastes were catered for, whether shopping, history, culture. Her preparations were wonderful – individual cards with any “help” number we could possibly need including personalised insurance information.
Above and beyond, is this tour and I highly recommend it.
Chris – Southern India, 2024
The very essence of Southern India was totally captured on my Red Door Tour with Nicole.
My sensory experience was incredible, and the tour provided countless opportunities for tastes, textules, sights, sounds and aromas that intertwine and explode in India.
The Red Door Tours ethos, organisation and actual jounrey all exceeded my expectations and were true to the descriptions provided online and in social media, demonstrating the integrity of Nicole and her bespoke tours.
The thoughtfully curated tour allows for immersion in the diversity, vibrance, contradictory, flawed but fabulous society and culture that India is.
Nicole and her team were able to provide this opportunity in a safe, secure, and fully supported manner allowing peace of mind and the ability to submerse oneself comfortably.
