I would like to pass a testimonial to Ms. Alifiya Calcuttawala for the phenomenal work she is doing in giving an experiential holiday. She had planned my family (me, my wife and my daughter) trip to Italy and it was planned to perfection, taking care of each of our requirements from the holiday. The hotels were selected not only as per budget but also from the locational advantage. The places to visit were included based on our interests. We visited the historical places with guides as otherwise we would not have understood the finer details of the place. The Amalfi coast was a treat and proper time was given in this area. Even the location of good Indian restaurants was given as this was our requirement.
As a testimony to her good work we again travelled to Vietnam this year through her company and again we had a fantastic experience.
I actively refer Ms. Alifiya to my friends and family and wish her all the best.
Gallivant Global framed a trip to New Zealand for me and my wife. We went in the second week of January 2025 and returned back in the last week, respectively. Over the past two weeks, we experienced what we never experienced ever before ! We made some lifetime memories which we both will cherish over the years to come ! All thanks to Gallivant Global and their constant persuasion to explore the unexplored and to get out of the so called comfort zone of traditional travelling.

One of my cousins who is getting married in November 2024 is coming from the USA. Along with him his friends are also coming to India for the marriage. He had called me for planning a 3-day holiday for his friends in India and I had no other name in mind other than Alifiya.
Alifiya did put in a lot of effort to convert this lead as there were a lot of discussions and changes till, we came to the final itinerary. The discussions were in odd hours as my cousin is based in USA.
I believe that the visitors are going to have a great holiday in India and will go back with fond memories.
Wishing Alifiya and her team all the very best for her future endeavors.

The planning of our family trip to Dubai, hospitality by her team, coverage of tourist locations all were too good... Keep up the good work Alifiya
My parents and their friends were traveling for a 2 week trip to Spain and Italy. Not only did Alifiya and her team at Gallivant Travels plan the trip meticulously, she ensured their specific requirements were well taken of, and also was very patient as my father went through multiple iterations of his itinerary deciding which places they wanted to cover. She was spot on in her suggestions and was always available to answer any questions my parents had. She even checked on their well being during the course of the trip. This isn’t the first time I have referred or used Alifiya and she has never failed to deliver on her services. Wishing her the very best in curating even finer holidays to more exotic destinations.
Hi... I had the prevelage to travel to Paris and Switzerland with my wife and 2 kids aged 12 and 14. Whole trip was very thoughtfully designed by Alifiya Calcuttawala of the Gallivantglobal. She made sure that we all enjoy the trip to the fullest by taking into consideration our individual preferences. She called us all to her office and made the trip accordingly. I can vouch for her services that you can't find a better travelling partner than Gallivantglobal regarding pricing and comfort. She makes the itinerary according to your budget. So what are you waiting for. Start travelling.
Our holiday in December with Gallavant Global to Assam and Meghalaya was a dream come true. We were all seniors and the utmost care was given to us. Every day was well spaced out and activities carefully selected so that we don’t tire ourselves. This consideration was very heartening. The hotels were very comfortable and centrally located, our van was in excellent condition and our driver Akon was immaculate in his driving, patience and caring nature. Alifya you gave us memories we will cherish all our lives. We look forward to more holidays with you in future. Our experience was great because everything went on oiled wheels. The driver was excellent and skilled and a beautiful caring soul.

Testimonial for Ms Alifiya Calcuttawala
Area Director - BNI Kolkata CBD(A) & North
I have known Ms Alifiya Calcuttawala through BNI Kolkata only but that's not the point.
I have very closely observed her as an Entrepreneur and Leader in the past few years. I have recommended her to several connections who were willing to travel to destinations, not forgetting to mention that she has been my & and my family's one-stop solution for our travel needs and she has done exceedingly well whenever we connected with her!!
It so happened that during this time we were planning for a 3-day summit for our region's Top Leaders (75+ leaders) She recommended Kushal Palli in Purulia District (West Bengal) keeping in mind the larger interest of the summit as she felt the venue would full fill all our requirements.
From the word GO - From ticketing to onboarding to hospitality to the best of rooms, you name it, it was all there in the package. The seamless execution & and finesse propelled my entire team to state that these 3 days experience was not only classy but memorable!!
It would be unfair for me to say that the whole experience was a Wow, if there is any word that comes to your mind then it was just BEYOND WOW!!
If u are looking forward to a hassle-free holiday/summit - Ms Alifiya Calcuttawala could be the solution provider!!
I do foresee Ms. Alifiya Calcuttawala having a great entrepreneurial and leadership journey ahead in the months and years to come.
I wish Ms. Alifiya Calcuttawala all the very best for all their future endeavours.
Alifiya and her team were extremely helpful and accommodated special requests from us because we had an infant in the group. Though we had a little rushed time due to arranging international fund transfer, I think that can be mitigated if more heads up is given to the client. Apart from this, we are very grateful to have done our travel (which was arranged perfectly) by this company. Surely recommend and we would redirect to back to them if needed when we travel again.
