We had an excellent experience with Kash for our trip to Australia & NZ 2 years ago. This trip included South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana and he did the whole planning for us. He promptly gave us a detailed itinerary at the very outset & was flexible when we asked for a few tiny tweaks to suit our tastes. His rates are most reasonable and we felt that he was just a phone call/e-mail away to answer our questions. The text of our e-mail to him says everything. "Let us thank you for a wonderful holiday, everything worked out excellently. There were no problems of any kind. This was indeed one of the best vacations we had. Your suggestions about the Chobe trip and others were excellent. South African airlines was great. They treated us very well. We enjoyed every tour and the hotels, our favorites were the safaris. If we were to do again, we wouldn't change a thing. We knew we couldn't go wrong with you, that is why we got back to you. "<br/>

We used Kash to plan a four week adventure to New Zealand and Australia. It was a very customized trip based on our input and our plan to meet up with our daughter who was doing a semester abroad. We worked with Kash remotely and everything went off without a hitch. Every B&B, every tour, and every tour guide were exceptional. This trip was loaded with lifetime memories. We would highly recommend Kash and use him again.

Kash planned my trips to AUS/NZ in 05 and Peru in 2011. Both were trips of a lifetime filled with unique experiences. His recommendations for tours, hotels and transportation were spot on. He is easy to work with and offers valuable suggestions for making the most of your vacation.

Kash was an excellent agent to work with for our NZ Honeymoon. I found him online and was in touch with him the next day. We discussed (over phone, email, and once in person) in the coming days and weeks what I was looking for in a surprise honeymoon trip to NZ.
He took my desires to the drawing board and pieced together a great trip within the budget we were looking at. Great mix of activities and he was clearly knowledgeable.
He is nice, responsive, and delivers. All you need!

Kash was a tremendous help in putting together our family vacation to Australia, which included visits to Brisbane, Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Sydney, Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road tour. He coordinated all the US to Australia flights for several of us starting out in different US cities, as well as all the internal Australian travels. Kash suggested numerous places to visit, places to stay and activities and tours for us to participate in. At each destination and hotel, there was a resounding statement among all the family members that Kash had picked the perfect hotel for us and wonderful tours and activities. He was knowledgeable, patient and extremely responsive during our planning stages. I would definitely recommend Kash to anyone considering a visit to Australia!

I have to say Kash was able to deliver in such a short period of time. His attention to detail was SPOT ON! I typically am reluctant about using an agent because I like to do my homework before I decide on traveling somewhere out of the country. After meeting face to face with Kash, he made me feel like he knew what I wanted to do and worked within my budget. Coordinating such tasks from a distance is difficult to begin with but with Kash he has all the right connections and by far exceeded all my expectations! I will definitely be using him in the near future if I decide to venture out to the South Pacific or Africa. Kash is the MAN!

We have used Kash's services many times and are always very happy with the arrangements. He listens to what we request and makes very helpful suggestions. He is very good at planning things in an order that makes the most sense to really get the most of the travel experience. He defers to in country experts, when needed, to ensure our experience is the best it can be. He has found us the most knowledgeable, engaging and interesting private tour guides in our various travels. He know when to recommend plane, train or car. We wouldn't call anyone else for our travel plans.

Kash is very knowledgeable about both islands in New Zealand and set up a great trip for the four of us. Our three week trip ran very smoothly just as planned. He was also very patient answering all our questions and explaining the details of the many different day tours we could take. We highly recommend him.

I have used Baryia Travel on numerous vacations for air, hotel, rental cars, excursions etc. since 1994. He is very knowledgable and extremely responsive to all my inquiries and believe me there are many. His willingness to dig to find the best alternative to fit your needs are something you won't get from a big box travel location. And, his experience is unparalleled. You get an answer based on experience rather than what he read in a brochure. If you want a top notch personalized experience, look no further. P.S. He happens to be a real nice guy to boot!

Kash was very helpful in planning our NZ honeymoon. He listened to what we wanted and helped to customize the trip so that we could get the most out of each excursion and see the country in the time that we had. Even when we were on the trip and had questions, he was very responsive and eager to help. I'm glad we listen to his recommendations and he helped to make the trip one we will not forget!

My wife and I went to Kash with a list of things we would like to see and do in Australia. He created a custom four week trip for just the two of us. Everything went perfectly. We were always picked up on time and as planned for our tours and at airports. His recommended day tours and hotels were great. We now have a life time of wonderful memories of our trip.

This is the 4th trip, I have booked with Kash Patel at Baryia Travel. He has built trips for us to Australia, to Argentina and Chile, to Ecuador and the Galapagos and to South Africa and Zimbabwe. Kash is fantastic! He really gets to know you and to learn what your goals are for your trip. He has chosen some outstanding inns and hotels for us to stay. My three favorite hotels ever were Pash choices in Quita, in Atacama de Pedro in Northern Chile and in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. He is excellent in working with travel companies and guides and we have always had impeccable service and wonderful, smooth travel experiences. I give Kash my very highest recommendation. He is lovely and gracious to work with. he is thoughtful. If a small issue arises, he is responsive and quick to address it and resolve it. He is the best!

We began to use Kash Patel at Bariya Travel nine years ago when we were going to New Zealand. Since then he has helped to book at least one trip per year to places as varied as Israel, Scotland, Barcelona/Spain, Rome-Tuscan Hills, Florence, and Venice, as well as Denmark, Paris, St. Thomas, Cancun, London,Ireland, San Juan, etc.
He has found unique places for us to stay a 3- century old manor house in Yorkshire hills, to great restaurants. He is good at listening to use, and finding great deals. He has booked trips and B&Bs for us which isn't easy. Early on we had kids 5 and 7, and now 14 year-old and 17-year old a boy and girl. He is so patient, and so smart thre is really no one better in our section of the world than Kash.
