Devi Krishnan

Devi was an excellent travel advisor. She helped make all our hotel bookings and activities and took care of any issues that came up. She suggested good restaurants in every place. All our special experiences were curated beautifully based on our interest. We especially loved our desert safari experience as well as the cooking class we took as a family in Marrakech. The riad hotel in Fes and the kasbah hotel near Dades Valley were unique stays with great breakfast options and wonderful service all around. It was a well streamlined itinerary that Devi put together for us, taking the hassle out of planning such a packed trip. We would rate her services 5-star.

Devi was very helpful suggesting things to do as well as planning an itinerary for every day. We were overwhelmed starting the process on our own so her framework was great. It gave us things to book and look forward to but also left plenty of time for exploring on our own!

The booking experience was smooth and easy. Devi made sure we had the billing reference with us before we started our travel and there was no issues at all checking in.

Devi is a excellent travel planner. She spent a lot of time talking with us to understand what we wanted to do in Japan as a family and came up with an itinerary that, somehow and magically, met everyone's needs and expectations. We made numerous suggestions and had many questions. She was very patient throughout the process. Once we finalized the itinerary, she made all the bookings for us. She also recommended curated experiences for us, all of which were spot on. Before the journey she made sure that we had a detailed day by day "calendar" with all confirmed bookings of stay and activities. We never felt pressured to make any decisions while working with her and the schedule had enough flexibility to accommodate our own plans as well. We have no hesitation in recommending her. We guarantee you will be happy that you used her to plan your next vacation.

When my much-anticipated Kumano Kodo trail plans fell through, I reached out to Devi. I’ve been using her extraordinary itineraries since her Europe trip in 2002, so I knew she’d come up with something amazing. The trail goes through lots of small towns and villages and finding overnight accommodations would have been difficult, and Devi went the extra mile by contacting several local travel companies before booking it through Oku Japan. She made sure our vegetarian diet needs were met in the traditional Japanese inns and arranged luggage transfers. On top of that, she built out this incredible Tokyo and Kyoto itinerary, booked our hotels, and even set up unique experiences like sake and tea tastings that matched our interests.

Thanks to Devi, what could have been a disappointment turned into one of the best trips ever—spiritual, seamless, and fun.
