Since 1973A family travel business

BespokeLeisure and corporate trips

24×7Reachable 365 days a year

Getting people where they want to go, for three generations.

1973

when the family business first opened its doors.

Makson began as part of a larger joint family business in 1973 and set out on its own in 1998, starting with car rentals.

One trip led to another. Travel soon became the heart of what we do, and today we’re a boutique agency of five people, building bespoke travel for families, couples and companies.

We’re small on purpose. When you call, you speak to someone who knows your booking and, very often, the place you’re going.

Why travel with Makson

Four things our clients tell us keep them coming back, trip after trip.

Bespoke, with a personal touch

Every trip is planned around you, not picked off a shelf of packages.

First-hand experience

We travel extensively ourselves, so our advice comes from having been there.

Special India market rates

Direct contracts with hotels and partners, with the savings passed on to you.

A trusted network

Reliable, experienced vendors and suppliers, built up over decades.

Why book with a travel agent at all?

Booking sites are fine, right up until something goes wrong. Here’s what you get with us instead.

  • A real person

    You deal with, and pay, an actual person.

  • Scam radar

    We can tell a bad deal from a good one. Online, there are plenty of bad ones.

  • We know where to go

    And, just as usefully, where not to.

  • Connections

    Relationships with hotels and suppliers that booking sites don’t have.

  • Delays? Handled

    Flight delayed or cancelled? We sort it out.

  • Better prices

    We can usually get you a better rate.

  • More than a flight

    Hotels, visas, transfers, insurance and forex, all in one place.

  • We do the research

    So you don’t spend your evenings comparing tabs.

  • 24×7, 365 days

    Someone is always reachable while you’re away.

We go and see for ourselves.

Every year we attend the major travel trade fairs around the world to meet partners in person, inspect properties and find new places for our clients.
