Creating Unforgettable Experiences
Our concierge-style approach delivers a highly personalised service, with all arrangements handled by one consultant. Our suggested itineraries are just that – a starting point to be shaped into a holiday 100% tailored around you and your travel style. Our small team of experienced travel experts have intimate knowledge of the destination and provide honest advice about destinations they have travelled to and hotels in which they have stayed.
The personalised service doesn’t stop at your destination. Our trusted local representatives are available to ensure everything runs smoothly. A hand-picked team of private English-speaking guides, passionate about sharing their knowledge of the places they live in, will accompany you. You will travel in comfortable private chauffeur-driven transport and stay in accommodation that has been carefully selected to match your travel style.
We sell luxury holidays but excel in curating authentic travel experiences that money can’t buy.
THE CORINTHIAN STORY
Corinthian Travel was founded by Hugh Fraser in 2008 to provide expertly planned, imaginative and luxurious tours that give a real ‘flavour’ of what he regards as one of the most fascinating corners of this world.
An avid traveller all of his life, following 25 years working in luxury travel, Hugh recognised the desires of many travellers for a more personalised approach to their holiday arrangements. He began by selling luxury holidays to Egypt and the Middle East, and while Arabia remains at Corinthian’s heart, as the team has grown over the years, so have the destinations, which now also include India and the subcontinent, including Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka, North Africa and the Caucasus nations of Georgia and Armenia.

Hugh Fraser
Managing Director
Hugh Fraser founded Corinthian Travel in 2008 to provide expertly planned, imaginative and luxurious tours that give a real ‘flavour’ of what he regards as one of the most fascinating corners of this world. Hugh has worked in luxury travel in both the USA and UK and has over a quarter of a century of experience in planning one-of-a-kind journeys in Arabia and North Africa. Personal highlights from his travels have included cruising slowly down the Nile, walking in the mountains of Oman, exploring off-road through the remote deserts of Saudi Arabia, and enjoying what is arguably the best view in Egypt over a good breakfast at the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan.
Balaji Kandasamy
Product Manager
Balaji originally hails from Pondicherry in southern India and is Corinthian Travel’s “guru” on the Indian subcontinent & the south Caucasus. From the Himalayan desert of Ladakh to the jungles of Madhya Pradesh and the emerald slopes of Sri Lanka’s hill country, there is almost nowhere where he hasn’t been! Balaji cites visits to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the UNESCO World Heritage caves of Ajanta and Ellora as among his most amazing experiences. An almost unquenchable passion for wildlife always keeps him busy!
Nicole Beattie
North America Ambassador
Based in Chicago, Nicole (Niki to her friends) is Corinthian Travel’s North America Ambassador. Niki has worked in luxury travel for more than 35 years and has travelled across the length and breadth of the planet. Her eye for detail is exceptional, as are the trips she arranges for her select clients. India has always held a particular fascination for Niki. “Cookie cutter” and the routine she does not do! Recent trips have included Egypt, Israel, Turkey, and, of course… India.

Clearly a tremendous amount of hard work had gone into planning everything into the minutest detail so that everything ran like clockwork.
Jeremy Harvey (travelled to Egypt)
Really impressed from the first contact through to delivery. Particularly pleased with the pre-departure information.
Caroline Meechan (travelled to Jordan)
Fantastic itinerary, brilliantly organised and everything was well-run and seamless. The staff/guides at each location were very friendly, efficient, and helpful and we could not have been happier with our holiday overall.
Ian and Sally Upjohn (travelled to Jordan and Egypt)
The itinerary was meticulously planned and worked like clockwork…our guide/driver was knowledgeable and flexible, always on time, and nothing was too much trouble. Can’t rate him highly enough.
Paul Guy (travelled to Sri Lanka)
We loved the whole trip and the variety it offered.
Amanda Barnett (travelled to Kerala, India)
Thank you for a truly memorable experience. Every day of this trip was an adventure.
Suzana Radovic (travelled to Ladakh, India)
