"Shrey and his team planned my first-ever visit to Italy for a wedding, and made the experience so seamless. They were incredibly responsive, and took time to do meticulous research for all of our hotel stays and even helped us with a rental car! Would highly recommend him and use his services again!"

"Planning our honeymoon with Anecdote has been an absolute joy. One of the unexpected highlights was receiving their hotel dossiers - each one felt like a mini Christmas present. I'd get a WhatsApp ping and immediately open it to see what amazing things they discovered. Not only were their recommendations spot-on, but they also beat the best prices we could find online. They brought joy, ease, and serious value to the whole process. Couldn't recommend them more - I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!"

"Shrey and his team gets shit done. They have booked most of my trips now, gotten upgrades and perks for free wherever possible, and they are super professional. Highly recommend."

"Having a fully competent and responsive concierge on my side before and during my trip to Tokyo was so refreshing. Anecdote saved me both time (by surfacing insider info about Tokyo that would otherwise take a while to search for) and money (through their exclusive hotel rates). Highly recommend!"

"Anecdote made our company offsite one of the highlights of our year. They found an awesome retreat for us and were just a text away for everything we needed"
