The only way to travel to India - It was amazing experience. Hotels were perfect, guides were awesome. Driver surprised us being super welcoming and respectful. Me and my friend as female solo travelers were a bit concerned about safety, but ALL exceed expectations. (Ask for Prithi if is possible) The only way I’ll recommend to travel to India is with this tour. I’ve travelled all over the world and I think this is the first time I’ve book a full tour, and was amazing

Wonderfull experience - We (family, 2 kids, 15y, 12 y) had a wonderfull,hassle free, 5 day golden triangle tour. We saw many very beautiful sites. We did a private tour . We had a good spacious AC car . With a nice friendly, good English speaking driver. The local guides were friendly and good English speaking. We requested not to visit shops on the way. (So hassle free. ) At the end we visited some shops of our choice. We had 5 star hotels witch were very good. They had a huge continental and Indian breakfast buffet. We didn't have any problems. There was always someone available if you would have problems. We do recommand this organisation for a wonderfull trip.

A last minute change makes a great trip truly spectacular! - Our 5 day trip with Crystal India was wonderful! We spent the most of our time with Surinder, our driver who was a true gentleman, always on time and friendly. He taught us a lot about Indian culture and politics during our long drives together. The guides - Pinky, Pradeep and Pratik - were all very good, friendly and professional. Each guide was particular to one city, so they were specialists in that city, giving lots of historic and current cultural information. A pro-tip that I would give other travelers is that the Taj Mahal is closed to visitors on Fridays. When I planned our trip I didn’t know this, and the day that we were supposed to see the Taj at sunrise ended up on Friday. Instead we would have to see the Taj in the late afternoon on Thursday during the highest heat and crowds, which was not congruent with the way the itinerary had been presented to us. When I realized this, it was fairly early in the morning on the 2nd day of the trip. I reached out to the owner Amit and within a few minutes he called back with 2 options for us to choose from that would allow us to move things around to optimize our schedule so that we could see the Taj at sunrise. We are most grateful for Amit’s willingness to make a change to our itinerary which likely took some engineering to do at the last minute. And the Taj at sunrise was absolutely spectacular! Another tip I would give is that there is an option to not go to the factory stores for marble, gems, and textiles that are part of the trip, unless you don’t have any other option for buying these items. The prices that these stores charge is much higher than you would be charged in the marketplace. In some cases we found that silk scarves and other textiles were very close to Western prices at those stores. Having the opportunity to shop at other markets, we found the same products at 1/3 to 1/4 of the prices of these “factory stores” that we were taken to by the tour company.

This Golden Triangle Tour Hit "Gold" For Us - This was a wonderful tour of the Golden Triangle in India! Everything went very smoothly, all guides in each city and our driver, Sharvan, were on time and prompt, if not early, for all meeting times. The trip was well organized and very professionally run and executed. All of the hotels that were part of the package exceeded our expectations and were quite luxurious, and well-run with attentive staffs. The restaurants we were taken to for lunches were great and were nice additions to the day. Our guides were all so super knowledgeable and gave us great amounts of information about each place we visited. Also, they were all great at putting us in the best spots for photos, and they took our photo at those spots so many times! We don't usually get so many photos of ourselves on trips, but it is nice to have them. The guides were also helpful in our interactions with vendors ahead of time. Sharvan, our driver, deserves special credit for his expert, calm, and patient driving for five days through India's traffic, "like driving in a video game", is how Sharvan described it. He was also an excellent guide himself, describing much about what we were passing on our long road trips between cities, and giving us good information about Indian culture and life. It was very hot and humid during our entire stay in India, but the car was delightfully air conditioned, along with provided water bottles, to give relief, and there were no issues with the transportation, or any of the company staff that we interacted with. This company has put together a terrific tour package that allows you to just sit back and enjoy what each new stop will show, without any concerns about the travel. We feel we had terrific value, and this was the best way to "see India".

Amazing trip! - The trip surpassed all expectation. The driver was great, his name is Raj, he protected me from all the touts n scammers, he knew good restaurants, various cool places and just in general was a very great person. The guides know their stuff as well, especially enjoyed the guide, that goes by the name of Aditya. A young guy, very passionate about architecture and history, but also knows when to stop talking and just let enjoy the present moment. Overall, the guide Aditya and driver Raj were a big part of why this trip was so special. I truly recommend this trip to anyone of thinking of coming to India. You will feel safe, you will see all the places, eat at nice local restaurants and will be taken care of properly. Thank you!

Amazing experience in India! - I did the tour with a close friend, and we both had the most amazing time in India. Our time was limited, so we wanted a private tour that would be tailored to our needs, hit all the landmarks, and learning more about the history and culture. Each and every tour guide that we had in every city was knowledgeable, funny, and considerate, taking time to show us around and explaining to us the importance of the sights. Really exceeded our hopes and expectations. Our driver, Mr. Prithi, was also the most caring and attentive man, accommodating our schedule and tending to our needs every step of the way. 10/10 would recommend this tour to everybody!

Amazing tour!!! - Really very well organized tour, allows you to see the best of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur in a safe and comfortable way. We chose the 5-day option (recommended in my opinion) so as to have more time to see everything calmly. On the tour, you can choose the option with hotels included, which are really clean and have a good breakfast buffet. The guy who takes care of the organization (Amit) is available for any help and does an excellent job. Every day in a new city we had a different guide, all the guides gave us a lot of information and were very nice. For the 5 days, the driver was the same guy (Rajender) and he was always kind, thoughtful, and punctual. We are very happy that we chose this tour and recommend the tour 100%! Thank you, we wish you the best! Francesca & Rubén

Good tour - safe, reliable, hits the main sites - Very organized, wonderful hotels, our driver - Paramveet - was wonderful!! Different guides in each city, English/knowledge good. Only downside is that many things offered on Delhi tour closed because we were there on Monday and no other stops were planned to replace the attractions that were closed. But saying that - they were flexible when we asked to do Elephant sanctuary tour in Jaipur since we had extra time - highlight of the trip.

Great tour but scam alert - Great tour in general. Our driver Rajesh was amazing. Punctual, lovely and honest man. Guides were knowledgable and very good at photo taking. Honestly, some of the shots our guide Manish took at Taj Mahal were even better than our wedding photographer from Australia. Taj Mahal is breathtaking. India is rich in culture and definitely would recommend getting a tour guide to know their history and heritage better. The downside is , after main attractions, the tour guides will take you to a craft shop, who will try to sell you things with the price that is 3 ( or more) times the market price. Scam warning for that part. Just don’t buy anything from those shops. Request to stop at a bazaar later on. Jaipur has many places to buy souvenirs on the street, in the bazaar. If a shop offers you a drink as soon as you walk in, it’s most likely going to be very overpriced/scam. Rule of thumb, divide the price they offer by 3 and haggle.
