Great value tour - impressed. - Just coming to the end of our 17 day tour of India and Nepal with Payless Tours India, we couldn't be happier with the package. We chose to do the private car tour which made it very flexible for us - Neeraj was easy to work with in organising the itinerary and other administration. At each site visited, we had very competent local guides join us to explain the history of each location. The highlight for us was to see the Taj Mahal and Mt Everest but there were many other amazing things. Travelling by car, and avoiding internal flights meant some long days driving but we had the benefit of viewing some locations free of western tourists. A special thanks to Mithun, our driver and companion. He was exceptional in his awareness of our needs, offering helpful advice and suggestions and ensuring we got to see the maximum number of places in the time available. His good humour, infectious laugh and positive outlook were very much a bonus. We would have no hesitation in recommending this tour and Payless Tours India as a very good company with whom to work.

The highlights were the street markets in Delhi & Kathmandu, Taj Mahal (of course), & the Amber Fort & Palace at Jaipur. - India is fascinating but so busy. A guided tour is the way to go. We chose Payless Tours with Mithun as our driver, and were very pleased with both. Good itinerary, good guides, good hotels & restaurants. Mithun is an excellent driver (most important), great knowledge of India, totally reliable & honest. I enjoyed our political & religious discussions. I throughly recommend Payless Tours with Mithun as your driver.

Best tour with bholu - Excellent experience with Bholu during one of my many foreign travels. We visited Jaipur, Agra, and Kahjaroh before traveling to Benares and Kathmandu. I especially appreciated the personal cooking classes that he provided for me. Excellent English and social skills. H four star hotels provid through Payless were excellent and included pools sufficient to continue my regular lap swimming, something I did not expect!!

Best customer service and care. - These guys are the best. We're traveled on tour packages around the world a lot and this has to be the best customer service we have ever experienced. Starting with the trip coordinator, Neeraj, excellent communication throughout the planning and execution process. He tailored our trip to add additional stops and days to our package to include adding additional domestic flights. He even added a couple of temporary hotel stays to accommodate our flight schedule at no additional cost. He vevn personally met us at one of our stops and brought thank you gifts. Above and beyond with his customer service. Next, the driver Ankit, and Guide Prakash, we're AMAZING. We felt like royalty with these two gentlemen. They were there at whatever point in the day or night that we needed them. They would quickly involve themselves if local vendors were trying to charge us excessive visitor prices. If we said, we needed something, Prakash would search everywhere to get us what we needed. I cannot overstate the value of having a guide like Prakash. He or the driver, Ankit would hold my elderly mothers hand everywhere we went because they recognized that she need assistance. They were always early to pick us up from the to start our daily adventure - we were never waiting for them. Prakash's favorite phrase was "Why not?". If we wanted to add a local stop enroute to our next stop he would make it happen. If we wanted to go shopping, they would take us shopping. When we entered Nepal, we saw a riverside and a cable car that was going. Up to the top of the mountain and all we had to do is ask and he made the stop. Ankit drove us around in a new 16 passenger van which was always clean and comfortable. But most impressive was his driving skills. If you've been to India, you can definitely appreciate having a great driver. These guys work extremely hard to make our trip as memorable as possible. They even acted as personal photographer when we needed them. I can go on and on but just wanted to say that Neeraj, Prakash, and Ankit are the India travel "Dream Team"!

Excellent Tour With Excellent Tour. - December 7th, 2024 First trip to India and Nepal and it was extremely exciting and adventurous! Our driver Vivek Sharma was a proud ambassador for his beloved country. Driving in a regular passenger car (our group only had 3 guests) made you feel that you were right in the middle of life in India/Nepal; providing a very immersive experience compared to a tour bus or minivan. No one had really prepared us for the lack of roads in Nepal, but those rides made the trip even more memorable. Vivek expertly&safely drove us on this 15-day journey and he proudly shared some of his life stories with our group. In every town we met up with local guides. MJ in Jaipur and Uday in Varanasi were exceptional; seeing India through their eyes was a privilege and fun. There were lots of amazing activities crammed in this well-organized 15-day tour, not just the magnificent sightseeing, but all of the road stops for coffee, tea, meals and of course the bathroom breaks (LOL) made the trip a real adventure! This certainly was a very amazing journey; highly recommended, but what made it so very special was our warm, funny, dependable, proud, and caring driver Vivek. Thank you Vivek

Loved everything but specially Pokhara! - I was a bit worried before traveling as I wasn’t sure how safe it would be, but it was a great trip overall. We were able to see many nice places considering the distances, and Mr. Mithun was very polite and patient and an excellent driver (considering the busy India streets and conditions of some of the Nepal roads). We had a great time and definitely recommend the tour if you want to be able to see main cities, temples, and the great culture of India and Nepal. Thank you Mr. Mithun!

Good agency for a tour in Indian and Nepalese - It is my first time in India and Nepal, choosing this tour was a success, as I had the opportunity to see many places of interest. Our driver Mr. Mithun was very attentive, patient and always friendly with us. We took the option of 3 star hotels, the hotels were fine: clean sheets and hot water, but if I did the tour again I would choose 4 star hotels because in some there was no elevator, there were strange noises in the evenings or seemed not to do deep cleaning. We always ate in clean places, this was something that worried me a lot ñ, in the end everything went very well. I highly recommend this tour.

Great trip to not only India but beautiful Nepal - Our experience with Payless Tours far exceeded my expectations. They worked with us to modify our trip to personalize it. Traveling with a private driver offered us flexibility, convenience, and the air conditioned car was a comfortable way to explore our stops. We were lucky and able to experience two separate drivers Prakash and Mithun. Both were great drivers, spoke great english and fun to travel with. Highly recommend a trip to India. All the hotels we stayed at exceeded my expectations with the cleanliness, tasty food and friendly staff.

This is the only way to go to India & Nepal - I have traveled a lot and used various methods including group tours and solo travels planning everything myself. This is my first private tour so I wasn’t really sure if I would enjoy this type of travel. I have really enjoyed it! Tonight is my final day in Kathmandu and I can tell you I would book with Payless Tours again in a heartbeat. The first thing I like is the driver they provide picks you up at the airport and stays with you until the very end. Our driver helped us figure out what to tip, best ATM, foods we should avoid etc etc. each city comes with a guide local to that city. Your driver picks them up and takes you from site to site. I always felt like I had someone there watching out for my best interest. I discovered later that our lunch and dinner restaurants are checked by the tour company to make sure they use good hygiene in their food preparation. They also have clean restrooms with western toilets (which is important). Prakash and Mr Mithun were both fantastic. There were so many guides I can only remember Uday in Varanasi who broke down the Hindu gods so I could understand. I really don’t have a single negative comment after 2 weeks! Communication was great with the company and our driver.
