Incredible India, indeed !! - Just completed an incredible one day tour to Haridwar and Rishikesh with Ajay. Communication with Ajay was easy as he speaks flawless English and he is super flexible so we agreed on a pick up time without any hassle. The drive to Haridwar was comfortable and i felt completely safe with Ajay as driver. He pays close attention to his surroundings even while we had animated and lively conversations. And he doesn’t honk his horn !!!! As a guide Ajay is great too. As mentioned his English is superb and he’s very informative and insightful. The trip was a great success with as highlight the dip in the Ganges river! But also the time spent in Rishikesh was very nice. I highly recommend this tour and Ajay as driver/guide in particular! Thanks Ajay for a fantastic day!

A must do!! - I wish I could give this experience more than 5 stars. A must do for everyone looking to visit Haridwar and Rishikesh. A very knowledgeable guide in Rishikesh, comfortable car, a lively and friendly companion who makes a 5 hour drive seem like next to nothing.. all these are highlights of this trip. The biggest heartwarming part was taking a bath in Ganga and watching Ganga Aarti! Take up his advice and leave 2 mins earlier than the end of the aarti and you’ll be back to your car before the crowd hits!!

Best decision ever! - This was my partner's first visit to India. Everyone warned her and asked if she was ready for this experience, as it's not always easy. However, thanks to AJAY, our driver and guide, the experience was perfect. We hired him for 10 days he drove over 1,300km always with a smile. He took us to special places and introduced us to locals. A particularly unique experience was when he took us to an elementary school where we celebrated Krishna's birthday with the students. There's no doubt this experience will remain in my heart forever. Also, Ajay is an excellent driver, which is one of India's most important things. His knowledge about all the sites we visited is extensive, and everything was always done with good spirit and a positive mood. He knows where to eat and how to experience authentic moments. Ajay is an interesting and funny conversationalist. He's punctual, always arriving on time and managing our schedule efficiently. His attentiveness to our needs and preferences made the trip even more enjoyable. His kind demeanor made us feel comfortable and well cared for throughout our journey. We highly recommend hiring him to everyone planning a trip to India.
