Golden Triangle Tour - This was our first time traveling to India and we are so happy that we chose to do so with this tour. We were able to see a lot of amazing places in a short time thanks to our wonderful driver and the local guides in each city. Our driver Bittu, was excellent!! He greeted us at the airport with flowers and always had snacks and waters for us in the car. He always stayed with the car, ensuring that our belongings stayed safe. He even gave me some CDs of Punjabi music when he noted that we were dancing along to it in the back. We are very grateful to him for ensuring we had a wonderful time. Of the three cities we were able to see, Jaipur was our favorite! It was a stunning city, some of which you can see in the photos I’ve added along with this post. Our guide there, Ashok Sharma, went above and beyond for us; showing us incredible locations and telling the history of each place in a fun and interesting way. He even did some palm reading for us. Our guides in Agra and Delhi were also wonderful! Overall we had a great time and would recommend this tour to all.

The BEST way to experience the Golden Triangle - Our guide, Mahesh, was absolutely incredible and was so wonderful about making the experience very personal. He gave us authentic food recommendations, excellent briefings of the history of the stops we were going to, and gave us great insight on which souvenirs to purchase. I went with a group of six friends and he wrangled all of us college kids like a pro. We never felt rushed at any of our stops and had plenty of lovely photos taken of us. As a history nerd, it was very important that the tour we chose went below the surface level and Mahesh is truly an expert with a great attention to detail and tons of interesting fun facts. The hotels we stayed at were very comfortable and clean and all of the restaurants we went to were delicious. Mahesh introduced us to some experts on local handicrafts and it was a highlight for me to see examples of master embroidery and carpet weaving. I truly cannot recommend this tour enough—absolutely a must do if you’re wanting to see more of India in a shorter amount of time.

I really felt like a queen, I didn't need more than that... - The trip was amazing, I really felt like a queen, I didn't need more than that... I arrived alone on a trip to a foreign country and it was important for me to feel safe traveling in this wonderful country. The guide Mahesh Kumar was amazing, very smart and generous and in addition to every photographer very talented. For those who go on a trip to Israel, our money is worth a lot here. I do not recommend looking for places to save money, but to pamper yourself to the end with a private driver and guide. Thank you for an unforgettable experience

Great Golden Triangle Tour - Mahesh was an excellent tour guide and super knowledgeable. We felt super safe and comfortable everywhere he took us and he answered all of our questions. He had tons of information about the cities, culture, and monuments and museums. The tour was great and we beat the crowds at the majority of locations which was super nice. The van was nice, clean, and had bottles of water for us the entire time. Our driver was amazing as well!
