Trip to the golden triangle - What can I say about the trip? It was beautiful, the monuments we visited along the trip are unique and of historical and cultural grandeur. Without a doubt, a trip to repeat but for other places in India, a monument or museum to repeat would be the Taj Mahal. The trip was well planned by the guides Mahesh Kumar, Himmat and Ashok Sharma, the driver DK Sharma was also great, very helpful, there was never a lack of water or anything on the trip, as well as his driving was calm and responsible , I recommend this trip to more friends and family

Private tour - not clients but friends - For first time in India, we had a lovely experience, beginning with the amazing driver, who's name is Dk Sharma, who did everything for our perfect experience, he gave US some insight, everyday fresh water, and perfect air condicioner, i cannot have words to describe his simpathy. After we need to say that Mahesh, Ashok Sharma and Mahesh Kumar were perfect as well, from all the experience, knowledge, and friendly touch they gave us since day one. Im my honest opinion, if you need a travel agency who does private or public tours in golden Triangle, you should choose them! 5 stars service and i would choose them all over again 🙏

Excellent professional 5 day tour - Very professional guides Mahesh and Ashok were very informative with excellent English and encyclopaedic knowledge of all sites we visited with both having been professional guides for over 10 years
Our driver Kuldeep has been driving for over 15 years and this shows in his skills negotiating the crazy Indian traffic.
We had a wonderful time and would recommend this trip to anyone interested in travelling the Golden Triangle

Great tour with interesting historial attractions - I had a fantastic experience on this tour, exploring numerous historical attractions and enjoying the local cuisine. The tour guides in Agra (Vijay Chohan) and Jaipur (Ashok Sharma) were incredibly knowledgeable about the sites in their cities. They were both professional and patient, offering valuable suggestions and recommendations throughout the tour. Additionally, our driver, Kuldeep Singh, was outstanding—always punctual, polite, and accommodating to my requests.

Great experience and a great way to see the Golden Triangle - We had a great time on this private tour.
We found the schedule to be well balanced with a diverse range of sights to see, all done at a nice pace which didn’t feel too rushed. There is a fair bit of travel time included which meant that on the 5 day tour, not much time is left to explore the cities beyond the sights listed however we added some time either side of the tour to facilitate this.
Considering the reasonable price we paid, we had great accommodation and every experience/attraction you could ask for included. Lunch and dinner are not included however the guides know good restaurants and are happy to take you and overall these were great value also. One criticism I would have is that you are taken to some shops as part of the tour with hyper inflated prices for tourists and pushy salespeople however after we went to one of these we did say we didn’t want to go to any more and this request was respected.
Finally, we found the people running the tour to be very friendly, helpful, and flexible, particularly when dealing with requests to amend the schedule or accommodate certain requirements (for example vegan food was catered for). In particular, our driver Prem was extremely friendly and helpful, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the trip especially on the long drives between cities. The guides were very knowledgeable, and in particular Anurag in Jaipur was fantastic, very insightful but also entertaining.
Overall would recommend as I don’t see how you could explore so many sights in as little time/money any other way!

Amazing Golden Triangle experience! - Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish :) This was our first experience in India and we decided to book this 5 day golden triangle tour to make sure we got to see and do everything whilst also feeling safe and relaxed with a driver and tour guides.
Our driver, Prem, was incredible. He made us feel welcome from the start. Prem was always on time to pick us up, easy to chat to and adaptable if we had to change plans. The car was so comfortable for the long journeys, with a constant supply of water and snacks should we need them! Prem also made sure to slow down and allow us to take any photos of extra monuments along our travels and told us some more info. He made our experience around India special!
Our three tour guides were brilliant and knowledgeable. We never felt rushed at any of the monuments and all our questions were answered. In Delhi, our tour guide was Jitendra. He made sure we got around all of the sights outlined on the itinerary as well as a couple of extra photo opportunities along the way. He was so knowledgable about the history of the city. In Agra, our tour guide was Mehesh. We got to visit the beautiful Taj Mahal (highlight of the trip) and because it was closed on Friday, the company made sure they swapped the itinerary around so we got to visit on Thursday afternoon/evening. Mahesh never made us feel rushed and we got to spend 4 hours looking at the amazing monument. He was so knowledgeable about the building and the history behind it and was also a fantastic photographer!!!! In Jaipur, our tour guide was Anurag. We especially loved visiting the observatory where Anurag spent time explaining each of the different things there. It was also lovely to learn more from him about Indian culture and religion.
The hotels we stayed at were all as advertised and perfect for relaxing after a busy day of sight seeing. The breakfasts were also fantastic. Even though lunch isn’t included, Prem and our guides made sure to take us somewhere which met our dietary requirements (vegetarian and vegan) and helped us order which was appreciated.
I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience the golden triangle! :)

Glorious, fabulous and beautiful - We cannot thank Pacific Classic Tours (PCTI) enough for the trip we booked through them. If we could give them more than the maximum number of stars we would. The trip was spot-on on every level and we were never made to feel out of place. When we arrived in India (after travelling from Manchester - in the Uk) we were met very graciously by Kuldeep (our driver for the 5 days) and our guide for that day in Delhi - Ravi. Ravi was polite and informative and took us to all the places detailed on the itinerary. Later in the afternoon, we travelled with Kuldeep to Agra. The following morning we were greeted by Kuldeep and our guide for the day - Maheesh. Maheesh gave us a wealth of information and was very knowledgeable. Maheesh also was our guide the following morning too. In the afternoon Kuldeep drove us to Ranthambhore. Damo was our contact for Ranthambhore and of course, we could contact Kuldeep at any point should we need to. The following morning and the following afternoon we did the two safaris. The day after this Kuldeep drove us to Jaipur. In Jaipur we were met by our guide Veejay. Veejay was funny and a delight to be with. Veejay and Kuldeep picked us up the following morning for more touring around Jaipur. Later in the afternoon Kuldeep drove us back to Delhi, and dropped us off late afternoon at the railway station ready for us to move on to another part of our tour of India, which we were doing on our own. Please note I haven’t detailed all the places we visited as they were exactly as detailed in the itinerary and simply spectacular - which I am sure you will see from some of the photos I have included. After we had booked the trip, on trip advisor, we had a number of communications with Shakul (from PCTI) which put our minds very much at ease. Shakul was extremely helpful and was more than willing to help us book any other aspects of our adventure in India, after we had completed our 5 day tour. Everything that was detailed in the itinerary was what we received and we always had telephone numbers for the local guides, Kuldeep (our driver), and PCTI, should, for any reason, have needed to contact them. We could not have asked for anything more from our guides. Each day they kept us fully occupied, they gave us time so we could explore the sites on our own and were more than eager to answer any questions we had about all of the places we visited. Our driver Kuldeep, I can only describe as amazing. He was whitty, pleasant and had lots of things to tell us about India and its culture and people. He was an excellent driver. He always put us first, and was more than willing to help us with anything we wanted to do or needed. The car was fully air-conditioned and clean, and Kuldeep always made sure we had plenty of cold water available throughout the trip. He was a lovely man and we feel very humbled to have met him. We chose 4* hotels in the package, and I can say they all were well above our expectation. The staff were always eager to help, the Indian food was off-the-charts fantastic, and the rooms were always clean, tidy and very much well presented - all the hotels made us feel very much at home. We cannot thank PCTI enough for our amazing trip, showing us their beautiful country and beautiful people. The trip far exceeded any expectations we may have had. We would have no hesitation in recommending PCTI to anyone and would certainly use them again the next time we come to India.

Exceptional tour provider. - An outstanding tour program that reinforced the prior days learning. The guides were well versed in India folklore, habits, food and culture. The money was well spent. They rank in the top 3% of all tour companies I have ever used. Consistent and timely communication as needed. Very accommodating and extremely friendly!
