Unforgettable experience! - We had an amazing trip all around. We saw so many things, but never felt rushed. Our driver Kuldeep was amazing, driving us through the golden triangle safely. The guides were very knowledgeable and we could ask so many questions - we certainly learned a lot! So much history we didn't know, and amazing wildlife (hello tigers - yes, plural!!), it's a great balance between the two! Also, we were there during the Holi celebrations, it was an unforgettable experience to be included with the people around and make new friends! Fantastic memories and many stories to tell friends and family!

Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, the golden triangle 5-day tour - The whole trip was excellent and beyond my expectation. The driver, Kuldeep, and all the guides were very professional, knowledgeable, and respectful. Before the trip, I thought we might be a bit rushed visiting many places but because it’s a private tour, it was flexible and we felt relaxed and taken care the whole time. The cultural experience, rich history, and seeing tigers and many birds were simply amazing!! Highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful tour of The golden triangle - Wonderful tour! We enoyed the sights of New Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. The tiger safari was exciting, but unfortunatly we didn't see any tigers, only deer, anthilopes and an indian hare. Our safaris were in zone 6 and 7. We loved all hotels Hilton in Jaipur, The Tigress and Jaipee Palace. The tour was well organized with knowlegable guides and an excellent driver Kuldeep. This is highly recomended in the caotic traffic in India.

Historic moment tour - We had a private car and driver with guides at each city. Also 5 Star accommodations. Guides were very well educated, masters or Ph.D in Indian history. We got a lot for our money.

How to see as many beautiful things as possible in 5 days - My sister and I decided to do this 5-day tour in December as we were flying to India for a wedding and wanted to see as much as possible in the time we had left. We were picked up very punctually at our booked hotel in Delhi by Prem, our driver. The tours through the respective cities were each led by a guide (Dilip in Delhi, Ashok in Jaipur, Seema in Arga) for the respective city. We were able to learn a lot from the specialist for the respective city and all the guides also took some very nice photos of us together. If we had a wish, such as buying postcards (apparently not used in India and rather difficult to get), this was also fulfilled as far as possible. Most of the time, the traders were approached directly on our behalf and a non-touristy price was negotiated :) Back at the car, we were greeted with cold water and snacks. On the way from town to town, Prem repeatedly showed us and explained a few facts and places, as well as local culture, that we would otherwise not have noticed. I particularly enjoyed the tiger safari, even though we weren't lucky enough to see one, but we did see a bear twice - which is said to be even rarer than the tiger. All in all, a very well-rounded tour that also caters to individual needs in order to see as much as possible in a short time, but of course a bit exhausting as a result.

Very good - This tour was absolutely amazing. Our driver DK Sharma was second to none. He was extremely pleasant, punctual and went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable. All our guides were knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Many thanks to Dilip Singh, Ashok Sharma and Raj, and of course DK Sharma, for making our trip so enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour group for anyone visiting India.
