Whirlwind tour - This was an amazing tour that started and ended in Delhi. We had one day in Agra and another in Jaipur with the 4th day driving back to Delhi. The company arranges for your accommodations at very good hotels. We stayed at Jaypee palace hotel in Agra and the Hilton in Jaipur. Both were excellent in comfort. Let me tell you that you need that high pressure shower and a comfortable bed after a long day of sightseeing. As for our experience, we had a great driver Annu who picked us up in Delhi. He is an expert driver, soft spoken and attentive. Shivraj was our guide in Delhi, a very charming young man who loved to practice his English with us. Manish, our Agra guide was very knowledgeable and took some gorgeous pictures for us. He has a knack for photography and could totally do that as a side hustle. He was able to point out so many details of the baby Taj, Taj Mahal and Agra fort that we would’ve missed if we didn’t have a guide. For Jaipur, we had Pratik who went by Sunny. He was a lot of fun and also very knowledgeable and clearly had a lot of pride in his city. He also took a lot of great pictures for us. The tour operator was very helpful with recommendations for gratuities for the drivers and guides so we felt great about that. The only complaint I had was that they took us to too many stores. I felt like half the day in Jaipur was spent at these “approved” stores and I wish I had time to go to the markets instead.

BEST TOUR YOU CAN TAKE!! Don’t miss the chance to enjoy India as you should! - This is for sure the best tour of the Golden Triangle! Everything was perfect from start to end. The driver and all the guides were very helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. Always on time! Plus, they take the best pictures! The support team is amazing too! They reached out to me since the day I made the reservation (months before the tour), and were continuously checking if everything was according to my expectations. The hotel selections were very good as well. We never had problems during our stays, and both the check-in and check-out were done very smoothly. I am very very grateful with whole team of Crystal India Holidays. You have definitely left us a very good impression of your work and gave us the opportunity to enjoy our first time in India. Can’t wait to come back to the country and see what other tours you can offer us!! Ps. I can’t miss the chance to recognize how adequately furnished the van is for the long rides. The cushions and curtains were very much appreciated. And of course thanks to the driver who ALWAYS kept the van perfectly clean!!

Great and efficient tour in the golden triangl - I can recommend this tour to the all tourists who visit India for the first time. We could visit the must-visit attractions in each city, but the itinerary was not too busy. Taj Mahal was one of the most stunning highlights. We visited there in the very early morning to avoid crowds and heats in daytime. The beautiful dome with the sunrise was gorgeous. The tour guide worked for us not only as a guide but also as a photographer for us. He took many great photos for us in different angles. Our driver Mr Surgeet was an excellent driver with enough experiences. He provided us the safe driving even in the chaotic road situation and stopped by some spots for us upon our requests. He shared many stories with us like a tour guide. He must be the five star driver.
