Golden Triangle 3 Day Tour - If you only have a few days to visit the Golden Triangle then this is the tour for you. Shyam was our trusty driver and got us to and from all our destinations. Naveem was an excellent guide around Delhi. The Rickshaw ride around Old Delhi was a highlight. Menesh was our guide for Agra and the Taj Mahal and Kamal was our guide for Jaipur. All quality tours. The history is mind blowing and 5 star hotels were fantastic.

An Incredible and Unforgettable Journey - An amazing trip! As soon as I booked it, I received a message from Amit at Crystal India Holidays with all the details for the three-day adventure. Our driver, Rohit, was fantastic—very knowledgeable and communicative about the schedule. Kudos to our guides—Ajay, Manoj, Himmath, and Pratik. They were all incredibly knowledgeable and answered my curious kids' questions with ease. I highly recommend these guides to everyone; they're amazing people!

Happy moments in India Golden Triangle Tour - It's my first time in India. My friend and I joined this 3-day tour and we enjoyed the journey. Although the tour is tight and takes many hours from city to city, we still think it is worthwhile to come. The tour guides are all very nice and professional. You can ask them to help you take photos which can avoid those annoying people. At the same time, don’t forget the hard-working driver, because he drives for so long distance and brings us back safely! I will recommend you to join this tour!

A memorable experience - Delhi, Agra and Jaipur are fascinating cities. Our guides were all extremely knowledgeable, friendly without being intrusive and communicated well. The only negative we found was being brought to a factory and facing the embarrassment of saying we weren't buying anything. "Not even a small souvenir?" Obviously we were expected to make a purchase of something we didn't want and that wasn't to our taste.

Amazing Tour - An amazing and seamless tour, with great tour guides. Our driver, Culwinder was outstanding and always in the right place at the right time. This was just what we wanted. The guides also took you to suitable restaurants for tourists. Please note, there are the usual factory stops - some being better than others, e.g the textile factory, however this is an opportunity to buy souvenirs you otherwise wouldn’t have access to on this tour. Would definitely recommend.

Overall, a very good private tour experiance. - I did this tour as a solo traveller, 29 June 24, with a night in Agra and Jaipur ( both hotels and 1/2 board meal inclusions were very nice). My driver was a male, named Vicki. Overall he was excellent, knowledgable, spoke very good English and most polite. Only comment: if he asks you which way you’d prefer to take from Delhi to Agra insist on the Expressway. In fairness, I was staying in Gurugram, maybe he didn’t take the Expressway. Vicki took me on some seemingly strange route and we hit a city that was badly flooded, necessitating a big detour eventually joining a highway to Agra. I skipped Delhi having already done the sites there and was supposed to have longer in Agra! Two complaints why I did not give this tour five stars: 1) The vehicle used was a taxi, a white one like you see all over Delhi. Uncomfortable over long distances. 2) In Jaipur the tour guide somewhat rushed through the attractions. We were done in less than 4 hours. This said, he was very knowledgeable and professional.
