Amazing India - From the moment we were picked up at Delhi airport our adventure began. It was well organized and we were well looked after. We saw so many sights and had very knowledgeable guides to explain history and sights. The entire time we felt safe and alway had someone near by to help. Our tour also included cooking class which was amazing to see all the spices added and the real way of cooking traditional Indian food. I would and have recommended this trip to anyone wanting to visit. Definitely worth it.

Amazing Tour with Great Service and Cooking Experience - I had been planning a trip to India since last year, and now the time finally arrived! My friends and I chose a 6-day Golden Triangle tour with traditional cooking classes because of my love for cooking. The arrangements were excellent, and after booking, Mr. Gopal stayed in constant touch, ensuring everything was perfectly taken care of. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use their services again in the future.

Indian Sub Continent in all its glory! - India’s ‘Golden Triangle’ - fly into Delhi, airport pickup, sight-seeing, driven to Agra (including Taj Mahal), on to Jaipur (2 nights), back to Delhi & airport, using Getyourguide: We have travelled abroad often & enjoy packing in quite a few historic sites on our way. This trip we thought we would try Getyourguide to save ourselves a lot of the research needed into where to go, what to see, how to get from A to B & what accommodation to stay in. We were delighted. The itinerary of fabulous historical sites and places of interest fitted our wishes perfectly, while the accommodation (which we had requested be upgraded from 3 star hotels to 5 star at little extra cost) gave us the space & luxury needed to chill and relax between bouts of travelling and sight-seeing. Our point of contact was Sonu Duggal who kept us informed from start to finish, while our guide and driver, Mantun Sahani was charming, fun, very knowledgable, made himself available at any time we might need him, and was clearly a fantastic driver to negotiate all the different and sometimes crazy driving he had to cope with on our travels, all with very good humour. We had a large (8 seater?) car for just the two of us for the whole 6 days, which was much appreciated as I am 6’8” and needed lots of space! Local guides were also provided to give us more specialised information on the various places we visited such as the Red Fort & of course the Taj Mahal. Recommend guests consider tips for each - they deserve it! All of this history & traveling was set in the context of a beautiful country with its stunning scenery & sights, beautiful friendly people and truly amazing food. We were warned to be aware of personal security and alert for pick pockets (which travellers should be conscious of in any country these days) but we encountered no problems. We can both hand on heart recommend this Northern area of India as a place to holiday, and as seasoned travellers give a massive thumbs up to Sonu and especially to Mantun for making ours a trip to remember.

Memorable Golden Triangle Trip!!! - As a family of 10 members (with children), we went to 5-day Golden Triangle Trip in July 2024. As a trip organizer, Mr. Gopal was amazing right from our first call, giving valuable suggestions and customizing the trip according to our needs. He was a true gentleman, sticking to his promises during the trip. The private van was very comfortable to travel. The aircon was very good, seats were comfortable, and they provided bottled water throughout the trip. The driver Mr. Ajay was fabulous, friendly, polite, down to earth person and most importantly a very safe driver. Loved our journey and all the conversations with him. He was very supportive of all the changes we had to do last minute. The guides provided in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur were all very knowledgeable and friendly, particularly Mr. Ahmed in Agra, who took some fantastic photos. Wow, what a guide he was! We were always taken to good restaurants which offered tasty and quality food, even though was a bit expensive, which was expected anyway. The only advice I would give to other travellers is to avoid getting tempted to buy expensive handicrafts in Delhi. You can buy them a lot cheaper in Agra or Jaipur. Overall, we had a great time during the tour, despite a very humid weather at that time. Looking forward to going to other trips organized by Mr. Gopal in future. Thank you very much.

Golden Triangle - Booked the Deluxe package for Golden Triangle tours. Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Not the best of starts as the hotel in Delhi, The Hotel Sunstar Grand Delhi was poor. If you read this review and book make sure that hotel isn`t on the list. Certainly not up to a deluxe package standard. Breakfast was poor, with very little choice if you are a Westerner and didn`t fancy curry for breakfast. On the plus side the hotels in Agra and Jaipur were very good and the staff in all the hotels couldn`t do enough for you. Our Guide and driver, Ramesh was initially very good and very knowledgeable. The down side was that, he was obviously on commission for taking us to artisan shops, (Marble, pottery, Clothprinting etc), even when told we didn`t want to go ( we live in Turkey and get exactly the same there) to these he insisted on taking us there in the hope of us buying something. There were other issues but when he told us the toll for the Expressway between Jaipur and Delhi so we could catch our flight to Goa, was 2500 rupee that took the biscuit. After checking, the actual price was 500 rupee. This was particularly annoying as we`d already decided to give him a sizable tip, although he barely deserved it. We have informed the company about his actions. Even after all this I have still given the company a 5 star review as the things we did and saw in those 6 days will gladly stay with us for the rest of our lives. Book with this company by all means, as they do push the boat out for you, but don`t get Ramesh as your driver.

Don’t us this service! - Let me start by saying, DONT buy this. It’s a scam. If you read nothing else please read this. This was a horrible experience. I went with my girlfriend our first visit. Let’s start with the most annoying: We were constantly pushed to trinket shops where we were uncomfortably put in the situation where we had to continually say no to shop keeps who wouldn’t accept we were not interested. We spent more time in these shops than at any sites. We asked to not go to any more shops and were told “this is different”. We were only given the option of truck stops for food while out we ate at the truck stops or had to wait till we got back to the hotel to order room service. THERE WERE NO OTHER OPTIONS PROVIDED. For 5-8 hr days. None. The guides repeated the exact same facts at every site. If they weren’t the same facts the facts that were provided were not true and made up. (We are huge history nerds we checked) our first guide was 1 hr late. And then took us to 3 sites we couldn’t see because “it was the wrong day”. We were forced and I mean forced to give a video review by one of the guides who wouldn’t let us leave the venue without saying something nice. We were not allowed to purchase our own tickets to venues we have no idea if the prices the guide gave us were true or pocketing the money. (We know for sure at least one guide kept a few hundred rupees from us as “in case we need travel” money) At the Taj Mahal ( the main event for the whole tour) our camera was taken by our tour guide and we were hustled around with a “professional” who then waited at our hotel to purchase “a selection” of pictures were not allowed to see before we paid for after we had said no to them twice. They pestered us until we took shelter in the car where Our guide and driver then teamed up to trap us in the car to bully us to tip the tour guide. We had to threaten to call the boss and complain to get them to move. The hotels were horrible sold to us as “five star top the line” but were smelly old and one didn’t even have working ac( it was 113f outside. When we told the desk they smiled and walked away from us. Finally we had enough and wanted to only do the finally piece of the tour in which we already paid for. We were met with hostility from the director Gopal. Who then proceeded to cancel the whole day on us. He later back tracked, agreed to refunded us part of the tour only because he realized we would leave a bad review online. After begging us for 5 hrs to not leave one and deleting as many incriminating things he had said about the tour or us. He finally stopped texting. We were going to leave it at that and take the refund for the leopard tour (don’t do the tour it’s legitimately someone’s back yard) and just spend our last day at a hotel we picked prior separate from the experience. We asked Gopal, the driver and everyone we could to take us directly to the hotel. Instead we spent an additional 1.5 hrs in the car driving the wrong direction so the driver could collect the time and miles needed for the quota. I beg you save yourself go with another tour.
