24-Nov-2024
We chose this tour to explore India’s Golden Triangle and Varanasi, especially since my boyfriend wanted to experience traveling by train. The company responded quickly to our email inquiries, which gave us confidence to book.
In Delhi, we were welcomed by our driver, Amit, who stayed with us throughout the trip, except during our time in Varanasi. His car was clean, comfortable, and peaceful, and he shared interesting cultural insights along the way. The guides at each destination were knowledgeable and made the tours enjoyable, though we did visit some tourist shops, which felt a bit pushy.
We were surprised to realize that guides weren’t included for Varanasi and Delhi, and communication in Varanasi was difficult as the driver spoke little English. Our return train from Varanasi to Delhi faced an 11-hour delay, but the company acted quickly to cancel our train tickets and help us book a flight instead, which we truly appreciated.
Despite some challenges, the company’s responsive support made a big difference, and we’d consider booking with them again for future trips to India.
