We recently completed the Golden Triangle tour and had a fantastic experience. T (Read More)he highlight of our trip was the impeccable planning by Mr. Narendra; everything was organized to perfection, allowing us to visit all the major sites with ease. ​Our drivers deserve a special mention—they were incredibly patient and attentive to our needs. Most importantly, they prioritized our safety, navigating through zero-visibility fog with total professionalism. ​The trip itself is a must-do. From the Red Fort and Taj Mahal to Fatehpur Sikri and the stunning forts in Jaipur and Ajmer, every location was breathtaking. The travel between cities was very comfortable as the majority of the route stays on well-maintained highways. Highly recommended!

Prakash and the team worked with me to develop a personalised itinerary including car transport, hotels and tour guides across 16 days which we were able to iterate until we designed do the perfect itinerary. Importantly the final price including 5 Star accommodation was incredibly competitive and significantly below the price of similar itineraries with larger group tour operators. In addition we had a driver, Monu , who was absolutely exceptional and made each days drive between each of our destinations both safe, engaging and enjoyable Definitely an Agency to place high on your list
