I feel like I've seen as much of India as possible in a month. There was a full range of activities that included "must-see" sites. There was a balance of occasional free time without sacrificing getting as much out of our day as possible! The high opinion I have of your CEOs has remained intact--I don't know how you are able to harvest such high quality individuals to lead the tours. I love G Adventures.

A wonderful taster of India, curated to take the hassle away from me so I could enjoy the experiences. As a solo traveller the smallish group gave a sense of security and also enabled us to make friendships. The CEO really tied it all together and I had a fabulous time.

A really very well organized and planned trip. From arrival at the Delhi airport to the last minute - we felt very comfortable! Everyone was very friendly, courteous and helpful to us. We would travel through this tour company at any time. Our special thanks to the Delhi airport representative, our guides in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, our very good driver and all the people who made this holiday unforgettable for us.

Golden Triangle With Mumbai

Local tour specialists organised a fantastic private tour for our group in August/September 2019. We chose the Golden Triangle with Mumbai itinerary and were able to get the best value. Having liaised with them via email in the months and weeks ahead of the tour to ensure all our queries were answered, we were greeted at Delhi airport by a representative and our driver without issue. From there we were transferred to our first hotel. We opted for 4 star hotels and overall were happy with the accommodation, although once there we would have liked to be a little more central to restaurants/shops etc outside of the hotel for evenings and free time. Our itinerary overall was pretty busy so not too much bother. We had different guides in each city who were all welcoming and knowledgeable. The particular highlight was our driver for the golden triangle portion, Mangeram, who went out of his way to keep us happy and share his knowledge and expertise with us. His English was great which also enhanced our experienced since we spent a large amount of time in his company traveling. We felt safe with him and that he was trustworthy - especially important as an all female group. It would have been good to spend a few more days in Mumbai and to stay somewhere central there. Overall, I would recommend local guides and drivers, who made us feel welcome at each stage.

"We loved our tours and the tour company was able to accommodate all our needs and show us a ton of India in a short amount of time. We jumped around to Varanasi, Delhi, Jaipur, Agra, and Bhopal (on our own for a wedding), and loved every minute of it. Was certainly packed but was our own doing and very fulfilling trip! Anu and Debasish in particular were great to work with and were very on top of logistics and coordinating everything to meet our interests. Also shout out to Rakesh who was our driver in Delhi and then again from Jaipur to Agra to Delhi — great guy! All in all, highly recommend!"

India's Golden Triangle

A relatively short but well-planned and extremely interesting exploration of the Golden Triangle, led by a simply wonderful and knowledgeable local resident (Indira) who steered us through the throngs of Delhi, Agra and Jaipur's streets and shared her local insight into all things India. Be prepared for lots of temples and forts, occasional traffic mayhem and architectural masterpieces. The local preparation and organisation meant we saw in a week what would have taken three times as long travelling independently (which I've done before in India), but we still saw the real country. An excellent trip.

Greetings Mr. Ritu. Our trip to India was an amazing experience. Your agency was wonderful Since the first contact, I was sent by a Brazilian Pedro, who helped to set up the script and talked about WhatsApp in Portuguese. I have had all the peace of mind since arriving in India with the receptive at the airport. And the whole script was fulfilled as agreed. The guide in Spanish and the driver were very attentive and helpful. Being always punctual, very clean car and very skillful driver and drove in complete safety. I highly recommend this agency to you and I will definitely return to India and I will hire them again. The experience of traveling to India was fantastic and part of this success I owe to you !!! Thank you very much

This was a great trip full of wonderful and varied experiences plus a number of highlights including: Bodh Gaya and important Buddhist sites, Varanasi, the Taj Mahal, Shimla and The Golden Temple at Amritsar. Travelling by train proved to be fascinating and a good way to meet people, even if it was not always totally comfortable. Pemba was an excellent tour guide, caring, well organised, knowledgeable and extremely likeable. I would certainly recommend the trip as a good way to explore this part of northern India.

Without the dust in Rajastan India is indeed a great destination not only for Westerners but anyone interested in East Indian cultures and traditions. Food was good but a little too salty for my tastebuds. In southern India food not as salty but also very good. I plan at some later time to revisit India but be a little more prepared to deal with the dust and the northern weather in January.
