When our family decided to travel to India we didn't know which travel agent to use because we couldn't find a tour company in Australia to tailor our holiday, so after searching I stumbled across this tour company, it had good reviews so I went with them. We decided to go on the Golden Triangle, Mumbai and Goa Tour, we were able to choose the dates we wanted to travel and the level of accommodation. We went 3 stars for all of our accommodation which was good. We also decided to take the train from Mumbai to Goa first class and that was the best experience seeing so much from the train. Our whole trip went smoothly we had a representative every place we went, Arshad Khan in New Delhi was the best he was very engaging compared with other representatives. A driver who spoke english was sufficient we really didn't need anyone else, we received phone calls from the tour company everyday to see if everything is going well. Overall we would use and recommended this tour company in the future.

We started in Delh with Mr Manooj as a guide and Mr Deepak as a driver. Both spoke English well and our guide was knowledgable and flexible with our tour. On-time pick up at out hotel. Keeping us safe and allowing us to see the sights was well done by Mr Manooj. We enjoyed our day tour. The next day we traveled to Agra with Mr Deepak and met our second guide Mr Chandel who's English was equally as good and his knowledge of the Taj Mahal enhanced our experience. Again our guide was flexible in our tour agenda. I would have liked a breakdown of what the day tour would entail but I could have asked too. Would recommend this company and BOTH guides.
