Varanasi Art and Architecture Tours 2024/2025

“Following a friends referral this tour operator arranged a 7day private tour for six of us to visit places of Buddhist interest. They arranged all internal flights, excellent hotels, local transport & local guides. We were able to see and experience what we desired based on the homework and reading prep we had done prior to the tour rather than what the local guide (in Varanasi / Saranath) had in mind for us. The guides were very accommodating. Multiple associates (specially Abhijit Kumar) who helped in the initial planning were excellent and easy to work with. It was an excellent experience over all.”

“If you want to plan a trip to India, we strongly suggest planning the trip with this tour operator. We just came back from a three week trip to Rajasthan. The tour company helped us build the itinerary and time frame. We had one driver for the three weeks, and different guides in each city. Our driver, Om, was not just excellent, he was fabulous!! He was timely, careful, personable, and accommodating. Driving in India is a daunting task, but he made it look easy. Om knew the roads inside out and never got lost. He kept the car filled with snacks and bottled water. The guides from each city were knowledgeable, engaging and personable. They were all fluent in English, and some of them spoke French as well. Other languages are available. In addition, there was a greeter from the company at each hotel, to welcome us and make sure all was going smoothly. Every day someone from the main office called us to ask about the guide, the visit, the hotel , and wanted to know if there were any problems. There was flexibility in planning and the tour company representatives helped us make some changes in our plans as the trip progressed. It was reassuring to know that someone from the company was always available. They chose beautiful and luxurious hotels in or near the cities we visited. We felt like visiting royalty. Indian hospitality is incomparable. We received turbans, little ceramic elephants, complimentary drinks and special snacks, welcome music, and special attention. The most unusual experience for us was the Damodra Desert Camp in the Thar Desert. There are ten luxury tents complete with bathroom and shower. The stay includes a camel trip in the dunes, watching the sunset in the desert accompanied by musicians playing exquisite Indian music and dancing, dinner and a show. The matre d Mr. Nereyan saw to our every need and welcomed us as if we were entering his own home. He spoke to each guest individually and got to know them. When we left he gave us a souvenir of our stay: a beautifull little ceramic salt and pepper shaker in the form of a camel. Our itinerary included Delhi,Agra, Jaipur, Pushkar, Udaipur, Ranakpur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, Mandawa and back to Delhi. We learned a lot about Rajasthan and India in general. My wife and I highly recommend this company to organize your visit.”

“Can not fault this company from the time of my first email looking a the golden triangle tours Delhi Agra Jaipur they were brilliant. They were very prompt returning all my enquires prior to booking and changed the original tour as the Taj is closed on Fridays. payment for the fully escorted tour was easy and only a deposit was require the rest on arrival. We were met at the airport even though our plane from Singapore was several hours late.While in India they rang each day to see if everything was going ok. Our driver was excellent and each guide we had for each district were very knowledgeable and helpful. Second time in India and wouldnt not hesitate to use them again.”
