5.00We very much enjoyed our experience with Mukesh. He drove us around all day for our tours, and it turned out to be a very long day from early morning to late at night. He was friendly and had a positive attitude the whole time, and made sure we got on our train seats even when the train ran an hour late. Great driver!

5.00We had the most wonderful time on the 5-Day Private Golden Triangle Tour! From Delhi to Agra and Jaipur, everything was perfectly planned. Our private guide made each landmark come to life with fascinating stories. The Taj Mahal was breathtaking, and Amber Fort felt like something out of a fairy tale. The transport was comfortable, and the accommodations were cozy. Every meal was delicious, and we loved how the trip was organized without a single hitch. This tour was a perfect way to experience the magic of India’s Golden Triangle!
Awesome Trip with Nikita!

5.00Everything was so fantastic on our trip with Nikita holidays. First, they were very responsive via WhatsApp, second, the setup of the tour was very easy, third, the driver was wonderful and fourth our guides were amazing. We had 3 different guides throughout our tour and all 3 were wonderful! While they all had very different styles, my wife and I really enjoyed all of them. Also, Rajni was a pro at photos - he took the most wonderful photos of us in Agra and especially at the Taj Mahal! I would highly recommend you have him take some photos!! The value of this trip was really spectacular and my wife and I cannot recommend it enough!
A trip to remember- India is beautiful must visit

5.00The tour started in Delhi, where our friendly guide met us at the hotel. Delhi is a mix of old and new. Our first stop was Qutab Minar, a tall, ancient tower and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s the tallest brick tower in the world, standing almost 395 feet (120 meters) high. The guide shared interesting facts about how it was built, which made our visit even better. Next, we went to India Gate, a huge arch built to honor Indian soldiers who lost their lives in World War I. It’s a calm and beautiful spot, perfect for taking pictures. We also visited the memorial for Mahatma Gandhi, where we spent some quiet time reflecting on his role in India’s freedom. Discovering Agra and the Taj Mahal On the second day, we traveled to Agra. Our driver, Sonu, was fantastic, making sure our drive was safe and comfortable. Sonu was great throughout the trip, driving smoothly and taking care of us. In Agra, our first stop was the Taj Mahal. It’s hard to describe how beautiful it is. The white marble, the detailed carvings, and the gardens around it make it look magical. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared stories about Emperor Shah Jahan and his love for his wife, Mumtaz Mahal, which made our visit even more special. He also helped us find the best spots for photos. Exploring the Culture of Jaipur Next, we traveled to Jaipur, also known as the “Pink City” because of its unique buildings. Our first stop was the Hawa Mahal, or Palace of Winds. This building has hundreds of small windows, which once allowed royal women to watch street events without being seen. Now it’s just a façade, but it’s still beautiful and unique. Shopping in Jaipur was also a lot of fun. The city is famous for its colorful markets with traditional crafts, like jewelry and textiles. Our guide showed us the best places to buy souvenirs and gifts. Comfortable and Safe Travel Having Sonu as our driver made the whole journey easy and worry-free. He kept us safe on the busy roads and ensured our comfort. The guides in each city were very knowledgeable and helped us understand each place better. Also, all entrance fees were included, so we didn’t have to worry about tickets. Final Thoughts The 5-Day Golden Triangle Tour was an amazing experience through India’s most famous cities. From the beauty of the Taj Mahal to shopping in Jaipur’s markets, every part of the tour was special. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a simple, well-planned visit to Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur.
Excellent driver!

5.00KK is a very cordial, conscientious, safe driver! He makes the journey an experience! He treated us at the airport with beautiful, fragrant rose garlands! His car is very clean and the air conditioning works great! Very prompt to arrive for pick ups. He works very hard to make the experience memorable.Fun trip to the Indian rest stop where he treated us to a tea served in mud cups! He also treated us to the local fruit called a custard apple. He also took his time to go to a local candy store to buy a special pumpkin candy for us to take home to enjoy. He always had refreshing water for us in the car. He made sure that point out special sites for us to s the. He is a jovial man who really enjoys his job and wants his guests to feel safe and enjoy their time seeing the sites in India.

5.00The best way to see the highlights in India with short amount of time. We had a wonderful driver, KK Sharma, who took exceptional care of us during this tour. Great driving and made sure to take stops when needed at safe locations (spent a good amount of time in the car getting from location to location). Great at communication the schedule for the day as well as start times to meet with our tour guides in each city. The places we stopped for lunches/dinners were great and were able to accommodate my cousin's celiac (gluten free) - for those who are gluten free highly recommend downloading and bringing a laminated copy of celiac card that is translated to Hindi. During our last day and before making the long trip back to Delhi took us to see the Elephants and were able to enjoy a jaunt around the village as well as feed them some bananas. It was a whirlwind of a trip and booking this with a private driver and tour guides made is so enjoyable! I would splurge and go for the 5 Star Accommodations (My favorite was the Tigress that was outside of Ranthambore National Park. Can't wait to visit again.

5.00Anil was fantastic - always there waiting for us and on time. He was very safe and smooth and always helpful (for example trying to find an atm etc). I would gladly use him again when visiting India
Amazing trip to India

5.00This is truly a great trip across India on the Delhi-Khajuraho-Orchha-Agra-Jaipur-Delhi route. The host party approaches the reception of guests responsibly. Hotels along the entire route were up to standard (except, perhaps, the hotel in Delhi on the first night). The guides are very professional and help you get the maximum effect from visiting the sights (I especially want to highlight the guides in Khajuraho and Jaipur). The driver Anyl is simply the epitome of professionalism and hospitality, our small group is very glad that we did this tour with him.
