This tour was the perfect introduction to India for my first visit to an amazing country. The 5 days were full of amazing locations, tours, history, culture, and food, while it still provided enough time to relax and reflect. Our driver, Manu,.was with us the entire trip. He took great care of us and made sure we were safe and comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. I can't thank him enough. The tour guides in each city were very good and gave us time to experience the attractions. The Agra tour guide, named Manish, is better than a professional photographer. The Jaipur tour guide, named Rghu, is very well-read and knows everything about the history of Rajasthan and beyond. He catered the tour to my interests and understood what information i was focused on and fascinated by.

We can’t recommend this tour highly enough! Every detail is taken care of for the entire trip! Sunil, our driver, was absolutely amazing! Not only was he an incredibly safe driver, he was such a good teacher! You pick up your guide in each city and they were all fantastic. They go at your pace and teach you so much. We had our daughters, ages 15 and 12, and they were so great with them. They so seamlessly whisk you through lines and anything that comes up. India is very overwhelming and we wouldn’t have been able to experience a fraction of what we could do on this tour. The hotels were excellent as well. We had such a magical experience!!!

Great tour and great company to deal with! Pre-tour communication and information excellent! We (couple mid-70's) did the 5-star hotels option. As new clean car to tour in. Driver (Shyam) was on time, very friendly, informative and most importantly a great driver in the bust India traffic. We felt safe at all times! Hotels were what we'd call 4-5-star all very nice for a good night's meal and sleep! Our touring of the sights was as planned. Our guides (Rishi in Delhi, Rajee in Agra and Naveen in Jaipur) were all very friendly, informative and really looked after us! Could not speak highly enough on this company! Recommend Crystal India Holidays for any tour! We also booked two private one day morning custom tours in Delhi direct with the company (with driver and guide). One before and one after this 5-day tour. Very reasonable cost! We wanted to see visit some of the places not covered in the 5-day tour in Delhi, e.g. The Red Fort, Akshardham Temple, Humayun's Tomb, The National Zoo (to see the White Tigers) and visit Sarojini Nagar Market (shopping). All planned and worked out well! Not one complaint on this company! Can highly recommend them. Many thanks to Amit and his team. Phil & Robyn (Melbourne, Australia).

Our first trip to India was amazing and we cannot wait to go back! The driver provided by Crystal India Holidays, Rajesh, was an exceptionally good driver and I am petrified of cars. His driving was so good we completely fell asleep during the 3.5 hour trip from Delhi to Agra and when he drove us from Agra to Jaipur, which was another 3.5 hours. The driver was on time, kept in contact with us and made the transportation part of the trip seamless! We visited the area of India known as the Golden Triangle which included a guided tour of the following cities: Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. In each city we had a new guide and each guide was fantastic! A special thanks to our guides, Shiv, Ashish, Rohit and Gaurav. Similar to the driver, the guides were punctual, professional, knowledgable and most importantly they were all around good people. It was an absolute pleasure to be in their company. The best part of the entire experience with our guides is that we were never pressured to buy anything. We've made travel arrangements with other tour companies and sometimes we were made to feel as if we were being taken to certain places for the sole purpose of being pressured into buying souvenirs, so it was sincerely a breath of fresh air to be able to just enjoy our trip knowing that if we wanted to stop and shop our guides would have allowed us to do so at the store location of our choosing. The hotels that were reserved for us were great! They were all clean, had great amenities and were in good locations that allowed us to further explore the city via public transportation i.e., train, Uber or my new favorite mode of transporation (tuk tuk!). The only thing that would have made this trip even better is if on the Viator description there was a note indicating that if your 1st day of the tour is on a Monday you will not be able to visit the Lotus Temple and Red Fort as the two sites are closed on Monday. We did our research before we arrived in India and independently visited these two, because we knew we would not be able to go on Monday, which was the 1st day of our trip. But, if we had not done our own research we would not have known this and we may have missed an opportunity to visit the Lotus Temple and Red Fort. The good news is the tour company was quite flexible, thus they allowed us to add additional sites to view the 1st day of our tour since the Lotus Temple and Red Fort were closed that day. Other than that, we truly are grateful to the team at Crystal India Holidays, especially Amit, the tour manager for hosting us and making our first trip to India...the best first trip ever! We felt cared for and in the hands of a super responsible team. Thank you, Crystal India Holidays. PS There is a Great Wall of Jaipur (Great Wall of Amer) that resembles the Great Wall of China! So Amazing!
