Great Golden Triangle tour.
Steve H,Oct 24, 2019
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Good, no hassle trip that captured both the highlights and some unexpected treasures. Your private driver stays with you for the entire trip and is the linchpin, then you pick up guides in the different cities. Our guide, Munshi Rama, was all we could ask for: excellent driver, efficient coordinator and good company. We didn't have much of an idea about what to expect in Mandawar, but recommend adding it to a Golden Triangle tour. The hotel there, Vivaana, is a gem and the nearly abandoned town is an interesting window into the life of India's commercial elites in the late 19th century.
Best way to experience The Golden Triangle Route of India!

5.00As a full-time travel writer, I enjoy exploring not only tourist spots but also finding local/hidden gems. It’s also important for me to be able to travel safely, comfortably and stop in places discovered along the road, in order to capture a moment, to take a break or just simply change my schedule. This is why I highly recommend hiring a driver while in India. Recently, I had an outstanding experience traveling around the Golden Triangle route with one of the drivers from the Delhi airport service. The driver was not only courteous and respectful, but he was always on time and went above and beyond to take me to all the places that I wanted to see, sometimes suggesting the most timely itinerary. He waited for me at each place and then dropped me off safely at my hotel. I not only got to explore more of the area in a short time, but also had the flexibility to stop along the way in villages and places that got my attention. I highly recommend the hiring of a professional driver from the Delhi airport service company. They have lots of experience and are extremely professional. I can’t wait to return to explore more of the magic of India!

5.00I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to India. Our Driver Malkit Singh, and tour guides were professional and friendly. Every city was was unique and beautiful. We happened to travel as a family of 5. The tour had a good mixture of adventure and breaks along the way. Our most memorable moment was seeing the Taj Mahal for the first time. Absolutely stunning.Both old and new, rich and poor, spiritual and material struggle to occupy the same space. India is a mystical place that must be experienced.

5.00Delhi Airport Services is a true gem. This tour is wonderful for anyone looking to really explore the area in a week's time. The company is well organized, friendly, super professional and prioritizes the customer above everything. They provided an unforgettable experience from the start. All of the guides are renowned local experts who are extremely insightful about the region, temples and monuments. The hotels were very charming and comfortable particularly the one in Mandawa. Overall, being a solo female traveler, I was beyond impressed with the entire trip. Their wholesome approach factors in everything from history to food to local customs. My driver, Pankaj, was also top notch. He was a delightful travel companion -- really nice guy.

5.00I can not be more positive about the tour we did with Dehli Airport Service Pvt. Not only did it make our arrival into India so smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, but we were particularly impressed by the professionalism of all those we met along the way. Our driver, Balbir was a wonderful travel companion, all our city guides very well informed and the overall service provided by tour manager Jasmeet throughout our trip exceeded all our expectations. Thank-you.

5.00Namaste.. We truly had an incredible experience.! Such a wonderful surprise.! Amazing hospitality from arrival to the time we depart.. People are so humble and natured.. Our tour companion/driver Mr. Ravi Sharma is more than excellent.. We are treated as VIP and felt very secure the whole time.. The hotel accommodations are exquisite.. Taj Mahal is surely breath taking and should be at everyone's bucket list.. Built out of pure love.. It echoes through time.. No amount of pictures can describe its real beauty.. Our tour guide Mr. Sanjay Shukla is very knowledgable and will definitely make you see Taj Mahal as what it should be.. A symbol of unmeasurable and eternal love.. Fatehpur Sikri, Qutub Minar and Amber Fort are also a must see.. Complete with an Elephant ride.. We are truly amazed with their glamorous designs and unique architecture..

5.00We had a great time on this trip. It was well worth our time and money.
Our driver was very friendly and attentive to our needs. The van was tidy and even had WiFi.
The Taj was impressive even on a rainy day and Jaipur was amazing. Mandawa is an unknown gem that takes you back to the days of the caravans on the silk road. The havelis are very interesting.
We definitely recommend this trip.The trip was all that we had hoped...

5.00The trip was all that we had hoped. Our driver, Ravi Sharma, particularly, was important to the trip's success. He not only navigated in such a way that we felt safe at all time, he answered our questions on many topics about India and helped us find particular stores that we wanted to visit to buy organic teas, sandalwood soap,and books about the history of India. Our guides in each city were helpful. The hotels were excellent.
