  We had a great tour managed by a very experienced tour guide, Mr. Satya Mishra, who did a splendid job and gave us a lot of historical facts and cultural background on the various temples and places that we visited. Especially the Sun Temple in Karnak (my second visit here) and the caves in Orissa with the 2100 years old inscription were the highlights of the day - but all stops were interesting and our guide made the historical places alive. We had a great and memorable day. Thanks, Anne & Ib Wulff-Jensen, Denmark.

  It was an outstanding trip. Well planned and not too strenuous. The Guide Sumant was an experienced guide and took great pains to explain everything and not rush through. Came across as a well learned and humble gentleman. The driver Binayak also was very good and had good control of his vehicle. Overall a memorable trip.

  The booking process was easy, guide arrived on time. Our guide Mr. Tapan Mishra was very courteous and knowledgeable, He prioritized our requests however small or big and always stayed professional. If you like us grew up in India and have lived overseas for some years I highly recommend requesting a local guide through tripadvisor.

  

  

  

• Fantastic visit to Konark and Dhauli

  This visit was part of our third private tour with 5 Senses (first tour, So. India for a month; second No. India for 5.5 weeks; third East and South India, one month). You might have guessed that we are very happy with the company. All three tours were fantastic, this one no exception. Konark is an amazing site and well-worth visiting; plus we enjoyed the city of Bhubaneswar--especially it's extensive wall murals showing great civic pride, its many temples, and its folk arts museum. The museum at Konark itself is very well done and offers an interesting, if a bit fantastical, free film. The Vivanta in Bhubaneswar was one of the best hotels of our tour. A highlight of the visit was being able to attend a dance festival one evening in Dhauli, under the Peace Pagoda. Our 5 Senses guide--who had been a local tourism official before he retired--was able to get us tickets and front row, VIP seats, for free, and at short notice (same day). We felt like royalty! The primary strength of 5 Senses is its people. The owner, Mr. Narayanan, is a great travel planning partner (he’ll work with you to craft exactly the trip you want) and he is super-responsive during trips if any problems arise. I am confident that Narayanan will fix it if it needs fixing—he has helped us several times in that way, and he has done it quickly. The state-based “cultural ambassadors” he has recruited (the guides who accompany you for days, across multiple sites) are excellent and soon become friends. For this month-long tour, I’d particularly like to call out Kannan (Tamil Nadu) and Mohan, and Chandra Shekar (Karnataka). If you are touring other parts of the country, we highly recommend Balwinder (Punjab and Rajasthan) and Vivek and Ram Sewak (Varanasi, Khajuraho and environs). It is basically a fool’s errand to try to price shop local tour operators—there are too many variables, including the type of accommodation, the quality of guides and the quality of transport (both of which can’t be assessed ahead of time). That said, over the course of the three tours, we feel that 5 Senses has been very good value for money. And I can say for certain that you would pay three times as much for the same Smithsonian or Nat Geo or other corporate tour, plus you’d be on a bus with many other folks and stuck with the group schedule. With 5 Senses you’re in your own car deciding where and when you want to go, where you want to eat, and when you want to take it easy. My advice to friends looking for a private tour in India is “don’t bother contacting other companies, just talk to 5 Senses. You won’t regret it.”
