Wonderful Luxury India Trip with Stay in Oberoi Hotels
Hello Mr. Agarwal, we have arrived home safely and are dreaming and talking about India. You have given us such a wonderful time and we thank you very much for that.
Please share your English website with us so we can share it with our international friends here in NY.
Suresh is an excellent driver! Very careful and friendly. Always had chilled water for us. Was always in a good mood and occasionally gave us tips on other sights.
So, an absolute recommendation. He set the standard very high. The driver in Udaipur was our least favorite.
The St. Regis in Goa is very dated. There was construction everywhere. The renovation work is supposed to be completed by mid-November. We think that is quite ambitious.
The location (beach) is beautiful. The staff are very attentive.
Of course, we will write you a detailed review. However, that will have to wait a little longer.
We would like to send you our appreciation and thanks for a wonderfully planned trip
Dear Vikas
We would like to send you our appreciation and thanks for a wonderfully planned trip. The trip was all we could have hoped for, and more. The choices of sites and experiences were well beyond what we could have found ourselves. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and just plain fun. We feel you provided a bit of local flavor that other tour companies could not!
Overall Nepal was a great experience.
Kathmandu is a bustling tourist and exciting city with many nooks and crannies to explore. We really enjoyed the hotel and the amenities it offered. We also enjoyed being able to walk to find great food and unique stores from the hotel. As a pedestrian, sharing the busy roads with motorcycles and cars could be intimidating. We were happy with the guides and drivers who were fun and courteous. The day of sightseeing was well worth while. We chose to spend more time to rest and visit the markets near the hotel on our final day.
We also very much enjoyed the day of sightseeing in Pokhara. The rode to and from Pokhara however made for a draining day. For a short like we took, flying would be a better option if possible. We really like the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel. It was a nice escape from big cities. The weather did not allow us to get a good view of the mountains, but we can imagine it to be pretty spectacular from the small parts that poked through.
Namaste

We just came back from one of our best vacations we ever had
Dear Vikas,
here I my efforts to write a review for our amazing trip. Not easy 🙂
We just came back from one of our best vacations we ever had – thanks to Vikas and his perfect organisation. It’s hard to summarize everything we saw, all the amazing palaces, forts and temples and the wonderful people we met along the way. So I will keep to the main things…
As mentioned before: the trip ( Rajasthan and Goa) was planned perfectly by Vikas Agarwal. He was very patient with my changes and re-changes, was always available ( I don’t know when this man ever sleeps) and supportive before, during and after our trip. I have never made this experience with a tour operator before! he monuments we saw where the highlights of Rajasthan. The sightseeing always started quite early ( 8.30-9.00) so we were always there before the crowds. Very nice. We even saw 2 tigers on our safari at Ranthambore Nationalpark!
I have to admit: First I was a little sceptical to book with an operator based in India but I shouldn’t have been. The payment was easy, because he also has a bank account in Belgium – so no extra charges. T
The guides: In every city we had a new guide. All of them were very experienced, polite and open to all our questions. Thanks to them we learned a lot not only about the history of the many different place, the culture or religions but about their daily life in India. I can recommend every one of them! Their English was also very good 🙂 They also like to show some typical handicraft on the tour ( carpets, drawings, diamonds) but you can always say No!
Driver and car: Gulab, our driver throughout the trip, was one of our highlights! He is such a sweet, polite and humorous man you just have to love! And, of course, an amazing driver in the chaotic traffic. We always felt super safe with him! On our long drives we talked a lot about almost everything: politics, religion, his daughters wedding 🙂 He went out of his way for us, was always there and only left when we had securely checked in our hotel. Gulab was like a guardian angel!!! He is very proud of his a car, a comfortable SUV. He washed it every day, it was more than clean – inside and out. He also gave us tips, where to eat or where to shop. We couldn’t have wished for a better driver and person. Thank you so much, Gulab.
The hotels: This I can make short – no complaints! They were all good or even excellent! You can trust Vikas on his choices. Or if you would like a different hotel, he will arrange it.
Summary: This is also easy. Next time – and there will be a next time after our wonderful experience – we will only book with Vikas !!!!!

India and Nepal round trip: Review + Pictures
**This review was written in German and has been translated using Google Translator
We have decided at short notice to make a North India-Nepal round trip in October 2022.
On the Internet we came across “VacationIndia.com” and contacted Mr. Vikas, the owner of VacationIndia.com. The reaction time impressed us already here. Within a very short time Mr. Vikas contacted us and made us an offer according to our wishes.
Also during the round trip, Mr. Vikas, whom we were allowed to meet personally in Agra, was always available at very short notice via WhatsApp. In case of small inconsistencies – there were real problems on the round trip – he intervened immediately.
The trip was perfectly tailored to our wishes. Since our English skills are not so good, Mr. Vikas got us German-speaking guides almost throughout the trip, which was certainly not always easy.
Our trip started in mid-November 2022 in Delhi and took us via Jaipur, Ranthambhore, Agra, Ochra, Khajuroho and Varanasi to Napal. The stops there were Lumbini- the birthplace of Buddha- Chitwan National Park, Pokara and finally Kathmandu.
The trip was an unforgettable experience. Special mention should be made of the bike tour we did early in the morning in Jaipur. A real “blast”.
Thank you very much for the great arrangement.
Many greetings from Germany

Hello Mr. Vikas
After initial doubts about a trip to India as a woman, I let myself be convinced to take this trip.
After we have made very good experiences with the travel agency of Mr. Vikas, which has organized us the trip to Sri Lanka, I have made the India trip.
The booking was relatively easy, all our questions were answered quickly and well.
Our driver during the tour was very friendly and accommodating, as well as a very good driver.
There were no complaints with the tour guides, they responded to our requests.
When once in a hotel there was a complaint about the room in Goa Hotel, Mr. Vikas helped us immediately and we got the next day another, very nice room.
After 2 trips organized by Mr. Vikas, I can only highly recommend this travel agency.
I can only report positive things about the India round trip.
I can well imagine, again a trip from this travel agency (Vikas) to organize.
Greetings from Austria
