Dear Mr. Vikas, we had a hitch-free travel experience, full of positive impressions. As a matter of fact, we recommend this trip to everyone strongly, and we will never forget the organizers for a real professional job. Vacation India is highly recommended from us.

We spent 2-days in New Delhi and Agra. We later move from Delhi to Chennai. Going to our plan, we intended making a roundtrip all through Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, Tanjore and Trichy, Chettinad, Thekkady, Madurai, Munnar, Backwaters using a houseboat. Also, Mararikulam Beach to Kochi, and from there we had a return flight to Singapore.

As the journey progressed, we experienced India and its rich culture in an excitingly different way. We enriched our travel experience by learning about the people of India from their birth times to death days. It did not end there; the trip was made more fun-filled with houseboat experience and night in Backwaters. Also, we visited tea plantations in the mountains, botanical garden and so much more.

The rainy weather in Thekkady (Periyar Tiger Reserve) made us have a change of plan—we canceled our trip on a bamboo raft. Though the journey was worth it in every regard; we enjoyed our trekking tour in the Reserve. But we ran out of luck as we couldn’t set our eyes on the flying squirrel due to the heavy downpour. Some of the places of interest that made our trip worthwhile are the Taj Mahal, National Museum, the Rail Museum in New Delhi and the Mosque in Old Delhi.

We can’t simply exhaust all here, but we are convinced that our fond memories will always be with us all along.

Hi, Vikas. I had a fantastic trip to India. Thank-you so much to you and the staff of Vacation India. At each stop, I tried to submit the forms which were provided, but not all of the representatives collected them. In Khajuraho, I tried to give the representative all of the forms, but he only wanted the the local one.

The first guide and driver in Delhi were excellent. Unfortunately the first day the guide didn’t have the itinerary and we only did about 1/2 of the planned activities. We tried to make up for it on day 2, but we were unable to see the museum which I was really looking forward to visiting. The hotel was adequate. The food and service were good. There weren’t major issues, but the internet only worked one of the days and the pool was unavailable. The location was convenient to the airport, but I would have preferred being closer to the city.

The hotel in Udaipur was excellent – great rooms, view, and pool! The guide there was good.

The driver to Agra was excellent. The hotel in Jodhpur was really nice with great service and a nice pool. The guide there was good.

In Jaipur, the hotel was generally good. I had problems with the service one day, but the other day was fine. The food was good. The guide was very good.

Ranthambore was amazing! The tents were very nice and the food was really good. They had a nice pool as well.

The guide in Agra was fine. The hotel was very good – unfortunately the pool was unavailable. The woman in charge of customer service was excellent!

The transition to Orchha was easy. The hotel there was really nice. The guide was sincere and pleasant, but overbearing and constantly repeated himself.

The hotel in Khajuraho was superb! Although it was a little distance from town, it was within walking distance. The guide was fine and the representative was excellent.

The guide in Varanasi was somewhat similar to the gentleman in Orchha. He tried hard, but could not relax. The hotel there was quite nice.

Overall, the quality of the hotels was excellent – the service, comfort (all of the hotels were comfortable and clean), and food. It isn’t a major concern, and I understand that it isn’t easy, but it is unfortunate the internet connectivity wasn’t better. The drivers were all really good – safe and reliable. I almost never take guides and this was the biggest difficulty for me. I prefer to go at my own pace and see the things that I want to see. My personal preference is to be uninterrupted in viewing historical sites although the information while walking through the cities was more interesting. Although several of the guides were good, it would be interesting to have trips with a car & driver & maybe the representatives. I may be in the minority in this opinion.

The sites were virtually all amazing and the majority of them were not overly crowded! India is a fascinating place. I hope that this helps. Please let me know if there is any other information you would like to know about my trip.

Thanks again for all of your assistance and accommodating me with the visa and banking issues I experienced.

I will recommend you to anyone I know travelling to India in the future and will use your company when I am able to return.

All the best, Anthony Aubin, Canada

We decided to book the round trip on VacationIndia.com because the website was very appealing and also showed flexibility. Rajasthan with the Rambathore National Park seemed tempting, but we wanted more nature. Vikas has added another national park (Bandavagarh) to the trip. The total of 8 game drives in the two national parks were great and we saw some tigers and even leopards. The whole trip was very well organized. Everything always worked out on time, even with the two domestic flights. We had a good comfortable car, very safe drivers and competent, very friendly guides in all cities. We would especially like to mention Imran in Agra. On the way, clean restaurants with delicious lunches were always approached. The selected hotels have all convinced us, especially in terms of ambience and location. Vikas was always personally concerned and kept asking via Whats App if everything was working. We would like to thank him very much for the dinner in Agra, where we ate great and had a lot of fun.

The train journey from Jainsi to Agra was also very interesting and the train journey from Phulad to Kamlighat was very impressive. Looking back, we can only say: it was so exciting, instructive and varied. Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed every day.

It was the first trip to India but certainly not the last, because the large country inspires with all its cultural and natural treasures.

Denise and Rolf

We had deliberately booked our trip with Vacation India, as this organizer is directly on site. To sum it up, everything went perfectly!! Communication with Vikas was excellent right from the start, always friendly and helpful. Vacation India put together several itineraries for us to choose from and always accommodated our requests (e.g. bike tour in Jaipur). The agency was always available during the trip and short-term changes/additions were implemented immediately if possible. The driver, Mandan, was absolutely helpful, professional and confident. The almost new vehicle was very comfortable and also very suitable for long journeys. The guides on site made a very good impression and were mostly German-speaking (although we speak English well). After this fascinating experience we would book with Vacation India again immediately…because everything fits! Best regards to Vikas and Mandan… Petra and Michael

We did the golden triangle and had a great trip. Excellent services from Vikas and all his staff from the places we visit. We went to Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Jodhpur. I believe for every single human being it´s mandatory the visit to the Taj Mahal, what a wonderful place, so sacred and magnificent.
