I had nothing to do with the planning myself, my daughter and Vikas did that. I can only evaluate the result and it was fantastic!!!!!

In the course of my life I’ve done quite a few trips, but I’ve rarely experienced such a well thought-out and well-planned journey.

We had a really great driver (Madan) who took great care of us. IN all cities we met local tour guides who gave us excellent guidance and information. I found it good that they always took care of me, I’m older and can’t always run that fast.

I really liked all the hotels and would recommend them, only the one in Delhi was very noisy.

Many thanks to Vikas and his team for this great, impressive holiday that I will certainly remember for a long time!

We booked a North India trip with Amritsar and Tiger National Park through VACATIONINDIA.COM.

The trip was very well organized from the start. From the first e-mail contact to the last day there were no complaints. We have received a detailed itinerary, which you can also change according to your own wishes. All contact by e-mail or in India by Whatsapp and in person was always prompt and extremely friendly. We have never experienced such close and loving travel support. There is another contact person in Germany, Mrs. Monique Hartmann, from whom you can get information by phone at any time and for first-time travelers like us, you can ask many questions in German. That was very helpful.

We flew with Lufthansa from Frankfurt to New Delhi. At 1:30 am we landed in New Delhi. Entry was quick and relatively uncomplicated. When we left the airport building, our driver was already waiting for us and took us to the hotel. Here we also received our complete travel documents and hotel vouchers.

It was particularly practical that we could exchange money directly with the driver upon arrival. Thus, withdrawing money from the ATM was completely eliminated for us. Vikas will suggest the required amount of cash in advance.

The next day we got another driver who we kept for almost the entire trip. The driver was very competent and extremely friendly. He was always on time and also took our wishes into account. However, basic knowledge of English is useful for communication. The driver gave water every day for the sometimes very long journeys.

Vikas contacted us every evening and asked if everything was OK. is. In every hotel you have very good WiFi reception. During the day, Vikas reported to the driver and found out if everything was going according to plan. We were especially happy that Vikas met us. We really enjoyed the evening. Vikas’s knowledge of German is very good.

All hotels were very well selected. There were never any difficulties at check-in. All hotel rooms were to our complete satisfaction and the service was almost always second to none. Vikas has also included some highlights in the accommodations. We had a deluxe room and a stunning palace hotel in Sardargarh. The accommodations always included breakfast. In one hotel there was a dinner buffet in the price of the rice and in Rathambore there was full board. The food in all hotels was very tasty.

We had a different guide for each destination. All guides were punctual, very nice and explained every sight to us very well. The guides spoke German. All agreements have always worked. We didn’t have to worry about anything about the sights. The guide got all the tickets. He was always by our side and was really able to answer all of our questions.

Unfortunately, one is repeatedly driven to shops that offered jewellery, carpets, clothing and other souvenirs. We took a little tour of these shops, drank a delicious chai tea and then politely informed them that we weren’t interested in shopping. We were never hassled by the vendors and pushed to buy anything.

The domestic flights all went smoothly. But you should plan for small delays.

The train journey was also very well organized and went without incident. Everything is well signposted at the train station and since we traveled 1st class, we drove very comfortably. Breakfast and drinks were served on the train. The train was air conditioned and the seats were very comfortable.

As a conclusion, we can only say that this trip with the tour operator Vikas was really worth it and we can recommend vacationindia.com unreservedly. This country is so beautiful and worth seeing. But thanks to Vikas and his team, it became an unforgettable trip.

Thank you Vikas!

Greetings from Berlin from Claudia and Uwe Brehm

After a Rajasthan tour in 2016/17, my wife and I also wanted to get to know southern India.

When we were looking for an agency for individual round trips, we ended up on the “vacationindia.com” website.

With Vikas Agrawal as agent and travel planner, we had found the right man

to book an individual trip.

Our tour started in Chennai and ended back in Chennai after 14 days.

We were very enthusiastic about the first tours in Mamallapuram and Kanchipuram, here really great people, grandiose temples and during our travel time thousands of pilgrims completely captivated us!!

Our tour continued via Pondicherry, Tanjore, Trichy to Chettinad, one of the most impressive small towns on our tour for us.

In Chettinad we were welcomed by a really great hotel, “The Bangala”, especially since the place is also known as an insider tip for tasty cuisine, which we can fully confirm.

The next stops on our impressive journey were the temple city of Madurai and the Periyar National Park in Thekkady.

For us, one of the loveliest parts of the south was the soothing tea and spice plantations surrounding the hill town of Munnar.

We caught a dream day during our visit to the Eravikulam National Park, where we were able to experience a great mountain world with evergreen tea plantations on a hike up to almost 2000 meters above sea level.

Our onward journey went to Alleppy on the backwaters, here we undertook an overnight houseboat trip, which went a little differently than we had hoped.

After this excursion on the water, we made a stop at Mararikulam Beach where the Indian Ocean welcomed us.

Here we had a hotel in a great beach location, with an irretrievable sunset that some locals also used for an evening swim.

The port and fishing metropolis of Cochin was impressive for us, here you can still experience the flair of the colonial era up close.

After an evening domestic flight we landed back at the starting point of our round trip in Chennai. The best hotel of our round trip was the “GRT Grand Hotel”, a top hotel with a great restaurant and very tasty food.

The last day of travel took us through the 4 largest city in India, which is still very much characterized by colonial influences.

Unfortunately, this trip also ended far too quickly and we had to adjust to wintry Bavaria again.

Finally, we would like to thank our great driver Sundara Moorthy again, he accompanied us everywhere with his car and fulfilled every feasible wish.

We were very satisfied with our different guides, they gave us interesting insights into the way of life, brought the different faiths closer and gave information about the cultures of southern India.

My wife and I particularly liked this way of experiencing such a round trip with our own driver and we will certainly repeat this at some point on another tour!

The trip from the beginning was incredible, after arriving in New Dehli and staying there for work for a few days, we started; Celeste and I had an incredibly well-planned and perfectly organized tour, we stayed in first-class hotels and we always had our driver who helped us with everything and was super friendly and respectful, we visited Humayun’s tomb, and we had the wonderful experience of visiting The Gurwara Banla Sahib Sikh Temple where we participate in the solidarity tasks that can be carried out there, our guide was very nice throughout the tour and helped us to fully understand what was happening inside where peace surrounds you almost by surprise. We also visit Old Dehli aboard a Rickshaw, there with its skies full of cables where the madness of the city mixes with the colors of the clothes and the smells between spaced and intense make this ride an unmissable experience.

Then we started the trip towards the Golden Triangle, we visited Agra, the Taj Mahal amazed us with its greatness, we also visited Ghandi’s tomb and we met the Agra Fort, the whole journey was intense and with each step we felt more enchanted by this country so old and contradictory, our guide always accompanied us and translated perfectly.

Then we went to Jaipur, a charming city, full of shops and bazaars, we toured the Amber Fort, there we had the dream experience of riding an elephant and discovered the splendor of the ancient cultures that lived there.

We finished our tour flying to the city of Varanassi, and what else to tell you…, it was a unique experience, living the night ceremony on the banks of the Ganges, and seeing the sunrise the next day from a boat has no possible description, the whole trip was incredible and the organization, the punctuality, the guides and the choice of hotels was perfect. Thanks VacationIndia.com, thanks Vikas for your professionalism and thanks to everyone who works with you because it was unforgettable thanks to you.
