What people love about touring Maharashtra solo
- North India Amazing Tour
My experience with GT India Tours was exceptional. From the very beginning, the airport transfers were smooth, and the vehicle provided was comfortable for our long drives. Day sightseeing tours were organized well, with knowledgeable guides leading us through the fascinating history of sites. The hotels were all of good quality. I also loved the safari in Ranthambore-it was an exciting part of the journey. The whole trip was hassle-free, with everything running like clockwork. I highly recommend their well-organized services.
I decided to take a lengthy tour that focused mainly on the historical and cultural aspects of different places in India and I can easily say that this was one of the best trips I’ve taken. All of the locations were beautiful and apart from a slight culture shock at first, I was able to get a feel and understanding of what it’s like in every place. Mumbai’s landmarks, Aurangabad’s many caves and Khajuraho’s temples were awesome. Ganga Aarti Varanasi was a major influence as well as Jaipur, Agra and Delhi. The guides were all very insightful, professional and kind and I learned a lot from each of them. They all provided information about each site in depth and the majority answered all of my questions with relative ease. The drivers were also very competent, courteous and professional and I particularly enjoyed the long drives in between the major cities. The meals included were good as I already enjoy Indian food. Amit, the tour organizer was especially helpful, followed up on all inquiries and the domestic flights arranged made the transfer easy. Overall, I had a wonderful time on this tour and I will always be grateful to everyone who made this experience possible.
Heritage Tour to India
- Incredible Tour to India
This was our first time in India and we were overwhelmed-in a good way. The history we learned in Delhi and Fatehpur Sikri made us realize how little we knew about the Mughal period. The hotels varied a bit, but most and clean, with friendly staff. Ranthambore was a real treat-we even spotted a tiger! Our guide in Jaipur was outstanding and knew hidden gems. Our driver, Rajiv, was a true professional, always patient and calm in chaotic traffic. Varanasi was chaotic but unforgettable.
