  The India Tour with MTA tour is very well organised and informative. You get to see alot in the day which you are there. Plus they give more than one opportunity to see tigers at Ranthambore National Park. Our driver, Vimal, was amazing!! He was very friendly and kind, and most importantly made us feel safe and comfortable when driving through and visiting the busy streets of India. He could answer and questions we had and would go above and beyond for us. We would love to have him as our driver again if we came back to India. One of our tour guides was Najim in Agra. He was brilliant. Very informative and made us feel safe. He captured lots of memories for us and was easy to get along with.Show more

  Our driver Mr Vimal was kind, helpful, professional, sweet and very careful and his English was top-notch. The tour in general was great and very well organized. The hotels were all great and the guides well informed and helpful. We also had 2 cookery lessons, and in both cases they offered us an amazing experience.Show more

  We were very happy with this tour. Our tour guide, Mukesh, and driver, Mr. Subhesh took very good care of us. Mukesh taught us so much about each place we visited. We appreciated his knowledge of each monument and the stories behind them. He answered any and all questions. My only suggestion is that India is cool in December when we traveled and we wish we would have brought warmer clothes.Show more

  Good organised. Some guides were ok and some better. 1) Delhi : Really good experience with the guide ,lots of information shared. We would have liked that Akshardham temple is included and Jama Mashid is excluded. 2) Jaipur : Could had recommended to take a flight as the whole day was just travelling due to traffic conditions, partly we delayed but the route was exhausting and was just a trip in car. Jaipur guide was again excellent and informative where needed. We saw palaces, had good food and a nice tour around Jaipur. We also managed to do more things which really appreciated. 3) Ranthambore : Nature lovers would see this as a highlight of the entire tour. In General everything worked out but we found missing details like a) exact timings/schedule of the Safari. b) Organisation of breakfast as it collided with the morning Safari as it starts at 7 but we were picked up at 5:30 in the morning .( We were lucky that our safari ended early and we were in time for breakfast) We saw lots of animals, luckily the tigress Noor and a leopard on the hunt. 4) Fatepur Sikri : The guide rushed through the small tour and was not so keen on giving details. 5) Agra : Guide was excellent. We had lots of detailed mini tours of Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Baby Taj and we still had time at all these places too. No rushing. We also got the opportunity to see a short presentation of marble work. 6)Vrindavan: on the way to Delhi we also visited vrindawan and here the guide was a bit disappointing as he gave talked not so good English and not a lot of details. This was 90 min tour though. We had through all this a very experienced driver and keen to help and when asked on some recommendations he could give quality recommendations on restaurants, places General comments :Show more

  I booked the tour 2 days before I arrived in India so I'm very thankful that they could organise the trip in that small space of time. In the end I was on the Tour on my own, which turned out perfectly. I had my own driver Vimal who was brilliant, very helpful and took me anywhere I wanted to go but the trip was all organized for me so I had to do very little apart from get in the car at the right time. I have my own business so I used the traveling time to catch up on some work especially because I was on the tour on my own. The guides were great and had some much information. I also got to see a sloth bear and a tiger on the safari which blow my mind. Hotels were good overall apart from the hotel in Agra. (i didn't like that ones as much)Show more

  Excellent tour. Well organised in good rooms Any issues, MTA were always on hand to provide support. Drivers, guides, support staff were all excellent and happy to assist. The tigers, Taj and attractions kind of look after themselves :-) and all were as expected. A thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile tour I would definitely use them again.Show more

  Ms Glen, Thank you for your positive review for the overall tour except the Ranthambhore. This is just to inform you that the guides in Ranthambore Tiger Reserve are nature guides who work as Naturalists and are registered under the Forest department. These guides are arranged by the park and not by us the tour operators. The guides selected by the forest department are belong to the local community only and they are allocated duties as per roster system. We do understand your concern and we shall convey the experience you had with the guide to the Forest department, government of India. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for using our services. Regards, Team MTA

  Overall the tour was ok, but there were some major sticking points that didn't leave us with great impression. Below are in order of severity 1) the biggest issue was that 2 of the hotels that we were told were booked were replaced by 2 inferior hotels. There was no communication about the change until we rocked up at one of the other hotels. The messages on tour radar clearly read "these have been booked" , but I was told that this only meant they were going to instruct their staff to book these, and that they must've had issues with availability. Upon complaining the 2nd hotel switch was reverted back to the original hotel after we debated whether the hotels were equivalent (not so according to the review scores I read), so i'll give credit to the manager (Manish) there. However, we saw the original hotel was almost empty when we stayed, so clearly it had no problem with availability. So obviously the excuse of changing the hotel last min because of availability doesn't fly. 2) our first day of tour coincided with india national day holiday. When we booked we were not told that some of the sites and roads would be closed. I ended up prompting the manager after realising there would be large impacts after arriving in Delhi. We should've been advised of this, or at best, our tour dates should not have been available. We ended up missing out on Ghandi's tomb visit, and couldn't get anywhere close to Parliament House, the President’s House and India Gate. We also had to take the metro with our guide instead of the pre-arranged driver. The metro ride took much longer, required some extensive walking, and was a case of sardines on some legs. When i complained about missing out on sites i was told we could do them the last day of the tour when we arrive back in Delhi, however there was no follow up on these promises 3) kalakho village tour is NOT worth it. The only activity was being taken to a village just 5 min behind the hotel off a dirt road to watch the villages make chipati. Whole visit took 30 minutes. The rest of the day we just lounged around the hotel since theres nothing to do in the surrounds. The Umeid Lake Palace hotel was also not great. -our room lost power at least 5 times for spans of around 10-30 minutes each. When we finally complained and got it fixed they explained it was a wiring problem -doors are locked with a latch and massive industrial size padlocks. These padlocks are so big that theres little clearance to actually stick your key in there to lock & unlock. This also means you can be locked in your room if someone decides to pull the latch across. Not great if theres a fire. Rooms are also a little cold and foreboding 4) Fatehpur Sikri - we were assigned a site tour guide for this place, and it seems all the local guides are in on a scam involving pressuring guests to donate money to the mosque within the complex for scattering flower petals over a piece of cloth. You can read more about this online if you search for Fatehpur Sikri and scams on tripadvisor. I'm guessing the guides get kick backs from this scam. Although the guide is not part of MTA, i'm sure they are aware of this operation and should've warned us before hand. Another friend of mine went with a different tour operator and they didn't even use the local guides as this scam is common knowledge 5) only provided with one small bottle of water each, when it should've been two bottles. We also didn't see our driver every day so no bottles at all those days. May seem like a small thing, but when theres no shops close by some of the hotels and you're advised to even brush your teeth with filered water then it does become important!Show more

  Mr Alan Greetings from MTA Destinations We would like to thank you very much for your elaborated review, it gives us an opprtunity to introspect and improve. But I do would like to rebut few facts and would like to answer them point by point. We at MTA always take pride in giving our best to the our clients and we are not shy of going an extra mile to do that. As I was personally in communication with you, I was always there to answer any of your problems and doubts immediately. I was hoping that everything was fine, but now as you raised the issues I am going to answer them one by one. Point 1. Regarding the Hotels, we did change two of the hotels promised to you with the other options, but the options provided to you were the same options which we show them on tour radar for the deluxe category hotels. so we were in our right to change them, but when you raised the issue with me, I immediately change the other hotel for you. please note that most of the agenices would not do that. 2. Reagrdig your missed sightseeing on first day, it was out of our hands, and sometimes the sightseeing could not be organised due to many factors like diplomats visit, goverment procedures, riots, though we did try to complete the most of the sightseeing. But that happens very Rarely. and i did try to compensate to you by offering free dinners which you denied. 3. we will surely take your view in consideration regariding the stay at kalakho. so far all the customers have appreciated it. But we shall review it for sure. we thank you for this feedback 4. we would likr to thank you for the feedback for the guide services at fatehpur sikri too, we have seriously instructed our guide to not take our clients to any such places. we shall change the guide immediately. 5. Regarding the water bottle , we dont think its a genuine issue, as we have asked all our drivers to give our clients even 3/4 water bottle per day ( though we have mentioned 2 water bootles per person per day but we dont mind giving more also) as this doesnt cost us very much, you should have notified me regarding this immediately. anyways we are looking into this matter. In the end. I would like to thank you again for raising the Issues , but as i was alaways in touch with you and kept asking if everything was fine or not, i was under impression that things were absolutely fine, had you written me the issues than, that problems could have been avoided. we hope to serve you better next time. Warm Regards Manish
