    · July 25th, 2025
    Hands down, one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. I did a customized version of the Golden Triangle itinerary with MTA, and while the temples and palaces were stunning, the real highlight was Manish, our guide. He made the entire trip unforgettable. Not only does he speak perfect Italian (huge bonus for us!), but he’s also incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely fun to be around. You can tell how much he loves his country and how much joy he finds in sharing it with others. It never felt like a cookie-cutter tour—it felt like exploring India with a local friend who truly cares. From transport to accommodation, everything was smooth and well-organized. But it was Manish who brought every moment to life. He answered all our questions (even the weird ones!), helped us avoid tourist traps, and was always happy to tweak the plan to fit our pace and interests. If you’re thinking of booking with MTA on TourRadar—do it. You won’t regret it.

    The trip was very nice and impressive. I felt that I was in safe hands. The drivers and guides were friendly, competent and responded to me as a guest. Except for the guide in Delhi, who was probably not having a good day. The hotels tried to provide me with a gluten-free meal. It would be nice if the drivers, with whom you spend a lot of time, spoke better English.

    Have felt very well taken care of as a solo traveler and always welcome. Can only recommend this tour, there are the greatest highlights to see. The guides know what they are talking about through their years of experience. The two drivers, Mr. Mukesh and Mr. Khan, master the Indian driving style flawlessly. I could spend fantastic days in India, big praise and many thanks!!!

    This tour offers the chance to see many of the countries temples, landmarks, and learn the history of these. There is quite a bit of travel involved. Plenty of things to take pictures of. You will see the heart of what takes place daily in India. The guides have plenty of knowledge, and will show you the best photo spots.

    About the "Temple Tour to North India" I belive that a trip to India can be complete and satisfying with the help of someone who will accompany you in the knowlege of its history and complex indian reality. When i arrived in India, i immediately had the perception that i had relied on an excellent, very excellent tour operator. I chose MTA after a careful selections among many travel agencies. During the trip i relaxed, excited, intrigued by. the beauty of this temples and palaces. I have to thank Mr. Manish Jadon a perfect and prepared guide, who organized and managed a special and wonderful trip. He also introdced me to the pleasures of indian cuisine, an aspect of the fantastic harmony that only India can offer. In the near future i think that i will return to India to continue to explore this incredible country, obviolusly with the help of MTA. Thank you! Pietro Piccin - Udine - Italy

    Carmen

    Asked on October 14th, 2024

    Is there any reason why we don't go to visit the Taj Mahal at the Sunrise? Itinerary says that we will see it after breakfast. Are we going to see the baby Taj? If I ask to add a day accommodation at Varanasi, how much it would be in total? I am a solo traveler.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • MTA Destination Management CompanyOperatorWritten October 2024

      Carmen

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      Would you give me tour price for 3 stars and 4 stars with extra accommodation?

    • MTA Destination Management CompanyOperatorWritten October 2024

      Pricing for 1 Person: Standard Hotels: USD 1595, Superior Hotels: USD 1925. If you book for December 10th, a 10% discount will apply. One additional night in Varanasi (Standard hotel): USD 60, One additional night in Varanasi (Superior hotel): USD 135.

      Carmen

      TravelerWritten October 2024

      The price I see on the web is $1399 with standard hotel and 1 person occupancy for 10 days. If I add a day in Varanasi with standard hotel($60) would be $1459. But your quote is $1595. Why?

      The price shown online already includes a 10% discount. We recommend booking through the website to take advantage of all applicable discounts. We can add the additional Varanasi night after booking is confirmed.

      Starting and ending hotel (3-star): Hotel Florance or a similar standard 3-star hotel. Quote for pre and post-tour accommodation: USD 60 per night in a 3-star hotel. Gluten-free bread for breakfast: Unfortunately, gluten-free bread is not commonly available in 3-star hotels in India. However, we will do our best to accommodate your request, though we cannot guarantee availability.

      While we strive to accommodate dietary preferences, gluten-free bread may not be available at all hotels, so we cannot guarantee its availability. Regarding your arrival, we can arrange your pick-up from either the airport or your hotel on the day the tour starts.
