    · October 3rd, 2025
    I loved exploring the Indian culture and history through this 7 Days Golden Triangle Tour. Taj Mahal was as awe-inspiring as I imagined, and Jaipur palaces were equally impressive. All the hotels were all very comfortable, and the driver made the journeys more enjoyable with his calm and friendly demeanor. Highly recommended trip.

    I had an amazing time on this tour. Local guides were friendly and had a lot of knowledge, especially at the Taj Mahal. Hotels were all clean and comfortable, and the drives weren’t as bad as I expected thanks to our great driver. Everything was very well organized.

    From the airport pickup to drop-off, the services were efficient. Guides were friendly and made history interesting, especially during the Taj Mahal and Jaipur tours. Hotels were standard but very clean and comfortable. Our driver was polite and ensured smooth travel. The sunset at Mehtab Bagh was a highlight, and the elephant ride at Amber Fort was fun. The mix of history and culture with downtime made this trip very enjoyable.
