As a solo female traveler I always felt safe and had a wonderful time. the sites met and exceeded my expectations. Traveling between locations was very interesting because the country side areas are very rural with many small plots of fields that are tended by hand not much farm machinery. My drivers were amazing. The way drivers are aware of all the vehicles around them and all of them can move within inches of each other and never touch is impressive. Gwalior was my surprise locations with its beauty and connections, historically, to other locations on the trip. I did get to see tigers in the wild which was one of my main reasons for the trip. It was well worth the time in the air and airports to make this trip.Show more

  Do hotel rooms have a balcony? Can we confirm the domestic flights and whether they are included? Can you verify flight baggage allowance? Will there be 3 game drives in Ranthambore? Will we have a guide at the Taj Mahal?
- Golden Triangle India ToursOperator•Written June 2025
  Hotels normally don't have open balcony due to security reasons. Business class offers 25 Kg luggage. Ranthambore has 3 safaris - 1 morning and 2 afternoon in jeep or truck. A guide will be with you at Taj Mahal grounds only.

  Alexander
  Traveler•Written June 2025
  If we plan to book our own hotels, how much would it cost for tours and transfers for two people? Is this possible?
- Golden Triangle India ToursOperator•Written June 2025
  It would not be possible to book your own hotels. Every city is big and most hotels we are using are in the city. If you have a hotel list in mind, we can book those hotels and share the price.
