  We have just completed a 5 day Delhi to Jaipur tour. Our driver Parveen was extremely professional, punctual at all times and courteous. His driving was excellent and he made us feel very safe at all times which made long journies relaxing and stressfree.

  Driver Review – Ram Pal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We couldn’t have been luckier with our driver, Ra Rampal. He was absolutely excellent and deserves a full five stars. We have travelled all over the world, but never have we experienced traffic like we did on this trip — yet at all times we felt completely safe and very well looked after. His driving was incredibly skilful and calm. Rampal was like a little fairy — every time we came out of a site, hotel, or attraction, he was already there waiting for us. He always opened doors, chatted with us, and was friendly, courteous, and professional throughout the entire four days. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and he genuinely made our trip more enjoyable and stress-free. We would highly recommend him to anyone. Tour Company Review – 4-Day Golden Triangle Tour ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From start to finish, this four-day tour was extremely well organised and ran seamlessly. At every destination, we were met by knowledgeable local guides who took great care of us. They explained everything clearly, were very informative, and made each place come alive. The hotels were of a great standard and in excellent locations, which made the journey even more comfortable. From the moment we booked, Sonia took care of absolutely everything — from reminding us about our e-visa to providing a detailed, clear itinerary. We felt supported and well informed at every stage. There is genuinely nothing we could fault about this experience. We would highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to book with them again. Allan & Linda QuinnShow more

  Sonia was easy to communicate with and quick with responses. The itinerary was customized to our dates so all monuments were open. Each guide was spectacular extremely knowledgeable, spoke perfect English and accomadating to any special requests. Rishci in Delhi, Ramesh in Jaipur and Khan in Agra. The hotel in Ranthambore felt old world charm and exotic, the hotel in Jaipur modern then the hotel in Agra (My favorite) was five star small very well managed. Our driver Ajay , what can I say. Treated us like royalty! Very kind, accomadating, punctual, obsessed with his cleanliness of the car for us and took us to clean rest stops along the many hours of driving. His driving skill is remarkable , there is no other way to travel as a North American. Ajay was with us for the full 5 days of our tour. Golden triangle plus Ranthambore.Show more

  Our India tour was absolutely incredible — so well-organised, informative, and accommodating. Everyone was so kind, helpful, and genuinely hospitable, making the whole experience unforgettable. A special mention to our amazing driver, Booran Singh, who was one of the best parts of our trip. He was the sweetest, most genuine person — always smiling, helpful, and professional. He took such pride in his work, keeping everything spotless and making sure we were comfortable and had water at all times. His calm driving made every journey so easy, and he never failed to run and open the door for me, no matter where we were. Such a true gentleman! We’re so grateful for the whole team — and especially Booran — for making our India experience so special. 🙏Show more

  The tour was great - this was our first time in India and we wanted a safe and easy way to see the golden triangle and the tigers in five days and this was the perfect way to achieve that!! Our tours in every city were very informative and gave us a lot of background on each of the areas we got to see. Our hotels were very nice in each of the cities. The best part was our driver Parveen who took us safely from one spot to the next and was always quick to share a laugh or some delicious samosas. The only thing I’d be weary is in Delhi note that a lot of the big sites are closed on Monday so if your trying to see the red fort try to catch that a different day.Show more

  Joyful Holidays, headed by Sonia Handa, was wonderful to work with. The communication prior to the tour was complete and prompt. We wanted to arrive a few days early and when the hotel she recommended was unavailable, she directly booked it for us. She also aided me in booking a one-day tour in Chennai shortly after the golden triangle trip. She provided information about Indian visas before the trip. She worked with me so that I could prepay monument fee costs as well as customizing the tour. Additionally, she provided us with a proper protocol for tipping guides, the driver, and porters. Two days before the tour she provided me with a ‘final’ itinerary (guides could change if circumstances called for). I would not hesitate to use Joyful Holidays again. Hotels: We stayed at four 3-star hotels as part of this trip – Hotel Southgate in Delhi, Hotel Paradise in Agra, Ranthambore Nature Camp & Traditional Heritage Haveli in Jaipur. All were excellent and had a reasonable choice for breakfast, but the Southgate was the best. Driver: Mr. Gulab was our driver. He joined us at the start of the tour and stayed with us until he dropped us at the airport in Delhi. He kept us well supplied with water and he made rest stops as needed. If we wished to talk, he would converse with us and if we wanted quiet, he would drive. When there was not a guide, he brought us to a suitable restaurant for lunch. He made the trip very pleasant. Guides: Our guides in Delhi (Shikha), Agra (Dilib), and Jaipur (Madan) were excellent. All were knowledgeable about their cities, but Madan had an especially deep knowledge about Agra. As a note, all brought to good commercial establishments specializing in the crafts of India. They also brought us to restaurants that were able to serve us a broad choice of milder foods (they did have spicier foods as well). In Ranthambore, we saw lots of wildlife but since we were at the end of the rainy season, the tigers were not seen.Show more

  Dear Michael DuBois, Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review of your experience with Joyful Holidays! We’re truly grateful for your kind words about Sonia’s support and attention to detail—from customizing your itinerary and assisting with hotel bookings to helping with visa information and tipping guidance. It’s wonderful to hear that everything was handled smoothly and with care. We’re also delighted that Mr. Gulab made your journey comfortable and enjoyable, and that our local guides—Shikha, Dilib, and Madan—added depth and insight to each destination. Your appreciation for the hotels, food options, and cultural stops means a lot to us, and we’re glad you felt well taken care of throughout. Even though the tigers remained elusive in Ranthambore, we hope the wildlife and natural beauty still made for a memorable experience. It was an absolute pleasure to host you, and we would be honored to welcome you again for another adventure. Warm regards, The Joyful Holidays Team
