  What can I say about joyful holidays and Sonia it's owner. If I could give 6 stars I would but have been limited to 5. I wanted to arrange a tour of northern India with my wife and 2 adult children. I found joyful via Internet search and from the start they were absolutely brilliant. Sonia asked what we wanted and what our budget was. Working with that she created a bespoke tour for us. 2 tours one south of delhi (agra and ranthambore)and one north and West of delhi (shimla, chandigarh, anandpur sahib, Ludhiana and amritsar). Initially all via email answering every question very quickly and advising on our choices and making recommendations. Week before departing for india Sonia provided her WhatsApp and the drivers WhatsApp. Once again all queries answered promptly. Our driver mr ram pal was fantastic. Never tired, always available, extremely calm esp in the chaos of delhi. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. If I wanted him, him his answer was always 'yes sir whatever you want'. Amazing customer service. Sonia gave us options of 4* and 5* hotels which we picked. We could.have picked others and she would have booked them for us, giving us price for each. Sonia also arranged, as part of the package, a tour guide at every site. Each was an extremely knowledgeable local guide who knew the site, its details and its history extremely well. Absolutely fantastic. Sonia would contact us regularly to make sure we were OK and then also advised of any upcoming issues ie crowds at the sites we were going to and gave tips on how to remain safe. So caring and considerate. Another amazing thing was that we could change our itinerary on the fly and Sonia would try her best to sort out. Everytime she came through for us. We decided last.minute to catch train from delhi to chandigarh instead of the arranged drive as it was 5 hours long. Sonia booked the tickets for us promptly and sent tickets via WhatsApp. How brilliant. Ram pal our driver took our luggage a day early by car and picked us up at chandigarh station the next day. We were also going to catch a train from.amritsar to delhi (6 to 7 hours). Decided 2 days before to fly. Sonia advised us we booked the flights. She cancelled our train and used that money to arrange pickup from delhi airport and then the next day ram pal picked us up to take us to delhi airport for flight back to London. He had driven 12 hours from amritsar to delhi. Was able to pick us up at 2.30am to take us to airport always with a smile. What amazing customer service. So if you want great customer service, amazing tours arranged, amazing tour guides, amazing drivers and with flexibility to arrange last minute things all with excellent communication then there is no one apart from joyful holidays and Sonia to contact. We as a family are more than happy to recommend. If we go to India again we will 100% use joyful. I have already recommended them to friends and family. Thank you joyful holidays, Sonia and ram pal for making our family holiday so brilliant.Show more
