  This was an amazing itinerary packed full of temples, forts, palace visits - great if you are on a tight timeframe but want to see the highlights of India and get the most out of your 8 days. While it was hot, it was definitely quieter at the key tourist areas and our Tour Guide was amazing - we always had lots of water available on our air conditioned mini bus. The food, people, colours, sights and smells left me wanting to see more- thanks On The Go Tours for a safe and easy way to experience Incredible India.

  If you're considering going to India, make sure you travel with On The Go. They were amazing from start to finish. Our guide was passionate about his country and really gave us a personal insight into life in India as well as giving us the history of this beautifully colourful country. Travelling solo on this trip I was a little nervous but I need not have worried, everyone got on so well and had a fantastic time. The Taj was incredible!

  Travelling with On The Go was a great way to experience India. I was slightly nervous as it was my first time travelling on my own and I had heard India could be a bit of a culture shock. But I had a great time! The eight days were full of sightseeing and the occasional afternoon to relax or go off and explore. Yusuf our guide was fantastic, always patient and full of knowledge. When we were making our way back to the coach from the Taj Mahal, I said I was thirsty but couldn't be bothered to stop and get a drink from one of the vendors, as I was looking forward to sitting down, and next thing I know, on the coach he gave me a lemonade he had stopped to get for me. It was these thoughtful touches that really made the difference. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who is keen to visit India but has their doubts. I felt totally at ease the entire time, loved experiencing the culture and the food, and made some great friends. Including Yusuf!

  India was the first destination I ever did a group tour and what a perfect way to see the country. As a single female traveller I was concerned about visiting such a busy place on my own and had heard all of the horror stories. I chose to visit just the Golden Triangle this time around as I wasn't sure whether I would like it or not. Having now experienced India I can't wait to go back and see more and wish I had done a longer tour on my first trip. The included meals on this tour were delicious and it was so nice to have a dinner on the first proper night so I could get to know fellow travellers on the trip. Our accommodation was also really unique. It's lovely to stay in traditional properties in Jaipur and to be able to enjoy a swimming pool along the way. Our guide was fantastic and I am sure my experience would have been completely different if I had done it myself. He had so many stories to tell and really made me understand the history as well as the current state of the country.

  Yusuf, what a God Sent. I was very glad to have been on his tour. He is such a fantastic tour leader and I think he is worth much more. He is so educated in all areas of the tour and such a pleasant person to have around. He never says "NO" always willing to help and do his best. ON the GO TOURS, you are very lucky to have such a great tour leader who is very approachable, friendly and full of fun. We throughly enjoyed our first time in India and wish we have him again and again in our future tours. God Bless you Yusuf and you are very welcome to visit our country. Cindy (Australia)

  I absolutely loved loved loved my trip to India! I went on the Taj express and it was my first ever tour that I had booked. We went to the magical Taj and let me tell you - Absorbing that beautiful sight at sunset was an experience I will always treasure. The hotels were fabulous, the place they took us to for butter chicken curry was delicious, our local guide was fantastic, the last evening we had a lovely meal and dance with some local people which was truly entertaining . It was an overall great trip and everyone on that trip thoroughly enjoyed themselves plus 7 of us still keep in contact! Thank you On the go for such a great experience -- Natasha P

  I travelled to India in February with On The Go and absolutely loved it. Though only an 8 day trip, we were shown so much by our amazing tour guide, Sat. Though India can be daunting for some, I never felt unsafe and we were definitely well looked after by Sat who gave us extremely useful advice and the accommodation that we stayed in was all very clean and comfortable. My favourite parts of the trip were of course the Taj Mahal - such a wonderful experience and I actually have now made a collage of all of the professional photos that we had taken there (Sat actually organised a photographer for us and he personally delivered the photos to our hotel!) and also staying in the Haveli in Jaipur, which gave us such a wonderful cultural experience. The group, though varied in age, were all like-minded and we formed friendships which will last a long time.

  Having been on several group tours in the past, this was my first time with On The Go and I was a little disappointed. The hotels were a long way from the attractions, generally characterless, and often left you with no option but a cab fare or eating their overpriced meals. The intinerary was too packed with almost no free time. The "tipping kitty" didn't work, because wewere hassled for tips by everyone anyway, and the bus was so uncomfortable (no suspension) that we left the tour early and got a train back to Delhi. This was a really sanitized trip round India with minimal (none) exposure to local people or local foods.
