What people love about India Tours in October
- Heart of India (5 Destinations)
A great tour from start to finish! I have old and new Delhi with professional guide and driver. It is hard to believe how beautiful it is. Recommend!!
This was an amazing trip. Every single stop on the itinerary was worth visiting. It's hard to mention highlights, but obviously the Taj Mahal and the boat ride(s) on the Ganges rank very high. But also the stay in Tordy Garh, in a beautiful Heritage hotel, was amazing. I have to thank our team leader Gajraj, without whom we could never have experienced everything we did. He made sure that everyone was OK all the time and that we got to see what needed to be seen, while still leaving us with all the free time time we needed. As this is a "basix" tour, you can't expect luxury hotels, but the places we stayed at, were all very good value for money. And last but not least, you can't do a group tour without fellow travellers, all of which were very nice people. At (almost) 48, I was the oldest of the bunch, but from the youngest to the oldest, everyone had a great time. And if you can spare the cash, do take the optional balloon safari in Jaipur ! All in all, I can recommend this trip to everyone, old and young.
Indian Getaway
- 6 Days Golden Triangle with Ranthambore Tigers and Taj Mahal Sunset/Sunrise
Where do we start. As you are obviously reading this, you have already found Joyful holidays, and are wanting to compare reviews. We chose Joyful holidays because Sonia could offer a tailor-made tour. We were looking to tour the Golden Triangle but also wanted to add in a trip to Amritsar, to see the golden temple and the Wagah border ceremony, and a train journey. Additionally, we are an elderly couple and needed to be sure the tour was at a steady pace. Our driver Parveen was excellent and spoke very good English, at all times he was polite and courteous. Also, despite the chaos of the Indian roads, we always felt safe. Our official guides at each location all spoke good English and were very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble, even a wheelchair was provided as one of us has a slight mobility issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would not hesitate to recommend that you book your tour with Joyful holidays. Talk to Sonia, WhatsApp, email, phone, do it now.
