  Had a brilliant holiday in India with Joyful Holidays. Our driver, Rampal, was awesome; ultra reliable, made things easy for us and always went out of his way to make sure we were having a great time. Email communication was superb before the holiday and everything ran like clockwork whilst we were in India. Would recommend to anybody.

  I had an incredible experience during my trip to India, and I can't recommend this service enough! Our driver (Pooran Singh) was not only professional but also a great guide throughout the journey. The car was always clean and well-maintained, making the long drives comfortable. The service provided was exceptional – they always made sure we had everything we needed, including bottled water. The guides we had at each stop were knowledgeable and spoke great English, which made exploring the sights even more enjoyable. The hotels we stayed in were comfortable, clean, and conveniently located. Overall, a seamless and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend this service to anyone visiting India!

  I was on the golden triangle tour in December 2024 and loved it. Our tour guide in Delhi, Alvina, was so nice and sweet and loves her city. She honestly seemed happy to be showing us around. She also was great with dealing with my jet lag which made me slightly nauseous and unable to partake in some things (and seriously needing food). She successfully handled competing needs of myself and others in the tour. Our Jaipur guide, Rajesh, was willing to take as much time as we needed to see sites and he really seemed happy to explain take time and show/explain to us everything. But truthfully the hidden gem was our driver, Rajuddin. He was with us for the whole time. He was able to recommended good restaurants to eat at for dinner — and he went out of his way to drive us to and from dinner and any other random, not put of tour, excursions we decided to do. He was definitely the gem of the tour group. ——— Things I wish I had known (and may not be specific to Joyful holidays; I don’t know) 1) cost for sites is separate and roughly 500 rupee each. Expect to pay this for each one — in cash! (Despite that whole “some take cards”) 2) tour guide is per city, going between cities was just our driver; he was really our life line in knowing what’s going on. 3) sometimes it feels very last minute, what’s going on. I’m not sure why, but everything is done and organized and just works out.

  Very well organised tour, spectacular sights. Overall excellent experience. The local guides were very informative. Vijay in Agra was efficient. In Delhi, Alvina was very nice and her accent was easy to understand especially as we had just landed in India. Her flexible timetable was much appreciated. Rajesh in Jaipur was most congenial and an entertaining raconteur. Raju, our driver, was excellent. Although his English was limited, he had great wit and was expert at pointing out the uniquely absurd things one can only see in India, all the while manouevring the car with aplomb. Thoroughly enjoyable tour.

  The tour was fantastic! The guides were very knowledgeable, providing interesting information and helpful context as they lead us around each site. They answered our questions. Pictures never quite capture the experience of being in a place but the guides had great tips of picture taking spots that produced pictures that got us closer to this aspiration. Our guides also served as trusted companions in these unfamiliar cities. For example, our guide asked if we wanted to take a 20 minute ride in a rickshaw around Delhi. We thought that'd be fun. He found a rickshaw driver for us and told us exactly how much we should pay the driver. Thanks to our guide, our decision to take the ride was quick and worry-free—whereas when we considered engaging in similar activities on our own before the tour, we constantly worried about whether we'd be tricked or pressured into paying extra. The tour was well planned and executed so nearly every moment was well spent. When we arrived at a site, our driver dropped us off at the entrance. In some cases, the guides were even able to bring us all the way up to the front of the line so we didn't have to wait. Our guide and driver coordinated such that, when we were done with a site, our driver was there ready to bring us to the next location. We never had to wait. On some days, the tour included a stop at a local shop. At each of these stops, we had a small snack (e.g. a samosa and chai) and got to learn about the process of manufacturing a local speciality. Delhi was about rugs & scarfs, Agra was about marble, and Jaipur was about gemstones. Then they showed us some of their final products and gave us the option to shop and make purchases. There wasn't a strong pressure to buy anything—about half of the time we ended up not making any purchases. During these stops, I enjoyed learning about local specialities and getting to see behind the scenes of how they are manufactured. The guides were accommodating to our preferences. We let our guides know that, instead of paying site entree fees with cash and having to manage the cash, we'd prefer to pay with credit card or online. As a result, we paid most site entree fees with credit card or online. I really enjoyed this tour! Between the guides and driver, we had a lot of great information about the sites, we got to and from each site without having to wait around, and we received trusted advice for additional things we wanted to do in these unfamiliar cities. I would do another tour with this company!

  We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the great arrangements made during our trip. We truly enjoyed our experience, and our driver was exceptional. The guide in Agra was ok. But Bunty Sharma, who guided us in Fatehpur Sikri, was excellent—very humorous and possessing great social skills. The disable guide for the "Step Well", we kindly request that you continue to hire him as he works diligently and puts forth significant effort. Regarding Rajesh Barashar, our guide in Jaipur, demonstrated extensive knowledge and experience. We particularly want to commend our driver, who was always punctual and performed his duties excellently. Best regards, Jessica & Samuel
