  • Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi reviewer 1
    · March 5th, 2023
    Our trip to India was great. Everything was super well organized, the guides and drivers were super punctual. The guides were very good at imparting their knowledge. We learned a lot about Indian history, religion, food and of course the forts, temples etc. We felt safe and secure at all times. Many thanks to the Alkof Holidays team, drivers, guides. I definitely recommend going on a tour with them and if I ever visit India again, I will use their services myself.

    It was a nice trip, we had enough time to explore Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, and Jaipur. The hotels were excellent as we upgraded the hotel from 3 star to 5 star with 1 extra night stay in Delhi. Driver and the guides were very knowledgeable about all the local places. I recommend this trip and Alkof Holidays to anyone looking to visit India.

    Marlene

    Asked on May 2nd, 2024

    I am represent a group of people who want to visit India from the evening of June 4th. One of us needs to leave on June 9th, and the rest of us would like to depart on either June 10th or June 11th. We are Sabbath observers, so we will be unable to use electronics or travel significantly from around 8PM on June 7th to around 9:30PM on June 8th. If possible, we would love if you offered kosher food. We would love to do a hike or two if that is something you offer.

    Price / Availability
    • Alkof HolidaysOperatorWritten August 2022

      The current tour includes 3 star deluxe hotels, and to upgrade accommodation to 4 star hotels, you need to pay 35% additional charges on the current discounted price. Flights: Yes we can book the flight from Jaipur to Varanasi and Varanasi to New Delhi at an additional cost.

      Elena

      TravelerWritten August 2022

      Why we pay for the flight to Delhi again? Are you not understanding what is offered in the trip? The upgrade cost for the hotel from a 3 to 4 level is legitimate, even though 35% additional cost to $600 or additional $210 make it expensive.
