  This was a family trip for four night and five days. First day was tour of Delhi— heavy rain was slight challenge. Second day, we left early morning to Agra where Taj Mahal is. It took Approximately 3-4 hr drive to arrive at the hotel. Grand Murcure was very nice hotel and we were given a room with view of Taj Mahal. Around 5 pm, we were greeted by local guide who was extremely knowledgeable and respectful. He helped us tour Taj Mahal for evening sight seeing and next morning early visit to Taj Mahal. It was highlight of our entire tour and my family enjoyed every moment of it. Our tour guide at Agra made everything smooth and gave thorough history of the Taj Mahal which was entertaining and educational. Due to such an overwhelming experience at Taj Mahal, I didn’t know what to expect at Jaipur. However, Jaipur had its own unique surprises and my family had another wonderful day of informational entertaining tour. We were guided by another local Jaipur guide who was also very helpful and knowledgeable. At Jaipur, student ID is required for children of foreigners to receive student price (usually 1/2). Also most places only took cash for admission fee. I found out exchange rate is the worst at the airport and it’s easy to find exchange places while traveling so no need to change lump sums at the airport. Also, Using Uber was cheaper than getting around by taxi . Sonya (owner of the Joyful Holidays) was very personal and attentive. Our driver was also very prompt & helpful. The entire team worked diligently to make our experience worth some of the obstacles we encountered. Would recommend Joyful Holidays for exploring India.

  Thank you for a wonderful trip to India. Everything was planned exceptionally well to make the most of my time there. Nothing was too much trouble for my driver Raj as we travelled around the Golden Triangle to the sound of Bollywood tunes. The guides who escorted me along the way had a wealth of knowledge which brought the sites we visited to life. Really a 5 star holiday and as a single woman travelling alone, I can honestly say I felt safe and comfortable throughout.

  Well organised, clean and comfortable high quality hotels booked. Saw everything as promised, our taxi driver was an excellent and safe driver. Only dropped 1 star as two initial guides for Delhi & Agra were mot top notch, the first joined us for lunch without invite and declined to pay anything, the second just seemed disinterested in being our guide. However both were invaluable, as were the two subsequent guides, inobtaining the correct tickets and entrance for foreignets and

  We had an amazing time on our Golden Triangle tour with Joyful Holidays! We loved our driver Parveen and felt very safe getting to & from each destination. He was fun, nice, and made wonderful company throughout our journey! The guides at each stop were lovely and very knowledgeable about the sites, the best time of day & photo spots at each. They brought us to great restaurants and gave good advice on avoiding scams/up-charges. Sonia was very communicative and ensured we had everything we needed along the way. Overall, this was a fantastic 5-day tour and I would recommend it to anyone planning to visit Delhi! Special shout-out to our driver & guides Parveen, Alvina, Tlib, Bunty, and Rajesh!
