    The golden triangle tour with Varanasi was great ! I booked this tour with my girl friend for 7 days in India as we specially wants to see Delhi, Agra, Jaipur & Varanasi. Sukret was great with communicating with us and kept us well informed, very polite and a pleasure to meet. It was my second time in India and for my girl friend this is her first time. She was very anxious about India before but the hotels, car, driver and tour guide in the program were very good ! She felt herself safe and happy from the beginning of arrival transfer in Delhi. Mr Ganesh was our driver in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. He met us at Delhi airport and drove us around for four days to view the sights and also dropped us to the Agra Railway Station to catch the train to Varanasi. The train tickets which we travel from Agra to Varanasi and Varanasi to Delhi were luxury. It was A.C Coach which make our journey comfortable and memorable. The tour guides appointed in whole the trip were very knowledgeable and happy to answer for any questions about the history of the places. They were very kind, professional, thoughtful and polite and nothing seemed too much trouble! One of the best moment of the trip was the Ganga Arti’s in morning and evening by boat ride in Varanasi. Also Mr Amit was an exceptional driver in Varanasi and was a pleasure to be with. We have booked 4 Star category Hotel’s which were all good. Specially the Hotel in Jaipur. Thank you for making our trip very well.

    I recently traveled the Golden Triangle with Varanasi tour, and it was fantastic! Everything was very well organized, from day 1 airport pick up to..the hotels.. to the sightseeing.. private car and a good driver. Our guides were knowledgeable and made every place come alive with stories and history. The mix of the vibrant cities and spiritual Varanasi gave me a complete experience of India’s culture. Minal our tour manager keep on touch and enquired about our status and made sure all went well. The driver Ramesh was very helpful and supportive as well. He provided useful tips and suggestions and made sure everything went smoothly. Definitely would recommend them for anyone wanting a hassle-free and memorable trip.

    Asked on January 25th, 2023

    I am a solo travelling woman - would you it consider to be save to do this trip, also considering that it is probably a vary crowded place to go? And also travelling by train. I heard there are special cabins for women, would such a place be booked? Would there be a pick up to get to the train station?

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      Would the tour take place even if no other people booked it and I would be the only person?

    • Volunteering With IndiaOperatorWritten January 2023

      Yes we run the tours as private and for solo. Many of our past customer has joined this tour as a solo. For the train tickets there is a special cabin for women but it's not good. It is general quota which is not comfortable and you won't find seats easily. There is no A.C coach in women cabin too. For our clients we book AC 3 Tier or Ac Second Class tickets which is a very good category and has private confirmed seats. Yes we arrange pick up to station in this tour. Our representative will come to pick you from the station and also our staff will bring you in the car to the train station and help you to seated in the train.

    • Volunteering With IndiaOperatorWritten January 2023

      Yes, the Hotels which we book for you will be Vegan Diet so don't worry. Once you book the tour and confirm this we note this.

    • Volunteering With IndiaOperatorWritten January 2023

      Lee

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      I might be back earlier from my last tour. Would there be a possibility to rest somewhere at the train station if I got there directly?

    • Volunteering With IndiaOperatorWritten January 2023

      Yes we will book the AC Tickets which have sleeping compartment don't worry we understand it's a overnight journey.

    • Volunteering With IndiaOperatorWritten January 2023

      Yes from both cities there is a main station from there train leave. In Delhi it's main New Delhi Station and in Varanasi it is Varanasi station.

    • Volunteering With IndiaOperatorWritten January 2023

      In Varanasi on the last day sightseeing finishes in late evening and we will drive you to the station. Here you will be having 1 hour waiting time because the train departs at 10:00 p.m - we bring our clients to the nearby restaurant for dinner and then drive you to there. The driver will be there with you until train depart but you can rest in the car. In Delhi it depends what time you get free. We will pick you from the place you stay in Delhi and drive you to station.

      TravelerWritten January 2023

      I was just wondering if there might me a day to favor for the trip in terms of crowded trains or places since it would be over the weekend.

    • Volunteering With IndiaOperatorWritten January 2023

      Your dates are perfect. You don't have to change. It's the same crowd everyday so it won't affect if you go on Monday or other days. Every day people looking to go there. You may go ahead with the original dates.
