- Steven· March 15th, 2025We love Buddha so we visited all the Buddhist destinations in India and Nepal with Alkof holidays this February, and it was an amazing tour, the driver Mr. Pandey was very experienced and he knew all the routes, and all the key attractions. Our tour guide Avinash was very knowledgeable, and he told many things about each destination we visited. All the hotels provided were very good, staff were very nice, and Sanjeev from there office in Delhi helped us a lot in customizing the tour to our need. He is very experienced in Buddhis tour, even he met us in Lumbini when we arrived, he came there with a group also doing the same tour. I can recommend this tour to anybody looking to visit India. Just 1 thing you should remember is that we spend around 4 to 5 hrs on immigration from India to Nepal, and approx same time coming back, because there were many people before us, but alkof helped us everywhere and it was a very smooth journey. Thank you again.Show more
- Irina· March 13th, 2025AlkofHolidays are true professionals of their job, they can meet and exceed the expectations of tourists seeking very different experiences. We preferred Buddist Pilgrimage and visited main 8 destinations connected to Budda's life, including Lumbini, Shravasti, Bodhgaya, Sarnatkh, Sankassa, Vaishali and Kushinagar. Tour assistant Sanjeev Kumar was extremely helpful, trying to fulfill all our requests regarding tour itinerary, and very thoutful and caring throughout our tour. Bus driver Shyambir along with his assistant Pawan were also very pleasant, the bus was always clean and neat. Altoghether the crew was very prepared and they knew every single detail about Buddist pilgrimage itinerary. It is also worth mentioning that they surprised us with greeting and farewell presents. Highly recommend Alkofholidays for India tour as well as their other destinations.Show more
