    What a fabulous tour of India! Ashu perfectly organized our dream tour for two people, including the highlights of Delhi, Varanasi, the Taj Mahal, and Rajasthan, as well as a relaxing stay in Goa. He arranged the tour according to our wishes and additional requests within three days. Despite the time difference, he responded to our inquiries within a few hours. We had never experienced anything like that before. Although he was not physically present during the trip, he was always available by phone or WhatsApp. When I fell ill, he organized a doctor for me. We traveled by plane, train (first class), and car. Every day, a driver picked us up from the airport, train station, or hotel and chauffeured us to the day's highlights. A tour guide accompanied us and explained the sights in English or German. We were allowed to visit a tourist shop for local handicrafts at each location, although this was not always desired. Some drivers accompanied us for several days, spending the night at our destination so they could drive us back to the train station or airport the next day. This could be optimized by arranging these short transfers locally. The organization of the trip was great. We didn't have to worry about anything; everything worked out wonderfully. The hotels were as requested, and the pickup service was always on time, no matter the time. The tour guides provided insight into the history of this great country and its impressive culture, sharing many facts about the impressive sights. Thanks to Ashu's constant availability, we always felt in good hands in this strange country. It was an unforgettable trip!

    The service was excellent. Communication was great. Vehicle was comfortable.Driver was good as well. But hotels in Delhi and Jodhpur were not good at all and we had a bit of struggle there. Better check the hotel reviews and their location before booking. Jaislamer haveli stay was the best. Jaipur and Agra hotels were also good.Overall our family enjoyed the trip. Thank you TourRadar and TTI tours.

    The tour was well organised with registered guides and a flexible journey. Ashu the agent I dealt with was responsive and available seemingly 24/7. He checked in with me at every handover point and took any requests into consideration.

    Colleen

    Asked on July 27th, 2023

    After the tour, we want to spend some days in Goa. Can you recommend any beach hotel at reasonable prices (3-star incl. breakfast)? for 3 to 4 nights? About booking, we would like to wait a bit. Do you think, prices might go down? How about a transfer from Huballi to Goa? Or is it better to take the public bus?

    • TTI TOURSOperatorWritten July 2023

      We have many good hotels right on the beaches of Goa. Prices depend on travel dates as January and February are peak tourist season. Private car transfers can be arranged. Train is running on alternate days (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday) departing at 0900 Hours from Hubli and reaching Goa at 1420 Hours. Local bus departs daily at 0430 Hours and reaches Goa at 0800 Hours.

    Carlos

    Asked on April 4th, 2023

    Is it possible to have a room for 3 travellers? To avoid paying single supplement

    Accommodation
    Single supplement
    • TTI TOURSOperatorWritten April 2023

      Now for 3 travellers we have understood that all 3 pax want to stay in one room only and do not want to pay single room cost. So we can give only 1 room - as 1 double room with extra bed for all 3 travellers.
