- M· June 12th, 2025You promised the trip of a lifetime and delivered. Amazing, very organized but flexible also. Nearly each and every location we were taken had been on my list to visit for dozens of years. Driver Brajess Kumar (BK) was amazing. Probably the most skilled driver in India, very courteous, generous with extra drinks paid out of his pocket, offers of short stops, amenable to extra bathroom breaks, always on time even for 5:15 morning pickups, positive attitude, superior navigation skills. We loved all of our guides too. Bhavani Singh at Qutb Minar, Chandi Chowk, etc. in Delhi, Deepak at Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, Lucky at Fathepur Sikri; Brajess (BK) got us a guide at spur of moment at Abanheri Chand Boari stepwell and nearby temple; Amit at Jaipur with Amber Fort, Jantar Mantar - brought us to where we could walk w/elephants, Jodhpur with Sonny at Rao Jodh Fort, textile shopping: Ajai-Hindu priest at Pushkar Brahma temple and lake; BK did his best to get us to Ranakpur before closing to foreigners - we were able to tour the main temple - amazing! Udaipur with Pushkar: wonderful old temples, boat ride; flight to Mumbai met by Imrahn - nice visit to Mani Bhawan museum; fly to Aurangabad with very knowledgeable Sanjay for incredible Ajanta then Ellora then plane ride back to Mumbai. Stupendous memories I will never forget. From the USA, thank you to MTA and to India for treating us visitors so well. -- Michael Polka and famiilyShow more
- Marion· April 7th, 2025The tour itinerary was very good it covered all of the main sites. Pick ups and transfers were seamlessly and communication was good.Show more
- Murat· April 24th, 2025It was a very fulfilling trip. We had no issues anywhere, all went smoothly. Our driver and guide Sayeed was a real pro, seems like he knew every single person in Oman. Good company and good driver too. Although we were somewhat knowledgeable about the country, it was still better than what we had hoped for. Wonderful and friendly people, nice clean cities and towns, hotel accommodations very satisfactory, unique country and diverse culture. It was all very worth it. Would not change much if we were to do over.Show more
