- Oliver· July 30th, 2025We did a customised, shortened, version of this tour as a day trip in New Delhi. Manish and his team were sensational, really the best guides I have had in many years of travelling, looking to enrich and explain every detail of Humayun’s Tomb and the India Gate, followed by a lovely dinner recommendation. We really cannot recommend MTA enough, we will for sure come back for more!Show more
- Raffaele· July 25th, 2025Hands down, one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. I did a customized version of the Golden Triangle itinerary with MTA, and while the temples and palaces were stunning, the real highlight was Manish, our guide. He made the entire trip unforgettable. Not only does he speak perfect Italian (huge bonus for us!), but he’s also incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely fun to be around. You can tell how much he loves his country and how much joy he finds in sharing it with others. It never felt like a cookie-cutter tour—it felt like exploring India with a local friend who truly cares. From transport to accommodation, everything was smooth and well-organized. But it was Manish who brought every moment to life. He answered all our questions (even the weird ones!), helped us avoid tourist traps, and was always happy to tweak the plan to fit our pace and interests. If you’re thinking of booking with MTA on TourRadar—do it. You won’t regret it.Show more
- Mayu· July 7th, 2025A Journey to Remember – Tamil Nadu & Andaman Bliss Our recent trip to Tamil Nadu and the Andaman Islands was an unforgettable experience filled with beauty, culture, and peace. From the vibrant temples and traditions of Tamil Nadu to the breathtaking beaches and calm waters of the Andamans, every moment was perfectly planned and absolutely enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing guide Raj, who was incredibly helpful, calm, and kind throughout the journey – his presence truly made a difference. And a big thanks to MTA (My Tour Adviser) for arranging everything so smoothly; the entire trip was stress-free and full of joyful memories. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it and will treasure this journey for a lifetime!Show more
