    Our overall experience from the beginning till the end totally great. Mr. Bholu took great care of us during all the tour and the manager was in a constant touch with us. We felt safe and really enjoyed sightseeing of all those cities and towns. The guides in most of the places were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. We loved Taj Mahal, Varanasi morning boat ride and Kathmandu flight. All those moments with our driver stayed in our memories and we'll recommend this tour operator to our friends.

    Our tour through ndia and Nepal was simply awsome and lived up to our expectations in every aspect. Safety was one of the most importants factors for us and the tour team did their best to make us feel comfortable and safe. Accommodation in all the hotels was really good and met our standards. Beds were big enough and spacious with a good selection of dishes for brekfast. Nobody felt during and after the tour, our India tour leader always knew where to stop for lunch or dinner. Safari and other additional attractions were all worth adding to the package tour attractions, we loved Chitwan safari, Nagarkot trekking most. Our overall experience was really fantastic and we'll travel with Paylesstoursindia again.

    Marvelous 'tailor made tour' which Payless tours india customized for our family. It'd always been our dream to visit India and it came true. We asked to include some special attractions for us such as hot air balloon ride in Jaipur, a mini heli ride in Pokhara and early morning trekking in the forest of Chitwan Park, where we had a chance to see plenty of rhinos from close up. We all had great memories about this excellent tour and can't imagine this tour without our friend - the Paylesstoursindia driver Mr.Mithun who went out of his way to make us happy and feel safe Direct contact with the manager of Paylesstoursindia was precious and deserves 5 star rating. We felt pampered, really well taken care and most of all safe. We can't thank you enough. BR
