    This tour covered many, many fascinating sites. A lot of time is spent on the road as travelling is fairly slow going (sheer traffic within the cities and the ubiquitous cattle across the whole area including highways). We had the absolute best driver anyone could wish for. Rampal was wonderful, ensuring we always had bottled water, comfort breaks and he took pride in his spotless, comfortable vehicle. I felt safe the entire time.

    We had a 12 day trip with joyful holidays and they could not have been more helpful. They adjusted the schedule to suit us which was fantastic, it made the whole trip flow so easily, Sonya the owner was intouch frequently which made us feel so comfortable. Suresh our driver was fantastic he would stop anywhere we wanted and answered all our questions in extremely good English. A very nice touch was water and snacks provided in the car which was almost brand new and so comfortable Overall I would recommend this type of trip to anyone looking to explore Rajasthan thanks very much guys until next time
