- Kevin· February 1st, 2023Booked the Footsteps of the Buddha tour with them. Communication with Amit prior to the trip is extremely efficient. During the trip, we had a driver and tour guide (which was more like an escort than a guide as he was unfamiliar with most of the places). The guide also spoke very limited english, which was disappointing. Also, though some of the places were quoted in the itinerary, we were asked to hire a local guide/transport once we were at that place (this was not mentioned in any communication prior to the trip). We had the impression that everything quoted in the itinerary would already been paid for and not that we have to fork out our own money once we were there. Towards the end of the trip, the guide also openly requested for tips!Show moreYolo India Tours commented on this reviewDear Valued Guest, Thank you very much for taking time to review us.

- MLMartin· July 2nd, 2019Me and my husband wanted to visit places related to Buddha but weren't sure how to do until we found this great tour. We had our private driver who was very friendly and had great experience doing this particular tour. All the hotels were comfortable and provided good breakfast.

Highly recommend this tour for everyone.Show moreYolo India Tours commented on this reviewDear Martin Linda, Thank you very much for your kind review.

- ESEthan· March 1st, 2019I am very happy with this tour. All the hotels were comfortable. Having one driver from start to finish was a great gift. Our driver Ramesh was very friendly and had been doing Buddha tour from long time. The itinerary takes you to the key destinations where Buddha lived and gave his sermons in his life. All the places visited are rural parts of India and this trip is a spiritual experience where you get ample time to understand Buddhism. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who has interest to know the Buddhism culture.Show moreYolo India Tours commented on this reviewDear Ethan Scott, Thank you very much for being our first reviewer of this beautiful spiritual tour.

Traveler•Written June 2023How do I know when & what time schedule to book the domestic flights for the tour? Any suggestions flights schedule??
- Yolo India ToursOperator•Written July 2023
International and domestic flights you have to book it by yourself. You have to book your international flight to Delhi and domestic flight Delhi to Lucknow for next day.
- Yolo India ToursOperator•Written July 2023
Please book Air India Flight. AI 431 at 12:20 Hrs from Delhi and Arrive Lucknow at 13:30 Hrs. Better to book tickets in advance as last-minute availability is subject to change and air fare also getting very expensive.
