Miguel and Honie from USA. Private India Tour Review.
We booked a cruise to take us to India, Mumbai to be exact.
Actually we landed in Cochin first, and probably should’ve done things differently, but we didn’t.
Our main objective for visiting India was to visit the Taj Mahal, the last of the Seven Wonders of the World, missing from our bucket list.
We are lucky that we had done all the others. The task was not easy. Celebrity cruises did offer such tour, but their cost seemed outrageous to us, so we set out to find a lower cost alternative. We reached out to a number of Indian friends of ours, looking for contacts or recommendations. In the end we resorted to searching the web for an agency with a great reputation and stellar reviews; fortunately for us we found such an agency in Times India Travels.
We reached out to them, and established contact with Vijay, its proprietor. We conducted many WhatsApp calls with him, detailing what we wanted to see & asking for his feedback on what else we should see. Finally we reached a plan.
It included picking us up from our ship, taking us to Mumbai Airport. Providing us with flight reservations to Agra, a chofer & a guide. Pickup from Agra Airport, a stay at a 4+ stars hotel, for our visit to the Taj Mahal & the Red Fort, and for transportation to New Delhi.
Provided for a guide to meet us upon our arrival in New Delhi and for our tour of some of the sites of that city.
I need to elaborate on the guided tour to the Taj Mahal. We were very fortunate to have a guide that is a PhD in History as well as in English. Tour Pricing was excellent, we paid less for both of us, than it would’ve cost for one, through Celebrity.
Vijay was a pleasure to deal with. Always available, on top of all the details, following up on every step along the way. He promised satisfaction and certainty delivered an unforgettable experience!
We highly recommend his agency!
