Best organized, excellent driver and guides

From start to finish the tour was brilliant. The hotels, the guides were very good. Our driver was excellent. Would recommend, good value for the price.

This tour to Leh was fantastic! Each day brought new history and beauty. Our guide was well-informed and shared deep insights. The driver handled the mountain roads with ease. The hotels were good. A well-rounded, unforgettable experience.

Leh was incredible! Its a unique culture and history made it unforgettable. Guides were knowledgeable and the driver was excellent through tough roads. The hotels were clean and comfortable. The trip perfect for history, culture, and adventure. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Ladakh!

"I booked a tour to Shimla Manali with my 3 friends. The booking process was simple and the whole tour was explained to us properly. Our tour driver and guide was prakash .Our driver and guide was incredibly knowledgeable and saw that the tour program was scheduled and on time and he has very good driving skills on all hilly roads.We learned about history, art, culture, and much more. The scenery was beautiful. We had a lot of fun at Rohtang Pass, ziplining, ropeway riding, and river rafting. We enjoyed the cultural show that Payless arranged at the end of the tour. We were happy with all the arrangements and proper care was taken of us. I would like to thank Prakash for being a wonderful driver cum guide because of whom we had a fantastic trip. This is my 2nd trip with Payless tour looking forward to more.And at the last thanks.

The best experience of my life. The homestay was by far my highlight of my trip. Prakash was an amazing, informative tour guide with the best sense of humour. Amazing hotels with good local cuisine. I highly recommend this company and will be back for sure !

Excellent value. Nice accomodations knowledgable local. Well organized with A/C private car. Excellent driver (yoi definetely neef one in India) who took great care og us. .

The tour was very good. I loved the hotels especially bristol hotel. I think all meals and everything should be included. Was a little upset that i had to stand up for that. All entries into all things we visited for sure should be added with out having to insist on it. The tour guides were very good and helpful and made my trip very nice and cab driver was very nice (wish he spoke more english but he was very kind and nice)

I wish we’d been told that the 12 year big festival was this year. We didn’t know and scheduled the spiritual tour. Traffic was much more than normal I’m sure. Our driver Jay was SUPER EXCEPTIONAL making his way through impossible situations. He didn’t speak English but we understood each other enough. We were also left off in some places without a guide. Some places we stayed were better than others of course. I don’t think I’d use their services again. We might have changed to a golden triangle tour if MTA had paid more attention to our needs. We are fairly old, and needed better advice.

Trip was good, motel were average

Pema was an amazing guide! The all inclusiveness of this trip from a world religions and history perspective was wonderful! Make sure while in Kolkata to go to the Mother Teresa Ministry of Charity house--a don't miss. Also, make sure to include the Shemla History Museum--a wonderful museum for the Independence of India,

Bodh Gayá and Varanasi. Both were special places, and seeing Varanasi in both the evening and at dawn made my trip.

I had an unforgettable experience with Exploria on my tour to Hunza, Skardu, and Naltar Valley in October 2024 with my family! The entire trip was phenomenal, thanks to their amazing team, especially our guide Asif, a local who made the journey even more special with his knowledge and hospitality. One of the highlights was the complimentary musical night in Hunza, which was an absolute blast and truly captured the spirit of the region. The hotels we stayed at were top-notch, offering comfort and great service. A huge shoutout to our driver, Rahman, who was always on time, helpful, and made us feel safe throughout the trip. Highly recommend Exploria for anyone looking to explore this beautiful region!

When we shared with family & friends in Singapore our plans to visit Pakistan, first question - is it safe? Second, is it convenient & reliable to travel there? So in retrospect, my wife & I were so glad and grateful we engaged Exploria for our 10 days introduction to Gilgit-Baltistan & Islamabad. Exploria checked all the right boxes, and then some. The flexible & all-encompassing itinerary, the well chosen accommodations, the comfort of travel provided despite the long distances, the sumptuous meals served, all pointed to one thing - The meticulous planning, comprehensive local knowledge & professional dedication of the Exploria team. Special shoutout to Mr Ajmal who planned our trip well & Mr Rashid - our guide & trusted traveling companion. We highly recommend for everyone to include Northern Pakistan on the bucket list. Having been to Swiss ourselves, we believe the mountains, lakes & valleys that Gilgit-Baltistan have to offer are on par, if not superior. Definitely the mountains are much taller. Just need to add cable cars to the summit. We took lots of photos of the wonderful sceneries during our 10-day travels, and fondly look back at them. One thing we realized, it can never do justice compared to seeing it with our own eyes. And the photos could never capture the warmth, sincerity & hospitality of the locals who crossed our path.

It has been great adventure on this tour we are highly impressed with all services that we received during the tour all hotels were great and neat nd clean. Driver deep Chand was fantastic! Thank you so much for great care of us

What a amazing tour of India we all had ! All guides and driver were really amazing people and we liked all hotels we are happy with all services provided by company

Fantastic journey. Great driver Monu and great tour guides. Perfect locations and well planned destinations

Everything went as planned. The driver was excellent and all the tour guides very good. Everyone was on-time and worked hard to make sure our stay in India was great.

I had an amazing time on this trip. My driver was responsible and professional as well as a good sense of humour and personality. Shimla is a magical hidden treasure that was just BEAUTIFUL. McLeod Ganj was also just GORGEOUS. I was actually EXTREMEMLY lucky that on 25th December the Dalai Lama was giving a special ceremony and I got to see him. The hotels along this trip were all great. God rooms,

The destinations over 6 nights in the Indian Himalaya states were terrific - Shimla and Dharamshala, even Garli, plus a stop in Chandigarh on the way back to Delhi - fascinating places and two guides, one better than the other plus a very attentive and good driver, in a sea of driving madness on Indian roads. Accommodation was excellent - hotels rooms were very good quality as was the food available. Some of us do partake of alcoholic beverages like beer and wine and this was lacking in most places but not a big problem.

Overall Delhi, Agra and Jaipur's trip with Haridwar was excellent. The car was nice (Toyota Innova) and in good condition. Our driver Jasvir Singh, in particular, was excellent, courteous and helpful.The tour was a little flexible so we could adjust the amount of time at the attractions or even add or skip a place. There was no pressure for anything anywhere. My family enjoyed the trip. The guides were good and typically ready at the attractions by the time we reach. The tour exceeded our expectations. All the places are beautiful or as expected. We would certainly go to India again. If you are going to India for the first time, then do your research about the places and about traveling in India, like we did, so you are not disappointed,The hotels were great. We reached everywhere on time.

I really enjoyed everything about this trip done so much at a good pace. Some hotels were a let down especially the one in dharamasala. No hot water to shower toilet leaking room damp pretty bleak

Good itinerary lots of new sights and experiences. Excellent guide
