    This turned out to be the trip of a lifetime for our family. Bout India organised everything, and the whole trip went very smoothly with no problems. Bout India were also able to tailor our trip to our specific needs, including adding extra days and destinations. I can’t praise them highly enough - a great travel company!

    It was our first trip to India and from start to finish we had a wonderful experience with Bout India. Communication was really easy via WhatsApp and the itinerary was tailored to everything we wanted to do. The local guides in each place were so knowledgable and friendly and took us to all the best spots. Our driver magically appeared whenever we were finished and on the move - really seamless coordination that made us feel looked after and safe. We couldn’t recommend the team highly enough and will certainly use them again for our next trip.

    I would very highly recommend this company. They are professional, friendly, and extremely helpful. We did a 5-day trip and they planned it for us from start to finish as we wanted it. Everything was seamless. The accommodations were great and our private vehicle had the most impressive driver, he took care of everything for us and was professional and friendly. We will most certainly use this company’s services in the future for our India tourism

    We enjoyed our trip to Kerala. My correspondence with the staff members (Nitesh & Geet) at Bout India have been excellent! Geet was our point of contact throughout our trip & she was exceptional in her role! She checked in on us every day to make sure everything ran smoothly. She also provided updates on what we should expect to see during each leg of our trip. She was responsive and a consummate professional. Our driver & guide (Mr. Jim Abraham) was polite, punctual, and an absolute delight during our 9 day trip. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend Bout India to family and friends if they wish to travel to the Indian Subcontinent. Thank You!

    Wow to Bout India!! I am well travelled and visited many countries, but I must say this is the best trip of my many trips. Nitesh at Bout India tailored the itinerary to suit us, it was seamlessly and perfectly planned. The highlight of our trip was our driver Manimaran he was our driver for the entire ten days trip, he is the best. We were touched by his kindness and he really made our trip a memorable and inspirational one. Chahat kept in touch with us every day to make sure all was well with us. KUDOS to Bout India!! Looking forward to working with them again very soon

    My boyfriend and I didn’t know what to expect when we planned a trip to India to attend a friends wedding. Bout India made our trip seamless and unforgettable from start to finish. From Akansha who carefully planned our Golden Triangle tour of North India and our day tours of Kerala, to Geet who made sure we always had a point of contact with someone from the company during the day to day, to our drivers, Mr. Singh and Jackson, the experience was unbelievable. The hotels and guides were amazing, and we feel so grateful that we were able to see this country from the eyes of such knowledgeable guides. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to explore India, and if we are ever lucky enough to return, we will know exactly who to contact!

    We decided to take a family trip to Kashmir and hired the services of Bout India. Bout India handled our entire tour in a highly professional manner. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and visits to various locations in the heavenly Kashmir. The house boat selection on Nagin Lake was fabulous. Our kids had a fantastic time in Pahalgam where we visited Aru Valley and spent time on the banks of the Lidder River. Horseback riding, trekking, and sight seeing with ample free time for us to enjoy togetherness. We then returned to Srinagar and took a day trip to Gulmarg. Everything was arranged in a highly professional manner by Bout India (Shout out to Chahat and her ground staff in Kashmir). We were so impressed with their organization, that on our way back, we let Bout India also organize our trip to Agra.

    The tour we booked was the God's Own Country 'Kerala' 6-night tour. We were coming directly from a 4-night, 4-star hotel tour of the North that was half the price so we were expecting at least the same experience. To be frank, we did not enjoy this itinerary. We were in places too long with nothing to do, and other places for far too short of time that had things to do. Our driver Murali picked us up at the airport with flowers. Overall, he was a very nice man, talkative, spoke good English, was always prompt, and pointed out points of interest and facts as we drove because you will spend more time without a guide in the car on this tour. Upon arrival, we drove directly to our homestay in Munnar. First, the family that owns and runs the homestay was lovely. They provided great service and breakfast and dinners were very good. However, the room was very basic, the location is in the middle of nowhere, there is not a lot that you can order for lunch, and the room had no air conditioning (it was 32+ every day). For the price of this tour we expected more. We had a lot of downtime in Munnar with nothing to do. Our favorite activity in Munnar was the trek through the tea plantation with an amazing guide, Shiva, who was super informative, spoke perfect English, and brought along a yummy breakfast. We then headed to Thekkady and did not arrive until around 3:00. Went to the Kathakali show that evening which was super cool. We stayed at The Elephant Court hotel which was the nicest hotel of the tour but were not even there 24 hours. That night we were told 4 different times for our itinerary the next day as we wanted to do the nature trek. After a lot of wrong information, we were finally told we would be picked up at 7:15 am and then rushed back to the hotel to pick up our bags to drive another 6 hrs to the next destination. We got to breakfast at 7:00, ate quickly, thank god because if we had not we would have trekked for 6 hours, been offered toast (I cannot eat gluten), and then drove another 6 hours without stopping. After the trek, we were pressured to hurry and check out because we were 'late even though they gave us an extension' - not our problem. So we took the fastest showers ever and drove 6 hours without stopping to Kollam. We wish we could have stayed longer in Thekkay. It looked like a cool town, there was an elephant and tiger sanctuary that we could not go to. In Kollam, the hotel was nice, but once again in the middle of nowhere. The next day was visiting the beach which would have been a great place to stay with different restaurants and things to do. Our last day/night was a houseboat in Alleppy. The crew on the boat were very nice and made us enough food for a family of six. The best part was the small boat ride through the narrow canals. The boat however was straight out of the 90s - not the picture we were shown in the itinerary. It was fine, but again for what we were paying we thought it would be a bit more updated. We were asked to give a video review of the tour before the tour was even over which was very strange. There was always too much communication about simple things and too little about bigger details. The tour company would call our driver and ask us questions about him right in front of him - very uncomfortable. We cannot recommend this tour due to all the above as well as the cost that does not reflect the experience in our opinion.

    Hi Jonica, Thank you for this detailed and candid review. To be honest, your feedback has come as a little bit of a surprise to us. We had assigned a dedicated tour manager (Miss Geetanshi) to you, who was in touch with you for the entire trip. The... Show more

    From the moment I was greeted at the airport, with a bunch of flowers, until the second I was dropped off at the airport I was treated like a king. Nothing was too much trouble and I really appreciated the daily contact from the office, plus the flexibility and on field suggestions as I toured the region. The hotels, various tours and activities were first rate. As were every member of staff.
