    A great introduction tour for the first timer of India! I am glad that I did this tour instead of just traveling by myself figuring out all the logistics as I go. Without the tour, I would have had some difficulties navigating myself and moving to the next destinations as well as understanding the culture of India and its safety. I cannot say thank you enough to my driver, Prakash. He speaks English, is kind, caring and trying to make me feel comfortable and safe all the time during the trip. I learned a lot about Indian and Hindu culture from him! 100% recommendation to have him as a driver for your trip! He is more than just a driver! The tour itself is well organized and followed the itinerary posted on the Tourrader most of the time. “Payless Tours India “ is trustful and reliable company. I highly recommend it to your Indian journey. However there were some minor things that I did not feel comfortable about. I did not expect to visit many specialized shops during the local tours, so I became stressed out going there to say “No” to their bargains although I was interested in learning about it. Sadly I found out that’s I got a different material for high price in later days….. For the hotels, they provided 3 star hotels where the staffs are all nice and helpful, but wifi is sometimes not available in the rooms. No heater at all the hotels in December. Not sure if it’s Indian standard without heating or not though, but I got sick from the coldness. Anyway, other than that, again it's a great tour!

    We booked out hotels ourselves so I will not comment on that other than to say we were disappointed that Payless tours would not reflect this in the price we paid. Our driver Anil Kumar for the 11 days was excellent. The guides were all very good and in particular I mention Hardeep who was our guide in Delhi who was excellent. The driver who collected us in Delhi on 6th November ( Bholu) was so helpful and arranged transport for us on the following day for our onward travels outside of the tour. I would appreciate this feedback being passed on to Payless tours.

    Can highly recommend Payless Tours India. The whole process from the beginning was straightforward while dealing Neeraj . He was extremely experienced in customer service. Our driver for the 14 days...Sanjay was an absolute pleasure to be with. He was always on time and available for any needs. I'll be booking again in future.

    Our experience with Payless Tours far exceeded my expectations. They worked with us to modify our trip to personalize it. Traveling with a private driver offered us flexibility, convenience, and the air conditioned car was a comfortable way to explore our stops. We were lucky and able to experience two separate drivers Prakash and Mithun. Both were great drivers, spoke great english and fun to travel with. Highly recommend a trip to India. All the hotels we stayed at exceeded my expectations with the cleanliness, tasty food and friendly staff.

    I must say that the tour was perfectly arranged and organised from the beginning till the end. Paylesstoursindia took car of us at each step, the driver Monu looked after our needs and safety in the best possible way, Mrs Ewa sent to us lots of messages to make sure we were satisfied or something wasn't skipped. The tour was successful and one of the most important things is we arrived back home without any Belly Delhi. We'll recommend this fantastic tour operator to our friends.

    I will never forget this experience. from ancient temples, to divine food, ethereal forts, the ghats of Varanasi, and tigers in the jungle. This trip had absolutely everything I was hoping for and more. Payless were incredibly flexible and able to basically tailor the trip to my rather niche interests, including the particular hotels I wanted to stay in. I want to make special mention of my driver, Mr Prakash (translation: Mr Sunshine) who was more of a father to me during this period than a driver. He put up with my foibles with patience and went above and beyond in every way to make sure that I was comfortable and happy. One example is that my particular booking did not have any kind of Safari included, but it took nothing more than a passing comment of mine about a desire to see tigers for Mr Prakash to organise a trip to the jungle on one of the mornings without needing to sacrifice any of the other activities. When I mentioned my interest in Indian classical music, he took me to a tourist-less evening at a temple where locals were celebrating Maha Shivaratri . The examples are countless. His creativity, kindness and generosity I cannot praise enough. A wonderful, wonderful man.

    We traveled to India for the first time to see and experience India in the best possible way. Thanks to this extremally responsive and helpful help and support, our journey was really successful. Both a super friendly driver, hotels and the itinerary were great. Sony went out of his way to show us all the most interesting places on our way, some of them weren't included in the itinerary. Driving with him was pleasure despite long driving to a few destinations which we consider to be an extra opportunity for local life observation and taking photos. We stopped lots of times in order to take a click of something interesting on the way like a wedding orchestra or a walking elephant. Absolutely gorgeous experience being able to see all those things happening just by the street or a highway. The contact with the paylesstoursindia management was smooth and always very friendly.

    I congratulate Tour Radar and its partner Payless Tours for an excellent trip around the Golden Triangle and beyond in India that concluded today. I thank you for making my first trip to India full of new experiences and very memorable indeed. Having a private car rather than being part of a group, I was a bit concerned at first about being lonely but, travelling alone made the trip so much easier and we were able to make the very best use of the time across the 11 days. It was also easier to vary some things, stop occasionally to take photos that particularly appealed etc. and the extra flexibility that was possible really added to my enjoyment. And of course I wasn’t alone as such - I had Muthin, my driver, and various, excellent guides in key locations. I must make special mention of Muthin who was excellent company, personable, flexible and very helpful in drawing on all his experience in offering advice and keeping me safe throughout the trip. Thank you again Muthin. My thanks also to all the guides who added a lot to my enjoyment and understanding of the places we visited. Thank you all again. I would not hesitate to recommend both Tour Radar and Payless Tours to those who want well planned and co-ordinated travelling experiences.
