    · October 11th, 2023
    It was an amazing adventure and a fantastic tour to remember. Our schedule was varied and extraordinary without any minute of boredom. Our driver always knew where to eat, buy the best clothes or have the best ayurvedic massage. We were even taken to an astrologer and received our personal horoscope, that was a very interesting experience and really unique. We just asked Paylesstoursindia manager to arrange an appointment and they knew right people who are really good at it. We want to thank all the team for caring for us and all the assistance provided really quickly. We're all really happy we chose Paylesstoursindia as our tour operator in India. Kind regards and many thanks

    That was a really wonderful tour that fully exceeded our expectations and that was thanks to organization and a great driver Bholu we went on a tour with. In spite of ongoing monsoon season we were able to do the sightseeing and took part in most of the attractions we asked the travel agent o include. Mr. Bholu as well as the travel agency manager looked after us really well and provided us with everything we needed so that we could feel pampered. We'll recommend their services to anyone who wants to visit India and we're thinking of the next tour with them too.

    Essence of India with our personal driver Bholu was an outstanding tour. We were all astonished by his driving skills that took us safely to all those incredible destination in the itinerary. The tour was very flexible and left some time for additional attractions that we included on our request like hot air balloon and stroll at the market in Jaipur. Paylesstoursindia employee Mrs Eve was in touch with us and always took care of our comfort and safety by sending some messages during the tour. We felt really well taken care of and satisfied with the total arrangements including hotels, fight time and attractions.

    I would have rated this tour excellent, for the most part it was great, except that the itinerary written and what happened on the ground sometimes did not match. The introduction stated tour highlights that indicated "lots of attractions included in the price," not so. For instance every place we went where there was an entrance fee, we paid. The company refused to pay the morning boat ride on the Ganges but covered the evening one. We understand that later in the Tour Radar description it was said monuments were not included. Certainly we could afford to pay, but it would have been much better if things were clearer. We were very disappointed that the itinerary was just wrong about our journey to Khajuraho. Our day train was changed to an overnight train which resulted in two straight overnight train journeys in a row. We were also displeased that our train tickets put us in berths far apart from each other. We reserved this tour more than two moths ahead and yet the tickets were bought at the last minute causing us to have third class accommodations not even close together for two overnight train rides of 12 hours. That is just not acceptable. On the other hand, we had a wonderful time. The places we saw were fantastic, our trip for the most part went smoothly, and the itinerary did pack in a lot of interesting sites in so few days. Any trip like this is dependent upon your driver/guide as there were just two of us tourists. Our guide, Mithun Sharma was excellent not only as a driver navigating the chaos that are Indian roads, but with his knowledge, his sense of humor, and his ability to show us a great time. We had Mithun for the first 12 days of our trip and the last day. We give him our highest praise and recommendation. He often went the extra mile to insure we had everything we needed. He played such a role In our enjoyment of India. Our complaints did not interfere with our enjoyment of our trip. We chose the tour for the places listed and they and the tour did not disappoint. I had been to India before and this trip only increased my wonder at such a great destination. I recommend the "Essence of India with Varanasi and tiger safari, domestic flights and train journey included," without hesitation. Make sure to ask for Mithun Sharma if he is availablle.
