  It was an amazing tour full of history and culture. All hotels were excellent but Castle Talabgaon was the best.

  Recently, I embarked on a remarkable journey with Swastik Journeys, and I can't help but share my incredible experience. Traveling solo, I was provided with what felt like my own private tour, meticulously organized and paced to perfection. The highlight of my adventure was undoubtedly the enchanting city of Jaipur, where the vibrant culture and historical beauty were brought to life in a way I never imagined possible. The expertise and warmth of the tour guides, from Anirut's depth of knowledge to Atal's insightful stories and Ali's engaging narratives, made each destination come alive in its unique way. Their professionalism and passion significantly enhanced my touring experience, making every moment memorable. The driving services provided by Lakan were exceptional; his skill, courtesy, and knowledge of the roads ensured that every journey was comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. It was like traveling with a local friend who knew all the right paths and timings, ensuring we avoided unnecessary delays or tourist traps. While the tour was filled with countless highlights, the accommodations provided throughout were of very high quality, shining with cleanliness and hospitality that made each stay comfortable and welcoming. However, I feel it's important to note that the castle stay didn't quite meet the same standards. Located in a more remote area, it lacked the special touch seen elsewhere in the tour, particularly as it was undergoing preparations for a wedding, leading to some disarray and diminishing the experience. Despite this, the overall experience with Swastik Journeys was a solid 10 out of 10. Their ability to provide a well-managed and expertly paced tour, combined with the selection of remarkable places and outstanding guides, left me thoroughly satisfied. While I would suggest revisiting the inclusion of the castle in the itinerary, I would not hesitate to book another tour with Swastik or recommend them to others seeking an authentic and enjoyable travel experience in India.

  Overall this was a fun and positive tour! Swastik was very helpful in creating a semi-custom tour and they were responsive the entire time. The drivers and guides were all incredibly friendly and helpful. Shout out to Yogesh! I'm so glad we had guidance the entire trip; it really eased the stress of planning and traveling (it was our first time in India). We did most everything in the itinerary except when we opted out or conditions were unfavorable. The only negative were some of the accommodations. The hotels were not the same as what was listed in the itinerary, which caused some confusion. Most of them were fine, but they were definitely all budget accommodations. I would have paid for an upgrade from 3 to 4 stars had I known what to expect from Indian hotels. Also, the tour guides dumped us at several high sale pressure shops. I know this is common, but after one or two of these luxury goods-type shops, I was a bit frustrated. Overall, I would recommend Swastik for budget travel and use them again.

  I had a great time on this trip. Me and my friend ended up being the only ones on the tour. All of the accommodations were great & they take you to really wonderful restaurants along the way. All of the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and took great pictures. I'd say the castle stay wasn't all that great. You're pretty isolated and there isn't much to do. The camel ride was very awkward as they basically parade you through an impoverished community and it feels very voyeuristic. Other than that, all of the experiences were wonderful.

  I thought it was a small group tour, but it ended up just being us. Our driver was fantastic - sharing his knowledge and experiebce and recommending restaurants where we wouldn't get sick. Just being us, there was some flexibility with the itinerary, e.g. When we didn't want to go in a museum. A few of the hotels were old and I'd probably recommend opting for the upgraded hotels.

  Overall the tour was excellent. The guides in each city we visited were knowledgeable, responsive to questions, and concerned for our safety. Our driver Prakash was with us for the full 10 days and deserves high praise for safely navigating through very difficult traffic, and being very responsive to our every request. Although there were a few “glitches” along the way (not unusual when traveling) Karni at Swastik responded quickly to fix the glitches and make things right. We really appreciated his interventions. We decided to upgrade the accommodations in Delhi and Agra after reviewing the original 3 star choice and very glad we did. The accommodations in the other cities we visited were fine. You might want to make sure you get a chance to review the accommodations ahead of time. All in all it was a fabulous trip. We didn’t even mind being taken to “shop” in every city. It did give us a chance to learn about some of the native hand crafts. One caution - we were originally scheduled to see the Taj Mahal on a Friday. But its closed on Friday so we had to adjust the itinerary and lost a day in. Delhi. I only discovered this by going onto the web site before we left for India. Review the itinerary closely before you go. This is something Swastik did not do.
