- AAllen· April 30th, 2022The trip was well organized, we saw a lot of Buddhist places. We recommend Alkof Holidays to anyone who want to visit India. Thank You
Alkof Holidays commented on this reviewDear Allen, I hope you are doing well! Thanks for your valuable review and rating and thanks a lot for recommending us :) We hope to get the opportunity to assist you again on your future visit to India. Warm Regards, Team Alkof HolidaysTrip date: April 2022 - DDon· January 2nd, 2020This was a good tour. However, I would warn future travelers that this is not a fully escorted tour. You will have a driver (who may not may not be fluent in English) and then different local tour guides at each destination. I would also warn that you will spend A LOT of time in a car driving down very bumpy roads through the heart of India - this tour is not for the faint of heart! I am not sure that the company fully vetted the Buddhist Tour with Taj before we went on the trip, as we went to two different boarder crossing before being allowed into Nepal, and the two previous attempts were very unnerving when the military questioned us. Also, the driver did an amazing job, but it was clear that he had never done the trip before, because he stopped and asked strangers on the street to give him directions to the attractions on the itinerary. I feel like the tour company should have done a little more research, or set a full-time tour guide with us on this itinerary.Show moreAlkof Holidays commented on this reviewDear Donald, I hope you are doing well!
