    The service that was provided by Yolo Tours was excellent and it is without any doubt that I would recommend this company.

    Booked the Footsteps of the Buddha tour with them. Communication with Amit prior to the trip is extremely efficient. During the trip, we had a driver and tour guide (which was more like an escort than a guide as he was unfamiliar with most of the places). The guide also spoke very limited english, which was disappointing. Also, though some of the places were quoted in the itinerary, we were asked to hire a local guide/transport once we were at that place (this was not mentioned in any communication prior to the trip). We had the impression that everything quoted in the itinerary would already been paid for and not that we have to fork out our own money once we were there. Towards the end of the trip, the guide also openly requested for tips!

    Me and my husband wanted to visit places related to Buddha but weren't sure how to do until we found this great tour. We had our private driver who was very friendly and had great experience doing this particular tour. All the hotels were comfortable and provided good breakfast. We had a great experience visiting the places we always wanted to visit. Highly recommend this tour for everyone.

    I am very happy with this tour. All the hotels were comfortable. Having one driver from start to finish was a great gift. Our driver Ramesh was very friendly and had been doing Buddha tour from long time. The itinerary takes you to the key destinations where Buddha lived and gave his sermons in his life. All the places visited are rural parts of India and this trip is a spiritual experience where you get ample time to understand Buddhism. I highly recommend this tour to everyone who has interest to know the Buddhism culture.
