Things to do in  India

That was a nice experience with Mumbai. Sahil made our tour so informative and interesting. He is knowledgeable in every site we visited. He made sure that there is something interesting and special on one site why he brought us there. Surely, I would recommend Sahil and his company to my friends who would like to visit mumbai, india as well.

Excellent way to see and experience many of the historic areas of India. Great Tour Guides who are knowledgeable and speak English very well.

Mr. Manoj was an excellent tour guide who spoke great English and was knowledgeable and friendly. He also took great photos! The entire tour experience was seamless and stayed on schedule. This tour was the highlight of my trip to India and I would highly recommend it.

My daughters and I did the block printing class. We had the best time and left with beautiful scarfs and totes. It was fun to see how our different personalities were expressed in our art. The class was perfect and I’d recommend it while in Jaipur. The traditional lunch was also one of the best meals I’ve had in India!

I spent a most informative and enjoyable day with Kamram and Jarad(the Driver). The tour started on a great note with their timely arrival to pick me up at my guest house. Kamram is passionate about history and that made the day so enjoyable as well as informative. We saw every significant historical site in such a leisurely way. I felt that I could take all the time I wanted in every setting… Even sitting to enjoy the chanting at the Sikh temple. The tour included a delicious lunch And a really fun ride in a rickshaw. Kamram is an excellent photographer, his English is great, he added so many thoughtful details. He even brought me to an Indian national arts center where I was able to buy the most exquisite clothing. I never could have understood the significance of what I was seeing, or seen so much in one day. After each site that we visited, Jared was there with the cool air conditioned taxi happy to take us to our next stop.

Salamat organized the tour very well and Farid was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable with all of the history of the three places and the sites were obviously stunning. I would highly recommend this tour as there a few extra surprises. Additionally as a solo female traveler, they made me feel very comfortable. It’s sad to see not as many tourists in India and there’s just so much to see - go visit!

We had a great time. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and also quite flexible with any small changes we needed to make to the day’s itinerary. I went with my partner and this tour was perfect for us. We saw so many attractions and monuments but also had plenty of down time to relax at the end of the day. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting India for the first time!

Amit and his team seamlessly coordinated all the travel details and delivered an AMAZING travel experience. This 4-day tour was planned perfectly covering all the major attractions and leaving time for relaxation as well. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting India for the first time! Our driver (Ashok) was awesome - punctual, courteous and accommodating to our requests along the way. We had different guides (Naresh in Delhi, Ashok in Agra and Kamal in Jaipur) during the tour and all of them were very knowledgeable and wonderful photographers - they knew all the spots and angles to take the most stunning pictures. My family and I had the best time on this trip and will cherish the memories forever thanks to this team!

Our driver, Naval, was very skilled on the road. I cannot imagine trying to drive in India, but it was quite nice, he would even point out thing to see as we picked up our guide & as he dropped us back off at our hotel. Our guide was Sunil Poddar & he was very knowledgeable about the various sites. He also gave kind advice & was very patient if we did not understand something. Even when I spent far too long drooling over the various handicrafts at India Loom, Sunil was in no rush & made sure we saw everything we wanted to. Both Sunil & Naval were wonderful to share the day with, I certainly recommend them for your tour of Old & New Delhi. My only complaint is that it was rather difficult to find how to leave this review on viator as it was only available through the mobile app and not online. Even when i googled my results said i couldnt leave a review on viator abd instead i should on trip advisor...

This was our first activity after arriving in Delhi and we only had the one chance as we arrived on a Wed, Taj Mahal is closed Fri, and we departed Sat. My wife repeatedly said how she felt spoiled throughout and that it was worth whatever I spent. Everyone we communicated with was very kind and helpful. Amrit got all of bookings scheduled and kept in touch before and during our trip. Bhupi, our driver in Delhi, was very prompt and kind. He was nice to talk with and provided true door to door service. Prabhat, our guide in Agra, is very proud of his city and wants to show it off. He is experienced at getting his guests through all of the bottlenecks. He is clearly known around town as he greeted many other people we encountered during the day. I forget the driver’s name in Agra, but we was also polite and ready with cold water everyone he magically appeared as we approached the street. He also made sure we got on our return train okay. The train rides were comfortable and included expedient food service. The Taj is gorgeous and truly a wonder to see in person. The Agra Fort is so expansive. The buffet lunch at the hotel was a good spread with extremely sweet desserts. As a smaller group during a less busy season, we also had time to view local marble and rug artisans at the end of the day. Overall, highly recommend for your touring needs in India.

Jaipur is a beautiful place to visit in India and this tour definitely covered all there is to see. The tour guide and driver that was provided to us (Arun and Ram Singhe) was very good, kind, flexible, accomodating and spoke very good English! Amber fort (Sheesh Mahal) and City Palace is definitely the most interesting and memorable place we visited. Our guide Arun was very knowledgeable and passionate about the rich history of Pink City and shared the stories of the ancient times in a very interesting manner. We are very happy with the service provided and recommend and look forward to visiting other parts of India in the future!

Khalil, my driver, was just the absolute best. He was so accommodating and would always check to see if I needed anything during the long drive. He was very prompt to pick me up, and he made me feel safe and secure - especially as a solo, female traveller. Once we reached Jaipur, my guide Raj was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer every little question I had. He gave me so many hints and tips about travelling solo in India, and he added many extra stops around Jaipur to see how certain handicrafts were made etc. He was very flexible and adapted to my needs on the day, and if there was something I didn’t want to see inside, he was absolutely fine with that. Honestly was one of the best and friendliest trips I’ve done in India so far, and I wanted to give a huge thank you to both Khalil and Raj for a great day trip!

This was a great tour! Everything was professional and on time. Cannot say enough about our guide, Fared. Outstanding!!!!! Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing it. Our driver in Agra, Chand, always right there whe we needed him. And the train- worth it! Shortened the drive time tremendously so we were able to see more in Agra. We were shown our seats on both ends so we had no concerns the entire trip! Lunch? Amazing as well. LOTS of very good quality Indian food amd Fared was eager to order what we wanted.

From start to finish there were no problems. I was highly impressed & this tour exceeded my expectations. It is a great way to see the golden triangle tour. The driver Ajay was waiting at the airport at 7 am. Ajay did an excellent job. He was very punctual, a safe driver and felt like my personal bodyguard. I appreciate his hard work. We had three local tour guides, one for each city & the same driver for the entire four days. All the tour guides were brilliant, really friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. We enjoyed all three city’s Monuments specially “ SUNRISE TAJMAHAL” with Local tour Guide Asif. The tour operator was PERFECT AGRA TOURS, we had so much fun with them we would not hesitate to use them again and recommendation to any friends or family members visiting India in the future. Thank you Mr. Ashish Gupta 🙏

This was one of my favorite experiences in Varanasi - peaceful and beautiful moments on the historical Ganges. The photos and memories are amazing. The guide, Indrajeet Kumar, was professional and personable. He educated about the ghats and the significance of the Ganges and Varanasi in Indian culture. His stories helped bring the experience to life. He gave helpful advice about other activities and experiences too. I particularly liked the row boat over a motor boat - I was able to see the entire stretch of ghats from different views. The communication and pick up / drop off was superb. I highly recommend - don’t miss this experience!

I thought I might be jet-lagged and that, even if I weren't, I might struggle to navigate Mumbai, never having been to India before. I also wanted to get a good overview of the city. I thought a tour would address all these things. I researched the tours on Tripadvisor and elsewhere, looking in detail at the reviews. I discounted reviews complaining about things beyond operator control, such as the weather. I gave extra points for tour operators who followed up on comments. It seems that some operators write bad reviews on their competitors, so give credence when an operator says that someone wasn't on one of their tours. On this basis I picked World of Bollywood India Tours' Best of Mumbai tour. I had a really great time! Tiger, my guide, came into the lobby of my hotel to fetch me. He was very punctual. The car was waiting outside with the driver. Key point: from reading reviews, not all tours have a separate guide and driver, which will greatly affect the quality of the tour. The driver was calm and careful. He drove skillfully through many heinous situations. He was able to drop Tiger and myself off at each destination and pick us up later if parking was not available. This made us a lot more efficient. The car was comfortable, with AC and water bottles. We wore masks. Tiger got out at every stop and was very knowledgeable. He showed me videos as we were driving to give me a bit of extra information. He took the time to look up extra data on some of my more obscure questions. Between stops he pointed out interesting sights. He was very sociable and gave me insights into everyday life in Mumbai, so I got to learn a little bit about the people of the city in addition to the sights. He was very patient, so I had plenty of time. I asked to see certain things and he figured out how to fit them in. I would say I got as comprehensive a day-tour of the city as you could ask for. At lunch we went to a restaurant (Tiger gave me a choice) that was not a typical tourist place. They didn't speak English there, for example. We had a delicious meal that I can't imagine I would have discovered on my own. I'm uploading a photo of us at the table. The owner of the company called me up in the middle of the tour to see how I was enjoying it, and also as we were wrapping up, to see if I'd had a good day. I thought that was a really nice touch. He also sent me the pictures that Tiger had taken of our trip along the way. Tiger used my phone to take pics too. Like I say, fabulous, tailored to me, personal, great value. They made sure I had a good time. I liked it so much that I booked another tour with them later in the trip. Thank you World of Bollywood India Tours!

Getting to hang out with Mr. Tahir Khan was an amazing experience. He was able to answer all the questions I had, and show me the sites in Agra in what can feel like a short day between the train rides (I wish I had more time there to spend!). The tour is a bit fast-paced, so if you want to see and experience more make sure you spend the night in Agra or have additional time. You can also get professional photos at the Taj Mahal which was a nice experience and takes 20-25 minutes because once complete I no longer had to worry about the 'perfect' photo and could just enjoy it. We were also able to make a stop at the Marble Shop where I got some very unique souvenirs unlike anything you will find in a traditional gift shop with basic items. I felt quite bad because I was jetlagged and overslept which NEVER happens but the driver Fazil was very patient, polite, and made the effort to get in touch with me and I was able to make the train. The whole time with the driver and Mr. Tahir I felt like a close friend and brother and shared each others life story during breaks and stops. The lunch at the hotel is very quite good even though I needed Mr. Tahir's help in remembering the names of the Indian food! I was only in India for 3 days and now I very much want to return and would love to re-visit! It is a very personal journey with these individuals and I can also say I felt safe the entire time - I felt very much relaxed travelling around India without worry.

Before the course I was contacted by Shalini and I received a PDF with the recipes. We also had contact online and I was helped finding the correct ingredients. Everything was very well organised. Shalini speaks very good english and the cooking was a lot of fun. The instructions were given step by step and the whole experience was adjusted to my own speed and my electric cooker. We made two dishes, mixed lentils and Chana Masala. Both are delicious and can easily be cooked by a beginner. I can fully recommend this course and would book again to learn another dish and to learn more about the indian culture.

Just finished an extremely enjoyable and memorable whirlwind tour of North India -- Delhi, Jaipur, Ranthambore, Fatehpur Sikri and Agra -- in five days! This tour is an excellent option for people who only have a compressed timescale and want to do as much tourism as possible in a short timeframe. You get your own comfortable vehicle with driver who will take you from one point on your itinerary to another. The driver was very friendly, helpful and accommodative to all our needs as he drove us from one city to another. In each city we got our own knowledgeable, english-speaking tour guide who would show us the points of interest that we wanted to see. At every stop we appreciated the fact that our tour guides knew the fastest ways of getting us past the crowds and in and out of the attractions. We also appreciated the end-to-end comfort that our driver (Pratap Singh) gave us. We had only to eat, sleep and be ready for the next day for more tourism; the driver solved all the remaining logistical problems for us. The hotel accommodations were also excellent. The dinner with the authentic Rajasthani family was an unexpected treat! Two helpful tips:- 1) Your guides and driver make a tenth of what you make, so understand the system of tipping in India to get the best out of them. 2) Have a sense of the major highlights you want to see. There is so much to see that you probably won't get to see it all. Your tour guide is basically infinitely malleable to your wishes. If you choose unwisely, your tour guide will just as happily show you a local bazaar and let you skip a World Heritage Site!

Visiting India from the US for a wedding, I had an 8 hour layover in Mumbai that I didn't want to waste. Not enough time to fully experience the city, but just enough to get a taste. I searched for a tour that both fit my timing and would give an overview of the city, and this tour delivered both exceptionally! They were able to meet me right outside the airport and then whisk us away with the driver expertly navigating traffic (you haven't experienced driving until you've been to Mumbai!) while the tour guide gave a detailed overview of what we were seeing with notes on the history and giving further information when I had questions. We visited a number of famous sites, and were able to take in a few special requests for specifics I wanted to see and cover. Based on when I arrived, we were lucky enough to catch the gorgeous sunset as well as the tour went into the evening. At the end, we returned to the airport and I had plenty of time to get to my next flight. When I return to Mumbai next, I look forward to another tour!
