6 Day Delhi Agra Jaipur Udaipur Tour-Golden Triangle with Udaipur

I went to a private Golden Triangle tour in India and the trip is one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences I have had. As a solo traveler I was anxious to journey through India due to many unpleasant things and precautions that some past travelers have shared. My experience was different. My tour driver Ajay accompanied me from Delhi to Agra and Jaipur. The journey was safe and enjoyable. Ajay took good care of me and i will always remember him and his wonderful service. I hope to have him again as my tour driver when I come back to India.

My girlfriend and I visited from LA. First time in India, and we don’t speak Hindi at all. We found Vivek’s company on Trip Advisor. This tour was a great speed run of India. It gave us a high level overview of Indian history and culture. It was awesome to compare the various cities, as they’re all very different. Our favorite cities were Jodhpur and Udaipur! They were much more relaxed than Delhi and Agra. We had the same driver for the whole tour. His name was Ajay. His English was so so, but he was extremely nice and accommodating. If we needed to stop somewhere or change the plan, he was happy to accommodate. In each city we were assigned a local guide, who would spend the day with us, taking us to predestined spots. The guides were professional and knowledgeable, and their English skills were (usually) very solid. But I do want to discuss one thing that tourists should keep in mind… Some of the guides were pushy about taking us to specific stores and having us buy things. The shopkeepers were also very pushy once we arrived. After experiencing this a few times in a row, we theorized that the guides were probably earning a commission on the purchases we made at those shops. This eroded our trust in the guides a bit, which was a bummer. After a few days, we started telling our guides that we did not want to visit any stores, and if they had recommendations, they could message us about them on Whatsapp so we could visit them on our own accord. My advice to future tourists is this: feel free to take suggestions from the guides and drivers, but be prepared to find your own restaurants and shops. We relied heavily on TripAdvisor and Google Maps, and were able to find a ton of amazing places to eat and shop. Overall, I highly recommend this tour. It was a fantastic way for us, as first-timers, to throw ourselves into the culture and history of India, with enough “guard rails” to keep us safe and comfortable. Thanks to Vivek, Arjay, and all of our wonderful guides.

My friend and I have just returned from an amazing 6 days Golden Triangle Customized Tour of Udaipur City by Joyful Holidays. They were recommended by relatives who have worked with them many times. My friend suggested some special things that my friend highly recommended to us and with that guidance, Joyful put together an absolutely amazing trip. The team leader met us at the airport and kept in touch throughout the trip. For the most part, our guide was Satish who happens to be a good innovative photographer and a great guide. He used our camera to capture unique and memorable pictures of the four of us that we could not have taken on our own. The guide also negotiated crowds between local markets and monuments. He really helped us a lot. The most unique backdrop is the Taj Lake Palace on Lake Pichola in Udaipur. It was so much fun that I took half a day off from the tour to enjoy it leisurely.
