fue una excelente decisión tomar este tour en la India. En poco tiempo pudimos conocer sitios impresionantes con nuestros guías en agra y Jaipur quienes nos dieron información detallada de la historia de los sitios visitados. El Idioma no fue problema ya que nuestros guías hablaban español perfecto.

We had an overall excellent experience on our tour. Before our travel dates, company CEO Raj Sharma helpfully communicated with us on details and options. All of the logistics went smoothly, and the escorts to and from the train stations were especially helpful - the stations would definitely have been a bit chaotic and intimidating otherwise! Our driver, Prem, who stayed with us both days and for the long drive between Agra and Jaipur, was friendly and helpful. Our guides, Tony in Agra and Ashok in Jaipur, were knowledgeable and professional and made sure everything ran smoothly, down to identifying the best picture spots and helping navigate aggressive vendors. Ashok in particular was a delightful companion and incredible resource for our day in Jaipur. And the sites themselves were of course amazing. It's hard for anything to compete with the Taj Mahal - it would be worth a visit all by itself - but we really loved our time in Jaipur also. Our hotel for the night (The Lemon Tree) was very nice, our lunch at a local restaurant was delicious, Amber Fort was gorgeous, the City Palace museum was great, and we learned a ton at the fascinating Jantar Mantar. It was a packed but well organized itinerary, and the time at each site felt sufficient for us. The shopping excursions in both Agra and Jaipur may not be for everyone's tastes - the sales pitches at the shops can be a bit heavy-handed by US standards - but we ended up happy with the purchases we made (just remember you're never required to buy anything!). It was a trip of a lifetime for us, and we'd definitely recommend Nikita Holidays and our guides, for anyone considering a visit.
