We were nervous scheduling a tour halfway across the globe (literally). However, the Royal Rajasthan experience was great from start to finish.
Vikas was our primary contact - working with us to customize our 5-day Golden Triangle experience to visit everything we wanted in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. He was quick in his responses via email and WhatsApp!
Our driver, Sanjay, was a lifesaver - keeping us safe on the crazy roads of India. ('good brakes, good horn, good luck!') He even took us to an extra stop and recommended a dinner place on the way to the airport drop-off.
Royal contracts with local, independent tour guides. who know the sites well. Each of our guides (Ramesh, Divya, Sher Singh) had lived in their respective cities for many years, if not their whole life. They provided historical context for each memorial as well as became our 'free' photographer as we toured the site. They guided us to the best places for buying souvenirs and places to avoid. They were so proud of their city and loved showing it off to us.
We were able to meet Vikas in person to pay the balance of the trip on our next to last day. And talk with him about the overall experience.
Be sure to know the types of hotels and vehicle type you will have for the trip. We needed to upgrade the car after day 1 to an SUV to get more room and better A/C (a must!)!
We were treated as Royalty by Royal Rajasthan Travel!
