7 - Excursion privée d'une journée au Rajasthan : Taj Mahal, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur

I always wanted to visit India and I saw what I came to see in New Delhi, Taj Mahal, and Rajasthan. I didn’t have time to plan this trip so this private tour was very convenient. We were driven to all the sites allowing us to visit more places in short amount of time. Our driver, Prem, was excellent. He drove very carefully and explained our itinerary along the way. He was very attentive to our needs and help resolved any issues that were encountered.

Wonderful trip to Rajistan we will always treasure. So well organised from start to finish with excellent communication from the company. Our driver Pankaj was promt & so helpful, driving safely. All our guides in Rajistan were outstanding, so friendly & knowledgeable. Special shout out to Mr Sharma, Shyam & Ashok but again everyone was exceptional. A tour not to be missed. Highly recommend. We loved it all. Thank you

Me, my wife and my sister-in-law spent 7 days travelling across Rajasthan. We arranged to have a sightseeing tour of Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur with Rathambore National Park included as well as Rankanpur temple. We were promised a 5 star experience throughout the trip. We were picked up from Delhi by our driver Vipin, he was punctual throughout making sure we were up and out on time to make the most of our tour. He drove carefully and safely despite there being long drives in between each destination. Some drives took up to 6 hours depending on traffic. He was so knowledgeable and made sure our personal safety was paramount. The hotel selections were as described an amazing 5 star experience, thank you for such good choices. My personal favourite was in Ranthanbore, I’m gutted I didn’t get to see any tigers but thats nature. At each destination we had personal guide who were patient and very informative. Throughout our tour we met such nice and polite staff which added to our experience. I would 100% recommend Shakul and his company to anyone. Thank you again

My family and I had the pleasure of getting a closer look at the famed Golden Triangle (Delhi - Agra - Jaipur), as well as Jaisalmer and Jodhpur, with the guidance of experienced tour guides and a professional driver through Pacific Classic Tours India. This was our first trip back to India after a nineteen year gap, and the first trip to India ever for our two children (ages 14 and 9). Given the circumstances, it was particularly beneficial to have the support of a regional tour group that could direct us accordingly to the places we had been planning to see. We especially appreciated the careful approach taken by Mr. Gurmeet Singh (Bittu), who maneuvered various roads with ease and efficiency while also monitoring our safety and overall wellbeing. Ample bottled water and a clean car came ready each morning. Whether it was a temporarily misplaced cellphone or a younger guest needing a moment or two of comic relief, Mr. Singh was ready to lend a hand with aplomb. Each of the tour guides we were assigned for various cities were knowledgeable, eager to share their unique understanding of a site's historic or archeological significance. I would especially like to highlight two guides -- Mr. Prabhat Mangliya of Jodhpur and Mr. Rajesh Khatri of Jaisalmer -- who approached the task of showing sights with humor and wit. It was clear that their passion for the work informs how they act as ambassadors for their respective cities and the tour guide profession overall.

Excellent road trip. Impressive sites. We could visit every location, museum, palace, temple proposed in the program but for sure in one week we only had an "overview". There are a lot of other sites to see in New Delhi for example or we could have stayed a little bit longer in Udaipur to feel the incredible relaxing atmosphere and visit other interesting sites near this town. Hotels were as good as expected. The ones in Jodhpur and Udaipur were amazing : one looked like a palace in a large green setting, the other one possesses a magnificent view around the town and on Pichola lake from its rooftop. Our driver Prem (Love in Hindi) was very careful on the road (it is a huge compliment for Indian drivers :-) ) and thoughtful.

The trip of a lifetime with Pacific Classic Tours 10/10 A++++ 5 Stars What can I say? This has been an incredible, magical, trip of a lifetime - and one I hope to repeat to do all the things there wasn't time to do, and visit all the places we just couldn't possibly squeeze in.  While my husband and I were a little apprehensive at the sheer volume of activities across five cities over seven days, the  Pacific Classic Tours ensured that every little detail was taken care of, and under the care of some absolutely wonderful local guides (and the incredible Mr. Prem who was our driver, confidant, and advisor for the whole tour) we did not once feel like we were overdoing it. Special thanks to Prashant in Delhi for his wit and humour as we toured the capital, and his grace and elegant pivot as we tore up our planned itinerary in Delhi to request a visit to the Jama Masjid and a walk around the narrow alleys of the old town.  Special thanks also to Vijay, our companion in Agra who is an unreasonably happy individual for someone responsible for dawn tours - and an incredible aspiring photographer to boot. A couple of examples of some of the wonderful pictures he took for us while visiting one of the most magical places on earth, the Taj Mahal. Both my husband and I were absolutely delighted with the warmth and sheer breadth of knowledge from our guide in Jaipur, Ashok, who regaled us with everything from tales of antiquity, insights into human nature, indian diets and health, stories from multiple religions, palmistry, and some incredible information on horoscopes - all while visit the magnificent Amber Palace, the Wind and Water Palaces, and the inspiring Jantar Mantar Observatory. Two nights in Jodphur under the care of Rakesh - the amazing Blue City, with the incredible Mehrangarh Fort and the Jaswant Thada cenotaph. Selfie heaven. Amazing other photo opportunities around the Clock Tower Market (Ghanta Ghar and the Sardar Market). Lastly, in Udaipur, with the very high-energy Sakib, we got to enjoy an extensive walk around the city, stopping at the Jagdish temple and the City Palace of Udaipur, followed by a wonderfully refreshing boat cruise across Lake Pichola. We skipped the visit to the Bagore Ki Haveli Museum to explore the local Bazaars selling local produce - most stores we closed given it was a Sunday, but the stunning colours of the women out buying produce was absolutely amazing to see.  Truly a trip of a lifetime. The colours. The food. The people. The sites and sounds. Cannot recommend it enough.

A+++++ Our heartfelt and sincere appreciation to our guide, Mr. Prem Varma, for his kind care and attention, his genuine patience and attentiveness during our seven days together touring across the golden triangle and beyond. From the breathtaking dawn tour of the Taj Mahal in Agra, to the Water and Wind Palaces of Jaipur, the Mehrangarh Fort of Jodphur, and the uplifting boat cruise across Lake Pichola in Udaipur, Mr. Prem was our unflagging, uncomplaining, and endlessly entertaining guide and driver - and putting up with myself and my wife for multiple 5+ hour drives is no mean feat. Mr. Prem's wonderful insights into the regions through which we travelled, his constant efforts to ensure we have everything we need - including my particular penchant for old watch stores selling vintage timepieces, which he hunted down in each city we visited - was a constant source of delight. Mr. Prem's superb language skills, his unfailing punctuality, and very genuine personal generosity was the perfect compliment to the splendor and magnificence of our all too short tour of Rajasthan. Highly recommended tour, and if you can secure the services of Mr. Prem, I can guarantee a wonderful experience.

My family and I took a nine-day tour with Pacific Classic Tours in January before heading to a wedding in Bangalore. It was an amazing experience. We LOVED our tour guide Mahesh. He was quite knowledgeable on all of the places we visited, was flexible in tweaking the schedule as needed, and was a master at identifying and taking the very best pictures! We consider ourselves lucky to have been under his incredible care! Our accommodations were lovely and most welcome after long days of touring. They were absolutely worthy of the five-star ratings, although some required more driving to get to than we might have liked. Our two drivers were quite competent - which is no small feat as driving in India is like nothing we have ever experienced. We also appreciated Shakul and his planning skills both in advance of the trip and as itinerary changes were made. The one thing we would change if we had to do it again is to stay longer in fewer places. We squeezed in more cities than was humanely possible, which resulted in more driving and less touring than was ideal. Bottom line, it was a great trip that we will always remember. Thank you, Pacific Classic for making it possible.

Solo traveller travelling for the first time in this magical part of India. I’ve loved the colour and opulence of Rajasthan, it’s incredibly photogenic. Was extremely well looked after by the very capable Prem, who not only was a great driver, but also made me feel very comfortable and safe. He was brilliant. Guides in each city had great local knowledge and made it a terrific experience. I chose my own accommodation… and shopped a lot! Beautiful part of the world and great tour. Highly recommend.
