Five Senses and Balwinder Made Our India Trip Extraordinary!!!
It was our first trip to India and, being such a huge country, we knew we needed someone to guide us and take us to the main sights. That’s why we chose Five Senses, and they made our journey absolutely amazing.
We visited New and Old Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra, and every stop was perfectly planned. The timing for each visit was spot on, so we could truly enjoy the beauty of each place without feeling rushed or overwhelmed by big crowds.
In particular, our guide Balwinder made the whole experience extraordinary — always caring about our comfort and safety. Thanks to him and to Five Senses we ate delicious food (best lassi ever!!!), learned about the culture, customs, and met wonderful local people. Visiting the most popular spots was a breeze, as they timed everything perfectly to avoid the biggest crowds, and always got us as close as possible to the entrances.
The only part we didn’t love (which happens in many tourist destinations) was being taken to handicraft shops in each city. While it’s very interesting to see the production process, the sellers can be a bit too persistent at times, which can feel uncomfortable.
That said, Balwinder is not only a true professional but also a genuinely kind person, always ready to help.
Thank you Five Senses for making this trip unforgettable! 100% recommended!

Checking Off My Bucket List
It was definitely a trip of a lifetime. It was way beyond my expectation. I felt safe & comfortable throughout the trip. Our guide & driver was beyond perfection - excellent driver, patient & knowledgeable. He gave good suggestions for whatever we wanted to do / see / eat.

Excellent tour
Our trip was amazing and in great part thanks to our amazing driver, Balwinder. He was patient, kind and so knowledgeable. He was always flexible and willing to adapt the itinerary to our family’s needs.
He knows all the areas so well and helped us prioritize seeing so much in a short time! He made us feel safe and well cared for throughout the trip.
I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing! Very happy!!
I would recommend 5 Senses to everyone. In fact, I did to my brother, who has already booked them. Very pleasant to interact with. Fair and transparent prices. And our driver/organizer Balwinder was a true pleasure. All around fantastic.

Exciting 3 day trip to Jaipur which hits all the beautiful palaces and forts and leaves time for shopping!
My friend and I booked a 3 day trip to Jaipur with 5 Senses. The itinerary included the Amber Fort, City Palace, observatory and many more stops along the way. Our guide was very informative and was always happy to answer our questions. He was also a great photographer and knew all the great spots to take a picture. Our driver Balwinder was also great. He was so accommodating as we had a list of shopping venues.

One week of time travel
I travelled with my 79 year old mother. Starting off with Amritsar, moving on to Delhi, Agra and then winding up in Jaipur.
The schedule was organized impeccably - tiring, without being exhausting. The Golden Temple and the Wagah Border are spectacles that we enjoyed immensely.
The Qutub Minar is a wonderful sight, and I wish we'd spent more time there. Humayun's Tomb was a bit underwhelming, in retrospect.
The piece de resistance of the trip in undoubtedly the Taj Mahal. No amount of hype can prepare you for the sight that greets you. I was left agape for most of the 2 hours I spent there. I can't wait to go back for another sighting on a moonlit night.
Both the Agra fort Fatehpur Sikhi are beautiful as well. We visited them either side of the Taj Mahal, and they complimented each other pretty well.
On to Jaipur - the Amer fort is spectacular. Just the sheer scale and the opulence are breathtaking. While I found the the Jal Mahal and the Hawa Mahal quite avoidable, there's the totally unheralded Step Well near the fort which is quite brilliant. I was also left wondering why the Jantar mantar hasn't been declared another wonder of the world. It is fabulous!
The only crib I might have is the quality of guides. While these have all the factual information at their disposal, I quite missed having one with an ability to weave good stories. Surely there can't be a dearth of stories while going through sights dating back centuries! :)
5 senses planned the trip extremely well and we were shepherded expertly by the always-smiling, tireless Balwinder.
