This was our first trip to India and Joyful Holidays truly made it an amazing adventure! Our driver Rampal was an incredible trip companion and helped us feel safe throughout the many phases of our trip. We also appreciated all of our amazing guides and truly learned so much about both historical and present day India - special shout-out to Raj Kumar in Agra and Suresh in Jodhpur for making our tour extra special. Overall we really cannot recommend this experience enough! We learned so much and had a truly incredible time. Thank you Joyful Holidays!!!

Great tour and excellent support while traveling
If you are travelling to India I thoroughly recommend Sonia and the team at Joyful Holidays. They have some great itineraries where they organizes everything, hotel, site specific guides driver and car etc. However, more importantly, if something goes wrong or you wish to change something – add a specific site, miss out others, they manage this all for you. So easy, safe and much joy delivered!
There is a lot of driving in this tour as you cover a large area, but that was interesting in its own way, cows in the road, camels in the road, elephants in the road etc. But this gets you beyond just the Golden Triangle - I was o pleased to see some of the real rural India still exists - full of colour and interest. Highly recommended

We had an amazing seven-day tour that covered Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur—and it exceeded all expectations!
The guides were knowledgeable and welcoming. They always went the extra mile to make us feel at home and give us a real insight into India’s culture and history.
Our driver, Rajuddin, was truly exceptional. Professional, kind, and always looking out for us, he made the journey smooth, safe, and enjoyable. He was a real star of the trip!

Two Weeks in Rajasthan
Overall, this was a wonderful two plus weeks traveling throughout Rajasthan and Veranasi. Our van driver was amazing, our guides were mostly great, and the sights, markets and food in the country were incredible. My only detractions were that several of our ‘4 star’ hotels did not have hot water, functional air conditioning, and one even was dripping brown water onto the bed. I would go back, but would take much more care to vet the hotels beforehand.

Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s fantastic to hear that your journey through Rajasthan and Varanasi was filled with incredible sights, vibrant markets, and delicious food. Having an amazing van driver and mostly great guides must have made exploring the region even more enjoyable.
I’m sorry to hear that some of the hotels did not meet expectations—comfort is such an important part of a great travel experience. Your insight about carefully vetting accommodations beforehand is really valuable for future travelers. Despite those challenges, it’s wonderful that you’d love to return and explore more. Wishing you many more smooth and unforgettable adventures ahead!

Great experience as a solo female traveler
I was coming to India for a wedding and wanted to travel in Rajasthan while I was here. This was my first solo trip and Sonia and Joyful Holidays were very patient and helpful in designing and itinerary that worked for me. The guides on the tour were great and my driver Mr. Shiv was polite, professional, and a safe driver. Sonia was also helpful with answering my questions throughout the week.
Would definitely recommend if you’re a woman looking to travel in India
