Golden Triangle Tour 3 Days

I recently went on a trip, and it was a memorable experience! The destination was beautiful, and everything was well-managed. The stay was comfortable, and the itinerary covered all major attractions. Thank you for tha wonderful service!! — Sangeeta

Awesome experience in India. We did a very last minute tour booking and everything was great thanks to Manoj. Our driver Mukesh was always on time and flexible to our requirements. We really enjoyed all the information and insights provided by the guides in the three cities, as well as their willingness to take pictures for us take home a beautiful memory from the Golden Triangle. Would definitely book with them again!

This is a great tour with a great company. We have been using India Trip Designer and Manoj for our tours for almost 10 years. Most knowledgeable and most trustworthy guides. Great price and wonderful experience tailored to your needs.

Overall the trip was amazing! the tour guide was very informative and made the time enjoyable and accommodated to our needs.

Highly recommend India Trip Designer for the Golden Triangle Tour. Manoj our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to great stores for shopping.

Overall the tour has been really good. From the start it was very easy to communicate with the tour guides over what’s ap as to when they would be arriving to pick us up etc. The tour guides all spoke very good English and provided in-depth knowledge of the monuments. Both the driver and guides were very friendly and went over and above with helping us get a local SIM card and providing us with tips of what to when the tour finished. The hotels were very good and we especially liked our Jaipur hotel which had a lovely rooftop terrace to take in the sites of the city. Would recommend this company to friends and family coming to India.

Overall-- average/good, met expectations Attractions - 4 out of 5. Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Amber Fort, and Jantar Mantar were all excellent. I would recommend skipping some of the lesser attractions if short on time and fully explore 2 places that you really want to see each day. They will bring you to a bunch of crafters that make jewelry, rugs, etc. These are cool but they will try to sell you items at tourist prices, if tempted to buy at least haggle. Hotels - 5 out of 5. We bought the 3- star hotel package, and both nights exceeded my expectations. Restaurants - 4 out of 5. We ate at 2 restaurants, both a little fancy/expensive and geared towards tourists but the food and service were excellent. Driver- Surandra - 4 out of 5. Surandra was flexible with changing plans and food/bathroom needs. Got us to places quickly and safely. Bought us snacks when we didn't have time to stop for dinner. Chews tobacco in car. Agra guide - Balvir - 5 out of 5. Very knowledgeable and polite, helped us navigate the city, hotel, tips for other service people, etc. very well. Really made the experience positive. Jaipur guide - KC - 3 out of 5. Not particularly considerate to our interests or schedule. Knowledgable but redundant. Did help arrange transportation and tickets, saving us money with the student ticket.

Surandra was an excellent driver, who picked us up for the airport in Delhi, took us through Delhi and to Agra and Jaipur, and pointed out places of interest and photo opportunities along the way. When we told him we had to go back to Delhi (a much longer trip than he had planned), he arranged for another driver and even provided us with fruit for snacks. Our guide Balvir in Agra was very good, explaining not only the history of the places but also the surrounding culture and the tips for various other service people. He also took very good pictures and helped us skip lines. Our guide KC in Jaipur was friendly and helpful, but he repeated himself constantly to the point of annoyance. He also sometimes treated us (2 adult women) like children, warning us not to wander in the Amber Fort for fear we'd get lost, not listening when we said we wanted to spend much longer there, reading the museum plaques for us, and telling us to hold on and not use our phones during the gentle elephant ride. The guides did bring us to artisans and an elephant sanctuary where the owners tried hard to get us to buy things, and these stops were not on the itinerary. However, if you're firm and tell them no, you can leave right away, and if you're interested you can bargain them down to much lower than their starting price. This trip has a lot of driving (3 hours from Delhi to Agra, 5 hours from Agra to Jaipur), but it gives you a very good picture of Northern India as a whole; the city, town, countryside, and crazy traffic. We chose 3-star hotels, which still turned out to be much fancier than we anticipated. They took us to nice restaurants, which weren't so fancy as to be out of our price range. Overall, they were flexible with our requests. The trip was ultimately a good though rapid-pace experience of Northern India. If we had time, I would have liked to have spent a little more time at a few of the places, but it was a good choice for the time we had.

We made the 3-days-Golden-Triangel tour with India Trip Designer and we have to say that we would not book the same tour with the same agency again. The tour was very well organised and they chose quite good hotels (we selected the 4-star-hotels). The service was always on time. However, we had 3 tour guides (one in Dehli, one in Agra and one in Jaipur) and non of them managed to satisfied us. The information they provided could have been given by an audio guide in the same quality, but with more enthusiasm. When we asked some questions, we got wrong answers (which was easy to prove as their responses didn’t make sense). Another thing which made us feel very uncomfortable was that we didn’t had the feeling that they wanted to show us the place. Their focus was on us spending as much money as possible at the different places. At the end of the tours in Delhi and Jaipur we were lead to “secret” places offering us the highest quality products at apparently cheap rates.... Another thing was that the second driver we had was very tired when we went from Agra to Jaipur, which scared us a little bit. Overall we would say that the organisation is very good but the tour guides are not even though they are one of the most important parts of such a tour. Nevertheless, we can not recommend it as it’s not proper value for the money.

Starting with our Forensic driver, pleasant attentive and prudent. With a high-end car and very comfortable. The guide to Agra, Manoj, nice, collaborative and very good photographer! We couldn't better finish the visit with Ram, our guide in Jaipur. He speaks Spanish perfectly, attentive, pleasant, intelligent and eager to teach and learn. It was the most. Also, it gives you peace of mind to be picked up and waiting for you at all times. We were in 2 very good quality hotels. Fully recommended.
