We booked a 9 day golden triangle tour with Royal Rajasthan Travels in Sep. Communication was excellent during planning, booking a bespoke tour for our specific date and location requests. They wrote a seamless itinerary including all hotels, guides at each location, private driver and car for the duration plus connecting train tickets. We went for the 4* accommodation option: the hotels were a mix of modern and traditional luxury hotels, all faultless and in great locations. Our driver Sanjay was the star of the trip and a credit to the company. He knitted the trip together perfectly, always at the right location at the right time, with cold bottled water and an infectious smile. The car was comfortable and we felt safe at all times – he was clearly experienced on the crazy Indian roads! Although not a professional guide he offered local and cultural knowledge along the journey and on occasions took us to local sights not on the schedule. Nothing was too much trouble for the company and they were very flexible when we wanted to change one of the planned days and add in an evening trip. The guides at each city varied in quality, but overall they were very good. A couple felt a bit rushed but conversely others went above and beyond. The Royal Rajasthan rep in Agra also excellently managed a crisis when our planned overnight train was cancelled, rebooking us on a different train and Sanjay getting us there in record time, meaning we didn’t have a delay at all in the end! Overall it was a fantastic trip: a perfect blend of stress-free luxury and culture. Excellent value for money (much more so than self booking) and we would highly recommend booking a similar tour with Royal Rajasthan Travels.

It was a very well managed trip and I had an amazing EXPERIENCE. This was my first experience with D2G and I had gone with my cousin brother who has already done 3-4 treks with D2G. The trek leaders (Varun & Aman) were absolutely amazing and took care of the diverse group of 15 people very well such that no one felt left out. The journey was very comfortable and it was thoroughly enjoyable as we played games along the way. The stay was comfortable and we were well rested after the 2 treks. The team took care of every minute detail as they were well prepared for various scenarios. The food was great and the requests of the group were accomodated very well. I would highly recommend D2G for any treks as I plan to do many more with them! It was an amazingly fun, unique, thoroughly enjoyable yet completely value for money experience!!!

My driver picked me up at my hotel, took me to the museums of my choice, and also took me to a very good restaurant for lunch. Navigating Delhi is tricky. He cut through the chaos beautifully, and the National Museum of Delhi is not to be missed.
