- 277farsanas0 contributionsKerala TripMy Kerala adventure, organized by Fida at Astera Tours, was an absolute dream! From the moment we hit the road, every turn brought new wonders. Munnar’s misty hills were like something out of a fairy tale, while Alleppey’s stunning backwaters felt like pure magic. Sure, the winding roads and lack of internet made the journey a bit challenging, but the jaw-dropping scenery made it all worth! The hotels—Fragrant Munnar, Cochin, and Spice Route Alleppey—were simply fantastic, blending luxury with cozy charm. And the food? Absolutely divine! Every meal felt like an explosion of flavors I didn’t want to end. Even the light rain couldn’t dampen the vibe—it added a refreshing, almost mystical touch to the whole experience. The best part, though, was the people! Courteous, warm, and always eager to help, they made me feel right at home. This trip was an adventure for the senses, and I can’t recommend it enough!Written September 18, 2024

- Freedom675616204950 contributionsA breathtaking day at the Taj MahalThe Taj Mahal is justifiably one of the great wonders of the world, and there truly is nothing like being up to it in person. I had an amazing time on this trip. The guide was deeply knowledgeable and thoughtful. I'm an inquisitive geek and he gracefully answered every question I threw at him, as well as filled me in on many details of history and architecture that I otherwise would have missed. It was a truly breathtaking monument to see and an all around brilliant day.Written October 15, 2023
- MayT890 contributionsAmazing experience with Fida from Astera Tours - Kashmir IndiaMy husband, daughter and I travelled through parts of Kashmir with Fida and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Him and the driver he worked with (Firdous), were able to ensure that we were always tended to, received the best deals with pony rides and the likes and overrall had a great experience. Our daughter got sick along the way and Fida was flexible to work around our schedule and with rearanging the programme. Kashmir is a truly beautiful destination with extremely lovely people. It is also extremely safe for tourists. We will definitely be going back to explore more of Kashmir and Ladakh with Fida and Firdous.Written May 6, 2023
- TrIndi0 contributionsSrinagar and Skiing GulmargAstera Tours provided top rate service and accommodations. Fida was great at organizing my customized trip to Gulmarg to ski the Himalayas. From the pick up at the airport, the 9 days of rooms, meals, and transport to & from Srinagar to Gulmarg all went smoothly and was to the quality expected. Additional to my planned itinerary I did a wonderful day tour of Srinagar. Fida was very good at understanding his clients and gave a great tour of the architectural and social sites. i.e. Temples, historical bdg., local shops, food & chai vendors. Fida's knowledge of Srinagar and India in general, along with his social and political sauve made for interesting and intellectual conversation. Whether it is a fully organized tour or help planning a customized adventure Astera Tours provides professional, services with the personal touch. Thanks Fida for a wonderful time.Written April 28, 2023
- 775mindyk0 contributionsAdventures, Exciting and beautiful .I really enjoyed my holidays with Astera Tours. The CEO Mr Fida personally took us around Sri Nagar and Gulmarg, he is such a nice person. Fida treats us as a family, I fell sick and he took me to hospital and was there until I recovered, he is just an angel, he was like a son to me. Fida makes u feel at home. His explanation when he took us around is tremendous and in detailed. I highly recommend whoever ones to go to India and especially Khasmir please contact Astera Tours and speak to Mr Fida. Khasmir is a beautiful place. Gulmarg was a good experience with snow falling. Fida make sures your stay is worth what I pay for.Written March 4, 2023
- danial_73710 contributionsBest Of North IndiaI did not want a conventional tour where you are rushing from one point to another Hence I used Astera Tours since I have used them before and contacted the person in charge FIda directly He was accessible and provided top notch service and advise when needed He helped me craft my 19 days trip of northern India and even arranged everything from airport pick up and drop off and everything in between All I had to do was show up The whole tour was very professional and I felt safe From Amritsar to Sri Nagar to Gulmarg to Simla to Manali @ 19 days of heaven and absolute relaxation plus great food and shopping I am already planning my next trip to south India with Astera and I personally recommend this highly customise tour service to fit your needs o everyone And let me add - it’s cost effective tooWritten March 2, 2023
- RazakY50 contributionsExcellent Personalised India Holiday PackageWe do not want the usual tourist package because we want a relaxed holiday and to visit only certain places, stay in good hotels, and do simple activities. Fida and his team can do that for you and more. The team can even help you with getting ticket rides, and local sim cards and recommending some activities that are of your interest. Amritsar, Srinagar, Gulmarg, Chandigarh, Simla, Manali, and Dharamshala in 19 days with flights and cars in 19 days. Great time! Another thing that sets apart Fida from the rest is that he may not be there in front of you all the time, but he will handle issues immediately when the need arises. This is my second time using Fida and he certainly delivers on both occasions. He can customize and recommend to you the best options. Tell him what you want, and he can tell you the options. Excellent work Fida!Written January 3, 2023
- Aishwarya K0 contributionsPleasant and trustworthy Kashmir visitA trustworthy experience interacting with Fida and his team. He ensured comfortable stay for us at Srinagar even on last minute request as we visited the nearby attractions like Gulmarg and Doodhpatri.Written November 20, 2022

I contacted Fida from Astera Tours in about April and gave him a brief of our expectations.
We kept in touch and coined an itinerary suitable for our 7 day trip in May.
Fida was excellent and extremely accommodating in terms of impromptu itinerary updates, showing us off beaten and off track locations. Giving us history of the places we visited. Also suggestions for restaurants and stays were on point.
We had an extremely relaxing, enjoyable, comfortable, safe and beautiful trip thanks to Fida and his companion Firdaus.

In a place where every kid calls himself "a guide" It was refreshing to meet a professional. Fida takes his job seriously and he deserves all compliments. He knows the landscape, the main attraction as well as the hidden gems and he took care of us! (I can't begin to explain how important it was). We felt secure with him. Listen to his advice and let him tailor make a trip for you.
(we happened to use his expertise in Kashmir but I'd trust him everywhere in India as well)

We were referred to Fida by a friend in Delhi and from our first contact we made with him, we knew we found the RIGHT guy.
Honest, trustworthy, professional, caring, are just a few adjectives I can use to describe him.
He knows his job very well. Shows you the reality of the areas you visit w and is always ready to get into deeper, more specific conversation with information that other guides would not even care to mention.
His English is excellent and communication is flawless.
If you want to have a great and complete experience in Kashmir (and other parts of India), Fida and his team are the people you are looking for.
Special thanks to Ferdouz, his skillful and very kind driver.
Go for it! Look no further! 😉
