          Lovely day out, but a little rushed
          Was a lovely day trip, they had great communication before the excursion and kept us informed. The driver was prompt and generally nice, but he got annoyed my 3 year old son for stepping on the car seat, which felt unnecessary. The tour guide Harpreet was really nice and knowledge and the Golden temple was Amazing! However, the visit did feel quite rushed and would have liked a little bit more time there and felt we could have spent more time there as once we finished lunch he said we had a hour before we could go to the border, and therefore we went to a textile shop. We made it with plenty of time to the border itself, and the parade itself was amazing!

          Shada Safaris is the Best
          My trip to Nairobi National Park was epic, one for the books, my family & I enjoyed every moment. I will definitely do another trip and will always recommend Shada Safaris to anyone.

          GeTS Holidays created a fantastic tour of India
          This company helped to organise a tour to my liking. My point of contact was Anu who advised variations and suggested visits to many palaces, temples and sights. We added on a further tour of Kerala which was no problem for her. She was excellent. The final tour that was tailor made for us was superb. The drivers and guides that GeTS organised were very good, punctual and efficient. They set up a Whatsapp group to include contact 24hrs a day. They supplied contact details of each driver and guide. Nothing was too much trouble. I thank all the staff at GeTS for making a fantastic and very memorable holiday. I hoghly recommend GeTS Holidays

          Feedback about customised tour - Golden Triangle / Varanasi.
          Deepak set-up our customised tour that took us from Delhi - Jaipur - Agra - Lucknow - Varanasi - Delhi. He was very response to our requests and quick at customising the tour and providing the quotation. Mahipal was our driver for most of the tour. He was an outstanding driver and we really enjoyed our time with him. In addition to being highly skilled, he was always ready at the agreed times, extremely well presented, friendly, and happy to support us with our needs. We felt the tour guides Jabbar (Delhi), Nadeem (Jaipur), and Nash (Agra) were all very good. Various trips to & from the airport in Delhi were facilitated by Vinit who was always friendly, helpful, interesting to talk to & who guided us through the check-in process both at the hotel & the airport. Gets Holidays were very competitive in price. We really enjoyed our stay in this amazing country. 🙏

          Amazing!
          We had selected GeTs Holidays after a lot of research and we are glad we chose them. Santosh Nayak and Md. Azhar were very prompt in their responses and went above and beyond to assist us when we had a major issue with the vehicle. The tour guides, Aamir, Nishant and Jawan were very knowledgeable and patient answering our questions. All in all, we had a fantastic trip and would recommend GeTs Holidays for anybody planning a trip in India.

          FRIDAY NIGHTOUT AT PANJIM WITH FAMILY – A REMARKABLE EPISODE!!
          At 4:30 pm on Friday, my younger brother Prateek suddenly decided out of the blues to drive us to Panjim - the capital city of Goa to enjoy the night!! So, at first he parked his new car in front of Caculo Mall in Panjim! Then, we entered the huge mall and at first, me, Dad and Mom – the three of us had some lovely Cappucino and Prateek preferred to sip Café – Mocha!! To go with that we had a plate of Onion Bhajjis and even a plate of Chicken Chilly Garlic Momos!! We chatted for a while but, soon we ventured to indulge in shopping at the mall! Although, we tried to select some clothing at some of the cotton clothing stores over there, but finally we decided not to purchase them and instead we thought we will drive down to “Soul Curry” a fabulous joint suggested by Prateek to revel in Goan food!!! Once we entered Soul Curry a family restaurant we found the ambience was very cozy. The hotel furnishings had glass fitted tables and lilac cushioned chairs and over there we even clicked some fascinating photographs. At first, Prateek ordered us Cream of Sweet Corn Vegetable soup which was a rich creamy broth with French beans, Carrots and Sweet Corn. For appetizers he ordered a plate of Dragon Chicken, Rava Fry Chicken slices and Chicken Manchurian and with this we also had some Fresh Lime Soda. Besides, we ordered some seafood as well such as a large Kingfish Fry which we all shared and truly relished. So the nightout on Friday was spent together at this inviting hotel where indulging in every Goan dish was a feast indeed!! Well, I realized food is not just fuel it’s an experience with all the spices infused in the preparation! I was very keen to click some pics of all the items we savoured which I would highly recommend even my close pals to try them out. Finally, it was a long way back home by car from the Atal Setu Bridge which is a Cable-stayed bridge that exists between Panjim and Povorim. This bridge - a marvel of modern engineering, which connects Goa's vibrant landscapes and fosters seamless travel across the Mandovi River, at nightfall, is all lit up in magnificent illumination of Turquoise, Sea Blue, Yellow, Bright Red hues to watch over to unwind on a long drive over the Bridge!! While on the drive I was truly ecstatic. The evening unfolded to be zestful and I was so keen to capture the essence of these priceless moments spent together. This invoked me to pen down a few lines about the night out which in turn will bring new strength and liveliness every time I look back fondly at these incidents to keep me in a buoyant spree!!.

          6Nights , 7 Days trip to Gangtok, Lachung
          Had booked a Package with MakeMyTrip for (2N Gangtok + 1 N Lachen + 2 N Lachung + 1N Gangtok). MMT was ignorant of the road conditions to Lachen , so had to stay in Gangtok for an extra day. Lachen roads were not opened after oct 2023 floods. (Always better be sure about these things from other sources) But the trip was very well co-originated by MMT field staff( Ruzbeh, Abhinay rai, Asad Bharati and Santosh Kamble). Very grateful to them. 1. Day 1- landed at Bagdogra airport and briefing and travel to Gangtok , reached there by 7:00 pm. Scenic view on the way and slow moving traffic also. 2. Day 2- Nathula pass, Tsongmo lake, Baba mandir (this needs permit) only 4 wheel drive allowed to Nathula pass. Returned back by 3:00 , went to MG marg and roamed around.(Permit required for all of these) 3. Day 3 -Gangtok sight seeing rope way, Hanuman tok, Ganesh tok, Bhaktang water falls, Tashi view point, Rumtek monastery , Ban Jhakri water falls and returned back by 6:30 4 Day 4 - Gangtok to Lachung ,(started at 8:00 AM) Lot of water falls in between, Bheem nala water fall is very nice. Breath taking views on the way. Teesta river on the way. Single road with lot of curves. Reached Lachung by 2:00 PM. Was raining in Lachung , so relaxed in the hotel rest of the day. (Permit required for Lachung). 5. Day 5- Yumtang valley , zero point, hot springs- Started by 8:00 AM saw blooms of Rhodendron on the way. Spent some time at zero point, experienced a light snow fall. Visited beautiful Yumtang valley and reached back hotel by 3:00 PM. Relaxed rest of the day. 6 Day 6- Back to Gangtok (started at 6:00 AM) reached gangtok by 12:00 AM. Visited Do Drul monastery, Namgyal tibetology institute and returned back to hotel 7 Day 7- Gangtok to Bagdogra via Darjeeling(due to road diversion) Started at 4:00 AM and reached Bagdogra by 11:00 AM. A memorable trip , grateful to all the drivers and the MMT co-ordinators

        Gets Holidays was fantastic! They answered all my questions quickly over WhatsApp and email, and everyone I met from the company was super punctual. Our driver, tour guide in Varanasi, and even the local tour manager all showed up right on time.
        The tempo traveller we used was clean and comfortable, and our guide in Varanasi was friendly and helpful. Plus, they even gave us free bottled water throughout the day, which was a nice touch!

        A big part of the trip's success came from the excellent hotels I stayed in at each location. They provided clean and comfortable accommodations, a welcome respite after a day of exploring temples and sacred sites. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a relaxing and hassle-free stay.

        I was fortunate to have a fantastic guide by my side throughout the journey. Their expertise on the history, mythology, and significance of each place was invaluable. They brought the stories to life, deepening my understanding and appreciation of these holy cities. The guide's passion and knowledge went beyond facts and figures; they were able to share cultural insights and local customs, enriching the entire experience.
