- Explore009833870350 contributionsExcellent service and great job 👍They fantastic guys and helps us in many ways, visiting Taj mahal and shopping. Faizan guide us and every thing about Taj mahal and driver Raja takes us every place where we need to go. He drives us excellent.Written September 18, 2024
- 829kalistaa0 contributionsRain didn’t prevent a great Agra experienceEven though it was raining all day I still had a great time in Agra - mostly because Harsh was so accommodating and helpful in making it the best experience possible for me! We braved the rain for the Taj Mahal tour and then he stopped with me to dry off and get coffee at a nice place. After that I had enough of the rain but he still made sure to tell me all of the historical facts and stop at other sites to explain from the car and also stop by all of the shopping spots I was interested in. I highly recommend Harsh as a tour guide. Excellent choice to the train from Delhi as well, quick and easy trip!Written September 18, 2024

- John M0 contributionsGreat organisation and personal traveller care.We booked a fast train tour from Delhi to Agra in order to visit the Taj Mahal. The booking was made with Viator. Viator didn’t tell us at the time that fast trains were suspended for two weeks (even though they knew) and left that task to Pioneer Holidays. While it was very disappointing, Pioneer Holidays were nothing short of exceptional. Every last detail was attended to and the guide and driver went over and above the call of duty to ensure our visit to this wonder of the world was a day we will never forget. I would have no hesitation in recommending Pioneer Holidays in Agra for this tour and cut out Viator.Written September 13, 2024
- issiae0 contributionsMemorable experienceA very good day spent with Islam who showed us around Taj Mahal and Agra Fort.

Tushar was a geat guide for our first day in Delhi leading us to both - Old and New Delhi. He was flexible in the itinerary and in adjusting the trip to what we were interested in while making fantastic proposals. He even gave us further suggestions for the next day when we were on our own. He and the driver were always considerate and supplied us with water and took us us to a good lunch place.
Overall, it was a very enjoyable first day in India and Delhi.

My husband and I came to India for only a short trip, so we had to see as much as we could in a limited amount of time. Our tour guide Gautam Grover and driver Brij Kishore gave us an amazing experience. We managed to hit all of the highlights in Old and New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, and Gautam was very knowledgeable about all of the historical and modern significance of the places we visited. English is my only language, and communication was never an issue. We had a very safe and enjoyable experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to tour the great things India has to offer. I would rate more than 5 stars if I could

My wife and I are British-born Australians of Punjabi ethnicity. We have visited Delhi many times over the years and were returning this time with our teenage daughter. We thought we would book a tour so she might see the main sights: We weren't expecting to ourselves be as wowed as we were by this tour!
I contacted Pioneer Holidays on the off-chance, the day before we took the tour: We found that we had a day spare in between catching up with family in Delhi. Moin Ashraf answered my emails promptly and dealt with all of my queries. I'd like to commend him for sending excellent communications that clearly set out which services were offered. Payment was smooth and efficient via a secure online link. Moin's prompt and helpful responses made us feel comfortable about making a booking. We were advised of our pick up time and the name of the driver in good time.
On the day of our tour, Kulwant (our driver) and Tushar (our guide) arrived at our residence on time, five minutes before we were due to leave at 0900 hrs.
They were both warm and friendly and made us feel at ease.
Kulwant is a fantastic driver: He was able to efficiently zip through Delhi's heavy traffic but always very safely with no sudden jolts. My wife and I were pleasantly astounded at how smoothly Kulwant ferried us around the city. Kulwant could easily drive for the diplomatic service: He is that good!
Tushar is a wonderful guide: Warm and good-humoured. He really 'brought the city to life' for us and pointed out aspects that my wife and I had not previously appreciated, notwithstanding our numerous visits to Delhi. He helped to negotiate our passage through any queues and he helpfully pointed out the best spots for good photos.
Tushar and Kulwant clearly enjoy their jobs and are highly professional and polished. We would recommend them both and Pioneer to everyone including frequent visitors to Delhi: You will see aspects of Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, Humayun's Tomb and the Qutub Minar that you will not have appreciated before: It's like experiencing Delhi for the first time once again.
Many thanks to Moin, Kulwant and Tushar for a wonderful experience which we will cherish for many years.

Tushar has taken us around Delhi for the whole afternoon. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and speaks very good English. He is very friendly and patient. We had a very good time with him in Delhi and we definitely recommend him as a tour guide. The driver Munesh drives very safely and keeps the car extremely clean and in very good conditions.

I had an incredible time on this Delhi city tour and felt that I got a better appreciation and understanding of this city. My tour guide, GK (Gaurav Kashyap) was wonderful. He went above and beyond to make this tour an unforgettable experience. We visited all the sites and GK's expertise was informative and illuminated what we were seeing. He was friendly, attentive, and generous. Our driver, Jitu, was also top notch. He drove safely and respectfully, and kept his car immaculately clean. I highly recommend Pioneer Holidays, especially if you get a chance to work with GK and Jitu.

Old Delhi is a wonderful place (: .
I was lucky enough to have found this tour because due to corona restriction a lot of places were closed, and many activities were not happening.
The tour service sent me a car to pick me up from my hotel out of Delhi ( so not very close) and this is already a big added point.
We explored the old city, with a lot focus on local streets, shops and food. The tour guide knows a lot about the old city, and he showed me an amazing spot where to eat great local food!
He made me feel at my ease with also that crowd and confusion around and additionally he was a great photographer so I started this trip in India with already an amazing set of fresh pics to remember this amazing trip!
We also had a ride on the tuk tuk bike in the center.
And if it was not corona time, two more stops and some temple visits were going to happen.
I very recommend this tour to start having a bite of Delhi and as a first step into the Indian history and culture (:

An amazing experience! Our tour guide Vikas was extremely knowledgeable about all the spots in Old and New Delhi. Everything was well organised and it was great to take an old rickshaw and ride through the narrow alley ways of Chandi Chowk. We got to see all the major attractions and monuments and Vikas was there with us along the way explaining everything in detail. Taxi was air conditioned and the taxi driver Prakash was extremely attentive to our needs supplying water, an umbrella, opening the door for us. I would highly recommend Vikas and his team especially if you are short on time and want to see Delhi.

Tushar was our Tour Guide during our full day tou of Old and New Delhi. We enjoyed the tour a lot because Tushar was very knowledgeable and professional. He was very accomodating with our needs and he made sure we were enjoying the tour. We will make sure we use him as our Guide when we return with our kids next year. We strongly recommend him because he's very personable and knows how to deliver a complex history in simple terms and makes sure you understand it. Great Guide!

As it was our first visit to India we were slightly apprehensive to explore New Delhi on our own. Our day tour with Vikas removed all those worries as he made us feel comfortable from the get go, showing us round the city and explaining all of the history to each of the sites that we visited.A much recommend tour if you want to jump into New delhi and explore the city!

I had a terrific day in Delhi being guided by Saurabh Anand. He was extremely knowledgeable and really took his time explaining the history and importance of each of our stops. The added landmarks highlighted along the journey were an added bonus. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Delhi looking to learn more about the city’s history.
