8 day Golden triangle tour:
A very good experience, thanks to Imran and his team!
Bros:
1. Imran (the manager) is a skillful, bright and nice guy, always attentive to our calls, queries and demands from the first time we contacted for a package proposal to the very last day of the trip, we also met him in person during the trip.
2. He has strong connections in all Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, which helped us with managing hotel bookings and other stuff
3. Drivers: total of 3 drivers, special thanks to Driver Pravi who accompanied us for 5 days he was nice and patient with the kids ( 2 young boys), all three drivers were very polite, and accurate with timings.
4. Car: A new, clean, well maintained, and air conditioned 7 seaters SUV just as promised.
5. Guides: Suri in Delhi, Zuhaib in Agra, Aditya in Jaipur, another guide for a couple of hours in fatehpur. All were kind and knowledgeable.
The best guide was Zuhaib, an honest, genuine and sincere man; we felt very comfortable in his company.
6. Safety: felt safe with Imran and his team during the trip and trusted them (keeping in mind that trusting people and safety (on life and belongings) is not easily guaranteed in that part of the world)!
Cons:
Probably it's the same allover tourism industry in North India:
1. Guided to specific touristic "factories" that make: jewelry, carpets, textile, spices which were exhibitions/ shops selling ridiculously high priced items and souvenirs for tourists, however they exhibit how things are made and produced which was interesting to know
Since we had plenty of time in hand we insisted on seeing and stopping by other local markets where we bought items with normal prices.
2. Tips: pointing out the tip thingy too many times, telling amounts of tips to be given to the doormen, to shoe keepers, to watchmen at the monuments etc...eventually this became stressful as we were instructed to give tips and it didn't come out of our good will anymore!
Bottom line:
Service provided was very good & as per the agreement.
We recommend Imran and his team if you want to visit the golden triangle
