Explore the Golden Triangle in 3 Days from Chandigarh - Find Stays & Events to Match Your Trip

Summary: Awesome experience in India. We did a very last minute tour booking and everything was great thanks to Manoj. Our driver Mukesh was always on time and flexible to our requirements. We really enjoyed all the information and insights provided by the guides in the three cities, as well as their willingness to take pictures for us take home a beautiful memory from the Golden Triangle. Would definitely book with them again!

Summary: This is a great tour with a great company. We have been using India Trip Designer and Manoj for our tours for almost 10 years. Most knowledgeable and most trustworthy guides. Great price and wonderful experience tailored to your needs.

Summary: Overall the trip was amazing! the tour guide was very informative and made the time enjoyable and accommodated to our needs.

Summary: Highly recommend India Trip Designer for the Golden Triangle Tour. Manoj our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took us to great stores for shopping.

Summary: Overall the tour has been really good. From the start it was very easy to communicate with the tour guides over what’s ap as to when they would be arriving to pick us up etc. The tour guides all spoke very good English and provided in-depth knowledge of the monuments. Both the driver and guides were very friendly and went over and above with helping us get a local SIM card and providing us with tips of what to when the tour finished. The hotels were very good and we especially liked our Jaipur hotel which had a lovely rooftop terrace to take in the sites of the city. Would recommend this company to friends and family coming to India.

Summary: Surandra was an excellent driver, who picked us up for the airport in Delhi, took us through Delhi and to Agra and Jaipur, and pointed out places of interest and photo opportunities along the way. When we told him we had to go back to Delhi (a much longer trip than he had planned), he arranged for another driver and even provided us with fruit for snacks. Our guide Balvir in Agra was very good, explaining not only the history of the places but also the surrounding culture and the tips for various other service people. He also took very good pictures and helped us skip lines. Our guide KC in Jaipur was friendly and helpful, but he repeated himself constantly to the point of annoyance. He also sometimes treated us (2 adult women) like children, warning us not to wander in the Amber Fort for fear we'd get lost, not listening when we said we wanted to spend much longer there, reading the museum plaques for us, and telling us to hold on and not use our phones during the gentle elephant ride. The guides did bring us to artisans and an elephant sanctuary where the owners tried hard to get us to buy things, and these stops were not on the itinerary. However, if you're firm and tell them no, you can leave right away, and if you're interested you can bargain them down to much lower than their starting price. This trip has a lot of driving (3 hours from Delhi to Agra, 5 hours from Agra to Jaipur), but it gives you a very good picture of Northern India as a whole; the city, town, countryside, and crazy traffic. We chose 3-star hotels, which still turned out to be much fancier than we anticipated. They took us to nice restaurants, which weren't so fancy as to be out of our price range. Overall, they were flexible with our requests. The trip was ultimately a good though rapid-pace experience of Northern India. If we had time, I would have liked to have spent a little more time at a few of the places, but it was a good choice for the time we had.

Summary: we were really happy about the tour program, eventhough we were travelling at summer when the temperature almost reach 50, but they can make us still enjoy all the program. It was efficient, and not draining our energy. we can still have pleasure resting time during the travel. All the guides were excellent, Jimmy with his wisdom and warmhearted, Ajay with his energy and sense of humour, also Kamal the brigthess and smartest that was able to answer all of our questions. The agent gave us good hotel, with strategic location. And it is very good that the head of the company also greet us in Agra. Last but not least, we have a good driver too, punctual, good driving skill, polite, funny also, Surandra. definetly will recommend the company and program to all of my friend and family. and maybe coming back again trying another program in another season.

Summary: We did a three day tour with India Trip Designer in mid-December 2018, covering Delhi, Agra/Taj Mahal and Jaipur. From the start Manoj, the owner of the company, was quick to respond to my query and flexible in adapting it to our needs. We always got a quick answer from him. Manoj designed the best, and efficient, way to see the Golden Triangle in only three days (two nights), which we thought would be impossible! Travelling as two girls first time in India, we much appreciated the good organisation of the trip. We have to particularly praise our fantastic driver, Bantu, who was with us from the moment we arrived to Delhi until the end of our tour. Bantu is very fun and pleasant company, extremely reliable and always in time. We always felt safe in the trip with him. We can't recommend him more! The tour was very well organised, the sightseeing and pauses in restaurants well thought through and chosen. We always had knowledgeable guides in each city. In Delhi our guide Sunny even has a degree in Indian and British history. The guides in all cities were attentive and knowledgeable - and they had an eye for taking good photographs. Just a minor confusion for us was that it seemed that some of guides expected a tip, which we had not prepared for, given the tours were part of our package. Perhaps the guests could be better advised on this and on an appropriate amount. The hotels we stayed were pleasant. Everything was booked for us against a small deposit, and the rest of the amount we could settle on our second day in Agra, flexibly in euros, dollars or rupees. A minor confusion happened in Jaipur where there seem to have been confusion among the organisers which hotel we were booked at. We recommend double checking in advance with Manoj the names and addresses of the hotels for each night. Overall, we enjoyed our tour very much and we had an incredible time with amazing people. The tour is very good value for money, and we found it was better priced than the tours offered by other providers and definitely well organised.

Summary: We took a last minute trip to India for a 3 day tour of the Golden Triangle. I contacted India Trip Designer based on other Tripadvisor reviews and Manoj responded quickly with all the required information and a fair price. Ramesh was our driver for the duration of the trip from Delhi airport pick up (5am) to Jaipur, Agra and back to Delhi. The shining star of our trip, Ramesh was very friendly, a safe driver and really put us at ease. He has been driving tourists around India for the last 20+ years and takes great pride in his job. All the places we stopped on route were clean and friendly with no pressure to spend money. Ramesh put in a lot of effort to make sure we were getting what we needed when we needed it, even stopping to get us water and bananas when we were out of local currency. If I was to travel to India again I would definitely contact Ramesh and will recommend him to our friends. Ramesh works incredibly long days (12hr +) and still always greeted us with a smile. The tour all in all was really well organized, we are not people who generally take tours but if you only have 3 days this is the most practical option and there is really nothing for you to organize except cash. The guides were overall very good and we are glad we had them, they also help shield you from the hawkers, with a guide you are not such an easy target. Take their advice and don’t initiate any conversation unless you are prepared to buy. If you want to help, donate money to a local charity. Make sure to do your research on the sights and know where you do/do not want to go to make sure you are getting the time where you want it. If you are not interested in shopping for gems or crafts definitely make it clear upfront so not to waste anyone’s time. We prefer to spend the time sightseeing. The 4* hotels were of a good standard, particularly in Agra we were delighted to get a room with a view of the Taj Mahal. It would have been nice to stay in a Jaipur hotel closer to the Pink City so that in the evening you can wander around that area, our hotel was not in an area of any interest so there was little to explore. Overall a great trip, highly recommend this company and particularly Ramesh. Georgina & Shane, Ireland/UAE

Summary: It was an exceptionally well planned trip by the organizers. Starting from the arrival at the airport , we felt safe and in control. Our driver “Surindar” was really good and safe driver. We felt really at ease with him at the wheels. He is very caring with the kids and really good human being. Guides at the each part of our trip were very knowledgeable and helped us from all the nagging vendors. Overall visit to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur with the help of Surindar and guides became really memorial event in our life. We will surely plan many more trip with you in future
