The guides and drivers assigned were fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable and in quickly getting to know us, made excellent suggestions to revise some of the itinerary to get even more activities in. We would highly recommend it except the Hilton in Jaipur was awful despite it being labeled as a 5 star property. Rooms were dank, smelly, and dirty. Guides were mortified when we told them our experience there for the one night. Beyond that all was superb.

A fantastic 4 day trip. Our driver Mr Singh deftly navigated the intense Indian traffic and the hotels were truly 5 star luxury. A seamless flow from tour operator- would definitely recommend

Now a week back from our trip, we are still enthusiastic about the country. Since we didn't have much time, we decided on the 4-day trip with Crystal India Holidays. We were a bit skeptical beforehand. Due to the few but extremely good reviews, we were positively surprised day after day. We couldn't have planned the entire trip better.
We were contacted in advance by WhatsApp by the company boss, where we could once again make special requests such as single beds or a hotel request. These requests were met without exception.
2 days before departure to India, we were given the name and telephone number of our driver Sharwan.
At this point I have to give Sharwan a huge compliment, I hope the company's operators read this. We couldn't have had a better employee for this tour. He led us through the hustle and bustle of the streets with a calmness that was infectious. We didn't feel unsafe for a second. Our every wish was fulfilled and our safety was always taken care of. Best example: We really wanted to drink some freshly pressed sugar cane juice. Sharwan had the street stall operator clean everything and supervised every move so that we didn't have any stomach problems.
This is just one example of how much he looked after us. I can only recommend that everyone choose him (Sharwan) as their driver.
We also had a German-speaking guide assigned to us every day. They were all very competent and helped us a lot. We got on particularly well with Wene (New Delhi) and Akil Beg (Agra) and had a great time.
Ranthambore itself is a bit out of the way and the drive from Agra takes about 7 hours. It's quite a long time but it's worth it! We were able to see 2 tigers up close. However, only one safari is planned, which means the risk of not seeing any tigers is very high. However, we could have easily added a second safari in the afternoon and postponed our arrival in Jaipur at short notice. We really appreciated this flexibility.
Time is very short in Ranthambore and many other travelers spend 3 days there, but for us it worked out very well because of the tiger sighting.
In addition to the 80 wild tigers, there are also 100 wild leopards. Unfortunately we weren't lucky with the leopards.
In terms of safety, we didn't feel unsafe for a second. The hotels make sure that tourists don't leave the hotel at night. But this generally applies to all hotels on the route.
We will definitely recommend the trip to friends and relatives and would always use Crystal India Holidays as a tour operator. Simply great!
Our tip for those interested: 46°C in May is not as bad as you think because the humidity is very low. On the other hand, there are very few foreign tourists. (In May it is mainly Indians who travel to the Golden Triangle)
Only constructive criticism: In the week before arrival it would be nice to be contacted again by WhatsApp or email to have everything confirmed. This is just an optimization for a very well-functioning company!

This amazing tour exceeded all my expectations! I was a solo traveler and wanted to see the highlights of India in a short amount of time and this option with a private driver was perfect. My driver, Rakesh, was the best! He was so knowledgeable and friendly and made sure I got all the photos I wanted :) I felt safe and very comfortable. He went out of his way to make my vacation fun. All the hotels (I chose the 5 star option) were just incredible especially the one at the tiger safari. It was the Ama Ghati Resort and I felt like a celebrity there! The room and grounds were lavish and they even put on a nightly show. All of the places that we visited were spectacular. The Taj Mahal at sunrise with all the monkeys along the path was beautiful as were so many of the other monuments. I also recommend the optional photography package at the Taj Mahal - what a great way to capture the memories. Yes, it was unbelievably hot (May tour) so I appreciated the option to alter the schedule at times to do less walking. My favorite day was at Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve - I was very blessed to see 2 tigers!! The safari guide, Devraj Singh, was also amazing - he would even help us get great photos through he binoculars. Some other highlights for me were getting to ride an elephant up to the fort in Jaipur - what an experience! It was once in a lifetime and I was glad to learn about all the ways they care for the elephants. I also loved the rickshaw ride - how fun! I appreciated the short photograph stop at monkey temple too! I enjoyed the drives also - it was many hours but it went by quickly as I watched the countryside and all the cows and other animals mixed in with all the people and colorful trees. Rakesh took me to a nice souvenir store (which was helpful because the street sellers were a little overwhelming for me) and places to watch demonstrations such as block printing (which I also got to practice). In addition, all of the city guides that coordinated with us were very kind and enthusiastic about sharing India's history and culture. Each one would take photos for me and answer questions. I would highly recommend this tour - I was able to see and do everything I wanted to do and more!

This tour was fantastic and I recommend it to anyone who wants to do the Golden Triangle. It was very well organised and everything is centred around you seeing all the keys sights. The guides were amazing but special mention to our fantastic driver (Surinder) who looked after us. It was very hot and you cannot put a price on your driver collecting after each sight seeing stop. I recommend you taking the 5 star hotels as they were amazing.

The entire trip was amazing. The guides were very knowledgeable polite and helpful. Our driver, RK Mishra was amazing! He made our trip great. It would not have been the same without him. He provided great service and was always there for us. The hotels (5 star service) were great as well. I have NO complaints at all! Thank you for providing a great experience!

I had a really great time on this tour! I was a solo traveler, in India for business and decided to stay a few extra days to see some sights. I felt safe with the driver and he got me everywhere safely. Guides were personable and knowledgeable about the area. I would be willing to take another tour via this operator when I’m in the area in the future.
Pros: Taj Mahal is breathtaking in the morning. Saw many tigers at the safari in a small open air safari truck with 3 others (experience may vary), amber fort. (Unfortunately the elephants were not running due to Hindu new year), Amangati hotel at the national park
Cons: the highway restaurant they the driver takes you to. Avoid if you can. Food stinks and tastes old. Staff at the Radisson hotel Jaipur constantly after tips and tack on random added fees when you check in. I was asked to cough up 25 usd for a “elite room upgrade” that promised me I would be getting a larger room with a tub. I was not impressed with the room. Lotus temple in Delhi doesn’t seem to fit the vibe of their other places you are taken to. I wish admission fees were included in the price. I didn’t not like having to hand money to my tour guide in the middle of the street so they could get my ticket.
Overall a great and memorable trip. Recommend for travelers who want to sit back with all sights taken care of.

A totally amazing tour! Our driver Raj was so nice and a great driver through the tight streets of India. Every tour guide was great and so friendly. The sights, food and people were all perfect. Celebrating Holi in Jaipur was by far one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you so much!

An incredible experience, would highly recommend. Everything about this tour exceeded our expectations. Our driver Monu was excellent and highly attentive: always early for pick ups and available to assist and support us throughout the day. All the local guides were fantastic and very insightful. We stayed in a fabulous range of 5 star hotels with great food and service. The car journeys were long but we were warned about this in advance. The itinerary is as described. Everything we had hoped for and more. We brought 12,000 rupees with us and that covered entrance fees, lunches, tips and extra bits. Couldn’t fault this trip at all- the best way to see Indian highlights in a short space of time.
