About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- mikiko770 contributionsEnjoyable guided experience of Humayun Tomb at our paceExcellent historical and cultural narrative. Initially took some time to figure out how to use it, but after a few 'stops', got a handle of it and enjoyed the experience. We were able to listen at our pace and felt privacy too.Written 21 June 2023
- hnewburn0 contributionsGreat tour, app a little finickyThe app doesn't accept foreign credit cards, so bought through TripAdvisor. Within 20 minutes, I got a code to use in the app, worked. Downloaded the w asking tour and was off and running. The tour itself was very good, but the app had issues with location and skipping certain spots and was a lot more finicky than voicemap. But I would use it in the futureWritten 22 April 2023
- 547veerlev0 contributionsDont miss this app, it's amazing!This app is amazing. Just make sure to download it via wifi, before going on tour. We didnt do so for ajanta and as there was no 4g reception, we could not use the guide. Luckily there is an virtual option, so we will retake the tour from home. I also had some installation issues, but was the customer service and tech team helped me super quick and well. They were so kind and helpful! At Ellora we finally were able to use the audio guide and we enjoyed it so much. We could do the tour at our own time, while listening to this pleasant voice. We got lots of fun facts and historical stories. Thanks to this app we didn't need an expensive guide and we were able to look at everything on our own time. We used it at fort Daulatabad as well. Be awere before going there, the steps are endless. But yet again the audio guide made this trip richer and more interesting then it would have been without. Thanks hopon India!Written 7 September 2022
- OnAir019860992020 contributionsGreat experience of exploring the pink city - Jaipur. Highly recommended.The old pink city of Jaipur has its own kind of mesmerising vibe. This tour has helped me explore the city's food, culture, history, music, crafts, architecture, etc in an immersive way. I highly recommend this tour, especially to solo travellers in Jaipur. The entire narration is very interesting, knowledgeable, and engaging. I loved the overall experience.Written 18 July 2022
- Resort353268243890 contributionsAdore this app!This is an amazing app! I think we learned more than we would have on a tour with a person . This app is more informative. This app made my visit easy and fun. Great descriptionsWritten 13 July 2022
- OnAir019860992020 contributionsAmazing experience of exploring the real Banaras.This audio guided tour by HopOn India helped me explore Banaras through the city's zig-zag lanes which are quite chaotic yet calm and beautiful. I could experience the magical vibe of Banaras through this walk. I was able to explore the city's great food, it's festivals, history, culture, and more. The tour is a complete package of city exploration and I would definitely recommend it to others.Written 8 May 2022
- apurvgupta120 contributionsGreat for solo travelersI went to the Elephanta caves solo and I must say this app is a great companion and guide for a solo traveller. The tour was very well narrated and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the lesser known stories. With HopOn, you can explore the place at your own pace and learn more about whatever interests you. The best part is that the narration isn't boring, but manages to hold your attention for the entire time. Will definitely recommend to those who like solo travel.Written 1 May 2022
- Manvikapoor0 contributionsThe audio guide that you need !Aurangabad, in itself, is a hidden gem & the HopOn audio guide was another one that we used to explore it. Succinct and accurate - the app made us experience the history of this fort like it was all happening in front of us. The citations made in the audio are apt, you can easily walk through fort and easily spot what is being referenced. There is a long walk before you actually hit fort walls. The audio narrates details on what went on in the prior periods that led to current day fort the way it is. The overall content is rich, recorded in a clean and easy to understand manner. The best part - walking through the area with your audio tour on, you don’t need any other companion. The app is quite easy to use and the tour can be pre- downloaded in case you risk losing network. I look forward to exploring their other tours as well!Written 30 April 2022
- Folklore S0 contributionsA walk through historyReally lovely way to explore the town on foot, through ther little lanes which are filled with life and activityWritten 28 April 2022
- TusharG2840 contributionsBest audio tour!The Jain caves in Ellora are the newest among all the caves and are located at some distance from the other Hindu and Buddhist caves. The Hop on India tour for the caves helped us go to the most significant caves among the multiple caves in the complex. The tour was well detailed and easy to navigate and follow. We took the tour which was for the entire complex ( Hindu+ Jain + Buddhist) and took us about 4 hours to complete including breaks. There is an individual Jain cave tour option which is more detailed. The level of detail, narration and convenience was far better than any tour ( with guide or audio) I have taken in the past. Must have for a great visit to the complex.Written 2 April 2022

- _ab_sarnath0 contributionsWeek narrated audio guide of SarnathComprehensive tour Gave a good idea about Sarnath and Buddha's life Would have preferred a shorter version if available Very safe in Covid times because no person guide involved Heard it before i went. Helped me when i was thereWritten 30 March 2022
- OmJaiswani0 contributionsExcellent Tour GuideIt is an excellent audio tour guide! The narrations are comprehensive and lucid! Even minute details about a location are covered making it more enjoyable...Written 14 May 2020
- Mani19680 contributionsOverall Excellent ExperienceI enjoyed the trip thoroughly. The story has been narrated with minute details. Though due to my poor mobile network I lost the track in between, but reconnected later and completed the tour. This app's narration added value to my trip to Qutub Minar. I am sure HOPON would continue this good work and in the near future, millions of people would be benefitted from this app.Written 23 January 2020
- Ben29a0 contributionsSolo discoveryIn a city difficult to navigate,these walking tours offer an alternative to group sessions and taxi rides. Well positioned across the city, easy to reach they offer guidance into communities and social life that is difficult to discover and find out. Great app. My colleague running an Apple phone however had difficulties with location and was unable to use the app altogether.Written 29 September 2019

For someone who's a wallflower like me, these audio guided walking tours by HopOn India are just perfect. These tours, which are well-researched and engaging, also becomes important for the tourists post Covid. Without any dependency on Tour Guides, one can explore the places themselves. A solo trip to Banaras was my best decision.
