We had an amazing experience on the Golden Triangle tour! Our driver Mayur provided excellent service and helped us feel at home and safe while in India. He was punctual and highly respectful along the journey. The accomodation was generally good, although at times (rarely) the hotels struggled with their hot water systems and electricity blackouts for a couple of minutes. The Padila house stay in Jaipur was extremely good and was a highlight of the tour. Shout out to their welcoming family. The daily tours of the attractions were good and the tour guides were knowledgeable and all spoke English. Overall a very enjoyable trip, and Swastik was very easy to contact over WhatsApp.

I did the golden triangle tour with Varanasi and highly recommend if you want to explore the main highlights in India without hassle. The tour is very well organised (booked it less than 2 weeks before departure), communication with Karni is super fast, efficient and smooth. The pace is well balanced: sightseeing in the morning and resting/ driving in the afternoon. Hotels are quite nice; far from the city center but this is the norm in these tours everywhere. Guides and drivers are friendly, professional and punctual: - Mayur, my driver, was super respectful, thrusthworty and attentive, making me feel very safe all the time. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience suggesting changes to accommodate for better weather conditions and giving great tips of places to go/ eat. Top tier service! - Ashok Tiwari, my guide in Varanasi, was kind enough to proactively adjust the tour to accommodate my late flight departure. He is very knowledgeable about Varanasi history, culture and Hinduism and speaks perfect English - Krishan, my guide in Jaipur, will give you a class on Jaipur's history and monuments. He is also very transparent, explaining beforehand what you will see, making sure you are comfortable with the plan and allowing you options where he can - My guide in Agra was super sweet, caring and patient while I stopped every 2 seconds for photos. Made me feel very comfortable and also has top photography skills!

This was our first time in India and we booked very last minute. We are not normally “tour” people but felt it was the best way to make the most of our short time here. Mayur our driver was incredible. He drove us around the hectic streets calmly, was always friendly, and remembered every small detail to make our journey effortless as well as personalising our experience. He also recommended great spots for a relaxing night out or a morning lassi! Nothing was ever too much trouble. We had different guides at each city (Davendra, Chandan, Rheman & Krishan). Their knowledge not only of the historical sites, but also the best spots for photos, ticket queues and general information was invaluable. It is impossible to imagine being able to appreciate these beautiful cities without guides or a driver. The days were jam packed and there were a couple of long drives but this was all expected and didn’t detract from the experience. Highly recommended!!

My driver was very friendly, helpful and drives very well. Thank you Mr. Lakhan Singh for making my trip very easy, safe and enjoyable.

This tour was such an incredible experience that I will soon not forget! Everything from start to finish ran smoothly and I have learned so much! My driver Baggie became my trusted companion, as I was traveling alone, and took the best care of me as if I were family. The castle stays were simply beautiful, as were the two heritage hotels that were also a part of my tour. The tour cost adds up as most of the sites mentioned in the itinerary were not covered in my payment so make sure to read the fine print. Also, India is a big tipping culture so tour guides, bellman and every time you use a washroom you will pay, so be sure to take those extra costs into consideration.

We made very last minute plans to have a tour for our trip to India and Swastik Journeys was extremely cooperative in finding perfect tour for our time. Our drive, Amar Meena, was great and made sure we were always having a good. We are not usually tour people and our experience was very touristy but i couldn’t imagine trying to navigate transportation and accommodations of all of the place we visited individually. The itinerary could have been more clear as we quickly realized there were some discrepancies between our understanding of the provided itinerary and the plans for the day but it was never a big issue. Overall, very good experience for our first time in India. Would recommend for anyone trying to see a lot with a finite amount of time.

Overall we had an incredible trip, and were only able to see so much through this tour, it did mean some long drives on several days but this was expected. We loved being able to see both the city and the country side and managed to fit so many activities in. Was also great value for money overall. The pick ups and drops off were on time and the car was always clean and tidy and our driver very friendly. Some hotels in the big cities were a bit far out of the main city/town and we were told not to leave the hotel when we arrived at lunchtime with not much to do so this was a bit frustrating. The itinerary wasn’t always clear and was often moved around which lead to some frustration when we weren’t aware what the plan for the day was. Most hotels we went to also weren’t aware of how many of us there were or what excursions we were booked on, so had to move rooms around which took some time and was frustrating and also having a reduced version of excursions as the guides weren't in that day as there was no booking etc. It felt like this could have been resolved with a few phone calls. The local tour guides were nice but we often felt rushed around the monuments when we would have liked to have spent longer taking in the sights, other than at the Taj Mahal where we had a fantastic guide who was patient and knowledgeable. The visits were often cut short so as we could be taken to what we were told were factories or demonstrations but were in fact just shops and this was an attempt to get us to spend money due to the driver or guide getting a cut of our expenditure. This resulted in a lot of pressure selling and us parting with money when we didn’t really want to buy as we didn’t always have the capacity to spend the money being asked of us and this was not a comfortable experience. We were also not always allowed to choose our own restaurants and were taken to western or tourist spots by the local guides where food was more expensive. When we requested to eat elsewhere the guides would become visibly frustrated with us which was uncomfortable. Whilst we appreciated the care and consideration taken for our safety we often felt infantilised and parented and were asked to not leave our hotel for long periods at a time, and when we did it was reported back to our driver, which meant we felt like we missed out on being able to explore and were stuck with nothing to do for hours on end. Lastly, Our driver was lovely and friendly and as helpful as he could be, but communicating any real issues was challenging due to language constraints so we often felt out of the loop because the trip deviated from the terminator we had been provided and this became really stressful, we acknowledge that this wasn’t within his control and despite this he always did his up most to help us. Overall the trip really was wonderful and we saw and did such incredible things and we would still definitely recommend it but just tweaking this few things really would make it a 5* experience.

Had a great time on my 5 day golden triangle tour. The sights were incredible, my guides were great and my driver Bhagi was with me the whole way and was a great driver and very professional. I would recommend this tour.

We’ve had a great Royal Tour of India Trip with Swastik India Journeys. Communication before had was excellent. All the guides were very good. Our driver Mahendar Rao was excellent, a very safe driver, who looked out for us, was always punctual, his car was kept immaculate and he had very good English keeping us informed along the way. You get to see and experience some amazing sites. It’s a very busy tour and there are some long drives but worth it. Highly recommended.

This was a well organised tour with amazing sights and experiences. This tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in the real culture of Rajastan. We saw magnificent temples and palaces accompanied by knowledgeable and informative guides. Our hotel accommodation was really good. Our excellent driver, Mr Amar Meena, took great care of us. He was protective and thoughtful. We were able to sit back and soak up the scenery without any worries.

We saw some amazing sights and experienced a variety of activities. We stayed in great hotels including two palaces with beautiful grounds. Our tour guides were punctual, pleasant and very informative. Our driver Mr Amar Meena was excellent. He was caring, considerate, well organized and kept us entertained. We felt very safe and protected with him. A great tour to experience bustling, colorful India.

Everything from start to finish was perfect. Our driver, Gree, was amazing. The car always clean, he was always on time (sometimes we weren't!!) and he was so friendly and helpful. He took us to some off beaten track to see things such as the site of the 1857 first revolution against the english army, a fantastic archeologico site, a camel dealer and a huge cow breeding farm. He explained lots of Hindu customs etc and was in all a very interesting person. The hotels were simply gorgeous especially the royal palace stays. A fantastic trip in a fantastic country. I would definitely recommend this tour company because they were so helpful from the moment we decided to make the trip. they changed dates, hotels etc without any bother whatsoever.

Had a great time travelling from Delhi, Agra and then Rajasthan for 15 nights. Each day was a different city and included two days at the Pushkar camel fair. I as really surprised at the differences in each city and even the small towns of Bikaner and Mandawa proved very interesting. The trip was made extra special by our excellent driver Mahendra Rao. He was very safe driving and each day arrived punctually with a clean car. He was always informative about the places we were going and was also a good laugh. We had an excellent trip and would recommend Swastik, and Mahendra to our friends. Thanks Karni and Mahendra Rao.

We did the golden triangle with Swastic tours. Our driver Ammar Meena was an excellent driver and took care of us all of the way he needs a commendation for this. His driving abilities in the chaotic traffic was impeccable. My husband got sick and he offered to get a doctor for us which was very much appreciated Swastic is a very good company to travel through India with. They contract local guides and they provide detail at the sites of interest. We had very good guides except for the contracted guide in Delhi who did not appear to be interested in providing us with detail about the sites, all others were fantastic. I would recommend Swastic to all those who wish to travel to India the food accommodation and friendly of the people Made our holiday thank you very much Swastic

Really enjoyed trip. Driver Himmat has been very help and friendly, and went out his way to make the trip interesting, including taking us to some less well known, but amazing places on the way. Pollution in New Delhi was bad, but that's not the tour operator's fault.
