Me and a fellow female friend are looking to go to India for about 1 week in October. I definitely want to see the Taj Mahal and I believe the golden triangle seems to be a pretty popular tour. Does anyone have any company tour recommendations? We have looked into GAP tours. Would prefer to use a local company there if we could. We are fairly indifferent between having a private tour for the 2 of us versus group tour (anyone have suggestions/preferences between the two?)

It’s a long way for a week, you need a minimum 10 days,

Nah, just go back again. I did Japan for 5 days then went back for 2 months when I had the time. Travel with whatever time you have!

Thanks. Unfortunately we are only able to go for about 1 week

TravQuest has amazing packages to India...contact Nabila 6479905710

Thank you

I went with Gate 1. They were good.

Totally need more than a week! I would recommend at least 2...you're going so far

I've heard good things about G Adventures https://www.gadventures.com/trips/golden-triangle/AHGT/

I went to India for 2 weeks last time I was there, but my sister only joined for 1 of those weeks. We did the Golden Triangle together. Planned it all ourselves. Yes, more time would be great when you're going so far, but my sister had a fabulous time and saw some amazing places in only a week

My husband’s cousin is a tour-guide based in Delhi. He’s great! I will find out the company he is with.

Yay! That would be great Vaishali! Thanks!

We hired a driver!! It was perfect!!

I was there in 2017. We rented a car driver, guide for the day and hotel. It was worth every penny. Do not go to the Taj without a guide.
If you are interested, I will look for the contact.

Did you just do day trips from Delhi? Where else did you travel around?

Contact me if you’re still stuck. We took out family and did top to bottom (Amritsar to kanyakumari) in less than a month. You don’t NEED tons of time but you’ll WANT it once you’re there.

If you use him, tell him Harriet , tour guide(Canadian) and Ross (N.Z). recommend him. Ask for the driver Dill. He was amazing.
Let me know if you need more information. A week in the triangle will give you a good taste.
Nice to see 1 factory. They don’t believe you won’t buy anything. Be firm.

Julia I sent him an email saying that you may contact him. we spent 5 days there. He also found us good clean reasonable accommodations. We did a circle. Slept in Jaipur and Deli.

We were in a small b&b in Delhi. They arranged a taxi and driver. It cost little compared to what we would have paid if we had booked a tour from here.

GOWAY Travel excellent for tours

Greenland journey. Check the website. We used their services last year. Safe and curtious. Strongly recommend them.

Just a tip for the Taj Mahal. If you are doing a drive from Delhi to Agra do it in the early morning. You will get to enjoy the place with less crowd and it's a lot safer than making a night drive.

Banyan Tours

Following im.going on December for about 2 weeks

Try G Tours they have a lot that go to India and their prices seem good

Been to India twice, always recommend you book through your hotel, they offer packages based On your price range and is always cheaper than booking from here. I usually land in Mumbai and make further plans from there- one week is definitely not enough!
