Real Stories From Global Travellers
Read verified experiences from travellers who trusted our chauffeurs across North and South India.
As first-time visitors to India from London, we were initially nervous about the chaotic traffic and navigating between Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. From the moment Vikram met us at Delhi airport at 11 PM with a personalized name board and cold bottles of water, all our stress vanished. The Toyota Innova Crysta was spotless, with freezing cold air conditioning and phone chargers. Vikram was polite, punctual to the minute, and his driving was exceptionally smooth and defensive. He got us to the Taj Mahal at 5:45 AM right before the gates opened, giving us incredible photos without the crowds. Never once did he pressure us into souvenir shops. Truly a 5-star experience that made our holiday unforgettable.
We spent 10 days traversing Delhi, Mandawa, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Udaipur, and Jaipur. Rajesh wasn't just our driver; he was our guardian angel across Rajasthan. His deep knowledge of highway rest stops with clean, western-style washrooms was a blessing. When my wife felt mild altitude fatigue in Udaipur, Rajesh immediately coordinated with the hotel and brought fresh bottled coconut water. The vehicle was washed inside and out every single morning. Fair, transparent pricing with all tolls and permits included as promised. We have already recommended India Tour By Car & Driver to our colleagues at Northwestern.
The private chauffeured tour gave us the ultimate flexibility that large tour buses could never provide. In Varanasi, Sunil coordinated our private evening Ganga Aarti boatman and morning sunrise rowboat without us having to haggle with touts on the ghats. On the long drives, he shared fascinating insights into Indian culture, festivals, and rural village life. Booking online from Sydney was seamless with their Delhi dispatch team via WhatsApp, answering all our questions within minutes. Outstanding service!
