New Delhi Monipäiväiset kiertomatkat

Opas oli erittäin perehtynyt jokaiseen kohteeseen, ja opin paljon uutta. Kuljettaja ajoi turvallisesti, joten Intian kaoottisessakin liikenteessä oli suhteellisen turvallista matkustaa kyydissä. Kuten tosin jo etukäteen tiesimmekin, aikataulu oli hieman tiukka ja automatkoja oli paljon, mikä teki olon väsyneeksi. Suosittelen osallistumaan retkelle niin, että ennen sitä ja sen jälkeen on hyvin aikaa levätä.

All the hassles of arranging transportation are completely solved. Meeting my driver, Sanjay, was even more wonderful than visiting the Taj Mahal. The driver stayed at a nearby accommodation and spent three days with me. Not only did he take me to my destinations, but he also took me to recommended restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at whatever time I preferred. While I ate, he waited nearby for me. To me, he wasn't just a driver; he was my travel companion in India. Of course, his safe driving skills were also flawless. At the sightseeing spots, I requested Japanese-speaking guides. The guides were different for Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, and each of them is a local who grew up in their respective city. All of them have deep knowledge of history and architecture, and their Japanese communication skills were completely fine. I traveled alone, and I think that 23,000 yen for all of this is unbelievably cheap. To mention a drawback, there are many visits to local shops that are not on the itinerary. It is fun to look at folk crafts, but being pressured to buy them each time is honestly a hassle. If those visits were just stops, that would be one thing, but visits to some famous sites were cut as a result. For example, we didn't visit Humayun's Tomb because there wasn't enough time and on the grounds that it looks similar to the Taj Mahal. I almost had Itimad-ud-Daulah skipped for the same reason, but I spoke up and had him take me there. As for Jaipur, I didn't visit any of the four places on the itinerary. I think this was partly because I added the elephant village experience option. However, it was nice that I was able to visit Amer Fort, which wasn't in the original plan. The tour company probably builds the schedule flexibly, taking into account traffic congestion caused by local festivals. While I am deducting one star for these drawbacks, the original value for money is so incredible that it feels like a six-star experience, so I am ultimately completely satisfied with five stars. Come to think of it, being asked to post a TripAdvisor review every single day was also a bit of a hassle. On that platform, I mainly wrote reviews about the guides.

Meillä oli upea Kultainen kolmio -kierros. Shamin, Delhin oppaamme, oli asiantunteva, ystävällinen ja kärsivällinen. Hän jakoi Delhin historiaa ja kulttuuria mielenkiintoisella tavalla ja teki vierailustamme nautinnollisen. Zeeshan, Agrassa oppaamme, oli ammattitaitoinen ja erittäin asiantunteva Taj Mahalista ja Agrasta. Hänen selityksensä ja tarinansa auttoivat meitä arvostamaan näitä uskomattomia monumentteja entistä enemmän. Hän otti todella kauniita kuvia kuin ammattilainen. Monis Ali, Jaipurin oppaamme, oli todella poikkeuksellinen ja kierroksemme kohokohta. Matkailun tohtorina hänen intohimonsa tiedon jakamiseen oli selvää alusta alkaen. Hän herätti Jaipurin historian, arkkitehtuurin ja kulttuurin eloon kiehtovilla yksityiskohdilla ja inspiroivilla tarinoilla ja auttoi meitä valokuvien kanssa. Ja kiitos kuljettajallemme Sanjulle, joka oli aina täsmällinen, luotettava ja mielellään jakoi tietoa Intiasta. Erittäin suositeltavaa!

Loistava matka, jolla näki kätevästi Delhin, Agras ja Jaipurin kohokohdat. Selkeä kommunikaatio, arvostin joustavuutta ja koordinointia. Pravesh ajoi hyvin paikasta toiseen. Jokaisen alueen opas oli informatiivinen ja avulias, kiitos Prakashille, Shohilille ja Muhammedille. Suosittelen tätä aktiviteettia.

Agran matkan opas on mahtava! Hän auttoi meitä ottamaan hyviä kuvia ja hän on erittäin asiantunteva historiasta ja yritti majoittaa meitä parhaansa mukaan. Hän saa jopa välinpitämättömän mieheni puhumaan! 🤣 Suosittelen lämpimästi 😊💯

Taj Mahalin kierros Imranin kanssa oli mahtava, hän oli erittäin asiantunteva opas.

very accommodating tour guide, knowledgeable in the history, knows how to take good pictures, and where to eat delicious food. Overall we really enjoyed the tour! 💞

I had to do this tour solo because my friend could not make the tour with me. I was pleasantly surprised by how great the tour has been organised. I truly enjoyed the experience of going to all the spots visited during this tour especially the spots in Agra. Every spots are maintained very well and to top it off the guide for the Agra's tour, Ashiya, really has the in depth knowledge about the history and the uniqueness of the tourist attractions. Not only that I enjoyed the experience but I also learned a lot during this tour. The driver was top notch as I felt so comfortable during all the short and long travel between each destination. He was kind enough to drop me off to my final destination of choice before going to the airport. The only spot that I didn't enjoy is the Keoladeo bird sanctuary but it's only because it was hot that day and I had to walk a lot. Overall the tour has been one of my highlight holiday this year.
