"Inaugral Indian adventure..."

We booked our first Indian adventure with Indian Excursions as we simply found the whole thing too overwhelming to organise independently, despite being seasoned travellers.

From the outset Maddie was really helpful and really 'got' what we were looking for. She was flexible to our requirements and responsive to our needs.

We stayed at some wonderful hotels, had once in a lifetime experiences (seeing a tiger and her cub in the wild, traditional Indian block painting) and importantly felt safe and supported every step of the way. Shiv was our main contact when we were there and was constantly on hand to deal with any issues (these were minor!).

I think the price point is right to reflect the level of service, I genuinely wouldn't even consider booking with another company if I was to return to India (which we certainly will!).

100% recommend.

"Exceptional adventures in India...."

I was going to be in India for a family wedding and decided to tour Rajasthan prior to the wedding. As a woman traveling alone, I had many questions and concerns. After researching many travel agencies/tour companies I chose Indian Excursions because of their overall professionalism (prompt and detailed responses to questions, organization and presentation of itinerary and travel materials, very individualized service, and reasonable pricing).

Maddie and Shiv, along with my tour guide and drivers made sure that my Rajasthan adventure was everything I had dreamt of. The hotels we chose were exceptional, within my budget, and provided unique experiences. At each hotel, my guide would accompany me to check-in and follow up to ensure that my luggage had arrived and my accommodations were okay. My daily itinerary was well prepared but flexible in case I wanted to add or remove something. Each day my driver had plenty of bottled water and snacks in the car. They even had sun shades in all my cars upon my request. While on my journey, I wanted to visit a hair salon so I emailed Maddie, who promptly engaged Shiv. We spoke briefly and before I knew it, he had made an appointment for me at the salon of my choice. The Indian Excursions team saw to every detail and made my trip effortless and exceptional.
I will work with Maddie and Shiv on my next trip to India my and highly recommend Indian Excursions!

"From the moment we were met by Shiv at…"

From the moment we were met by Shiv at Delhi Airport to ten days later when we departed we experienced a delicious taste of India by this highly efficient Travel Company. Our Driver Madan kept us safe which was a miracle! The Itinerary suggested to us was just perfect and all the guides were expert on the cities we visited. This is company we would not hesitate to recommend to our family and friends - and we already have! Cannot fault their service and attention to detail!!

"Thank you for a wonderful adventure!"

Madeline, Shiv and all of their team were fantastic to work with as we planned and enjoyed our trip to India. They were with us every step of the way through planning and travel, were very accessible and supportive, and provided wonderful local representatives and guides in all the locations we visited. The rep who met us at the airport in Jodhpur insisted on getting us to the palace museum before it closed, gave us a tour, and made some wonderful local restaurant recommendations. Farooq, our guide in Jaipur, helped us to experience the history and culture of this beautiful city, showed us out of the way places and hidden gems, and was a master at lining up the perfect photography shots! Our driver, Mohan, was always ready for us with a smile and would magically appear whenever we needed him.We'd definitely recommend Indian Excursions to friends planning travel to Rajasthan!

"Wonderful service and delivery"

Wonderful service and delivery. You are treated like a guest from start to finish.

"My first visit to India"

I travelled to Radjasthan with a woman friend, both of us in our 70s. In the first instance we had contacted a well known travel company in London who specialised in personalised tours. Then we heard about Indian Experiences from my daughter who had travelled with them earlier in the year.
Indian Experiences came up with an excellent itinerary which fitted in well with our plans and wishes. They put together the whole trip and were flexible to make any changes we required.
The organisation before our arrival was clear and comprehensive. From the moment of our arrival we were perfectly looked after by Shiv and the team. We had an excellent driver, extremely important in the very individual Indian driving conditions, and very competent, and pleasant English speaking guides. We were met at every new venue by an Indian Experiences rep. Everything was made easy for us, so we could enjoy our visit to the maximum.
Just a small example of Indian Excursions attention to detail. While at the Lake Palace in Udaipur, we opted to take the Sunset Lake Cruise. While all other hotel guests packed on to crowded launches, we had a boat to ourselves. It made us feel very special.

"Indian Excursions Review"

We recently spent 3 weeks in India travelling from Delhi to Agra and then through Rajasthan (Ranthanmbore, Jaipur, Jodphur and Udaipur) before finally slowing down in Goa. All was booked through Indian Excursions.
Madeliene (Maddie) was our first point of contact. From start to finish Maddie was completely across all of our requests and enquiries, coming back to us quickly and with detailed, well thought out responses, including often anticipating our needs before we even knew what they were.
Maddie was aware that it was our 20 year anniversary and had taken the trouble to arrange some lovely surprises along the way.
Shiv was at Delhi airport to greet us, along with Madan who was to be our driver for the next two weeks. Shiv saw us settled into our hotel and then became our point of contact for any questions/ assistance we needed. We did have a couple of queries during our stay and again Shiv was very responsive. He also reached out a number of times to check in.
We had great guides throughout - each of them local to the relevant city and were an absolute wealth of information with a real passion for their home. In a couple of destinations we changed the itinerary at the last minute and they were completely flexible.
Madan, our driver, was a real star and was a great companion throughout - introducing us to little insights and sharing his knowledge from his experiences across the region.
Suffice to say, we have had the most wonderful, enriching holiday that has become the trip of a lifetime. Words do not describe the breadth and depth of experiences we shared.
A massive thank you to Maddie, Shiv, Madan and the team, we cannot thank you highly enough and would recommend Indian Excursions to all.

"Very well organized Rajasthan tours"

Very well organized Rajasthan tours. We stayed at the Taj Palace hotels in Jodhpur, Udaipur and Jaipur which were truly Five star in every sense-hotel amenities, rooms, restaurants and very friendly hotel staff. The Indian Excursion Company arranged our stay at these hotels along with airport transfer, visit to the cities, helpful guides and comfortable air-conditioned vehicles. People were very courteous, eager to help and willing to mould our trips according to our needs and desires.
The price was appropriate for the level of services provided and payment methods were convenient

"It was an AMAZING adventure!!!"

It was an AMAZING adventure. All of the arrangements were perfect, our drivers the BEST, great guides ( very knowledgeable and spoke English very well). Our accommodations were wonderful ! Maddie and Shiv do such a great job in all aspects of the planning and following-through of the plans! I highly recommend using Indian Excursions Co. for a perfect adventure in Rajasthan! My son and daughter travelled with them a few months before my trip, and also had a fantastic experience with them!

"Dream Come True Vacation"

Ever since the age of 10 , I have been in love with the beauty and story behind the Taj Mahal. As I grew, so did my appreciation for India's rich history and religious practices, all wrapped up in a glorious kaleidoscope of color and artistic detail. After 58 years, I was finally able to experience India first hand, with my sister Patricia, thanks to the amazing team at Indian Excursions!
Madelaine spent countless hours setting up a suggested itinerary, based on our personal wants and needs. She gradually customized it to fit our budget, without sacrificing or compromising the quality or caliber of hotels, activities, or personal comfort.
Once we arrived in New Delhi, Shiv took responsibility for logistics- overseeing transportation, transfers and time management. Each and every driver, tour guide and hotel "welcoming committee" member added to our feeling of safety, security and satisfaction.
As a hospitality veteran ( former innkeeper of Cedar Crest Inn, located in Asheville, North Carolina), I know first hand and appreciate what it takes to provide such a high standard of excellence. All of the Indian Excursions team members exceeded our expectations, turned dreams into reality and left us with priceless memories to cherish for a lifetime.Thank you so much!
