India Vacation Review: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Cochin, Munnar, Presidential Palace Tour, 17-Day Trip

We had a wonderful trip as a result of the care and attention to detail shown by Zicasso’s travel specialist and his team. We visited Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Cochin, and Munnar. We had a total of 17 days in India, which included three flights. For us, it was a stress-free trip. A representative and driver always met us at the airport, even if the flight was delayed. The drivers were amazing and always made us feel safe.

While on our trip, we requested a lunch reservation at a hotel that only allowed guests onto the property (we were not staying there) and we requested a tour of the Presidential Palace in Delhi. A reservation was secured at the hotel and we had a wonderful tour of the Presidential Palace. Both experiences went above and beyond.

We would highly recommend the travel specialist and his team to anyone considering visiting India. It will be a trip we will never forget.

India Tour Review: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Cochin, Munnar, Periyar, Ranthambore, Keoladeo, Alleppey, Kayaking, Hiking, Birdwatching, Wildlife, 18-Day Trip

My wife and I spent 18 days in India, nine in the north and nine in the south. We worked with Zicasso’s travel company on the design of the itinerary, which turned out to be great. The trip was spectacular. All of our drivers and guides were on time and at the correct location for meeting us. We never had to wait for them. All of the guides spoke English, some a bit better than others. The vehicles were air-conditioned and comfortable.

We loved South India a bit more than the north because it was much cleaner and greener, with more wildlife. Cochin, Munnar, and Periyar National Park are beautiful! In the north, we went to Ranthambore National Park and did see a tiger, leopard, and sloth bear in three safaris. It is worth it to go to Delhi for a day, as well as the Taj Mahal and Agra, although these cities are very crowded and dirty. It is cool to see all the cows in the streets. We also recommend Keoladeo National Park for birds and other wildlife. If there was a destination that we would avoid if we had to do it all over again, it would be Jaipur. The city is huge, grimy, and loud, with not much greenery or trees.

India, Bhutan Travel Review: Old Delhi, Taj Mahal, Varanasi, Ganges, Rishikesh, Paro, Tigers Nest Monastery, 17-Day Trip

Zicasso’s tour operator was a great planning and execution partner. Their guidance during planning was spot-on and the trip plan they created for us was almost exactly what we were hoping for.

During the planning, we had a lot of unknowns and imprecise aspirations. The tour operator always offered informed observations and our trip plan was modified as a result, always for the better.

During the execution of the trip, the tour operator was in constant touch to ensure any glitches or changes were being addressed and managed. They were completely supportive, available, and helpful.

The arrangements they made for us met all our requirements. The accommodations met our standards and the guiding and escort services were exemplary, with very capable, caring, and informed guides at each location. The travel-support services, cars, drivers, and welcoming representative at each arrival point were far better than we expected or hoped for. The travel execution team we had was just great.

The tour operator was very mindful of delivering to us an experience that reflected the Indian culture and the full Indian experience, both today and historically.

In our opinion, we do not think that they really could have done anything better than they did. As a result, we give them a full five-star rating, with no hesitation in any respect.

India Trip Review: Delhi, Varanasi, 5 Days

We had to end our 23-day trip on day five since my wife fell and fractured her hip. The first five days of the trip were wonderful. We had great drivers and tour guides, and our hotel in Delhi was great.

Zicasso’s travel specialist and the tour team gave us outstanding support and made arrangements to help us get back to New York for my wife's hip replacement. This tour company is one of the best tour companies I have dealt with. You do not know how good a tour company is until you have a major problem. To our travel specialist, thank you for arranging a great tour and helping us.
