Hello Shaan,
Now that we are back home, I’ve been reflecting on how diverse and fascinating this journey across India was.
Starting in Mumbai was the perfect introduction—vibrant, full of life, and unlike any city we had experienced before. From there, visiting Ajanta and Ellora was something truly special. The scale of history and craftsmanship in those caves is hard to put into words—it’s something you really need to stand in front of to appreciate.
As we moved into Rajasthan, the experience shifted again. The forts, architecture, and atmosphere of each city felt rich with stories. Every place had its own character, yet everything connected so well across the journey.
What made the trip especially comfortable was how smoothly everything was arranged. Transfers, guides, and timing all felt well coordinated without ever being restrictive.
We also really appreciated the drivers and guides throughout. They were professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of our pace, which made a big difference on a journey covering so many regions.
Thank you for putting together such a thoughtfully designed itinerary. It allowed us to experience different sides of India in a way that felt complete, yet never overwhelming.
Best regards,
DanielDaniel Weber, Germany

Hello Shaan, I’ve been meaning to write this since we returned, because our South India journey has stayed with us in a very special way. We were hoping for something slower and more meaningful, and Kerala was exactly that. The backwaters, the greenery, and the calm pace of life felt completely different from anywhere else we’ve travelled. The houseboat experience was a real highlight. Sitting on the deck in the evening, watching daily life along the water while dinner was being prepared fresh on board—it was simple, peaceful, and unforgettable. I also want to mention our driver, who was incredibly kind and patient throughout the trip. He never made us feel rushed and always ensured we were comfortable, especially on the longer travel days. What we appreciated most was how well you understood what we were looking for. The hotels were calm, well located, and had a charm that made each stay feel relaxing rather than just functional. Thank you for putting together a journey that felt so personal and well balanced. It gave us exactly the kind of experience we were hoping for in India. Warm regards, Sophie
Sophie Martin, France

Hello Shaan, Thank you again for organising such a wonderful journey for us. I just wanted to take a moment to share how much we truly appreciated everything you arranged. What stood out most was the personal care throughout the trip. It never felt like we were following a fixed itinerary—everything felt flexible and thoughtfully handled. The hotels you selected were excellent, each with its own character. Our stay in Udaipur, especially the lake-view room, was something we’ll always remember. Jodhpur had such a unique charm, and every destination felt well chosen. We had also heard a lot about the driving conditions in India before arriving, but your drivers were outstanding. We always felt safe and comfortable, no matter how long the journey. There are so many moments we’ll carry with us—the camel ride at sunset, the peaceful mornings, and the overall feeling of discovering India at our own pace. Thank you for making this experience so smooth and memorable. We will happily recommend Premium India Tours to anyone planning a trip to India. Warm regards, Michael

Hi Shaan,
We wanted to thank you for curating such a fantastic Golden Triangle journey for us. The whole experience felt like a smooth introduction to India, with each city offering something distinct and memorable.
Starting in Delhi, we really enjoyed the contrast between the old and new parts of the city — the energy, the history, and the everyday life all coming together in such a vibrant way. From there, the drive to Agra and seeing the Taj Mahal in person was a real highlight; no matter how many times you see photos, it’s completely different when you’re standing there in front of it.
Jaipur added another layer to the journey with its forts, palaces, and colourful streets. Walking through Amber Fort and exploring the old city gave us a real sense of Rajasthan’s royal history.
Having a private driver throughout made everything feel easy and relaxed. The hotels were well chosen and comfortable, and the guides added meaningful context at each stop without ever feeling rushed or overwhelming.
Overall, it was a beautifully balanced trip and a great first experience of India. We really appreciate all the care that went into planning it.

Hi Shaan
Our luxury India tour with Premium India Tours by Shaan was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, everything was carefully arranged — a private driver, smooth transfers, knowledgeable local guides, and thoughtfully selected 5-star and heritage hotels throughout the journey.
The route through Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur was well paced, allowing us to enjoy each destination without feeling rushed. Delhi gave us our first taste of India’s energy and contrast, while Agra was unforgettable — especially witnessing the Taj Mahal at sunrise, which was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Jaipur brought a different rhythm altogether, with its forts, palaces, and vibrant streets. Staying in heritage properties in Rajasthan added a special charm to the experience, making the journey feel both luxurious and deeply connected to the region’s history.
What stood out most was how seamlessly everything came together. Every detail was tailored to our preferences, and the entire trip felt effortless, comfortable, and personal. It was one of the finest private luxury travel experiences we’ve had.
-James Walker, United Kingdom

We booked a customized India tour covering the Golden Triangle and Rajasthan, and the journey turned out to be far more memorable than we had imagined. From the moment we arrived in Delhi, everything was well organized and easy, which allowed us to settle in and start enjoying the experience right away.
The itinerary was perfectly paced — giving us time to take in the contrasts of Delhi’s bustling streets, the calm beauty of Agra, and the royal charm of Jaipur. One of the most unforgettable moments was standing in front of the Taj Mahal, which felt even more powerful and emotional in person than we expected.
As we moved through Rajasthan, each city had its own character. The forts, palaces, and old streets felt like stepping into a different era, and we especially enjoyed the slower moments where we could simply observe daily life and soak it all in.
Premium India Tours was responsive, professional, and attentive to every detail throughout the journey. Everything from travel arrangements to local experiences felt smooth and thoughtfully handled. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to India.
Best regards

Hi ShaanThe Golden Triangle tour was the perfect introduction to India for us. From the very beginning in Delhi, we were taken in by the contrast of old and new — the busy streets, historic monuments, and vibrant everyday life all blending together in a way that felt both overwhelming and exciting.The journey to Agra was smooth and comfortable, and visiting the Taj Mahal in person was truly unforgettable. No matter how many times we had seen it in pictures, standing there in front of it felt completely different — peaceful, grand, and deeply moving.
Jaipur added a beautiful royal touch to the trip, with its palaces, forts, and colourful streets. Walking through the old city and exploring Amber Fort gave us a real sense of Rajasthan’s history and culture.
Premium India Tours arranged excellent hotels throughout and provided a very comfortable car with a fantastic driver, which made the entire journey easy and stress-free. Everything was well organized, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience.
Daniel Roberts, UK

Our India and Nepal journey turned out to be one of the most memorable travel experiences we’ve ever had. It began in India with the breathtaking Taj Mahal — a moment that truly lived up to everything we had imagined and more. Walking through the monument at sunrise felt peaceful and surreal, something we’ll never forget. From there, the journey transitioned into Nepal, where the atmosphere felt completely different. In Kathmandu, we spent time exploring temples, narrow streets, and lively squares filled with history and daily life. The spiritual energy of the city was something unique and deeply grounding. One of the highlights was Chitwan National Park, where we experienced a completely different side of the region — rivers, forests, and wildlife. The safari experience added an element of adventure and contrast to the cultural parts of the trip. Throughout the journey, Premium India Tours handled all logistics smoothly and professionally. Everything ran on time, transitions between destinations were seamless, and we never had to worry about the details. It allowed us to fully enjoy the experience from start to finish.
Anna & Lucas, Spain

Our Rajasthan tour with Premium India Tours was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The journey began in Jaipur, where the grand palaces, bustling bazaars, and historic forts immediately set the tone for Rajasthan’s royal heritage. Walking through Amber Fort and exploring the old city gave us a real sense of the region’s history and vibrant culture. From there, Udaipur felt completely different — calmer, more romantic, and incredibly scenic. Watching the sunset over the lakes and wandering through the narrow streets around the old city was a highlight of the entire trip. Jaisalmer was another unforgettable chapter. The golden fort rising from the desert and the experience of the sand dunes at sunset felt almost like stepping into another world. It was both adventurous and magical in equal measure. Throughout the journey, the guides were knowledgeable and engaging, and our driver was extremely professional, making all the long drives comfortable and stress-free. The heritage hotels added a special touch, allowing us to experience Rajasthan’s royal charm in a very authentic way. Overall, Rajasthan truly exceeded our expectations and left us with memories we will always treasure.
Michael & Laura, USA
Hi ShaanKerala turned out to be the most emotional and peaceful part of our India trip, and it left a lasting impression on us. It felt like stepping into a completely different rhythm of life — slower, quieter, and deeply calming in a way we didn’t expect but truly appreciated.
We began in Kochi, where the blend of history, seaside charm, and everyday local life immediately drew us in. Walking through Fort Kochi, watching the fishing nets, and just sitting by the water felt simple yet meaningful — like we were slowly starting to unwind without even realising it.
The backwaters of Alleppey were the emotional highlight of the journey. Our houseboat stay was incredibly peaceful — gently moving through narrow canals, seeing life unfold along the water, and sharing quiet moments together on deck. There was a sense of stillness and connection that’s hard to describe, but it stayed with us long after we left.
Munnar felt refreshing in a different way. The mist-covered tea plantations, cool air, and endless green hills brought a sense of awe and calm. Driving through the winding roads, we often found ourselves just silently taking in the views, feeling grateful to be there.
Premium India Tours planned everything flawlessly, from the houseboat to the smooth transitions between destinations. Because everything was so well organised, we were able to fully experience Kerala without stress — just presence, emotion, and unforgettable memories.
Sophie Martin, France

Hi Shaan, Thank you for organizing this wonderful trip to Rajasthan, India. This journey meant a great deal to my sister and me — it came at a time when we really needed a break from our routine and a chance to breathe, reset, and experience something completely different. I still remember the flight over, when we were quietly wondering if we had made the right decision coming to a country so unfamiliar to us. There was a mix of excitement and uncertainty. But the moment we landed in India, all of that disappeared. We were met with such warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality that we immediately felt at ease. As the days went by, exploring the peaceful landscapes of Rajasthan, its historic cities, and its deeply rooted culture, something slowly shifted in us. Every place had its own story, and every interaction with people along the way felt sincere and welcoming. It wasn’t just sightseeing — it felt like we were being gently introduced to a different way of life. What began as a simple trip turned into something much more meaningful — a journey that refreshed our minds, softened our worries, and stayed with us emotionally long after we returned home.

Peter N., Netherlands

Our Rajasthan and Varanasi journey was nothing short of spectacular, and it felt like two completely different worlds coming together in one unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, everything was smoothly arranged, which allowed us to simply settle in and enjoy the journey without any stress. Rajasthan felt grand and royal at every step. Staying in beautiful heritage and palatial hotels added a special charm to the experience, making us feel connected to the region’s history while still enjoying complete comfort. Exploring the majestic forts, walking through vibrant bazaars, and driving across the calm desert landscapes gave us a real sense of Rajasthan’s colour and character. Then the journey shifted to Varanasi, where the atmosphere changed completely. The early mornings by the Ganges, the sound of temple bells, and the evening aarti created moments that were both peaceful and deeply moving. It felt intimate and spiritual in a way that’s hard to describe, but it left a strong impression on us. Throughout the trip, the itinerary was thoughtfully paced, giving us enough time to absorb each destination without ever feeling rushed. The balance between luxury, culture, and authentic experiences was handled very well, making the journey feel both comfortable and meaningful. It was truly a memorable experience, and one we will look back on for a long time. We are already looking forward to planning our next trip with Premium India Tours.

Our Rajasthan tour was truly unforgettable, and it felt like stepping into a living story filled with colour, history, and warmth. From the very beginning, everything was well organized, which allowed us to simply enjoy the journey and take in each moment without any stress or rush. With so many incredible places to visit, the itinerary gave us the perfect balance of exploration and comfort. We had time to really soak in the grandeur of the forts and palaces, each one telling its own story of Rajasthan’s rich past. Walking through these historic spaces, we often found ourselves slowing down just to take it all in. One of the most memorable parts of the journey was the desert experience — the endless golden landscape, shifting light at sunset, and the quiet beauty of the sand dunes. The small villages along the way added a very human touch, showing us everyday life in the heart of Rajasthan and making the experience feel even more real and grounded. What truly stood out was the care and attentiveness of the crew throughout the trip. Their kindness and readiness to help at every step made us feel supported and genuinely welcomed, which added a lot of warmth to the entire experience. It was a deeply immersive journey filled with stunning sights, cultural richness, and meaningful moments that we will carry with us for a long time.

We had a wonderful cultural experience travelling through Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Udaipur, and the journey felt both enriching and personal from start to finish.
Each city brought its own atmosphere — Jaipur’s vibrant streets and grand architecture, Jodhpur’s blue old city with its striking fort, and Udaipur’s calm lakes and romantic setting. Moving through them at a comfortable pace allowed us to really take in the character of each place instead of just passing through.
What made the experience even more special was how well the tour was customised to our interests. It never felt generic — instead, it felt thoughtfully shaped around what we wanted to see and experience. Communication throughout was always clear and reassuring, which made everything feel easy and well organised.
The guides were knowledgeable and engaging, sharing stories and context that helped bring each destination to life. Throughout the trip, we always felt supported and well taken care of, which allowed us to simply enjoy the journey.

My wife and I made this getaway quite suddenly, and at first we weren’t entirely sure about our decision. But from the moment we arrived, those doubts quickly disappeared. We found the people of India to be genuinely warm and welcoming, and the travel agency was professional, kind, and supportive in every way throughout the journey.
It turned out to be a truly refreshing experience exploring the colourful cities of Rajasthan and the deeply spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi. Rajasthan amazed us with its vibrant streets, grand forts, and rich cultural energy, while Varanasi left a lasting impression with its peaceful ghats and sacred rituals along the Ganges.
What started as a spontaneous plan became something much more meaningful than we expected. Every day brought new moments that stayed with us, and by the end of the trip, we honestly didn’t feel ready to leave.
It was a memorable journey in every sense, and we would happily return again — truly a “two thumbs up” experience.

Hola Shaan, Being passionate travellers, my family and I usually prefer planning our journeys ourselves. This time, however, we felt very comfortable working with your agency, as we were able to create our own itinerary for India and Nepal while everything else was handled smoothly and professionally by your team. It gave us the freedom we like, with the reassurance of well-organised support throughout. Having travelled to many countries, I can honestly say this journey was no less extraordinary than any we’ve experienced before. India and Nepal left a deep impression on us — from the rich culture and historic cities to the peaceful mountain landscapes and spiritual atmosphere that felt truly unique. Every destination had its own character, mood, and emotion, making the journey feel very layered and memorable. It was a well-balanced experience of independence and comfort, and we would certainly love to return for another tour in the future.
Eva Maria, Spain

Hi Shaan, The trip was absolutely excellent from start to finish. Every destination we visited had its own charm, and our stays at the hotels were consistently comfortable and relaxing, which made it easy to unwind after each day of travel. Rajasthan, in particular, left a strong impression on us — it’s a truly fascinating destination with so much variety in experience. Some of the most memorable moments included horseback riding, which was both exciting and refreshing, as well as safaris that gave us a closer look at the region’s natural side. The camel rides through the open desert landscapes were especially peaceful, offering a slower and more reflective way to take in the scenery. Overall, every part of the journey felt rewarding and special, and we left with many wonderful memories of Rajasthan.
Samuel Beckett, UK

It was a wonderful trip to what we discovered to be one of the most vibrant countries in the world. From the very next day after landing, we began our sightseeing in Delhi, and it immediately set the tone for the journey. Exploring magnificent forts, ancient tombs, temples, and historic monuments felt like walking through layers of history, and each place left a lasting impression on us. As we travelled further, the experience became even more immersive. Passing through traditional villages gave us a glimpse of everyday life, while the grand fort palaces showcased the scale and richness of the region’s heritage. There was a real sense of contrast and discovery at every stage of the journey. Our stays at beautiful heritage hotels added a special charm to the trip. Each property had its own character and atmosphere, and after full days of sightseeing, it felt very comforting to return to such welcoming and well-preserved spaces. Overall, it was a deeply memorable and enriching travel experience that allowed us to truly connect with the culture, history, and spirit of the places we visited.

Hi Shaan, Right from landing in Delhi, the journey felt exciting and full of discovery. Exploring the breathtaking monuments of Agra was an unforgettable start, and seeing the Taj Mahal in person was truly a moment that stayed with us. As we continued to Jaipur, the experience became even more memorable — from camel rides to exploring the vibrant streets and historic forts, every activity felt lively and engaging. Pushkar added a beautiful contrast with its colorful and spiritual atmosphere, where everything felt calm yet deeply cultural. Finally, Udaipur brought a royal charm to the journey with its lakes, palaces, and peaceful surroundings. Throughout the trip, travelling with Premium India Tours gave us a smooth and well-organized experience. The stays were comfortable, the guides were knowledgeable and helpful, and everything felt thoughtfully managed from start to finish, especially considering the value we received. It was a truly enjoyable and well-balanced journey, and we would definitely love to travel with you again in the future.

Hi Shaan, We were quite nervous at first, especially with concerns about language barriers and navigating a completely new country. However, the moment we landed, those worries quickly disappeared. Our guide, Ugam Singh, welcomed us warmly and immediately made us feel comfortable with his friendly nature and genuine kindness. From that point on, travelling with him felt smooth, safe, and very reassuring. His knowledge and guiding skills made every place we visited more meaningful and easy to understand. Throughout the journey, Premium India Tours ensured everything was well taken care of. The hotel arrangements were excellent, and the travel logistics were seamless from one destination to the next, allowing us to focus entirely on the experience itself. It turned out to be a beautifully organized tour, and the care and attention we received throughout the trip will stay with us for years to come. It is truly an experience we will happily remember and share with others.

Hi Shaan,
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent tour of India (April 2011), thanks to the careful planning and meticulous execution by our guide, Mr. Shaan Saxena, proprietor of Premium India Tours.
Shaan proved to be sincere, reliable, and highly service-oriented. Based in the historic city of Jaipur — one of the highlights of our journey — he ensured every aspect of our trip ran smoothly and comfortably.
Because of Shaan’s dedication, along with the excellent support from our driver Hyma, our journey through India was safe, relaxed, and perfectly aligned with our interests. The itinerary offered a meaningful focus on India’s rich culture, fascinating history, and the day-to-day realities of life in the cities we had the pleasure of visiting.
This experience gave us not just a tour, but a deeper understanding of India. We are truly grateful for such a well-organized and memorable journey.

Congratulations and thank you for organizing our Golden Triangle Tour. It perfectly satisfied our first-time curiosity about the wonders of India. We truly appreciated your guidance and reliability, especially when the overwhelming number of online options made planning difficult. Your prompt and courteous email responses gave us great confidence from the start.
The hotels overall offered good comfort and local character. We especially enjoyed the charm and atmosphere of the heritage-style stays in Agra and Jaipur, and the convenient location in Delhi. Each property added a different flavor to our experience.
The itinerary was well planned and allowed us to see an incredible range of history, architecture, and culture. Delhi stood out for its variety, while Agra and Jaipur offered unforgettable monuments and heritage. Traveling by road gave us a real sense of India beyond just the tourist highlights.
We were especially grateful for our driver, Narendra, who always prioritized our safety and comfort despite challenging road and traffic conditions. His calm and careful driving made a big difference.
Overall, this journey was a memorable introduction to India. Thank you for helping make our first visit such a meaningful and eye-opening experience.

Hello Shaan Saxena,
Thank you for the photos and for organizing such a wonderful tour for us. The extra care and personal attention you provided made the entire journey very special.
Your choice of hotels throughout India was excellent. We loved our lake-view room in Udaipur, the romantic hotel in Jodhpur, and the magnificent property in Orchha. Each stay had its own charm and location advantages, which really enhanced our travel experience.
Before coming to India, we had read about difficult driving conditions, but after travelling with your drivers, we felt completely safe. Their skill, patience, and professionalism were truly impressive, especially considering the road conditions in some areas.
We enjoyed many memorable experiences — the camel ride at sunset, the elephant ride, and the breathtaking sunrise in Darjeeling, where the whole town seemed to gather to watch the view. These moments made our India journey unforgettable.
Thank you again for creating such a well-planned and enjoyable trip. We would be happy to recommend your services to other travelers.

Hi Shaan,
When I learned that we were the first Asian group you were handling, I initially felt a bit hesitant. I wondered whether you would understand the expectations of Asian travelers, whether the pricing would be fair, and whether your team would be familiar with our travel preferences. However, as someone working in the service industry myself, your prompt, informative replies and patient communication impressed me greatly, which is why I chose your agency to organize our India trip.
Including a homestay as part of the accommodation was a very interesting experience. The range of hotels throughout the journey was good, especially in Udaipur — we were truly impressed with the Jagat Niwas heritage hotel. From the small lanes and modest entrance, it turned out to be a big and pleasant surprise.
The vehicle provided was exactly as promised, and the driver was responsible, helpful, and cooperative throughout the Rajasthan journey. Any requests or comments we made during the trip were handled quickly and efficiently.
Overall, we had a wonderful time during the 16-day tour in India. I may not know whether we had the absolute lowest price, but I truly believe that you get what you pay for — and the experience was well worth it and within our budget. We are already planning another trip in the coming months, and we will happily trust you with the arrangements again.

Hi Shaan,
Thank you for organizing our Rajasthan tour. Over nearly two weeks, we travelled from Delhi to Udaipur via Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar, Khimsar, and Deogarh. We enjoyed the trip very much — it was an unforgettable India travel experience.
We saw a great variety of places. The Taj Mahal in Agra and Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur were especially impressive. The private tour was perfectly arranged, and everything happened on time. We had a private car with driver at our disposal throughout the journey, which made travel across Rajasthan comfortable and stress-free.
It was nice to travel with Arvind. We highly appreciate his driving skills and the way he managed to handle the chaotic Indian traffic. We stayed at many good hotels, all well chosen. We especially liked Jagat Niwas in Udaipur and Taj Resorts in Agra for their perfect location and proximity to major sights.
