07-Jan-2017

My tour lasted from Dec 30/2016 to Jan 4/2017 and I have only the best things to say about all who was with me and organized the tour for me. The price for the tour was cheaper than the other agencies prices since I was traveling by myself. The driver who picked me up and the airport, Pawan Kumar, was great, great driving skills and best professional behavior. My tour guides in all 3 ciites, Delhi, Agra and Jaipur were knowledgeable, protective and attentive. If I would have to request another tours around India, I would definitely reach out to HolidaysAt. ...more ...less

Amazing trip

An amazing trip. I've done a couple of trips with Holidays At and other companies, and this was by far the best.

What an exciting, colorful country!...

12-May-2016

What an exciting, colorful country! HolidaysAt went above and beyond to make sure these two "strangers in a strange land" were safe, secure and got to see everything they needed. India is quite the adventure so the right travel agency is vital. Special thanks to Amit who took care of us and was there when needed. I loved India and first time/First World travelers should do well with HolidayAt. ...more ...less

At last minute I emailed...

15-Apr-2017

At last minute I emailed holidaysAt to ask about a customised tour for a tiger safari in Ranthambore from New Delhi. They worked around my time frame and budget to make a tour that suited me! They were so helpful and made arriving in India easier knowing I had a tour fully organised. After a few emails they began to whatsapp me and it was much easier to explain what I wanted and respond to each other much faster. Amit had been organising my tour and discussing my options. He very kindly offered to collect me from the airport as I was arriving in Delhi late and bring me to my hostel free of charge. He was able to discuss the details of the tour in person with me on our journey from the airport. For a very reasonable price Amit and his holidaysAt team booked my train tickets from Delhi to Ranthambore and arranged a transfer from my hostel to the train station the next day where the driver waited on the platform with me and helped me with my bags to my seat on the train, this was a big help as I was travelling on my own. Another driver collected me at the next train station and brought me to my hotel 'Haveli Heritage' (which holidaysAt also booked for me) near Ranthambore National Park. The hotel was gorgeous and had a pool, a beautiful room and all inclusive buffet style meals. The food was amazing! The staff were very attentive, dedicated and friendly. I loved it there and it was such a peaceful location after Delhi and i had the rest of the day to relax by the pool. The next morning holidaysAt arranged for me to be collected by a tour guide and brought on safari of the national park to try see tigers and other wildlife. Unfortunately we didn't see any tigers as they are wild so you cannot predict when you might see them but it was great to go on an Indian safari and we saw lots of deer, monkeys and birds. Later in the day, it was arranged that I go on an evening safari and this time we were so so lucky, apart from seeing deer, monkeys, peacocks, crocodiles and lots of birds, we saw a leopard up very close and two tigers also very close to the jeep. It was amazing! Lastly, holdiaysAt organised my transfers and train ticket back to Delhi the following day again with drivers waiting with me on the platform and when I reached Delhi. It was such an enjoyable tour and everything was organised perfectly all for a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend holidaysAt for their tiger safari tours in Ranthambore and the hotel they booked for me, Haveli Heritage. I had a brilliant 3 days! ...more ...less
