Unforgettable Trip! - Ajay was an outstanding tour guide and an exceptional driver — not a single honk the entire journey! As a female solo traveler, I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the trip. His deep knowledge of Rishikesh and Haridwar made the experience truly meaningful and spiritual. I highly recommend Ajay for an unforgettable, peaceful, and insightful journey!

Fantastic, vibrant, spiritual - An excellent trip to Rishikesh and Haridwar to explore India’s spiritual sites. Our guide and driver, Arjay was fantastic. He spoke excellent English, had a great sense of humour and had an excellent knowledge that he was able to share. Not only that but he was an excellent driver, super safe without the use of a horn!! I we felt like we had spent the day with a friend. I would thoroughly recommend this trip!!

Great day out - Picked up on time ,good communication beforehand. Long drive but my driver spoke excellent English and was able to help wile away the hours. Thankfully he didn't use the horn constantly like what seemed every other driver on the road .Richkesh was a comfortable stroll over 2 bridges. Foothills of the Himalayas look stunning. Guide explained all the required information in English. Haridwar was a Hindi ceremony on the holy Ganges river,which was a deeply spiritual moment for all the devotees.. An enjoyable day was had, thanks again!

Had an amazing experience... - Had an amazing experience and got more then I bargain for.My tour guide Ankit was very knowledgeable and I told him that I took the tour to further my knowledge in Hinduism and he gave me a first hand experience, helping me understand more about the culture and making me feel very welcome. My driver was also very nice and curtious and made additional stops for us to find really good Indian food.look forward to coming back.

Worth the drive - We had a lovely day - Jyoti our driver did a great job, both driving and showing us about Haridwar and getting good spot to watch the river ceremony, just a shame he did not speak more English as it would have been good to understand more about the river ceremony. Our Guide Ankit was very accomodating, backtracking when the need arose and also very interesting history and spiritual culture of Rishikesh. Great to see the source of the Ganges and home of the yoga practice and learnt heaps about the Hindu faith.

Nature and Meditation - Great place and great organisation.
My excellent driver Pawan picked me up on time, drove very safely in spite of difficult situation with pilgrimage and lots of people walking on the highway... He spoke English well and explained a lot already on the way, and brought me water, chai, bananas all the time. In Rishikesh, enjoyed a very nice combined tour and yoga session with my local guide there. Highly recommended
