vacation to India
Jonathon Booth, 1st November 2025We had a fantastic time, we couldn't be happier. The trip was full of memorable moments and we're really pleased with how smoothly it all went. It was definitely the greatest trip we've ever been on.
Accommodation Visited
Le Meridien New Delhi
“Great facilities, great service. Location was also very handy.”
Grand Mercure Agra
“Great facilities and service. Very clean. The Taj Mahal view from our room was wonderful.”
Laalee
“This place was one of the most impressive. Impeccable service and wonderfully decorated. We really felt transported to a tranquil Indian oasis in the middle of Jaipur. The food here was really nice, and there were lots of spots to hang out such that we never felt the need to go out in Jaipur in the evenings.”
RAAS Chhatrasagar
“Astounding place. The rooms are flawless, the lake view from the room is amazing particularly as they face the sunrise. The activities here are so good we wish we could've stayed a few days longer. Food and service were the best of all. Highly recommend the kayaking and bush lunch activities. Our favourite place.”
Fateh Niwas
“Fantastic views from the room. Slightly more dated rooms, and the cleanliness of our bathroom wasn't great (we had a couple of bugs). Staff were on hand but not as smooth a service as our other hotels. We really enjoyed the rooftop pool. We booked at very short notice so are still glad we got somewhere of this calibre.”
The Ummed Jodhpur Palace Resort and Spa
“Very comfortable and clean room, but the bathroom could've been cleaner. The premises are very nice, although the restaurants in the hotel aren't as nice as in our other hotels. However we booked at very short notice and know this will have been the best available.”
The Gulaal
“We really liked the interior design here. The staff were very enthusiastic and made us feel at home. The rooftop restaurant was great and the view of the fort meant we felt happy to stay and have dinner there instead of going into town. The pool area is really nice. Can't fault this place.”
Grand Khalifa Luxury Camp
“Our room was very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Unfortunately, our shower didn't produce any water. The live performances in the evening were the best we've seen. Unfortunately, the hotel doesn't seem to have an alcohol license, so couldn't provide anything other than beer. Nonetheless, we had a very nice time here.”
Pride Plaza Hotel
“Very clean and comfortable, lots of facilities available. Its location in AeroCity was very handy for our last night in Delhi - we had a lot of fun visiting the bars and restaurants in the area.”
Staff Review
“Scott was excellent from start to finish. The time and effort Scott went to to help build our trip at the beginning is really commendable. His enthusiasm for travel and impressive knowledge of India meant we really trusted his advice, and I'm glad we did. We had a lot of difficult requests because we wanted to fit so many activities in on specific dates (including building the trip around Dev Diwali in Varanasi), but Scott went the extra mile to make sure we got everything we wanted. The service was impeccable and we really felt listened to throughout the process. Thanks to this, we were able to enjoy our dream trip that we weren't even sure would be possible!”
