Delhi Palaces Ganges - 12 days

We completed a hard copy feedback but in summary tour was great and I wouldn't change anything, except maybe hotel in Delhi.

We loved our time in India and our guide Yusuf was absolutely brilliant. We also had fantastic guides in Mumbai and Cochin. Das, our driver in Kerala was also amazing. All went smoothly with transfers and flights and we would recommend doing India again with On the Go. Thankyou so much Rachna for putting this lifetime trip together for the 6 of us. We will be in touch.

India was a wonderful place & I fell in love with the place and the people within a very short period of time. Our guide, Yusuf, was professional & couldn’t have been more fun or helpful. He made the tour better than we could have hoped. A real asset to On the Go. I know that I’ll return to India and I’ll be using On the Go again when I do. Overall, it was an great experience.

From the moment Sammy met me at the airport I felt in safe hands. He was professional yet easy going and friendly, well organised and calm. The group met for a briefing the next morning and then we were off. And I absolutely loved every minute of the next 13 days. We saw amazing things and people, went to astonishingly wonderful places and throughout, Sammy managed to gently herd us along without us ever feeling managed. At Varanasi we were all stuffed in pairs into tuc tucs and sent off into the pre dawn traffic mayhem of the 3 day Puja there. Sammy somehow materialised at the riverside (20mins ride away) and got us all into a boat and onto the water to see the magical sunrise. I never worked out how he did that! And it was all with implacable calm. He was funny and fun, informative and interesting, organised and efficient and brought out the best in the group. He is a brilliant ambassador for India and all its wondrousness. I Loved the entire tour and would like to nominate Sammy for an award

I really enjoyed this tour and loved India. Our guide Sat was great - patient, informative, funny and helpful. We enjoyed all the sites we saw and the information we received.

Sam has good local knowledge and language skills. He is a good tour guide with good interpersonal communication skills. He needs to keep to scheduled sight seeings. Sam need to improve on group organizational skills, when it comes to interstate travel by air and train. While other group tourist were managed to stay as one group, our group ended up separated. Pre organized 1st class train seating was not organized / achieved, creating disappointment. His organized evening entertainments were good and appreciated as well as the boat cruise at night on the Ganges.

What can I say! Not only was this my first trip to India, but also my first overseas. I had always wanted to see a country different to my own (Australia), and that I did! I chose to go at Diwali time, and so glad I did. It was incredible. I also chose the "bolt - on" of going up in a hot balloon, which was another first for me. It was fantastic, and especially being able to see the Indian villages from above in the basket. There were highlights throughout the tour. I cannot just pick one, but I will say that the Diwali made it more special. It was great also, to see the Taj Mahal as well as the temples and hear the history of each. The experience of Varanasi, I will never forget either. I felt incredibly lucky to have been able to be there in India, embracing it all. Our tour guide, Yusuf added his own touch and personality to the whole trip, but I have to say that I personally thank him from the bottom of my heart for he had a confident aura about him, which allowed me to relax. I can be a panic merchant, but with him in lead, I felt safe. He also made the Diwali night an evening I will never forget. I would love to go back to India one day, because I think it is a pretty incredible place to visit, with so much to learn and appreciate. Thank you On The Go Tours, And thank you Yusuf!

I would like to vote for tour guide Satendra Sharma, he was impeccable, he has the most kindest heart, excellent knowledge, nothing was a problem, worked long hours to insured we enjoyed the most out of all sightseeing, our safety and well being, WWe had perfect weather however our flight was cancelled to Varanasi from fog and tech problems and he was quick to get us comfortable back into a hotel with dinner all paid by the airlines. I could not fault anything with our tour, I still think about how wonderful the time was. I highly recommend and give 5 stars for ON THE GO TOURS INDIA to all my friends and would make sure Satendra was their tour guide as he was recommended to me from my friend that did the tour earlier in May Fiona. I so hope he wins, he is so deserving and if I was ever back in India I would do a private tour with him. I will post on Trip advisor 5 stars for ON THE GO TOURS. Thank you, Patricia

As I wrote on the first feedback form, the tour itself was great. It covered a lot of ground and included various types of experiences -- something for everyone. On the Go did a really good job. The only disappointments were things out of your control (e.g., cancelled flight to Varanasi on 31 Dec, so we spent a lot of time at Khujaraho airport and missed the festive banquet for New Years; lots of "fog" and "mist" (read horrible smog); and not seeing much wildlife on the bolt-on "safari"). That last hotel in Varanasi had a nice restaurant, but the rooms were a little skeevy, with towels that were stained and faucet loose in the sink. But what SAVED it all, and turned every downside into an upside, was Satendra Sharma. He looked out for everyone without being overly controlling, and he found special opportunities to engage us in local happenings (e.g., a fabulous and unique festival in Orchha around Morari Bapu, which turned into an amazing experience!). When our flight was cancelled he somehow managed to quickly book us into a different hotel (Clarks) on New Years Eve. Satendra is thoughtful, knowledgeable, funny, and extremely competent at his job -- with managing logistics, giving us history, in his personal interactions, and in communicating with the group. I can't imagine a better tour guide! He is surely the Guide of the Year!

I found the tour a very educational experience. It is hard to believe that people still live like that in this day and age. The support and work that On The Go Tours into small villages is fantastic. I would like to know some more information on how I could contribute on a regular basis. Satish was handed a couple of challenging situations and handled himself very professionally. Satish also went out of his way to ensure that everyone was happy and did not miss out on anything. My partner and I missed on going to the jeweler visit the rest of the group went on, due us choosing to do the bolt on Balloon Ride. Satish was able to find us another jeweler at another one of our stop overs for us to visit. He also greatly assist me in organizing a surprise birthday cake for my partners birthday. I was lucky enough to have Satish sit with me one afternoon and shared a drink and chat, giving me a great incite to his and Indian life.
