Perfection -- do not hesitate

Visiting India was a lifelong dream. A friend recommended Elegant Journeys and our high expectations were exceeded. Mr. Vivek Wadhawan is extremely responsive to requests and organizes incredible, customized trips. The positive difference between a private trip like this (at your own pace, in your own comfortable car) and a big tour cannot be overemphasized. As a mother-daughter pair, the itinerary was perfection, the guides knowledgeable, and the Oberoi accommodations beyond wonderful. We felt safe and comfortable throughout, and it was wonderful to have the freedom to make adjustments on the fly as our interests evolved. We appreciated how Vivek arranged for us female guides in two cities who provided helpful perspectives on this dynamic country. Special thanks to our wonderful and skilled driver, Mr. Yoginder, who took such good care of us for days on end and answered our many questions – he is a gem. You will be very happy with the careful attention to detail that the entire Elegant Journeys team puts into their work. We have incredible memories. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended tour operator with knowledgeable guides

They arranged one of the best tours we ever had. The guides and the driver they provided us were extremely knowledgeable, polite, helpful and were able to answer all our questions. The service was excellent - they treat you like a maharaja- nothing is too much. The recommended hotels also great. . Not a single mistake on a two week trip. Highly recommended as your tour agent in India !

Excellent India Tour Operator

Elegant Journeys is a five-star tour company headed by Vivek Wadhawan. He is on top of very single issue. Tours are custom-made, and private. Vivek meets you personally at the beginning of the tour and he sends a company representative to every city we visited. You have your own AC car, driver and guide for every destination. The driver stays with you throughout. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DEV SINGH AS A TOUR DRIVER. He is excellent, a very kind individual and quite knowledgable as well. He shared many personal stories and insights of India and its culture. He catered to our every need, supplied us with COLD water every single minute and was alert and always ready when we needed him. He made sure that he was available to help us in any way, shape or form. He constantly asked us if we wanted to do other stuff, pass by shops etc. We made a good friend in India and highly recommend him to english-speaking tourists. Our guide in Agra - KAPIL JUNEJA - is another one that we highly recommend. He has such a jovial personality and extremely knowledgable on everything historical about India. He gave insights that I am sure guide books would not have. It was such a pleasure being recipients of his guided tours in Agra. The guides never made us feel coerced into shopping certain stores and only brought us when we asked. Our guide in JAIPUR - RAJIV - was equally jovial. His guided tour was entertaining as he inserted a lot of anecdotes to the tour. However, I cannot emphasize the pleasure of having DEV SINGH as our guide for 6 days - simply a superb human being. Vivek, you have a gem in Dev.

GREAT INDIA TOUR OPERATOR

Elegant Journeys is an excellent company headed by Vivek Wadhawan who is very hands on. All of the tours offered are private and there are both predetermined tours and special itineraries if desired. The company has a roster of office help, drivers and local representatives in each place you visit. It also has good arrangements with the Oberoi hotel organization and our accommodations were incredible. The company goes the extra mile to ensure that your experience is unique. When some visitation sites are closed Vivek personally instructs the assigned guides to other sites to guarantee unique experiences. When internal flights are cancelled he arranges options: either other flights or a driver to transport you to the next location. The company throws in extras and is intent to see that you have a first rate experience. You should not hesitate to sign on with Elegant Journeys. Dealing with the company directly is very efficient and guarantees that there are people on the ground who will monitor and take care of your every need. It also eliminates another level of charges dealing with a U.S. company which in turns deals with its Indian counterpart. Vivek is a first class gentleman who is very professional. The guides who were assigned to us by the local representative offices were excellent. Special requests were handled willingly. The hotels were fabulous. Last but not least the driver assigned to us, Dev, was remarkable. Besides being an astounding driver he shared much information with us that put a very personal twist on life in India. We ended our journey feeling that we had made a good friend of Dev. Elegant Journeys ensured that we left with warm feelings for the country and the people we met. Even the most respected hotel brands could pick up one or two pointers from the Oberio organization. Highly recommended.

Visit of amber fort

Having recently returned from an incredible trip to India, I feel compelled to share my exceptional experience with our guide Tahir Yazadani. Not only did he possess an in-depth knowledge of the local culture and history, but his fluency in French was a huge asset, making our communication seamless and enriching. His professionalism, punctuality, and passion for his work were evident throughout our journey. He went above and beyond to ensure our trip was memorable, catering to our interests and offering unique insights. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking an engaging and educational experience in India.

pleasant and friendly tour guide ever met

It is not possible to completely explore a place like Jaipur without a helpful tour guide and skilled driver who knows everything about the place. We were very lucky to have someone like Javed Bhai (MJ) and cab driver Mukesh ji who were so knowledgeable and helpful. It was amazing trip because of them.

Jaipur trip

We would highly recommend our guide Tahir. Tahir was very knowledgeable in explaining the local heritage and culture of Jaipur. We learned so much about the historical sites and temples . He answered all our questions and was very considerate and polite. Tahir was very happy to follow our itinerary advising us on the best places to visit for shopping. Our elephant farm experience was out off this world. Tahir also made sure we had rest breaks, water and washroom breaks. As 2 lone female travellers we felt safe and secure at all times and would highly recommend to any solo female traveller. Our time in Jaipur was greatly enhanced by Tahir and made our first trip to India a very memorable experience.
