Himanshu and his team did a wonderful job. My mother wanted to visit India for the first time to celebrate her 90th birthday!! My mother, 2 of my friend’s and I engaged Himanshu to organise a private tour. Bout India Tours listened to my requests and incorporated all our needs into a 16 day wondrous adventure that gave my mother undeniable joy and happiness. Thanks everyone at Bout India
Very efficient and professional. In the beginning I had some doubts about the payments; we are living in the Netherlands, we were in contact with a travel company in India. Everything went very well. At the end of my holiday the local company paid several hotels for us which were only invoiced after the end of my trip. BOUT INDIA is very honest and reliable.
In December 2018 I made a trip to India's golden triangle and two national parks. It was a custom-made private tour for two people. Himanshu was involved in the scheduling of this tour from the very beginning of this project. All his advice and recommendations were very helpful and allowed escaping many potential problems and pitfalls. As it was our first time in India we had a lot of worries, but Himanshu spoke with me many times by Skype and Whatsup, responded patiently to all questions, and made many very helpful recommendations. When arrived in New Delhi, we were met by a very good driver with flowers who escorted.... Read More
My husband and I booked our first trip to India through Bout India Tours in March/April 2016 and had an amazing introduction to a country we had always dreamed of seeing. Rather than the typical tourist group experience with a busload of other people, we were accompanied during part of the journey with the wonderful founder of Bout India and spent the rest of it by ourselves with a private car and driver. Though we started out with a planned itinerary, they really customized our journey as they got to know us, resulting in an even more perfect trip. In our two weeks in India with Bout India Tours we really felt th.... Read More
Bout India changed my perspective on travel in India. I had been once before and wasn't too thrilled but this time the company made the difference. From the moment the driver met me at the airport with flowers until the time I was dropped off several days later, everything was perfect. Each time I was picked up it was on time and the vehicles were spotless. The drivers were great. Adi was an excellent tour guide. She was sensitive to my needs and made sure that I enjoyed everything. She kept me informed via email until I arrived and then made sure everything was in order. Our day trip to the Taj Mahal was remarkable. I thoroughly enjoyed her as well as the local guide. Thanks for an amazing experience.
Had an amazing 26 day tour organised by Kunal at Bout India. We threaded a fantastic trip across India around 3 of the World Cup cricket matches. Highlights: Mumbai city and Elephanta Caves - great guides helped us to put modern India into perspective - with religion, Moguls, Gandhi and partition in the mix. Ahmedabad - added to our Gandhi knowledge and took a scary tuk tuk ride. Shimla and Dharamshala - fulfilled a long term dream to go to the Dharamshala cricket ground in the Himalayan foothills. And managed to get up and down the Triund Trek. Amritsar - amazing Golden Temple, our guide helped us to join in rolling some chapatis to feed the needy at La.... Read More

Thank you BoutIndia.com for an extraordinarily amazing travel experience! We took three tours: i) Best of Central India that includes Mumbai and Goa, ii) Golden Triangle and Rajsthan and iii) Southern Splendors. This Southern Splendors itinerary covers two of the best travel destinations of India - Tamil Nadu & Kerala. Our guide for this tour was Miss Shanthi. Shanthi was not only knowledgeable about history and culture but I could easily call her an expert on Hindu culture, temples, heritage and monuments of India. No wonder Tamil Nadu is a cradle of Hinduism and it would be innate to say that the state can boast to be a cradle of temples.... Read More

Our first time with a tour service, and it did not disappoint. Wonderful driver, hotels, guides and tours. Amrish took us right to our door and our guide took us to the front of the line at each site. Learned amazing facts from our guides-Rao, Sandy, and Carney.
There are really no words that adequately describe our tour in India. From the moment we were met at the airport with necklaces of flowers, a comfortable and spacious van, and our most humble and gracious driver and chauffeur, Taj, we were treated like royalty. We learned so much from our guides and had so many incredible experiences it will take a while to come down off our cloud. Thank you to Pinki Rai who set up our trip. She was so patient as I changed my mind on hotels many times. And speaking of hotels--WOW, they were all amazing and luxurious. Don't miss the Claridges in Dehli or the Samode Haveli in Jaipur 2 of our f.... Read More
INCREDIBLE INDIA !!! We booked our Vacation without knowing anything about BOUT INDIA TOURS....what a stroke of luck. We were treated like royalty from start to finish. Met at Hotel lobby each morning by driver and guide, always 15 mins early as were we, eager to start our daily tours of the monuments as they called them. We described them as temples, forts, palaces etc. After being dropped off at each monument, our driver was waiting for us outside to whisk us away to our next tour. We had very comfortable vehicles, all very clean, great drivers who never got angry with the bustling heavy traffic. The rides to and from our hotel and .... Read More

From start to finish, Akansha and Geetanshi made planning and executing this trip a joy. Our guides in each location were friendly and knowledgeable - truly top-notch service. "Roop" in Amritsar stood out among all of the truly outstanding guides. Each guide really put their own unique spin on things and kept us going at a reasonable pace with information tailored to our particular interests. The 5-star hotels in each city were beautiful and relaxing - we particularly enjoyed the Trident.... Read More
My brother and I both went on a 14 day tour which consisted of Delhi, Agra, Ranthambhore, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. It was absolutely amazing. All the tours were so engaging and really built around our interests. We saw a wide variety of historical places and learned so much about India’s rich history. Our driver Mr Singh was the best and besides making the driving look so easy also made us so comfortable. I would recommend this company to anyone touring India.
