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.
We just had the most amazing trip to India thanks to Bout India. We had been to India several times before and usually book our trips on our own, but for this trip using a destination expert was the way to go. In Rajasthan for example, we were not considering a visit to Ranthambhore National Park. But Himanshu and Charlie recommended it along with other stops and it turned out to be highlights of our trip. Spotting a tiger in the wild is rare, but Bout India arranged 3 safaris for us and we got lucky! The drivers they arranged for us were professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to travel with. The accommodations they a.... Read More
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
Bout India gave us the most memorable and amazing holiday. The programme that was put together was diverse and fully comprehensive. Each and every city we visited offered something unique and exciting.

Our travels over 16 days encompassed stays in Delhi, Agra, Ranthambore, Jaipur, Jodphur, Udaipur and Goa. Our driver Shankar - was always on time, and had fresh bottled water available daily. He took pride in his car and was so helpful ma.... Read More
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
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.
