It’s been the fourth time in 10 years that Koos and Aly from Groningen went on tour with Rattan through India. But never did they write anything for our website. Of course it was a fantastic trip with the prime destination being Kausani in Uttaranchal. ( RP )
Returned from an unforgettable journey in a unique country. The system shock predicted to us by many, that is to say: ( the dirt, stench, poverty and people writhing with pain in the streets) did not manifest. Have we become numbed by our previous travels to distant countries, or has…
On arrival in Delhi Bharat is already waiting for us. The first impression is OK and he takes us to Ivory Palace where we can freshen up a bit. The weather is unfavorable: it’s 8 degrees colder than it normally is and it ‘s raining (according to the newspapers the…
After hours of reading, looking at photos , searching on the Internet and viewing images on the unsurpassed Google Earth, the day had come: we were walking into the lobby of Indira Gandhi Airport. Sudhershan, our driver for the upcoming three weeks, was waiting for us (to our relief). The…
WE LOVE INDIA AND SUSHIL! Thank you very much for your mediation, we have had a wonderful time in India (Delhil-Jaipur-Agra-Delhi). We have had a great time, we never expected travelling could be so much fun and a so relaxing. Sushil has told us much about India. He was our…
It was a very nice trip. We have really enjoyed ourselves! It is an incredible country: the smells, the colors, the beautiful and sweet people. Unfortunately also many poor people, quite a contrast. Puran was a good driver. In the midst of all the chaos, he drove composed and did…
I want to thank you for the amazing help you gave us, which has made our journey through Rajasthan an unforgettable experience. In the end we have chosen to make our trip in the Ambassador, which turned out to be a very good decision. The trip was also very enjoyable…
We are back in Holland, but are still trying to acclimate. What a difference with India! We have had a fantastic holiday. Bharat was super. He drove safe, gave good advice and he has helped us tremendously when our intestines were acting up. He always had bananas and cola in…
It has been a week since we came back from our wonderful trip to India and Nepal. As agreed, Avtar (our driver) was waiting for us at the airport of Delhi. After such a long journey, it was very nice to relax on the backseat of a car and let…
I have been a friend of Rattan’s since 2004 when I first got the opportunity to meet him when he was engaged to be my driver for a round trip in Rajasthan for about 12 days. He was excellent and we have stayed in touch eversince. I look back to…
We left for India on April 10th. After a turbulent flight we arrived late in Delhi. Luckily the formalities did not take too long and we introduced ourselves to Pappu. A nice man, but also a man of few words. We checked into our hotel and had a good night…
Our journey through Rajasthan went pretty good. The route was more or less how I had planned and suggested. We did stay in Jodhpur and Bikaner for only one night. In Mandawa we made a visit with a local guide, in Khuri we took a camel ride, in Ranakpur we…
On Februari 22th Bharat picked us up from the airport of New Delhi for a 10-day tour through Nord of India. The tour went from there to Agra, Jaipur and Pushkar and finished in Udaipur. During this trip you have shown us everything and more. You gave us the feeling…
Everything went well, we were very impressed by India. We travelled from New Delhi to Jaipu. After this we travelled to Pushkar, Ranthambhore, Agra and then per train to Varanasi. We were very happy with Pappu; he took us to restaurants that were safe for us to eat in and…
We arrived safely back in our homeland Belgium. Our trip went really well; we couldn’t have imagined a better driver. He had tons of good ideas, and wasn’t pushy when we didn’t feel like doing something. We’ve had a lot of fun together.
This trip through Rajasthan fulfilled all of our expectations. It was simply beautiful! India is a colourful land, full of contrasts: rich and poor, beautiful and dirty, a wide diversity of religions, and great, peaceful people. By travelling with a personal driver, you get close to the local people and…
We are back from Rajasthan, and we really enjoyed ourselves there! Avtar was a good choice for a driver. India sure is a beautiful country, that will shock your senses!
The 3 day trip Golden Triangle with Surinder was excellent, really the ever best driver and tourist guide we ever had. Thank you for having arranged everything for us so well.
We have been back from our trip for a few days now, and we’re still getting used to the quietness again. We made a tour through Himachal Pradesh, among other places. Everything went really well, thanks of course to our Rattan. Rob, thank you for looking after us so well.
The thought of being confined in a car with a driver – somebody you don’t know – on your first trip to India is a bit daunting. Would they be trustworthy? And would they even turn up at the pick-up point that had been arranged? We needn’t have worried. Bharat…
We’re back home, and it feels as if we never went away. We had a great time. Rattan is a sociable man; we never had any trouble whatsoever. He does his best to help you with everything you ask for. We really enjoyed ourselves, and also visited Rattan’s home. I…
We had an amazing vacation . We had a great time with Babu. He certainly is a good driver, and he also made us laugh on numerous occasions. Basically, everything went perfect. The trip to Leh was astonishing as well. I want to thank you for your help with the…
Everything went well. We are very pleased with the driver, Bharat. An excellent choice! He is very concerned and helping, yet keeps the right amount of distance: a true professional.
We’ve had a wonderful vacation, and we were very pleased with travelling with a personal driver. Babu was great company, and he could tell us a lot about India and the places that we visited. He gave us many useful tips, and was able to find a nice and cheap…
We always felt really secure around our Gandhi Bharat, in all aspects. He drives very properly, as far as that’s possible in a country like India. My daughter told me yesterday that she’s going to make a medallion for Bharat, since he guided us safely through everything. He drove us…
