I booked a 13 day trip around Rajasthan with India Private Driver for myself, my wife and her parents. Right from the start Bunty was a real help, suggesting an itinerary that included all the major highlights, plus some lesser known but fascinating stops. Our driver Avtar was wonderful and gave us some real insight into life in India. He was punctual, a careful driver and great fun to be with. He was also kind enough to include many stops outside our original itinerary — a really nice touch. The hotels Bunty booked for us were all fantastic. It was great to stay in such a variety of places, everything from a restored Haveli to a real-life Palace! We'd thoroughly recommend Bunty, Avtar and India Private Driver to anyone looking for a comfortable way to visit this amazing country.
Bunty was very professional and prompt in responding to all our emails full of questions, and was certainly instrumental in helping us arrange the perfect Rajasthan tour with a fabulous driver. We have to say that our driver Avtar is worth his weight in gold. Seriously! Our holiday was made so much better by having an experienced, friendly driver that speaks very good English. We always felt safe and in very good hands throughout our trip. Avtar was also our savior by going above and beyond to help us when we were stranded in Delhi as our train was cancelled at the last minute due to foggy conditions. We’d also like to add that the car was perfect, great size, in excellent condition, spotless and well looked after. We would not hesitate to recommend Bunty’s services and in particular Avtar. If you want a great driver who is safe, speaks good English and is a pleasure to travel with, go with Avtar. You will not be disappointed.
Bunty, first of all, thank you very much for your services. We are all very satisfied. We are very pleased with the 4-day tour of the Golden Triangle. Taj Mahal was of course breathtaking. I have wanted to visit this magnificent palace since I was 12 (when studying India at school) and now finally it became true! The whole tour gave us many facts about India - Avtar could answer all our questions about India and the different regions. We enjoyed the varied provinces and the rural areas. We also appreciated the safari very much, to be in nature with different birds and animals rather close. And so totally different from what we have in Sweden.
I heard about Bunty and India Private Driver via a friend, and at first I had little more than an email address to go on. But I fired off a query, and received a very quick, clear and useful response within a day. Just a couple more emails, and Bunty had a complete itinerary worked out that covered all the things I wanted to see, as well as some helpful suggestions about other local attractions that could be easily included. I thought I'd double-check Bunty's quote by seeing how cheaply I could book the same itinerary myself, but after comparing quoted hotel prices on the Internet for three or four places, and struggling with the complexity of Indian train timetables, I soon realised Bunty's prices were staggeringly better than reasonable. So the price was right, but would the service be any good? Well, from the moment we touched down in Delhi until we boarded our flight home in Mumbai. Our driver, Amit, was always on time, always attentive to our needs, always ready to adjust the schedule if some sight was really interesting and we wanted to spend more time in a palace, and always full of helpful advice on where to eat and how to handle Indian social niceties such as baksheesh. I've taken an overseas holiday every year for the past ten years in countries all over Asia and Africa, but my holiday in India with Bunty was easily the best value of them all. In fact, I regret not having left all of my travel arrangements to Bunty; I think he could have saved me considerably more money, time and angst.
We contacted the driver services of India Private Driver and Bunty arranged everything to perfection. His brother Amit waited for our arrival at the airport and accompanied us on our travels. Amit proved to be one of the best drivers in the whole country! He's an excellent and safe driver, he guided us to our hotels, had an absolute sound knowledge of the road network, organised local guides, and provided interesting information. He's a charming, friendly and service-minded man. India is an absolutely beautiful country, but we are sure that thanks to this excellent service we truly and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in full. We will not hesitate to contact www.indiaprivatedriver.com again, if we have the opportunity to return to this wonderful country. We highly recommend their service!
Planning a family trip to India with my husband and our 3 adult children (all in their 20s) was an exciting time for us. I really wanted and needed everything to go very smoothly! And thanks to Bunty and his advice, that's exactly what did happen. With the help and suggestions that were made by Bunty we were able to create and adjust our itinerary to include all the sights on our list. We traveled in 2009 and Bunty and I communicated via email for several months prior to that. He assigned one of his excellent trustworthy drivers to us and we had a terrific tour in India. Our driver, Prem, was waiting for us at the airport even though our flight was delayed by several hours! His car was always spotless, comfortable and in perfect condition. I cannot say enough wonderful and kind things about this professional and polite gentleman, Prem Singh. The most important... his driving skills were excellent! He always remained calm, which helped to create a very relaxed atmosphere for us and that is hard to do while every other car is following "India's road rules!!” We sadly said our goodbyes to Prem on the last day of our 8 day tour. We had shared stories and asked tons of questions about life and customs in India. He was wonderful! At another point in our India travels, our plans changed and we needed to hire a driver again. Since Prem was not available we had to hire an entirely different driving company. We got a car and a non-English speaking driver. The car seats were dirty, a seatbelt broken, the side mirrors had been ripped off and one tire was very bald. Not good!! Our advice: India is not a place to take chances with driving companies. Book your driver with www.indiaprivatedriver.com and you will be assured of a safe and pleasant trip!
What an amazing 16 day driving trip around Rajasthan. Our fabulous driver Avtar had to contend with 4 women - two 'mature' ladies and two 23 year old girls. He managed to balance everyone's needs with consideration and respect. We all felt very at ease and safe in Avtar's hands. Avtar spoke English perfectly and had even mastered the nuances of the Australian humour. Avtar was very familiar with all the destinations and was able to offer 'local' knowledge wherever we went. I would not hesitate to recommend Bunty's team and in particular our driver, Avtar.
My boyfriend and I are both Travel Agents, and were referred to India Private Driver through one of my clients. We were very happy with their services from beginning to end. Bunty was very helpful and answered all my questions through email quickly and efficiently. We changed our schedule many times before leaving and he was always very accommodating. When we arrived in India, our driver Amit was there to greet us with a smile. He had many suggestions for us along the way, and we had so much fun! It was great to have such a friendly driver who knew the areas we were going to well. We really enjoyed hearing all his stories and sharing ours. Thank you India Private Driver!
We spent 15 days travelling around Rajasthan in 2010 with our daughter of 13 years. Private driver was the only way to travel alone in India and we appreciated our driver Deepak. He was very professional and careful through the chaotic traffic. He was pleasant with a good sense of humor and he spoke English better than us, so it was sometimes funny! Deepak was a good guide and made us recommandations for visits, restaurants and even hotels. We enjoy his company and made a safe and pleasant trip all together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to French friends.
Thanks for the wonderful service provided to us. Amit, your brother has been a great host to us, we admire his patience and such great hospitality he provided. Our trip to India was magnificent except for the fact that we were conned by this one private tour guide in Fatehpur Sikri - we do hope Amit will tell him off the next time he sees the guy, Amit recognised his face. Our trip to India couldn't have been better, thanks to Amit's wonderful hospitality in entertaining us. I will definitely recommended your business to my friends and do wish you all the best.
India Private Driver is a great way to see and to get to know India. We found the business through internet, and are very pleased with them. They met our expectations, and they fulfilled all our needs. Bunty is professional, and gives a good price for what they offer (inc tax, fuels etc). Our driver, Avtar, was a responsable driver and we never felt unsafe. He showed us nice hotels and resturants, but was also open for our suggestions. We got to see what we wanted, and were free to skip the tourist places we did not want to visit. Over all we are pleased with Bunty and his crew, and can highly recommend India Private Driver!
We - two girls - also found Bunty by chance on the internet and have chosen to book our 10-days Rajasthan tour through him. And glad we did so! Our driver Manu did not only show us the most popular tourist places but also places "off the beaten track" which would have been hard to reach by public transport - especially if you're only around for ten days. From the first moment on we felt safe with our driver, and as we have never been to India before we were quite shocked about the busy streets - as probably most tourists are. But thanks to Manu we also felt safe on the streets and survived. He is an incredibly good and experienced driver and always found his way through cows and camels. Thank you again for your professional service, all your prompt answers, the good intinerary for that short time we had for our trip and the very easy way of handling everything beforehand. India is a lovely beautiful country with amazing people and charm. Thank you for showing us all that nice places and for many many unforgettable memories!
