A FUN-FILLED, INFORMATIVE AND UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY
We are two young-at-heart oldies (65 and 70) who recently visited India for a 20 day holiday. On the recommendation of our daughter who used Bunty's Private Driver company several years ago, we also arranged our holiday travel plans through his company. His responses to our queries were always prompt and helpful, even suggesting we use a larger vehicle, for example, as this gave us more comfort and leg room on the longer trips. This was good advice which we appreciated. We chose his Rajasthan tour, adding extra places to visit and extending it by several days to allow for rest breaks between long drives. India is a vast country so some days involved long periods of travel. Bunty also suggested we might like Heritage/Historical style accommodation, which was a wonderful idea. Imagine waking up each morning on an exotic film set, with "Royal Marigold Hotel" style havellies and palaces. A great way to experience the India of old. We also added a visit to a desert camp out of Jaiselmer for an overnight stay, staying in a large and luxurious Swiss tent. That was an amazing experience with traditional Rajasthani food and entertainment, following a camel ride to the sand dunes at sunset. A sunset camel ride in Pushkar was another interesting addition to the itinerary. Our driver was Amit, a lovely young man with beautiful manners, a sense of humour and excellent English. He took great care of us, ensuring everything went smoothly and was hassle-free. He allowed us to travel and sight-see at our own pace, and also arranged local guides at various sites where we thought it would be an advantage. Amit also suggested various shopping (yes! we had to shop!) options and was patient and helpful throughout. He also recommended good dining options which we enjoyed as the food is so delicious everywhere in Rajasthan. This Indian holiday was an amazing and fascinating experience, one we would recommend for young and not-so-young, like us. The input and organisation from Bunty and his team certainly contributed to our overall enjoyment, giving us a fun-filled, informative and unforgettable holiday. We were confident throughout that we were in the care of an experienced, capable and professional team and we certainly recommend them for your Indian adventure. And yes! it is possible to spend 20 days in India, eating such delicious food, and not suffer Delhi belly! Hand wipes and gels are the answer.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT HIM
My companion and I both had a wonderful tour of Rajasthan, Agra, and Delhi with Naresh. He was knowledgeable of all the major attractions and we relied on him heavily for advice on which places to visit and when. He was also super helpful when one of our hotels overbooked. He talked with the manager and we were able to get a replacement room in a different hotel. I don't know what we would have done without him! We're very happy with his services and would recommend him for anyone who needs a private driver in north India.
HE WAS SOLICITOUS ABOUT OUR SAFELY AND ON MANY OCCASIONS GAVE GOOD ADVICE
Prior to our short tour of Rajasthan my friend and I had been on a trekking trip where communications were difficult, but Bunty managed to stay in touch and give us all the relevant information. Our driver Manohar was ready and waiting for us when we arrived at Udaipur airport. As first-time visitors to India we were a bit apprehensive about what lay ahead, but we were in good hands. The car was clean and trouble free, Manohar was drove carefully in the Indian traffic, and was punctual for every agreed meeting time and place. In some instances he timed arrivals beautifully, such at Fatehpur Sikri which we reached in the late afternoon when the light was beautiful, and the Taj Mahal in the early morning. He was solicitous about our safely and on many occasions gave good advice on what and who to avoid. Our time in Delhi was very short, but his tours managed to cover a great deal of old and new Delhi while still getting us to the airport on time.
INDIA WAS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE
Wow, India was an absolutely incredible experience that was made ever more so by the attention that you and my driver Manu provided. From my first email looking for ideas, to my exit from India, I found your service and attention to detail second to none. Your assistance in planning an itinerary was invaluable and getting prompt, informative answers to my many questions made the planning stage so much simpler. Only one of the hotels that you selected as accommodation fell short of my expectations but overall they were very clean, staff courteous and meals an opportunity to discover new delights. I could not have done better. And to my driver Manu, I have a highest of praise. He was always punctual, had great sight-seeing suggestions and where appropriate, made sure I knew how to keep myself safe and secure. On the occasion that my mobile phone was lost in Pushkar, without him I would never have been able to purchase a replacement and for his assistance here I am eternally grateful. I thoroughly enjoyed his company, his assistance and honesty. He never let me down. Again, thank you for your recent assistance and service. I hope that future visitors to your exciting country have the opportunity to ride with one of your drivers and I have no hesitation in recommending that they do! I hope that 2015 brings with it health and happiness. Please feel free to contact me if there is ever anything I can help with.
FROM START TO FINISH, I COULDN'T RECOMMEND INDIA PRIVATE DRIVER ENOUGH
We arranged a custom 5 day tour through India Private Driver and couldn't be happier. Bunty was extremely detailed and professional to work with from the beginning. Manu was our driver, and he was fantastic! My friend and I joked the entire trip that Manu was psychic because he would always see us first when we'd return from site-seeing to the car-park, even when he had no idea on our timing. In addition to being extremely reliable, Manu was also a very safe driver and also acted as our guide through Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra. He took us to many sites we never would have discovered on our own. From start to finish, I couldn't recommend India Private Driver enough!
WITHOUT DOUBT THIS WAS AN INSPIRED RECOMMENDATION
Unsure how to travel around India during a very limited stay, a good friend suggested we opt to use a driver to transport us from Jaipur to New Delhi via Agra. Without doubt this was an inspired recommendation and we contacted Bunty, who quickly priced our travel plans and selected Mintu our driver who safely guided us around the three cities. Excellent guidance on restaurants, selection of the guide at the Taj Mahal, who incidentally was brilliant, and great displayed skillful safe driving. We highly recommend India Private Driver and plan to use the team on our next trip to the Punjab.
FROM START TO FINISH THE SERVICE WAS FIRST CLASS
From start to finish the service my friends and I received from India Private Driver and from our driver Rajiv was first class. Rajiv was friendly, knowledgeable and great fun to spend time with during our five days with him. The vehicle we travelled in was comfortable, and Rajiv is an excellent driver. We felt the price we paid was more than reasonable for the excellent service we received, and I have no hesitation in recommending India Private Driver to others. Thanks again guys.

AN OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE TOURING DELHI AND AGRA
My husband and I had an outstanding experience touring Delhi and Agra with Amit, our driver from India Private Driver. The company was recommended enthusiastically by a friend who had used them a few months before we began planning our trip. We had only a few days to spend in the area, and Amit helped us get the most out of it. He was very pleasant, always punctual, protective, and helpful, and his English is excellent. We relied on him to suggest sites to visit in Delhi, and he arranged the schedule to allow us to fit in as many as possible without rushing us. In Agra, he arranged a licensed guide, as required, for a tour of the Taj Mahal ("Bupi"), and we learned a lot about Indian culture from talking with both of them. Amit is an amazing driver, who never even had a close call in the wild and crazy traffic. I highly recommend Bunty's service. I only wish it extended into the South of India, where we had more time.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE TO ANYONE
At very short notice Bunty helped us have the best possible experience of the Golden Triangle - Delhi - Agra - Jaipur. We stayed in lovely hotels which we booked for us and the drive we had, Sushil, was very knowledgeable and helped us with information as well as good places to eat. The experience we had made our stay in India and saved us a lot of stress and worry about finding accommodation. Sushi was a very safe driver and was always very punctual. I would recommend this service to anyone.
GO AHEAD AND BOOK WITH INDIA PRIVATE DRIVER
If you are looking for experience and good customer service, I recommend using India Private Driver. Bunty and staff do their best to ensure you have an outstanding holiday while in India. From the time we were picked up at the airport in New Delhi until we were dropped off at the airport in Udaipur, our driver Amit took care of us, was always on time, and made good recommendations on things to see and do in each city. Go ahead and book with India Private Driver. You won't be disappointed.
EXCELLENT TRIP AROUND NORTH INDIA
Thanks very much for organizing our North India Trip last November/December 14. Bunty, you have been an excellent in communicating from day 1 when I emailed you from New Zealand enquiring about Private Driver with Vehicle. My biggest concern was that we were travelling the first time with 2 young kids. Since I had been to India before, I knew road journey wasn't the safest and I was extremely worried about getting someone who was friendly, easy to get along with, considerate and mostly importantly safe. Bunty, your choice of your driver that your had arranged for us was excellent. Sushil, our driver from the first day become like family. He always kept the car clean and was always ready. He was extremely knowledgeable with Indian history and it was very good for my 2 kids as they learnt alot. Sushil and my husband chatted about not only Indian history and politic but also around the world. I was impressed with Sushil's knowledge. Sushil was a lovely & pleasant person and most importantly was a very safe and careful driver in the reckless Indian traffic. Sushil always gave us good advise about how to handle situations near tourist attraction, eatery and shopping etc. Bunty, I strongly would recommend your service to anyone without hesitation and also Sushil as a driver. Anyone wanting more information about your service, please do not hesitate to email me. Thanks very much for making our India trip memorable, pleasant and safe.
FROM THE MOMENT WE FIRST MADE CONTACT WITH YOU, YOU HANDLED OUR REQUIREMENTS AND REQUESTS PERFECTLY
Having just returned from 2 weeks working and holidaying in India we would like to thank you for organising our car and driver so efficiently and helpfully. From the moment we first made contact with you, you handled our requirements and requests perfectly. Our driver was called Avtar and I would recommend him to anyone - he was exceedingly polite, kind and helpful and looked after us so well. As three women travelling alone he made sure we were safe at all times. He was also able to answer our many questions about India. He drives so carefully negotiating the chaotic Indian roads with patience and humour. Our car was comfortable and clean and having originally thought we would travel by train, we were so happy we switched plans to a car as it allowed us to fit much more into our limited time and to get to exactly where we wanted! If we return to Delhi we would definitely want Avtar as our driver again and would recommend this company to all friends. Kind regards
