We contacted Colourful Indian Holidays to organize our trip around the Golden Triangle. We had never been to India before and were therefore keen to organise our travels through a reputable agent to ensure we would experience the most carefree and enjoyable trip possible. Colourful Indian Holidays met and exceeded all our expectations. From when we first contacted them to the day we left India to return home they ensured we were comfortable and very well looked after. The representatives took the time to meet us in person on our arrivalwere constantly in contact throughout our journey to ensure we were well and pleased with the service. They took care of all our transport and accommodation, and it was evident that they had put a lot of thought into planning our trip: our driver was a real gentleman reliable and completely trustworthy (an essential factor as we were just 2 girls on our own travelling across a country we had never been to!) they organised exceptional and knowledgeable tour guides - who were all local to each place we visited – which meant we got more interesting bits of information beyond the text book version of events. Also we never felt pressured or pressed for time and it was refreshing that the guides actually enjoyed showing us around to ensure our experience would be memorable. If it became evident that we had some time on our hands the agent was ready to provide us with suggestions for other small excursions (for example they had organised a last-minute trip to Pushkar so that we might see the famous camel fair). All in all we could not have imagined how the service could have been any better and we will most definitely contact them for any future trips to India . Colourful Indian Holidays are running a business where the needs of the traveller are of the utmost priority and where the main aim is for the traveller to leave India with truly special memories. Please do not add our email ids (for work reasons). Should anyone like any further information about your services directly from us feel free to forward us their queries and we would be very happy to answer

I was a little hesitant about taking the risk of booking our Indian Tour for a group of eight people from the Internet. However Narendra from Colourful Indian Holidays was so prompt and efficient to deal with, and his quote was so affordable for the quality of accommodation and inclusions that it seemed worth taking the risk. We were not one bit disappointed. When we traveled by train the new guide would be waiting right outside our carriage when we arrived at our destination. When we were driven the vehicles were extremely comfortable and spacious. The drivers were excellent and would go the extra mile to ensure we had the best possible experience even stopping for us to take photos when something unusual took our fancy. Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. Narendra helped me to work out an itinerary that worked perfectly and allowed us to see everything possible within our time restraints. I would highly recommend Colourful Indian Holidays for their efficiency friendliness helpfulness and incredible value for money! I look forward to traveling with them again sometime in the future. I do not want to put my email address on the website. However I would be very happy for anyone to contact you and then you pass their email address on to me then I would reply to them. Good luck with that and I do hope your business is very successful for you. I would certainly love to travel in India again sometime. Kind regards Keryn

In March 2017 we booked online the tour "Taj Mahal with Golden Triangle" including Delhi. We were kindly met by a representative at the airport, the hotels were nice (only in Agra we would have liked to upgrade the hotel). We had a wonderful guided trip through Delhi and Rajastan with a friendly, alert and safe driver. We feel, we have seen many highlights of this interesting area, and we can fully recommend Mr. Poonias company

We have nothing but praise for Colourful Indian Holidays (CIH). Not only did they comply with everything promised we were impressed with the following 1. We contacted several tour groups in India that we found on the Internet. CIH was the first to reply. Within a half hour CIH replied both via email and phone. Their prices were very competitive and someone always responded quickly to all our emails even though it might be the middle of the night in India. 2. We needed in addition to the tour to make reservations on a small airline to Dharamsala. We could not do so directly from the United States even by phoning the airline which could not accept credit cards from outside India. CIH handled this for us and collected from us after we were in India. 3. CIH was very flexible in meeting our changing needs/wants. Here are some examples (a) we first wanted to do just the golden triangle but were able to add Kashmir to our itinerary (b) we were able to add a friend to travel with us at the last minute and CIH accomodated her and provided a larger vehicle c) when we missed our flight to India and arrived a day late because of weather CIH rearranged all our itinerary and also contacted our friend who arrived in Delhi on schedule via a different flight.

We booked Golden Triangle (Delhi/Jaipur/Agra/Delhi) tour in April/May 2017 based upon the web site of Colourful Indian Holidays. We were glad that we chose them. Mr. Narindra Poonia was prompt responsive and attentive to our needs. He even modified our tour to include Mathura Krishna Temple darshan for us. He also personally escorted us to memorable ethnic dinner at Choki Dhani. Entire tour was well planned. A/C car the driver guides and hotels all were excellent. We highly recommend them. In a highly competitive India travel business, it is rare to find such professionalism.

Mabuhay I am a travel agent from the Philippines before knowing about Colourful Indian Holidays i had a very big problem regarding the arrangement of the tour package in India of my very important client. As i was surfing the net Ive found the site of Colourful Indian Holidays asking me to input some details regarding the package. Mr Narendra Poonia was the one who replied to me and then we had constant communications regarding the package tour requirements of my client. I was so glad and very thankful that ive found Colourful Indian Holidays in the person of Mr Narendra Poonia for they are really flexible. At first i was quite nervous dealing from someone whom i didnt met in person but because of the trust that Mr Narendra Poonia showed i was able to trust him also Below are the comments/message of my client regarding their trip. Lei we enjoyed the tour very much...well worth the price I paid. The tour guides were very respectful friendly and knowledgeable. I couldnt ask for anything more. Thank you Lei. By the way.....The Taj Mahal is a sight to behold....you should see it yourself. I am wishing that there will be many Mr Narendra Poonia from other places whom i can deal with and do more business transactions. One thing more i could say that Mr Narendra Poonia really knows how to take care of his clients with all sincerity and trust and do gives service more than enough And to all the people of Colourful Indian Holidays keep up the good work and may you have more business to come.

Hi Narendra, I just wanted to send you an e-mail and tell you how much I enjoyed my time in India . It was quite an interesting trip and gave me so much perspective and appreciation. One of the highlights was definitely spending time with you in Jaipur. Thank you again and I’ll let you know the next time I find myself in India or Nepal .

The trip that Colorful Indian Holidays organized for me and my friend was a great experience. We had a nine days private tour and saw the Golden Triangle, plus Khajuraho temples and Mandawa village. Everything was perfectly done, we were having a guide or an agency representative waiting for us in every single site or place we were visiting. Very courteous people, good guides to give us lots of interesting information about the places we were visiting. In all, Colorful Indian Holidays made our trip a very pleasant and unforgettable event.

Colorful Indian Holidays and in particular Narendram did a phenomenal job in organizing a Golden Triangle tour in three days for my fiance and myself. Despite numerous emails with our plans changing along the way, Narendra was patient and prompt in his responses. The only thing we did not like was the hotel that was chosen in Jaipur. Otherwise the guides and drivers did a great job in showing us the highlights of India. They were always on time and willing to take us on a detour to quaint shops when we got overwhelmed with the historical aspects. I would happily recommend this companys services to future visitors.

Colorful Indian Holidays did an excellent job customizing a trip for my family and me( extremely flexible to all our needs ). Their service was over the top and their prices were very reasonable (actually much better than the other tour agencies we contacted ) So the bottom line is if you are going to India and you want someone to organize a great tour with great pricing , you should contact Colorful Indian Holidays and be assured you will have a tremendous time in beautiful India. Good luck with your business. The kids are still talking about what a great time we had in India .

Dear all, I would like to spend some lines to share with you our experience in India and Colourful Indian holidays. We had no many days to spend in India and we decided to get in touch with some agencies to get their help in organizing our trip. Finally we choose Colourful Indian Holidays for the kidness of Narendra, always availability with the last minute changes, and his underestanding in organizing a very nice trip with a small budget. I strongly recommend that if you have the experience of spending some days in India and you want to trust in somebody...Colourful Indian holidays are your friend... Thanks Narendra for making us that the trip so easy, we will never forget the experience in India and we are looking forward to coming back very soon.

Dear Narendra, I want to thank you for arranging a very eventful and well organized 6 day vacation thru the golden triangle for me and my family this March. I was a little worried when the trip began because my mom, who is 73, was with us and I was not sure how she was going to handle it. This was going to be one of her trips of a life time and we were all very excited. However, being from Canada, where there are relatively few people and it not so busy, I was worried about how she was going to react to all the people and the culture shock. I thought it might be a bit overwhelming for her. But as soon as we landed in Delhi and we were met by our guide, the driver and his assistant, I soon discovered that we were in very good hands. Everyone was very kind and understanding and they answered all our questions and they made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The hotels were also comfortable and we were reasonably close to most of the attractions. We especially liked the Fern Hotel in Jaipur and the Howard Mansing Hotel in Agra. Very comfortable. We were very busy during our 6 days and we saw many beautiful sites and we shopped to our hearts content. The Taj Mahal was even more amazing in person than I expected. I also was very pleased with some of the locations we visited in Delhi and Jaipur. Also, we were able to shop everywhere and we ended up with some beautiful gifts at a reasonable price for our family and friends. Finally, I was really impressed with our driver. The driving was very safe and he made sure that our valuables were looked after and secure when we were away from the vehicle. At the attraction sites, he also went out of his way to make sure that we had good access points so as to be as close as possible. Our driver even went out of his way to get his friend in Jaipur to take us to the local market and shopping street..his friend was a real gentlemen and he helped us know the local prices. We had several guides and they treated all very well, but one guide near Agra took us to too many shopping areas where his friends had businesses. it was OK to begin with but then it got to be a little too much but when we told him that we needed to go, he listened to us. Thanks again for the helping us with a great holiday to India.

Dear Mr. Poonia, It has been a while since we returned from our Golden Triangle Tour with Coloutful Indian Holidays.I often reflect on our trip and the many wonderful sights we had the pleasure to encounter. I cant imagine attempting such an adventure without the assistance of your very capable driver Raju. He was a careful protective and considerate gentleman whose company we greatly enjoyed. I would think that more careful consideration should be taken with planning the logistics of each day of the trip.The planning seemed somewhat disappointing since we missed several sights because we started out too late or our guide spent too much time talking or bringing us to shops or we were taken to a sight on a day when it was closed or we were advised by the guide not to see a key sight that in retrospect we really should have seen. This really was a once in a lifetime trip and I will mix my had there been a little more careful planning.

I am so glad that we booked this trip! Narendra made the planning and booking phase so easy, and none of my requests/changes was an issue. We were arriving into Cochin on a cruise ship and wanted to spend 4 days seeing the sights in Cochin, Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, then get to Dubai in time to rejoin the ship. Because of this, we had very fixed dates. Narendra came up with a programme that allowed us to visit all the sights we wished to see and ensured that we didn't miss a thing! Our driver and guide in Cochin were great, they met us at the port at the time we had arranged, and showed us the sights in a comfortable, air-conditioned car. Once sightseeing was complete they delivered us to the airport for a flight to Delhi. At Delhi airport we were greeted by the wonderful Hari, our driver for the next three days. Hari was always cheerful and helpful, and very attentive to our needs. He was an excellent driver, and his car was kept clean, cool and was very comfortable. Hari drove us from Delhi to Jaipur, from Jaipur to Agra, and then from Agra to Delhi over the next three days. The guides in Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra were all very knowledgeable, friendly and all spoke excellent English (as did Hari). We saw some awe-inspiring and ancient sights, and never had to stand in a queue. We had plenty of opportunity to make changes to the itinerary, and found time to participate in activities such as a rickshaw ride through old Delhi, and watching a snake charmer at work. There were opportunities to shop if you wanted, but we chose not too - and that was OK too. An additional stop at the Abhaneri Step Well was fabulous, and not too much of a detour along the Jaipur - Agra road. The hotels were good quality, and all provided breakfast (included in the tour cost). All also had evening meals available, great after a long day of sightseeing. At the end of our time in India, Hari returned us to Delhi airport, for a flight to Dubai. We spent such a little amount of time in India, but because of the itinerary put together for us by Narendra, and the amazing guides and drivers we had, we feel that we absolutely made the most of the time we had. If you are looking for a company to help you make the most of your time in India, this is the one!

I travelled for 5 days from Delhi, Agra to Jaipur and would very much recommend this tour operator. From the beginning, my tour guide Peejah was there to meet me at Delhi airport and the following day he brought me to all the sights. He was very patient and could not do enough. Then my tour guides Sunni in Agra and Ude in Jaipur were very knowledgeable about all the cultural sites and historic places. The hotels in all three places were wonderful and with a great service. I would highly recommend to anybody wanting to experience the Golden Triangle tour as they were very organised and with a very good itinerary. Also, this is a very beautiful part of the area especially for those who like history and culture.

We booked a Golden Triangle Tour (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) and a tour in Kochin. The hotels that they booked us in for the golden triangle tour was perfect. Our driver, Mr Raju was simply the best - a kind, soft and patient man. He provided lots of laughter and fun facts about India during our one week. He never rushed us during any of our tours or shopping and was always on time every morning to fetch us. Given the erratic driving in India, we always felt safe with Mr Raju at the wheel. Everything about our tours were planned well and would highly recommend to anyone visiting India.

Thank you Narenda for putting together a very enjoyable tour for us. The tour guides and local agents in each area met us promptly and our driver was wonderful. Our driver acted as a tour guide himself answering our questions and showing us interesting things along the way. I cannot recommend him highly enough The hotels we stayed in varied in quality but this was largely to do with our budget constraints. I loved our Heritage Hotel in Agra and want to thank Narenda for finding this one for us. It was a beautiful hotel I wouldnt recommend the Raj Palace in Ranthambore to other guests and would not recommend a full day safari there as this was far too long (and we spent an uncomfortable 3 hours lying on make-shift beds in the middle of the reserve without a toilet while we waited for our afternoon safari). The tour was good value and though the driving we tried to achieve was perhaps a little too much for a 5 day tour the company worked so hard to ensure we could do everything we wanted. We met 3-4 tour guides on our way and only one did not meet our expectations. The others were really informative and so friendly. I really enjoyed all the places we saw on our route and thank Package India very much for all their work in planning this. Narenda was so patient with all my changes and requests and treats his customers very well.
