We booked our tour around Rajasthan, Golden Triangle and Kerala with Bout India. The agency took excellent care of us. Everything was organised so well and we felt in very safe hands. In each destination our tour guides and drivers were friendly, experienced and extremely knowledgeable, and on the whole the hotels were of a very good standard and quality. The agency organised lots of amazing activities for us to do such as visiting palaces, forts, temples, cultural shows, jungle treks, jeep safaris, tea plantation visits and backwater cruising. The staff at Bout India are very helpful and were always in contact. We knew we could get assi.... Read More
Had an amazing 26 day tour organised by Kunal at Bout India. We threaded a fantastic trip across India around 3 of the World Cup cricket matches. Highlights: Mumbai city and Elephanta Caves - great guides helped us to put modern India into perspective - with religion, Moguls, Gandhi and partition in the mix. Ahmedabad - added to our Gandhi knowledge and took a scary tuk tuk ride. Shimla and Dharamshala - fulfilled a long term dream to go to the Dharamshala cricket ground in the Himalayan foothills. And managed to get up and down the Triund Trek. Amritsar - amazing Golden Temple, our guide helped us to join in rolling some chapatis to feed the needy at La.... Read More
Wow! This was a trip of a lifetime. We were travelling to India for a wedding, and having not visited India before we were a bit apprehensive. We so shouldnt have been. From the moment I made an enquiry to Bout India Tours, to the day we said goodbye, we were absolutely delighted with their professionalism and kindness. They organised all our drivers, accommodation, tours and tour guides in Delhi, Agra and Kerala who were amazing. Bout India Tours staff were always available to chat to us 24/7 if we wanted to change our plans at any time. One one day we had 3 tours organised and we decided just to do one of them as were a bit tired and the b.... Read More
Himanshu was always responsive to my e-mail requests for information or changes to the itinerary and set up a lovely trip that covered the sites I really wanted to see. He also checked in with me every day of the trip to ensure I was satisfied. The guides were very knowledgeable and the driver very considerate. It was a lovely trip.
Unbelievable experience. Bout India delivered above and beyond. All the hotels, guides, and drivers were amazing. They were all so helpful and friendly. Geet checked in with me everyday to make sure everything was ok and to detail what I needed to know for the next day. I especially appreciate the change made on the last day to accommodate my last minute flight cancellation. Nothing was too much trouble. Booking online can be a bit hit and miss but Bout India Tours can be relied on no question. Fantastic
My boyfriend and I didn’t know what to expect when we planned a trip to India to attend a friends wedding. Bout India made our trip seamless and unforgettable from start to finish. From Akansha who carefully planned our Golden Triangle tour of North India and our day tours of Kerala, to Geet who made sure we always had a point of contact with someone from the company during the day to day, to our drivers, Mr. Singh and Jackson, the experience was unbelievable. The hotels and guides were amazing, and we feel so grateful that we were able to see this country from the eyes of such knowledgeable guides. I would highly recommend this company to anyon....

Fantastic experience. Self-directed tour. Everything was well coordinated. Attention to detail was great - from flower bouquets in every new city to birthday cakes and balloons! When things weren't perfect - it's India after all - Bout stepped in quickly to fix it. We had a problem with one of the guides in Delhi and the next day we had a new one. When a hotel wasn't up to standard, the director of the company personally fixed it for us. Would surely recommend.
We enjoyed all the places we visited in India. What we really liked were the people we met along the way. Our guides and drivers were amazing. They were kind, thoughtful and full of knowledge about the places we visited. We felt safe and cared for during the entire experience.
Our experience with Bout India was fantastic on all levels: superb organisation, excellent communication, wonderful hotels and accommodation, very professional guides, and a wonderful driver. We are very grateful and hope to travel again with Bout India in the future.
We have passed ten days across India from Delhi to Udaipur through Agra, Jaipur Jaisalmer. We have organized the tour with Bout India, a very professional and tailored made tour operator. They chosed for us wonderful hotels and put at our disposal a personal driver who bring us through India. A special mention to the driver our "Captain Sonu" always ready for us, smailing, professional and very safer drive ( this in India is important). Every day the car was clean, good smell and furnished with cold water biscuit and chips. Very pleasant experience. Thanks Bout India. Thanks "Captain Sonu"
This is my 2nd trip to India with Bout India within 12 months, which should prove that they are the most trustworthy and efficient travel agent if you ever want to explore the amazing country, India. What I love about Bout India is not only their professionalism but also their hospitality spirit and warm welcome to the country. ALL staff members are friendly and easy to communicate from the planning and the departure to your home country. They accommodated my 13 year old daughter and she is already talking about her next visit to India near future. Be open and experience something extraordinary!
I found Bout India through an internet search. Like anything unknown I was weary at first, but because of the immediate response I felt as though they were taking me seriously. Within days we had corresponded several times and had the basis of a tour. Himanshu was on hand at all times to help and advise - he was also not adverse to changing the programme, which happened several times. For 3 months we worked together to arrange our customised tour and when we arrived in India we were not disappointed. Everything that had been arranged - hotel reservations, flights, drivers - worked smoothly. The hotels were great and the .... Read More

This review is long overdue. Vinny and Himanchu listened keenly to understand what we were looking for and then worked tirelessly to create an itinerary that was perfect for my family and I. Indeed we remember it as one of the best vacations we've taken. Our visit from Delhi to Leh to Nubra Valley to Agra to Jaipur and back to Delhi was carefully orchestrated with all the comforts and amenities that allowed for a 1st class travel excursion. We had local guides knowledgeable with the local attractions along the way and Himachu accompanied us on all the domestic travel - both flights and train. It was a delig.... Read More
We are just home from a fantastic tour of the Golden Triangle, organised for us by Boutindia, where we saw some awe inspiring sights. We can’t rate this company highly enough. During the booking period our questions were answered and everything was tailored to our needs. Our driver, Shakti was excellent as were our guides, Harry, Manu and Balwant who were fantastic and so informative about the places we visited. During our tour we were kept in touch by Geet who informed us about guides etc at every stage of our tour. Meeting Nitesh, who had organised our tour was so nice and unexpected. All in all a wonderful trip.
We did 17 days in Southern India from Chennai to Kochi. The tour was amazing! Because we had our own car and driver, we were able to see so many things and had the freedom to stop for pictures, interact with local people and sample so many wonderful foods. Our driver, Raju was wonderful and his oft repeated phrase was “no problem sir (Ma’m)! He was a very safe driver through some perilous roads and was always there when we needed him. Our local guides were knowledgeable and good to help us learn and understand about the places and cultures. Our trip coordinator, Geet, reached out to us almost every day to check in and make sure everythi.... Read More
Just returned from an amazing tour of Kerala and Tamil Nadu coordinated by the capable folks at Bout India. The sights were beautiful, the people delightful and the food incredible. Our driver of the trip, Mr. Dennis, kept us on schedule and made us feel comfortable and safe. He made the trip even more memorable. Mr. Navel, our guide in Cochin provided knowledgeable insights into the history of this wonderful city. Can’t wait to plan our next journey with the folks at Bout India.
Guide and driver for 2 weeks including Himalayas, Delhi, Jaipur, agra and Tiger Safari. It was the most amazing trip of our lives! Bout took care of all details....from airport pickup to airport drop off. Every detail they outlined was perfect. It was our birthdays and they arranged special events at hotels and gave us lovely gifts...multiple times! I highly recommend Bout. The guides and drivers were superb too. Bout made daily calls to us to make sure we were happy and comfortable. I would definitely use them again. Their customer service second to none!
My husband & I travelled with Bout India for 10 days, 11 nights on a private tour in an air conditioned SUV. We visited Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur & Mumbai. Our English speaking driver, Manoj was very knowledgeable & he made sure we saw everything we wanted to see and were comfortable during our trip. In each city we were joined by a different English speaking guide of a very high standard. Bout India pre booked all of our hotels & entrance tickets which made for a seamlessly organised holiday. A Bout India representative was in touch with me on a daily basis to make sure we were enjoying our holiday & were h.... Read More
My friend and I had an amazing time in India and couldn't have planned it without Bout India. We gave them a budget, selected the cities and some of the sites and Bout India did the rest. We were so well looked after from the time we arrived to the time we left. Our driver for 15 days was Bhanwar. He picked us up from the airport and stayed with us throughout our itinerary from New Delhi, to Agra, Jaipur and Jodhpur, Udaipur and Ahmedabad. He is an amazing driver. We felt safe at all times in the hectic traffic. He kept the car clean, well stocked and was very pleasant and helpful always. Gaurav was our main contact with Bout India, and Kun.... Read More
