Our recent trip through Rajasthan, along with Delhi, Agra, Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar and Amritsar, was an incredible experience, thanks to Bout India. From start to finish, the trip was well-organised, seamless, and filled with unforgettable moments.
The booking process was smooth, and Nitesh was flexible in helping us shape the itinerary to suit our interests. We wanted to stop at Mathura and Vrindavan, and he was able to include these destinations for us. He also helped organise our domestic flights to Amritsar, which was much appreciated.
Agra and Amritsar were particular highlights. In Agra, our guide Anil truly made the experience unforgettable—his knowledge was vast, and he had such an engaging way of bringing history to life. He made our visit to the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort even more special, sharing stories and insights that we’ll always remember.
In Amritsar, visiting the Golden Temple was an incredibly moving experience, and witnessing the Wagah-Attari border ceremony was thrilling—an electrifying display of patriotism and energy that we’ll never forget. The guides provided at each location were excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about their cities.
One thing to be aware of is that guides will try to fit in whatever you want to do during the day, but in doing so, they may skip certain parts of the planned itinerary without always making it clear. It’s worth being upfront about what you do and don’t want to do to ensure you don’t miss anything important.
A special mention must go to our driver, Gaurav, who was a core part of our amazing experience. He was attentive, considerate, and made us feel completely safe on the roads. Not only was he a fantastic driver, but he always went above and beyond to help us, making sure we were comfortable and well looked after at all times. His kindness and professionalism truly enhanced our trip, and we are so grateful for his care.
We also want to acknowledge Geet, who was always on hand to assist us. She was extremely helpful whenever we needed support, quickly stepping in to resolve any issues and making sure things ran smoothly. She also helped make my aunt’s birthday extra special, assisting us in organising a lovely lunch to celebrate the occasion—an incredibly thoughtful touch that we truly appreciated.
One of the standout moments of the trip was having dinner with the Bout India team in Jaipur. It was a really nice experience, and we were grateful for the opportunity to meet the team who had worked hard to organise the trip. It was a thoughtful touch that made us feel even more connected to the people behind the journey.
One thing to be mindful of—if you have any specific requests or requirements made during the booking process, it’s worth double-checking that the team on the ground in India is aware. There were a couple of instances where key requirements (particularly related to medication) were missed. However, once we brought it to the team’s attention, every effort was made to correct the situation, with both Gaurav and Geet ensuring everything was sorted as quickly as possible.
Bout India provided a fantastic service, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to explore India in comfort and style. Their attention to detail, expert planning, and warm hospitality made for a truly memorable experience.
