    Best tour operator in New Delhi
    The best experience to Rishikesh and Haridwar with our tour operator, Rajpal Rana of Mam tours, he was very informative, learned and experienced with the tour. He made our tour a pleasure as I was travelling with my 6 year old daughter. Highly recommended. And a tour operator who puts his clients needs first. Thank you Rana From.

    Rishikesh and Haridwar
    Rishikesh and Haridwar tour was wonderful thanks to Ajay. He was so knowledgeable, spoke English well, was very engaging and caring. He guided us through the crowds for the Aarti ceremony in Haridwar, found us seats, and explained it all very well. He’s the best! Always ask for Ajay!

    Avoid! Total Scam! Read for details
    Absolutely a scam! Driver picked us up and he was great and helpful, but after 3-4 hours getting to Vrindavan it turned out there was NO GUIDE! Which I talked to the company and they said the guide was our driver, but he seem to be new to the place and had no knowledge he could share, also didn’t spoke much English. Company promised to get a guide on Mathura for us, which turns out they just got someone last minute to walk us through and he didn’t had enough knowledge on the place and again not very good English. All the things the guide mentioned turned out not to be correct, once I got to the hotel to try to learn more since I was left with many questions. Last but no least, there was no boat ride, I was confused since we went to Vrindavan first and I had no good internet to check the itinerary, but at the end in Mathura no one took us to any boat ride. The company said we “declined” the boat ride which was not true, and if they claim was a miscommunication issue then it’s their fault anyway for not managing the itinerary properly, getting last minute guides, and not getting guides that could speak English. So in the end, I had no tour to learn about the culture, no boat ride, and had a ride or 3-4 hours each way to get nothing out of it. It is a shame because temples were amazing and people where very welcoming even when it didn’t look like a touristy place. I went to other tours and never had an issue like this, absolutely a scam, so avoid at all costs.

    amazing driver (rana)
    wonderful driver to be with. let me start with the first introduction. He greeted us with a warmly smile and we knew he was going to be a great driver. with amazing customer service he pays attention to the small details like preparing the car with two water bottles on each door and making sure the car is clean before each drive. he knows his roads and never missed a turn and makes sure we are comfortable in the vehicle. he is an experienced driver and a family orientated man. during each drive he always makes sure the family has a smile on our faces. he is a must when travelling to india

    Absolutely Not Recommended
    This tour company only provided us with a non-English driver not an an actual Tour Guide. The driver while a nice guy had absolutely no idea about the places we were going to. No boat rides, no rickshaw rides. I do not blame the driver here as he’s only a professional driver not a tour guide. Full responsibility should be taken by MAM Tours for misleading their customers and charging a very expensive tour. Do not recommend this tour at all.

    Amazing time in Rajestan with our driver Mr. Rana
    We had an amazing time on our trip to India. Our driver Rana enhanced our experience with his expertise of the area and its history. With his guidance, we were able to immerse ourselves in the culture in a way that we wouldn’t be able to otherwise. I highly recommend this tour with these amazing people to guide.

    We booked a driver for a trip to Jaipur and Agra (total 3 days). We were so happy to had Rana as a driver. He is a very good and safe driver and really friendly. He explained a lot. We really enjoyed our days with him. Thank you so much Rana for your help, safe trip and so much fun with you. It was a pleasure.

    A Wonderful trip to Himachal Pradesh
    It was our first tour to Himachal Pradesh and was most enjoyable. I was personally concern about the tour as assigned driver to our tour was very rude while taking to him day earlier to trip. Then on very immediate base driver was change and we were given new driver Mr. Rajpal Rana Ji. As earlier driver experience was not so good so was very worried. But maybe it was gods choice who wanted use to meet such a good person like Rana Ji and make our Himachal Trip such a memorable. Rana Ji, was really friendly and he was very knowledgeable of all the sights. He was excellent at explaining all the history of the monuments and sights. He made us feel at ease and was very patient whilst we took our time looking at the sights and taking photographs. He always gave me good advice and was also singing in the car Indian songs sometimes which was nice and authentic very kind and helping. Our journey was perfect with Rana Ji, 10 days and 1800km around Himachal Pradesh the treat was very comfortable, friendly and polite. Ranaji always kept the car clean and tidy and also conformable. I do remember my son who is 1.5 yrs old vomited in car and it was smelling very bad, and as the whether in Himachal was too cool it was not feasible to take water in the hand, but Ranaji cleaned the whole thing with such a chilled water which was really appreciable. Although the trip was very long but Rana made it enjoyable by explaining many things about the places we passed by and also about the Indian culture and also sometime about his own family members and personal stories and experience. What an amazing experience this trip has to offer. The long journey was made very pleasurable by the very competent driver Rana, his road skills were outstanding on these Indian roads. His driving was very safe and comfortable. Two days before the trip end Rana Ji had a personal emergency but he stood strong till he drop back to our last destination. We are really thankful and happy to Rana Ji for giving us such a beautiful experience. I will always recommend Mr. Rajpal Ranaji for all our future trips.

Definitely not worth the $ I paid. It was short although the guide tried to make the best of it. The places were not really that interesting, The museums do not allow photo taking and the exhibits were not well laid out. Bangalore is a place for business and not for tourism

My colleague and I have enjoyed the services of with Mr. Raghu (guide) and Mr. Xavier (driver) we visited all the points of interest agreed with a private tour for 2.
Raghu has a very good English, it was great.
The car was clean and the driver was great in the traffic. Raghu was pleasant and really allowed us to get to know lots about the Indian culture with dedication.
The place we went for lunch wasn't great but it was because my colleague absolutely wanted to have some local "cheap" biriani.

Although we decided not to go inside a place where you have to pay to take pictures as matter of principles, for further clarity see the extra each person would have to pay not included in the cost of the trip as mentioned an advertised:
- Lal bagh garden rs 20.
- Tippu s summer palace rs 200.
- Bangalore palace rs 480.
- To take pictures with digital camera rs 980.
- To take pictures with mobile camera rs 280.
For 1 person

Overall a very good trip, recommended.

Missed out on Nandi Hill visit after getting stuck in city traffic, visiting places of interest in city. Better to head straight to Nandi, come back & visit all other places. Though the cab fare of Rs.3300, which is standard across all tour operators, includes max of 300 k.m in almost 12 hrs, you may not cover more than 50+ k.m, given the traffic conditions. Since I was visiting B'luru after almost 20 years, found the city too crowded, little dirty & polluted with lot of traffic snarls. Mysuru is far better for a 1 day tour

Great use of time -- got to see many sights in Bangalore in one day that would have taken us much longer to get to if we were on our own. Our guide was good but it was tough to ask follow up or in-depth questions b/c language was a challenge. (Our guide spoke 9 languages so it was amazing that he was able to speak English as well as he did.) Bangalore is a challenging city to explore on your own so very helpful to have guides to take you through. They also showed us places we wouldn't have considered visiting. Highly recommend a tour.

We had yesterday the tour with Peter and his driver friend. This was a great experience for us, two girls in Bangalore :). Peter showed us the Bangalore Palace, the temples, the markets and the nicest places in the city. We totally recommend Peter and his friend.

First trip to Bangalore and in an effort to efficiently visit the sites, we booked this tour for just me and a friend. Saleem picked us up at our hotel right on time in a comfortable vehicle that was air conditioned (trust me you'll want/need this amenity as it can get quite warm). To be clear, it was a pretty simple/average vehicle so do not expect something luxurious, but it definitely was comfortable and safe.

The driver was mostly quiet but warm when engaged, and most importantly, he was safe/efficient. I didn't worry one time, despite the traffic in Bangalore being notoriously bad.

Saleem, however, was the star of the show. He was very knowledgable and has a great spirit about him. He's charismatic and was always concerned about our level of comfort/understanding.--no extra sales tactics or anything.

The sites were OK in my opinion. Nothing to do with the tour at all, it's just that Bangalore is pretty westernized (known as the "Silicon Valley of India" after all). For his part, Saleem was super accommodating about taking us wherever we wanted to, even if it didn't reflect the original tour itinerary.

The only one thing that I'd say is that I could've skipped the shopping. I'm not the type to want to go shopping for trivial things anyway, but the two spots we went were especially knick-knack-y and the shop owners were pretty relentless, making for a somewhat uncomfortable experience (and this is coming from a guy who has bargained in the outdoor markets of SE Asia). I mean, this is an issue everywhere in India so I guess it shouldn't have come as a surprise, but long story short, I would've skipped the shopping altogether.

Otherwise, the overall experience, especially with Saleem and all the information he had to offer, was really enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone!
