          Good
          We have not seen any tiger, but we have seen a few other animals - birds, deers, monkeys, crocodiles. It’s good for open forest. Guide, manager and driver were reliable. 5/5.

          Great visits
          A 6th century fort and UNESCO world heritage site. The road to the fort is equality attractive. It passes through dense forests. Divining thru this road is a unique experience. The main attraction of this fort is it's gates which are places at 90degree angle from the pathway to save it from breakage by elephants and wood logs. The fort houses 4 main temples and 1 jain temple.

          A must do!
          My experience at ranthambore was amazing. We did 3 tours in zone 2,3&4 and got 7 sightings! (2&4 by gypsy, 3 in cantar) We went in June, at the end of the dry season meaning that the parks nature was not at its most beautiful, however the higher chances of tiger spotting well made up for it. Zone 4 had great diversity, with lots of deer, birds, boar, crocodile, antelope & more. We managed to see two tigers mating in zone 4 Zone 2 was great, we saw 5 tigers total, including a mother tiger and her 3 not so small cubs, whom were chasing a sloth bear. They came right by our gypsy vehicle, with the mother tiger being only a metre away from me. Zone 3, despite unfortunately not seeing a tiger, has such natural beauty. Massive rainfall the night before resulted in the lakes filling, and lots more greenery. The tour company, especially Laxman were so helpful, making the trip from booking until on the tour itself so smooth and easy! There are many low rated reviews on here, mainly due to people being late to book and getting stuck with not so great zones. I recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance to get good zones (1-6 , although the people whom are helping you with your booking through this site will help you), and to get the opportunity to do the tour by gypsy opposed to cantar (gypsy is 6 seat jeep, cantar 20 seater) Gypsys are much better, as you can get in much better positions, aswell as much more movement. I felt like when i was in the cantar we were just waiting around for a gypsy to spot a tiger (which didnt happen). Overall great experience. Hotel Saif Ranthambore was great too!

          It was amazing. Great safari zone 4 and 2. Guides were helpful and were thorough when looking for wildlife. Tour operator contacted us who told us when to be ready and which vehicle we were travelling in. A totally amazing tour Highly recommend the company and the driver. They were all about making sure you were happy with their service.

          Odds are next to zero that you will see any tigers in RNP
          Nothing wrong per se w/the operator of this tour. However, here is the MAJOR issue-they state the tour "gives you a good chance of seeing tigers, as well as other animals and birds.". Wrong. There is a beyond miniscule chance of seeing a tiger at all which is the main reason anyone goes here. Online there are numerous sites stating that there "may" be around 70 TOTAL tigers in the whole park. Think about that. Sure you will see some birds. Perhaps a couple of deer. And maybe a crocodile. That's about it. This whole park is yet another typical "tourist" scam that all of pathetic India is famous for-all hype, no payoff. A total joke-waste of time and money. And these canter jeeps are terrible-almost no suspension so you feel every bump, every minute. You see-this is not a "safari" like in Africa. The terrain is wooded and hilly-not an open savanna like say in Botswana which just teems w/a huge range of wildlife including lions. In Botswana the only "cat" you may not see is a leopard. Why? Because they are notoriously elusive-just like tigers unlike lions. I mean just check out the customer pic here-the dude in the "simplify" t-shirt's face says it all-all of the 16 or so people in my canter were completely bored-no one was happy at all. In short, one of the worst nature experiences of my life. Do not go if you really want to encounter a tiger in its natural habitat.

          Communication is the key
          Good communication long before departure, we ended up booked several other trips through them and generally the cars are clean, the drivers are professional and relatively safe in the busy India traffic.

          AC car is better than a jeep in summery
          Nice looking fort, good communication before the tour, offered AC car instead of Jeep which is a blessing in such a hot season. Punctual driver with a comfortable ride.

          No tigers today but professional guide and good ride
          We got a gypsy by ourselves and the ride is definitely more comfortable than a canter. We were not able to see tigers or bears for our trip at zone 6 but the guide still showed us many other animals.

          Great experience
          We were lucky and were able to see three tiger cubs with their mother at zone three. The guide was professional and was enthusiastic to show us where the tigers are. Apart from the tigers we were also able to see many other animals and beautiful scenes.

          Amazing service and comfortable transfer
          Via Getyourguide we booked a last minute transfer to get us from the Ranthambore National Park to the airport in Jaipur. The trip costs as much as taking an Uber but with less hassle!! We were contacted after our booking to confirm our driver and time via WhatsApp which was comforting. We had a safe and quick journey and were even earlier than expected. After our journey we were asked if we made everything on time and if all went well. The service was amazing and I highly recommend booking this transfer service if you are in the area!

          Self-guided tour of Ranthambore Fort and Temple with jeep pick-up and drop off
          Self-guided 3.5 hour early morning tour of the fort and Ganesh temple. Picked up from our hotel on time and dropped off in the car park area of Ranthambore Fort. Upon completing the tour the driver kindly took us to a money exchange to convert our pounds to rupees as we were low on cash. We also requested to purchase Ranthambore Safari souvenirs and the driver took us to a market store with very reasonable prices.

          Zone 3 Cantar Safari
          It was such an amazing experience to witness the awe of not just one but two tigers! The guide was exceptional at pointing things out and stopping to ensure we could all get pictures of not just the animals but the fantastic scenery that surrounds it all! Have more booked and can't wait!

          Once in a lifetime experience!
          Absolutely amazing. We went on 3 safaris - zones 3 and 4 were on cantars, and zone 7 on a gypsy. We were lucky enough to see a tiger in zone 7! All three zones are beautiful but quite different landscapes - zone 3 is very beautiful with lots of water holes so a variety of wildlife. Zone 4 was beautiful and less busy. Zone 7 has fewer water holes but beautiful views and it was where we saw the tiger so is now my fave. Having spoken to a few people and now from our own experience, seeing a tiger is very much down to luck!!! So the more safaris you can do the more chances you have. I can't recommend this company more highly - very well organised, extremely helpful with their suggestions of zones, and very good communication. 🐯🐅

        Great trip and as it was end of season it turned into a private tour as there were no other guests 👍

        It was a fun experience. We got to see quite a few crocodiles and alligators up close. Highly recommended to get a pair of binoculars for this. One suggestion would be to just get a car till the river bank instead of a gypsy as most of the ride is through the village and it's no fun going in the gypsy.
