Vijay was fantastic to help us organise our 4 days around Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. We already had our accommodation booked and his suggested itinerary around this was great! Rahul our driver was always on time and helped us with anything we needed whenever😊. The car we had for 4 days with Rahul as our driver was spotlessly clean, and had everything from water, snacks, sanitiser, tissues etc daily.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Time India Travel to anyone especially if time is an issue, as it saved us so much time not having to work out getting around for sightseeing everyday.

When presented with an opportunistic but short stay in India we turned to friends that had recently travelled there for a recommendation. Times India Travels was suggested. An organised tour like this is not the normal way we roll however given our limited 10 days it sounded like the best option.
And it certainly was! Vijay was prompt and helpful in getting an itinerary organised and we now appreciate the careful and expert detail that allowed us to make the best use of our limited time. We travelled Udaipur, Jodpur, Jaipur, Agra and Dehli.
We were greeted by Vijay in Jaipur and it became evident that despite his company operating for 15 yrs he was continually looking for feedback on how he could improve. And as stated this resulted in an excellent overall experience for us. Vijay and his team obviously care greatly that everything goes well and do their best to ensure it does.
Special mention to our wonderful driver Raj. He was such a significant part of the wonderful experience, a kind and caring person foremost, and a truly excellent driver navigating the exciting Indian traffic with a safe fluidity that never ceased to impress. We love you Raj and appreciate the extra sights you showed us.
India is wonderfully hectic place to visit and we highly recommend Times India Travels (as obviously do many others) as a great way to get the most out of your trip.

My husband and I have recently returned to the UK after the most fantastic 2 weeks touring Rajasthan. Words can’t even explain how amazing our first experience of India was.
We experienced 5 start service from my first enquiry to our final goodbye at the airport. Vijay was great at tailoring a trip to our interests and ideas and happy to arrange anything you wish for a very reasonable price.
Our driver Rahul safely got us around and was extremely helpful and flexible with our itinerary, such a kind man who we will remember forever. Highly recommend stopping by Jain temple if you are travelling to Udaipur, the most stunning drive and by far best temple we experienced.
100% recommend booking with Times Travel for a holiday of a lifetime!

We connected with Times India Travel while planning our 3 weeks trip to India, mostly through Rajastan, Delhi and Agra. Vijay was very responsive in getting all the details and arranging transportation for our family. Our driver was very professional and helpful with all sorts of needs of our family. At each city, we had a very knowledgeable guide who was also instrumental in seamlessly getting us to all the key attractions we planned to visit. Half way through the trip, we decided to make some changes to our itinerary and Vijay was very accommodating. Overall, a very positive experience! I highly recommend them. One recommendation I would make is to engage with them at early stages of your planning. Because we did advanced planning and hotel booking on our own, we have missed the opportunity to benefit from Vijay's deep knowledge of the country and how different types of travelers make best of their time in a country that offers so many possibilities.

Vijay and his team did a fantastic job with my 6.5-week trip through India. I gave him a list of places I wanted to visit, and he customized a wonderful itinerary covering nearly two dozen cities. He booked all accommodations and even flights, saving me lots of time and trouble.
First up was Delhi, then Rajasthan, and then Agra. Rahul was our fantastic driver, and he made sure we were always comfortable.
Then we took flights to Varanasi, then Mumbai, then Aurangabad, and then South India. In South India, we drove through Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka. Vijay coordinated with friends and another agency to make these legs of the trip memorable as well.
Some highlights:
>Most major forts throughout Rajasthan
>Jeep safari
>Camel safari
>Participating in Rajasthani folk dance
>Sunset boating in picturesque Lake Pichola
>Dinner with Vijay and his team
>Cooking class with a local and her family
>Taj Mahal (of course)
>Holy Aarti fire ceremony
>Sunrise boating through the Ganges
>Taj Mahal Palace (in Mumbai)
>Ellora Caves
>Ajanta Caves
>Colorful Hindu gopurams all throughout Tamil Nadu
>Houseboating in Kerala
>Kalaripayattu fight show
>Kathakali cultural show
>Breathtaking tea estates
>Otherworldly Hampi
Beautiful sites, comfortable accommodations, delicious food, consistent access to wifi — overall, this first trip to India was spectacular. I was hesitant about paying 50% upfront online and then 50% upon meeting Vijay early on in the trip. But he and his team were nothing but trustworthy and professional.
Thank you, Times India Travels!

We used Times India Travels to book a couple of drivers and we were not disappointed at all! From the first correspondence with Vijay, I was put at ease that he would handle everything and make sure we were taken care of. We had a driver for one day in Delhi to take us around to the sights and he was professional, kind, and safe. The car was very nice and clean with AC and he went out of his way to make sure we had a good day.
Our second driver was with us for 3 days and he was absolutely amazing. Again, the car was so clean and well appointed. He was a very safe driver (which I had asked for specifically as India driving is crazy!). He had a lot of knowledge and was a good conversationalist. He was polite and respectful; never steered us wrong. On the contrary, he actually made sure we were always safe, especially the few times we had to use an ATM. I was pretty nervous about getting a driver for such a long distance but Mr. Himmat was truly a gem. I loved our road trip with him!
Vijay is also fantastic - quick responses, very knowledgable, great recommendations. By the time we found Times India Travels, we had already booked our accommodations but next time, I would just book the whole package through Vijay. He had provided me with a sample itinerary and it was almost exactly what we were doing and would have saved us a lot of time and headache researching unknown areas!
I have already recommended Times India Travels to others and will continue to do so! I can't wait to go back to India and use them again. 100% whole heartedly recommend!!

If you are looking for a travel agent to you give you a trip of a lifetime, STOP looking. You have found the right place. We love to travel and have had the good fortune of seeing many places. Without question, Times India Travels and Vijay gave us the best experience we have ever had. He made the celebration of my seventy second birthday the best ever. From the initial contact forward, Vijay provided the personal attention that only the owner of a company can provide, unlike the large impersonal companies you find on the web. He was always available by phone as we were making our travel arrangements. He made many changes without complaint. The excellent service continued throughout our 3 week stay in India. We traveled the Golden Triangle and then went down to Kerela. The driver we had was gracious, always on time and attended to our every wish. The car was spacious and spotlessly clean. The guides were informative and friendly.
We told Vijay we wanted a first class adventure and that is what he gave us, with beautiful hotels, private guides that took us through the markets, led us to great food and explained India culture. All this at a very reasonable price. We thought India would be a hard trip but Vijay made it very comfortable. On a personal note we were able to spend some time with Vijay and his business partner Nori and we became friends. We will return to India again. If you want a luxurious India vacation, have 3 weeks to enjoy, tell Vijay to give you the Everett and Margaret trip. You will thank me.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Times India Travel. Vijay organized our whole 16 day trip, including visits to 9 cities in Northern India. He did a stellar job, getting 5 star gorgeous hotels, always an endless delicious breakfast included, local guides at each city with the advantage of knowing their city, a special cooking class in Jaipur, and more. We had the freedom to explore as we wished since it was just me, my husband, and our most outstanding, kind, patient, and knowledgeable driver, Himat. Himat even bought Paul a bright colored turban for his birthday to wear all day! Himat also helped us pick out the best restaurants for dinner. He knows his stuff.
Such a great experience, and Vijay and his team thought of everything from camel rides, boat rides, tours, visits to artisans' factories, etc. Vijay was also incredibly available and responsive in emails as we arranged the trip. Top Notch experience! Highly recommended.

Carol and I had a fantastic trip visiting most of the major sites and stopping in 4/5 Hotels during our 14 day break.
Vijay and his staff were attentive to our every need.
This was without a doubt the best vacation we have ever been on
Would certainly recommend 👍

I have planned a trip with this company, and have paid a deposit. I have sent 3 messages now, but still no reply.
We are disappointed enough, without having this type of service. All I need is an answer, as my insurance need evidence that they won't pay back.
Please respond 'Times India Travel'

Hello There,
Apologies for late reply on this review.
Also, sorry for late response as there were some technical issues on our website when you messaged us in 2020.
Apparently, when you planned your trip to India, due to covid situations it wasn’t possible for you to travel as the tourism was shut. Also, would like to mention that as it is against our company policy to refund the payment prior 30 days to your arrival, we suggested you postpone your trip to whenever you wanted to travel irrespective of time span and the amount will be managed there. We did respond to you about how you can claim the insurance, even though you weren’t eligible for refund from the company.
We contacted you as soon as tourism reopen in India in 2022 as well and suggested you to make use of the amount you’ve already paid and plan your trip to India soon, but you turned us down.
Hoping you were able to claim your insurance and still offering you to travel with to India whenever you feel like in future and make use of the amount already paid.
Thank You
Times India Travels

We are booking a trip for September 2019 with Vijay.
How did you do the payment to him?
He said we have to pay 50% deposit and the rest in cash on arrival?
How did it work with you?
Written 12 July 2019
Hey there Siendiewereld, Pretty much just like he said. I can't remember how we paid him the 50%. I think Paypal. My husband handled that and I can't remember. But then we simply took cash for the balance. I know it was kinda nerve racking traveling with that much cash but we divided it between us and after he retrieved us from the airport, early the next morning, he came with his assistant to one of our hotel rooms ( we were 3 couples) and the assistant simply took it and we were off with Vijay and our amazing driver, in the amazing passenger van to see Old Delhi! No fuss. Does that answer your question?
Written 13 July 2019
Based on the tour did the company provide you what you expected and outlined and did not take you shopping ? There are so many tour companies out there so just wondering why you selected this company ?
Thanks
Written 1 November 2017
Hi there. The company provided what we expected, and we would highly recommend this company. Members of our family went on a tour organized by them, and they recommended Them to us. The guides that were contracted by Times India Travel were all local guides not employed by them. Some spoke limited English. Some were great, and some not so good. Overall, we had a great experience. Shopping was suggested as part of the tours, and it was entirely up to us whether we wanted to participate or not. Many times, we chose to go so that we could learn about the process of jewelry making or carpet weaving, for example, and we were never pressured to buy anything.

How does Vijay go about collecting payment,any concerns?
Written 16 May 2017
Sorry I missed this question until now. At the time of booking we paid a deposit via direct bank deposit into Vijay's Indian bank account and then did the same thing for the final payment when we arrived in Delhi. It was easy enough to do from our Australian bank account. We were travelling with American friends who had to use PayPal and I think Vijay had them pay the PayPal fees and PayPal gives a very poor exchange rate.
