We were in India from 23 December 2019 to 2 January 2020, a very interesting and full of emotions journey, which certainly enriched us from many points of view and made us reflect. We relied on this Indian tour operator, which we found on the internet and who respected and maintained the proposals covered by the quote. the staff was efficient and courteous, always available to solve the problems and needs that arose during the trip. Special thanks to our. driver / travel companion, RAJENDRA, who was an excellent travel companion, a valuable adviser and an additional guide, managing not only to satisfy all our needs. requests, but also to extricate themselves in a car traffic that is not very "crazy", showing patience out of the ordinary. Thanks again for everything.

We visited Tamil Nadu with IndiaKarni popular vacations from 10 tu 20 january 2020.
We are a couple of italian travellers, 70 and 68 years old and we chose India Karni as tour operator because they can speak italian and there is an italian correspondent in Italy you can get in touch with.
Our driver, Prahbu, was waiting for us at Chennai airport and he took us around the Tamil Nadu to Madurai, where we took a domestic flight to Chennai for our flight back to Italy with Emirates.
Our driver was very good and kind, always helpful and very good in the chaotic traffic of the indian cities. We appreciated also the wi fi connection we could enjoy in our car. The car was good and clean and never caused any problems.
We asked India Karni to provide us with guides in the interesting sites and cities we visited and we were very happy particularly with the lady guide speaking italian who accompanied us in Chennai and Mammallapuram, very professional and well read.
We liked also Punch, the guide who accompanied us in Pondicherry and Auroville, who spoke a very good english.
The hotels we stayed in were generally good, some of them very good, as the Chidambara vilas in Chettinad or the Le Dupleix in Pondicherry; also the hotel in Chennai, The Grand by Grt, near the shopping area.
We didn't like very much the Sangam hotel, in Trichy, very noisy during the night and where you couldn't drink a beer because it is ruled by muslims. Also the restaurant chairs were not too clean.
We ate very well in the restaurants of the hotels and in the restaurants were our guides accompanied us.
we liked very much the beautiful and imposing hindu temples in Tamil Nadu, with their amazing sculptures and their colourful facades. People are friendly and mostly smiling, so that we can say ours was a very nice holiday, that we can recommend to everybody.

Our trip of 23 days in India with Popular India Vacations exceeded all our expectations.
Mr. Karni suggested an itinerary tailored to our needs and offered us a very competitive price. The proposed hotels and tours were wonderful and organized with precision and punctuality.
Throughout the vacation, Mahendra, our driver, fulfilled every wish, making the impossible possible.
For those who want to spend an unforgettable vacation in a diverse and beautiful country like India we would recommend to travel with Popular India Vacations.

We were a spanish group of 11 people to take a tour of northern India and Nepal, organized by Karni. Everything was perfect, very good organization and professionalism by Karni and the guide we had throughout the tour.
Karni proposed an itinerary and hotels that had no problem to change, according to our needs, and it was a wonderful trip, both in terms of the places we visited and the selected hotels.
I have pending to know the south of India, and I have no doubt that I will count on Karni again, for her professionalism and deserving of my total confidence.

My travel companion Lorenzo and I for our 3-week trip to Rajasthan (with extension to Varanasi) relied on Mr. Karni for his recognized professionalism: a serious agency that provided us with an excellent driver and a comfortable car and based on the itinerary we liked, he booked us excellent hotels.Karni took care of every detail of our tour, personalizing and adapting the itinerary to our needs while guaranteeing autonomy which was important for us as we are used to traveling alone. The hotels we stayed in were excellent, sometimes ancient residences of maharajas with staff who were always very kind and available for every need.
We absolutely have to thank our fabulous driver Mahendra, really professional, punctual, always available to our requests, patient in the chaotic traffic and very good in the complicated driving on Indian roads. With him we traveled from city to city receiving useful suggestions on how to deal with certain situations, he accompanied us to excellent restaurants to eat and every day he made us find the car washed and perfumed!In Jaipur we personally met Mr. Karni, who welcomed us with a nice cold beer, invited us to dinner in an excellent restaurant and gave us both a beautiful bedspread!
I highly recommend India Karni as everything was organized down to the smallest detail and above all it allowed us to visit Rajastan without worries and in safety!

We turned to Popular India vacations to rent a minibus (for six people) with driver while we booked most of the hotels on our own and chose the cities to visit.
In fact, we usually organize trips on our own, without relying on third-party agencies, but we must say that the organization offered by Popular India vacations happily surprised us and therefore we would like to recommend this agency for the following reasons.
First of all, the travel program was well balanced and the minibus trips allowed us to rest after perhaps a long visit (under the sun) as well as reach everything we had set out to see, without giving up.
Furthermore, we have always maintained margins of flexibility both in the management of free time and in the choice of places to visit. The local guides with whom it was possible to visit some places and stop at the shops were requested by us and in some cases they proved to be precious suggestions.
But what we really feel like sponsoring Popular India vacations for is the professionalism of our driver, Shankar, whose great punctuality, efficiency, ability to anticipate our needs, availability and sense of responsibility.
Shankar not only proved to be a professional of great value but also our "passage" to get to know, through his stories, the culture, traditions, history and daily life of India and thus contributed to making this trip unforgettable .

We organised a two week tour of Rajasthan with this agency in a private car. Our driver (Hans Raj)was great and handled the chaotic Indian traffic very well. We visited a lot of towns (perhaps too many!) and were surprised by the artistic beauty of the temples and forts. The Taj Mahal is a must but don't underestimate the lesser known places like Jaisalmer, Jodpur, Udaipur . The little known 'Stepwell' (near Jaipur, I think..) was unbelievable.These towns are each one days travel apart but I suppose that's the only way to see them all. When our tour went from Udaipur to Varanasi we decided to change the 7hour train journey to a local flight. What we didn't realise immediately was that the flight was via Mumbai - and took all day anyway! I'm sure this could have been avoided during planning. We booked official English speaking guides at some places and they were WONDERFUL! When they found out my husband was from Italy they started speaking Italian -all three of them spoke PERFECTLY and one had not even been to Italy. Incredible India.

We are a family with two older boys, used to "do it yourself" travel, but this time we had read (and found that it was absolutely true!) that driving in India is absolutely not possible...total chaos on all the roads, cars , scooters, tuk tuks, cows, people ... so we relied on India Karni for a car with driver, the itinerary and the hotels chosen by us. We have planned 10 days of rather forced tours in Rajasthan. We chose Karni both for the excellent reviews and for the price, which was competitive compared to others I had asked for. Our driver and reliable guide was Anand, an expert driver in chaotic traffic, a precious guide who was able to advise us on how to best develop the itinerary we had planned, indicating the best times for the different visits, good-priced but high-quality restaurants , pampered us by always giving us scrupulous recommendations to avoid problems or setbacks. Along the journey he explained fascinating and often mysterious aspects of Indian culture and religion to us, always appearing available to our every request. No small feat, Anand speaks fluent Italian. In Jaipur we met Mr. Karni, who invited us to dinner in a traditional restaurant, together with another group of Italians with kids our age, and it was fun to exchange experiences of travel.
I highly recommend India Karni for anyone wishing to undertake a trip to this wonderful country which will certainly remain in your heart!

I have had the occasion to utilize Mr Singh's Tour services two times now (and a third being planned) and I have found him to be an exceptionally reliable nad knowledgeable operator. The places I have visited include: Bharatpur, Jaipur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Ranthambore, Udaipur, Chittorgarh and Bera leopard sanctuary. The hotel selections have been very good, the vehicle in very good condition with very knowledgeable and courteous drivers on both tours. The choice of a local guide has been very good as well. All in all I strongly recommend Mr Singh's travel service.

Ciao, ho prenotato un tour di due settimane con Karni, la mia domanda è quanti soldi devo portare? Pensavo di caricare la carta per il saldo all'agenzia e portarmi dei contanti, voi quanto vi siete portati?
Written 5 March 2018
scusa dimenticavo le entrate a tutti i monumenti, che mediamente per i turisti sono di 500 rupie ognuno. noi abbiamo prelevato con atm, non con il circuito italiano ma con visa e mastercard. ma devi avvertire in banca, altrimenti rischi che blocchino la tua carta.

Buongiorno, anche noi andremo con India Karni in Rajasthan fra un mese. Volevo sapere se avete prenotato gli ingressi alle varie attrazioni su internet o avete fatto i biglietti direttamente sul posto?
Inoltre quanta libertà si ha durante la giornata?
Grazie
Written 22 August 2016
Ciao. Non abbiamo fatto nessun biglietto prima. In ogni caso sarà l'autista a consigliarvi in merito , quando deciderete il programma della giornata successiva.
Dipenderà da voi quanto tempo dedicare al tempo libero, compatibilmente con i vostri interessi e con i tempi che vanno riservati agli spostamenti.
Ristoranti da non perdere , se sarete in zona, a Udaipur: Amet, a Jodhpur: On the Rocks.
Per il resto, se non avete idee, lasciatevi consigliare dall'autista. Preparatevi a posti molto "spartani" lungo i tragitti. Noi abbiamo adottato la tecnica di non guardarci molto intorno!
Se avrete Shankar come autista, salutatecelo (franca Roberto giulia e silvia di Roma a febbraio).
Buon viaggio!
P.s: Un consiglio: prima vi lascerete andare , prima riuscirete a godere dell'India....

I traveled to India twice with Karni, the first I spent a month and the second time was 17 days in 2010 and 2011. I recommend their services whether yours to India. Seriousness, attention, good cars, highly qualified drivers and very good prices. A different way to travel ... for free but no worries. You can make your personal path, as I did, or choose a path already defined by him. My driver Gatzú is a charm and if I return in the future will not last in traveling with him.
He viajado a la India dos veces con Karni, la primera estuve un mes y la segunda vez estuve 17 días, en 2010 y 2011. Os recomiendo sus servicios si viajais a la India. Seriedad, atención, buenos coches, conductores muy preparados y muy buenos precios. Una manera diferente de viajar...por libre pero sin preocupaciones. Podeis hacer vuestra ruta personal, como hice yo, o escoger alguna ruta ya definida por él. Mi conductor Gatzú es un encanto y si vuelvo en un futuro no duraré en viajar con él.

Magnificent India, I think the best tour made in India in the state of Rajasthan is one with Karni, a magnificent tour we visited all the major cities, historical sites, hidden villages, with the population accompanied by all drivers and guides prepared very careful to our requests. A truly memorable tour of as many as 23 days. The Hotel suggested by Karni always of high quality. Recommended always by Mr. Karni we almost always had dinner outside the hotel, a good choice. Really recommend it to anyone who wanted to do a tour in Rajasthan Karni advice, and is not expensive.!
