Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

When using the Zicasso website to enquire about booking our holiday in India, our travel planner from this tour company was referred to us.
Everything on our holiday was very capably organised by our planner, including our private driver for our trip and the local guides and representatives at each city. The travel planner even provided a phone for us to use whilst in India so that we could contact him if ever we needed to.

We gave an outline of the cities we wanted to visit and requested a specific brand of hotels in New Delhi, Agra, Ranthambhore, Jaipur and Udaipur and a Palace in Jodhpur be booked for our visit. One other specific request our planner organised for us was to lunch at a Lodge under the Banyan tree, which is located in the countryside outside Jodhpur – this was a fabulous experience which I can highly recommend.

Our travel planner organised our driver for our entire trip around Rajasthan. Our driver was excellent. As my sister and I were travelling with our elderly mother who was 86 at the time, we were concerned about travelling in India. Our driver is a very safe and careful driver. His English is extremely good and he cared for our safety. Any fears that we may have had before coming to India about the driving and getting about were totally removed through our driver’s professional and caring approach to us. When we were without a local guide, our driver was also very knowledgeable in providing us information about India’s history and customs.

We were also very happy with the local guides the planner organised to take us around their cities- Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur and our guide when travelling to and visiting the Ranakpur Temple. All these guides were very knowledgeable, charming and professional. Our travel planner also booked our safari trips to the Tiger reserves in Ranthambhore. Our safari drivers and guides were very good.

We left India feeling very satisfied with all the arrangements made for us by our travel planner of this tour company and can recommend him to you.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in India. We loved meeting the many charming Indian people, the beautiful cities, fascinating history and countryside and delicious Indian food. All the hotels we stayed at were exceptional, both in terms of their opulence and also their incredible service-orientated staff who made our visit to India very special. Our favourite hotel we stayed in was in Udaipur - the hotel was superb and the staff took service to the next level.
Feeding Lakshmi - the retired Circus elephant now a pet at a Resort in Ranthambhore, when returning to our hotel after our morning safari was also wonderful.
We also just loved the Palace in Jodhpur. This was a stunningly beautiful hotel. Again the staff were outstanding and made our stay very special.
We really enjoyed our lunch at the Lodge under the Banyan tree, which is located in the countryside outside Jodhpur - this was a really wonderful experience and we felt very special being the only guests for lunch.
It had been a dream of my mother for 50 years to go to India. With such a wonderful driver, our stay in the beautiful hotels, the stunning palaces, interesting markets we visited and the lovely people who looked after us wherever we stayed, all helped make our holiday very memorable. We just loved India and it was a very special holiday.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

We probably would stay an extra night in Delhi at the start and an extra two nights in the Palace in Jodhpur. Otherwise everything was excellent and we would not change anything.
