smooth, hassle free...wonderful way to tour India!

17-Nov-2017

GeTS Holiday planned a custom 12-day safari visiting Ranthambore, Bandhavgarh & Kanha National Parks in search of tigers and other wildlife. We were also able to spend a day touring New & Old Delhi and the Taj Mahal in Agra. The itinerary was executed flawlessly with guides and drivers meeting us on time each and every day and totally affordable too. We (6 of us) could not be happier with the service! Everything from the planning and payments to the actual tour were easy and smooth. We felt very safe and it made for a stress free vacation having a tour company meet us every step of the way and that is exactly what GeTS Holiday did. I would not hesitate recommending them to friends and family.
