 Verified Unforgettable India trip: Tailor-made adventures with Indienreiseleiter.de
Our trip with Indiatripguide.com was undoubtedly an unforgettable adventure that far exceeded our expectations. From the beginning, it was clear that this trip would not be just a regular tour, but a tailor-made experience tailored to our specific wishes. The communication beforehand via Whatsapp was extremely efficient and allowed us to plan every single aspect of our trip in advance. This was especially important as we had specific travel times and start and end points that had to be taken into account. The advantage of a self-guided trip proved invaluable as we were independent of a group and therefore had the flexibility to express and implement our own wishes. The van ride was comfortable and enjoyable and we really appreciated that water and coke were always on board and included in the tour price. The real highlight of our trip, however, was the experience with our tour guide, Piyush. His dedication and passion for his work was second to none. He always went above and beyond the norm to ensure we had the best possible experience. Some examples of his outstanding work are unforgettable: Visiting the Taj Mahal at 9am when there were no queues allowed us to have an uninterrupted view of this fascinating structure. Then in the evening we experienced the magical colors of the Taj Mahal from a distance, which gave us a completely new perspective on this wonder of the world. At the bird park we were assigned a knowledgeable guide, a local who not only knew the area but also had an impressive Zeis zoom telescope. His explanations in German made the tour particularly informative and entertaining. The organization of our safari in Ranthambore was also particularly impressive. Instead of placing us in a crowded bus with many other tourists, Piyush arranged a jeep just for us, which allowed us to observe the wildlife in peace and experience unforgettable moments. Overall we cannot praise Indienreiseleiter.de enough. Their professionalism, attention to detail and ability to turn our dreams into reality made this trip an unforgettable experience. We will definitely use your services again and recommend you to anyone looking for an unforgettable travel experience in India. Thank you IndiaTravelGuide.com and most of all thank you Piyush for unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.

 Verified Individual trip professionally organized
Thank you Piyush for organizing our little trip from Lucknow to Agra. Everything went as planned and was organized professionally. Our vehicle was always ready for us on time and our driver Santosh took us through the wild Indian traffic in a relaxed manner. Special requests such as sightseeing were also accommodated at short notice because you, Piyush, were constantly in contact with us and asked how we were. The processing via a European bank was also very convenient as it saved high transfer costs. It was our first time traveling with you and we will be happy to get in touch with you again next time. We wish you continued success with your company

 Verified Tour of Rajasthan
I found Mr. Piyush Matur during my research on the Internet. Mr. Piyush started the travel preparations perfectly. So our initial scepticism quickly disappeared and he made us curious about Rajasthan months in advance. When the trip started, our expectations were far exceeded. The tour through Rajasthan was very well organized. We stayed in wonderful palace hotels, visited wonderful buildings and learned a lot about the country and its people. We also had a great guide, Tinku. He spoke very good German and he gave us a great insight into his country. He also immediately responded to our personal wishes and made everything possible, e.g. a spontaneous visit to a brick factory. Mr. Piyush Matur was also in constant contact with us during the trip. We also had a great, comfortable and always sparkling clean car and the driver Denis drove very well and carefully. In short, our Rajasthan trip was something very special. We experienced Rajasthan very intensively. We are overwhelmed and can recommend Piyus Matur Indienreiseleiter.de at any time

 Verified First time in South India and I fell in love with India!
After much deliberation, I booked the 18-day trip with India Travel Guide. The time in September, small group and the suggested itinerary appealed to me. The decision to book there exceeded my expectations. The trip was led and organized by Mr. Piyush Mathur, an extremely knowledgeable, German-speaking tour guide who is not only well-versed in history, culture and politics but was also an excellent host and showed us India. Our itinerary took us through the states of Tamil Nandu, Kerala and Karnataka. We were lucky enough to travel in an air-conditioned minibus with cool drinks within easy reach. Our driver was extremely reliable and always brought us safely to our destinations. The highlights of the trip were numerous, including visiting tea plantations, spice complexes, exploring breathtaking palaces and magnificent temples, as well as exciting rickshaw rides. The overnight stay on a houseboat was also particularly impressive. The selection of hostels was also first class. We stayed in charming little hotels hidden in green landscapes. Overall, the tour of South India was an unforgettable adventure. Mr. Mathur and his driver made sure that we felt safe and well looked after. I can fully recommend this trip and am grateful for the wonderful memories that I took home with me. It was an experience that I warmly recommend to every travel lover.

 Verified South India Individual Tour
A few years ago I visited northern India and since then I have wanted to get to know southern India too. I looked at many travel suggestions and decided to book with IndienReiseleiter.de. I was lucky! During my 18-day trip through southern India: Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, I was able to see all the highlights and have an unforgettable time. We were a small group of just 4 with our tour guide Piyush Matur and tour driver. Our tour guide looked after us perfectly over the 18 days and gave us so much information about all the regions we visited. We experienced so many places, landscapes and encounters. Colorful India with its very interesting temples, lively markets and many other experiences. Our tour guide Piyush Matur planned our trip down to the smallest detail, organized it well and we were always able to check into nice hotels. He was always there for us and always answered all our questions. He also always told us lots of great stories, thank you Piyush! We always had very nice hotels during our trip and didn't want to leave them at all. I can always recommend booking with Indienreiseleiter.de. India is such a fascinating country and offers so much to see and experience. I can definitely recommend the agency IndienReiseleiter.de. Our small group was very satisfied with all the services.

 Verified Don’t just be a spectator, but immerse yourself in the colorful world of India
The tour of the Indian state of Gujarat led through a contrasting landscape and to impressive temples. We immersed ourselves in the colorful world of India, met the local people and learned a lot about culture and handicrafts. We were even able to observe the Asian lion in the national park. If you really want to get to know India, if you want to understand traditions and experience culture, you must plan your trip with India tour guide Piyush Mathur! He leads the group with great experience and empathy, inspires every participant and provides deep insights into this wonderful country. Fantastic!

 Verified individuelle Rundreise durch Nordindien
Wir haben eine individuelle Rundreise durch Nordindien mit dem Reiseleiter Piyush Mathur gemacht, 18 Tage,die wir niemals vergessen werden. Durch seine einfühlsame Art und sein umfangreiches Wissen waren wir auf ganzer Linie zufrieden. Die indische Kultur, viele interessante Bauwerke, tolle Landschaften, man kann gar nicht alles aufzählen, was erlebt wurde. Aber von vorn: Wir wurden am Flughafen in Delhi von unserem Fahrer abgeholt, mit einem schönen großen Auto, das immer sauber und gepflegt war mit exzellentem Service und klasse Fahrweise. Ein sehr netter Mann, der uns viele Wünsche von den Augen ablas. Auch lange Fahrten wurden so zu angenehmen und abwechslungsreichen Erlebnissen. Im Vorfeld waren die Hotels für uns ausgesucht und gebucht worden, so dass auch das Einchecken schnell und problemlos vonstatten ging. Aufgrund super Kenntnissen vieler Sehenswürdigkeiten bekamen wir vieles zu sehen, das in keinem Reiseführer steht. Wer kennt schon die besten Samosabuden und die besten Lassigeschäfte in jodhpur? Sehr schön war auch der Besuch einer Mädchenschule in Pushkar, hier durften wir bei der Essensausgabe helfen. Alles kann ich hier gar nicht erzählen,würde zu lang. Zum Schluss noch etwas über unseren Fahrer: er wusste, dass wir Kokosnüsse zum Austrinken lieben,und brachte uns früh morgens auf der letzten Fahrt zum Flughafen 2 schöne Kokosnüsse mit, ein toller Abschluss. Dieses Reiseunternehmen können wir wärmstens empfehlen!

 Verified Tolle Rundreise
Ende Februar, Anfang März haben meine Mutter und ich mit Indien Reiseleiter Tours & Travels eine tour durch West Indien gemacht. Der Organisator Piyush Mathur war für uns vorab sowie während der Reise immer sehr gut erreichbar. Die Reise war sehr gut organisiert, und unser Guide Ravinder sowie unser Fahrer Vikram waren eckt klasse. Wir haben uns stehts sicher gefühlt und haben das Land und Leute sehr genossen. Ein großer Dank nochmals für die tolle Organisation. Sollten wir in der Zukunft nochmal nach Indien fahren, werden wir uns auf jeden Fall melden.

 Verified Gehört zu meinen absoluten Reisehighlights
Reisen mit Piyush Mathur- ein Glückstreffer Für mich war die Gujaratreise die dritte Begegnung mit Indien. Nach einer beruflichen Auszeit im wundervollen Sikkim und einer Reise mit Piyush durch Südindien war ich voller Vorfreude auf Indien.Allerdings hatte ich nicht erwartet, dass die Erlebnisse der Vorjahre noch zu toppen waren. Indien ist für jeden Europäer zunächst eine Reizüberflutung. Eine ungeheure Vielfalt und Intensität vonGarben und Düften, Menschenmenge, Autos, Mopeds, Fahrräder, freilaufende Kühe auf Straße und Gassen wirken auf einen ein.Man spürt sehr schnell in einem ganz besonderen Land angekommen zu sein.Wie und mit wem man dieses faszinierende Land bereist, ist für mich ein entscheidender Faktor für das Gelingen einer solchen Reise, und Piyush Mathur ist da ein absoluter Hauptgewinn.Man hat schon vor Buchung der Reise Gelegenheit ihn kennenzulernen. Er hat uns einen Reisevorschlag gemacht, der noch durch persönliche Wünsche ergänzt werden konnte. Unser Programm war reichlich. Hindutempel, Maharadschapaläste, in denen wir zum Teil auch gewohnt haben, faszinierende Naturreservate, Safaris, Begegnungen mit Menschen in ihren unterschiedlichen Lebenssituationen etc.Piyush hat uns während der Fahrten im gut gepflegten Kleinbus mit sehr zuverlässigem Fahrer, eine Vielfalt von Informationen geboten und unermüdlich unsere Fragen beantwortet. Er war von früh bis spät für uns erreichbar. Die Hotels waren gepflegt und unsere Verpflegung war wirklich hervorragend. Doch hatte man auf dieser Reise nicht nur die Möglichkeit von außen zu schauen. Es gab viele ganz besondere Momente und Begegnungen, die Herz und Seele berührt haben und die nachwirken. Danke Indienreiseleiter Piyush Mathur!

 Verified Indien in allen Facetten kennen gelernt
Ich habe schon einige Länder bereist, aber Indien war dann doch noch einmal ganz anders, besonders wegen der Gegensätze: Wir haben die Großstadt Ahmedabad und kleine Dörfer durchstreift , aber auch den Urwald im Reservat. Wir durften in Palast-Hotels übernachten und am nächsten Tag mit dem Maharaja eine Familie besuchen, die in einfachsten Verhältnissen wohnt. Wir haben schöne Landschaften gesehen, aber auch Salzwüsten und einen schönen Strand am arabischen Meer. Wir haben viele schöne Tempel besucht, aber auch wilde Esel, Löwen und Leoparden in ihrem Lebensraum. Piyush hat eine tolle Rundreise zusammen gestellt, wir durften viel lernen über Land und Leute, uns unbekannten Religionen und was es mit diesen "heiligen" Kühen auf sich hat. Die Jain haben jedenfalls meinen größten Respekt. Piyush war immer für uns da, hatte für alle Probleme eine Lösung parat, auch für das "eigentlich" in Gujarat geltende Alkoholverbot. Mir wird die Reise immer in guter Erinnerung bleiben und ich kann sie nur jedem sehr empfehlen, auch wenn es manchmal anstrengend war.
