The Great Indian Adventure

I just traveled in February to India with the help of the Great India Adventure, and I could not have been happier with my experience! I would certainly describe myself as a type-​A personality, and had never relinquished the reigns of travel organization to ANYONE before, but I knew that traveling to India solo would be an entirely different ballgame…
Pranav, Harpreet, Nandita and the entire team at GIA were so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process, truly available 24/​7, and basically willing to take on any crazy trip/​tour/​request that I threw at them (and there were many haha). That is NOT an easy task for a traveler like myself, and I am so grateful that they were there to make my time in India as incredible as it was.
I visited Agra (Taj Mahal), Amritsar (Golden Temple) and Mumbai for 8 days, so I really tried to cram as much as possible into my short trip. The team set up hotels, drivers, tour guides, shoppers, photographers, restaurant reservations, the list goes on and on :). They truly made navigating India so easy and care-​free, I didn’t have one worry throughout my travels.
I am definitely visiting India again, and when I do, GIA will be the first people I call!

This review is delayed, sorry team GITC!
My mom and I planned a mother/​daughter trip from March 12 — March 28^th. We went to Dehli, Udaipur, Jaipur, Agra, then down to Kerala to Allepay, Munar, Marari Beach & Cochin. I may be missing some spots as well. Then we went to Beijing for 3 days to see the main sites, plus the Great Wall at JinShaling.
Pranav & his team did a great job. We had a lot of questions and a very extensive itinerary and it all went like 98% smoothly. They stayed way below our budget and when we were in India, they were prompt with getting back to us if we had any questions/​concerns.
We LOVED our drivers and guides in India. We felt 100% comfortable with everyone and learned a lot. We flew a lot internally, all of our flights left on time and we had no problems flying whatsoever. This is something I was initially concerned about.
Also, we met people who were on like A&K or Micato tours. We initially looked into them, but they were SO expensive and we felt like we’d be a prisoner to 100% touristy tours. Well we were at a lot of the same hotels as those companies, for a fraction of the price and had our personal drivers and guides. No sharing with 10 other people on a tour!
My only complaints would be, we may have had TOO much in our itinerary. For my 70 year old mother, she was exhausted. Also, when we went to do our overnight Houseboat, our first boat was NOT has advertised. Apparently there was a mix up with a Souther India tour company they work with. However, our driver helped move us to a new company and we were able to enjoy a great boat.
They also did a good job with the Beijing part of our trip.
I would be happy to offer anymore tips if anyone else wants to message me.

I can’t review the Great Indian Travel Co. and Pranav Chandra highly enough. I took a 2 week trip to India with my family and they were able to set my trip up in an extremely efficient, safe, and organized manner. We traveled in parks (Rathambore, Bird parks), more cities through Rajasthan that I can count, and to a number of sites (Taj Mahal, Jain temple) and the execution was very impressive (in a country where things are not always smooth). When back in India we will again travel with Mr. Chandra and the Great Indian Travel Co.

I highly recommend the Great Indian Travel Co. after having visited India in 2007. Thanks to owner Pranav Chandra and his friends and family, I had an amazing time in India and was able to see more sites and experience more Indian culture than I could have imagined. I had such a great time in fact, that I extended my vacation by a week once I got there. Pranav has a great, outgoing personality and he was an excellent tour guide and host. He organized all of the arrangements for my travel to Delhi, Agra, Neemrana and Goa, making my trip completely seamless and stress-​free!
