        Visit to Ranthambhore
        It was our second time with Abby and Scout Tours and they were real good with helping us book safaris in Ranthambhore. Tigers were as always hats to come by but still saw some good wildlife.

        Seven days private golden triangle + Varanasi tour
        We found Abby and Scout after reading the rave reviews on tripadvisor, their proposed itinerary are the most detail of all the quotes we received, they also offered the option to have a guide accompanying us on train ride and all transit, their price is not the lowest but we definitely felt they are more detail oriented and decided to book with them. Our tour guide MJ was with us seven days and around 12 hours a day, he is very courteous, very detailed oriented and most importantly he enjoys his job and welcome us like friends visiting his country. I think private custom tour in India is a great value and great choice, and we are very happy with the tour provided by this tour company, no complaints.!

        Great experience
        We had a fantastic trip. Sabir was attentive and worked hard to make sure we had a great experience. We appreciated the insights he shared, his flexibility, and his dedication to making the trip as enjoyable as possible. He also knew exactly where to find the best chai wallahs, which was a real bonus. Our driver was excellent - super focused. We did some long drives with some early starts and he made us feel totally safe at all times - and if you have been to India then you know driving here requires skill.

        Two Days In Jaipur
        My Sister tried to post this previously but cannot see so posting again 😊 We have just spent an amazing two days with Gaurav and Shyam Singh travelling from Agra to Jaipur and touring the wonderful city of Jaipur and surrounding area. From the moment we were collected from our hotel they have provided entertainment and information about not only the fantastic sights and culture of these beautiful places and city of Jaipur but have provided insights into Jaipur itself and the way people actually live. In addition to the expected sights such as the Amer Fort, The Winter Palace and the Lake Palace, the more unexpected delights included Galvani (The Monkey Temple) with added colours of ‘Holi’, The Observatory in Jaipur and The Meera Bai Temple. We were particularly keen to explore shopping opportunities for local crafts. Gaurav duly obliged but at no time did we feel pressured to buy. They coped admirably with three Indian novices and the went above and beyond coping with the inevitable traffic whilst keeping us amused. I can only highly recommend these two individuals as they are a credit to their company and city.

        Incredible India - thank you!
        Our 8 day holiday was perfect and amazing thanks to Mr. Sabir who is a fantastic and extremely knowledgeable guide. By the end of the trip we considered him and our driver Mr. Om Singh friends. They made our trip remarkable. Everything went very smooth and it was the perfect balance between educational and fun! We visited the key attractions in Agra, Jaipur and Ranthambore and they both went above and beyond to show us the real India and it's customs. The experience was superb and we could not recommend Abby and Scout Tours more (thanks also to Ali for the exceptional coordination). In particular Mr Sabir and Mr Om Singh - great professionals, fun and above all, great people. We will certainly come back.

        Golden triangle tour and Ranthambore National Park
        Fantastic tour organised by Ali. Our private guide (Mr. Sabir) and driver (Mr. Om Singh) picked us up from the airport in Delhi and took us to Agra. Fantastic night drive, very accommodating and welcoming. Our guide Mr. Sabir is extremely knowledgable and speaks fantastic English. We spent the next 7 days with them discovering India (Agra, Ranthambore National Park, Jaipur and surroundings) and we cannot recommend them strongly enough. Our trip was superb thanks to them. Would highly recommend Abby & Scout tours and in particular Mr. Sabir (who is the fount of all knowledge!) and Mr. Om Singh (best driver!) We will come back, certainly.

        Abby & Scout made our trip amazing--Will definitely book with them for other tours!
        We booked with Abby & Scout for part of honeymoon and did the Golden Triangle Tour with Udaipur added on. This was as part of the first leg of our honeymoon. From the beginning, they worked with us to customize our itinerary, ensuring flexibility and making our dream come true. The tour, hotels, and service were exceptional—so much so that we’re already considering planning another trip to India with them! MJ, our guide, provided tons of historical and current context for all of the sites that we visited. He was very familiar with all of the cities and locations that we visited which made the He assisted us in taking some of our most memorable photos. He was remarkably accommodating to last-minute requests (like shopping), all while keeping our itinerary on track. Kailash, our driver, was equally fantastic. He provided great navigation, flexibility for travel during non-scheduled tours, and snacks during the longer drives. In addition, he also pointed out additional landmarks of interest with some background as well. We'd definitely want to travel with MJ and Kailash again and recommend that you do too! Abby & Scout also assisted us with coordinating travel and lodging to our next location as well, which was invaluable. Thank you for making our honeymoon the trip of a lifetime!

        Couldn’t recommend more!
        Our entire experience was flawless and amazing! Sabir was a fantastic guide! Everything was smooth, stress free, educational and fun! He took care in what we wanted to see, even the things we found last minute. Our driver Om was an amazing person as well, we were so sad to leave him on our second leg of the trip. I couldn’t recommend a guide and company more! Make sure you ask for Sabir and Om:)

        North India Family vacation
        We had a great time and saw so much more than we would have without a guide and driver. We provided some information as to what we wanted to do and what cities we wanted to see and Ali designed the itinerary around that. Our driver was great and our guide was very informative, reliable and friendly. We learned a lot and had a memorable family vacation.

      We were a group of 4 on our first ever visit to India and decided on Abby & Scout Tours after extensive online research (huge shoutout with thanks to fellow reviewers!).

      The challenge: Hit all highlights of the Golden Triangle in 7 days plus shopping and foodie tryouts on the side. Transporting from one city to another took around 20 hours even though we took the flight from Jodhpur to Delhi. During the trip we developed a taste for Ayurvedic treatments and wanted to squeeze that into the schedule. Our visit coincided with Mr. Trump's visit to the great Taj Mahal hence itinerary was changed to accommodate the closure of the city blocks.

      The highlights: Not the sights, shopping or food (though important), but our guide Mr. Sabir Sheikh. He gave new definition to the term "super guide" as he went the extra mile to accommodate every little request we made, from the iconic pictures and must-try street food to the unique experiences, such as tuk tuk around the markets, riding in an open jeep to the Tiger Fort (sunscreen and scarf recommended), dropping in unannounced to a wedding (inspired by the 3 Idiots movie) and shopping at every opportunity we get (showcasing the bargaining powers of Mr. Sabir). Note VAT charges on clothing items and food vary but can add up to 20% of the total costs.

      Also special thanks to our driver, Mr. Jaypal-ji, a man of few words and very steady hands on the wheel, and our guide Mr. Suresh in Jodhpur, who took obvious pride in his city and the beautiful Mehrangarh Fort.

      The tour is highly recommended only if you're looking for sterling service and outstanding experiences in the Golden Triangle.

      To answer a question I frequently get: Is a tour guide necessary? For this particular trip, my short answer is yes because a) we did not have the luxury of time, b) we did not have the local knowledge nor speak the local language. Having an experienced tour guide and strong follow-up from Abby & Scout (which checked on our progress with Mr. Sabir constantly) afforded us peace of mind.

      Many thanks, Bestitall for this glowing review of your 08 Day India golden triangle private tour with Jodhpur. We are absolutely delighted to hear your maiden trip to India was a wonderful experience and that Shabir, Jaypal and Suresh went extra miles to really made the tour for you. Our team loves working with the guests to tailor the entire tour around their preferences and keep perfecting until they are happy. We were aware of Mr. Trump's visit and kept an eye on it to ensure you you do not miss out on the great Taj Mahal tour. Sabir will be thrilled with your high words of appreciation and that you found a super guide in him. He is a great addition to the team and brings a high level of passion, experience and customer focus to his job. His aim at the start of the tour is to exceed guests' expectations and he does it so well as not only the prime sites but taking guests' to back block, walk around the local markets to get a touch of local life. Nahargarh fort is a perfect spot to end the day with a stunning sunset and you are right as it is warm out there so sunscreen and scarf are quite helpful. The care Jaypal extends to his guest is paramount and he has mastered the art of safe driving. Suresh's love for Jodhpur would be well seen in his incredible passion. He has been guiding for many years and is still very excited about touring through this beautiful blue city. Thank you for valuable insight on how having a tour guide touring around India golden triangle can help you get the best out of your trip. Indeed, an experienced tour guide can keep things organized and make your travel easier. A good collaboration between the office team and tour guide can elevate a good tour to a great one. Knowing how happy you were with your choice to choose us and the value you felt the tour represented and highly recommending our golden triangle private tour packages is truly gratifying as it endorse the quality and dedicated service we offer. It was a pleasure to have you travel with us. Thanks again for your booking and your support is greatly appreciated

      It was my first time in Jaipur and this tour was an excellent introduction to this amazing city, full of life, colour and history. Gaurav, with his local knowledge of his city and its history, and excellent English, was the perfect guide, and great company too! He quickly picked up on our particular interests - the havelis and markets - and showed us places we could never have found on our own, without getting completely lost! Highly recommended!
