EXCELLENT SERVICE, HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS, AND GREAT RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Bunty replied to our e-mails promptly and before we left the UK for India he gave us the mobile number of our driver to contact on our arrival, and so it was that we met Amit (Bunty's brother) and we travelled for 14 days through Rajasthan in 2010 with him. Amit's driving was excellent, always on time, courteous and nothing was too much trouble. His English was very good and he had a good command of the language and had a good sense of humour and we did enjoy his company. He is honest, reliable and I would not have any hesitation in recommending him as a driver. He would make suggestions about different places we like to visit en route to our next stop and also recommend a restaurant we prefer to eat at rather than at the hotel for a change. If you ever travel to Jodhpur you must experience the Omelette Shop in the market (a recommendation by Amit) – and sit amidst the chaos enjoying an omelette between 2 slices of bread made on the spot, quite an experience. When we next travel to India we will certainly contact Bunty once again, and we wish him every success for the future.
3 GIRLS TRAVEL TO INDIA AND BECOME MAJOR FANS OF BUNTY AND INDIA PRIVATE DRIVER
Bunty came highly recommended to us by others that had travelled to India and used his services, and we were so happy that we went with Bunty around India! Bunty helped with planning our trip and recommending a suitable itinerary. We had a few special requests before our trip and during the trip, and he did his best to make them all happen. He told us exactly what we needed to know at every place we visited, which made the trip incredibly easy for us. He even seemed happy to spend many days shopping with 3 girls! Bunty helped to make us feel very safe in India. He stayed in touch with us when we went off for a few days without him and made sure we were ok. Our trip to India would not have been the same without Bunty. We definitely would recommend him to anyone that is traveling to India.
TRAVELING TO INDIA ALONE – NO PROBLEM WITH INDIA PRIVATE DRIVER!
When I first realised I would be traveling to India alone, after some friends pulled out at the last minute, I had serious thoughts about canceling my trip. I had been to India before and loved it, so after remaining in contact with Bunty and being assured that I would be safe, I decided to go ahead with my holiday. I am so glad I did. Not only did Bunty provide great service in helping to organise my itinerary, but he also provided a terrific, (and as I soon found out) humorous driver named Deepak who navigated me safely through the hectic and busy traffic, managed to take me to all my destinations and activities, kept me entertained with his unique personality and who I now consider a friend. Whenever I decide to return to India there will be only one company I will contact and that is India Private Driver (Bunty) and I will also request the driving skills of Deepak. I appreciate the way Deepak has kept in contact with me even after my trip was over. That shows professionalism! Thanks guys for a wonderful and safe Indian experience and all the best for 2010.
Happy New Year!
A COMFORTABLE WAY TO VISIT AMAZING INDIA
I booked a 13 day trip around Rajasthan with India Private Driver for myself, my wife and her parents. Right from the start Bunty was a real help, suggesting an itinerary that included all the major highlights, plus some lesser known but fascinating stops. Our driver Avtar was wonderful and gave us some real insight into life in India. He was punctual, a careful driver and great fun to be with. He was also kind enough to include many stops outside our original itinerary — a really nice touch. The hotels Bunty booked for us were all fantastic. It was great to stay in such a variety of places, everything from a restored Haveli to a real-life Palace! We'd thoroughly recommend Bunty, Avtar and India Private Driver to anyone looking for a comfortable way to visit this amazing country.
THE PERFECT RAJASTHAN TOUR WITH A FABULOUS DRIVER
Bunty was very professional and prompt in responding to all our emails full of questions, and was certainly instrumental in helping us arrange the perfect Rajasthan tour with a fabulous driver. We have to say that our driver Avtar is worth his weight in gold. Seriously! Our holiday was made so much better by having an experienced, friendly driver that speaks very good English. We always felt safe and in very good hands throughout our trip. Avtar was also our savior by going above and beyond to help us when we were stranded in Delhi as our train was cancelled at the last minute due to foggy conditions. We’d also like to add that the car was perfect, great size, in excellent condition, spotless and well looked after. We would not hesitate to recommend Bunty’s services and in particular Avtar. If you want a great driver who is safe, speaks good English and is a pleasure to travel with, go with Avtar. You will not be disappointed.
THE TAJ MAHAL WAS SOMETHING I HAD WANTED TO SEE SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD!
Bunty, first of all, thank you very much for your services. We are all very satisfied. We are very pleased with the 4-day tour of the Golden Triangle. Taj Mahal was of course breathtaking. I have wanted to visit this magnificent palace since I was 12 (when studying India at school) and now finally it became true! The whole tour gave us many facts about India - Avtar could answer all our questions about India and the different regions. We enjoyed the varied provinces and the rural areas. We also appreciated the safari very much, to be in nature with different birds and animals rather close. And so totally different from what we have in Sweden.
I'VE TAKEN AN OVERSEAS HOLIDAY EVERY YEAR FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS IN COUNTRIES ALL OVER ASIA AND AFRICA, BUT MY HOLIDAY IN INDIA WITH BUNTY WAS EASILY THE BEST VALUE OF THEM ALL
I heard about Bunty and India Private Driver via a friend, and at first I had little more than an email address to go on. But I fired off a query, and received a very quick, clear and useful response within a day. Just a couple more emails, and Bunty had a complete itinerary worked out that covered all the things I wanted to see, as well as some helpful suggestions about other local attractions that could be easily included. I thought I'd double-check Bunty's quote by seeing how cheaply I could book the same itinerary myself, but after comparing quoted hotel prices on the Internet for three or four places, and struggling with the complexity of Indian train timetables, I soon realised Bunty's prices were staggeringly better than reasonable. So the price was right, but would the service be any good? Well, from the moment we touched down in Delhi until we boarded our flight home in Mumbai. Our driver, Amit, was always on time, always attentive to our needs, always ready to adjust the schedule if some sight was really interesting and we wanted to spend more time in a palace, and always full of helpful advice on where to eat and how to handle Indian social niceties such as baksheesh. I've taken an overseas holiday every year for the past ten years in countries all over Asia and Africa, but my holiday in India with Bunty was easily the best value of them all. In fact, I regret not having left all of my travel arrangements to Bunty; I think he could have saved me considerably more money, time and angst.
THANKS TO EXCELLENT SERVICE, WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED OUR HOLIDAY IN INDIA
We contacted the driver services of India Private Driver and Bunty arranged everything to perfection. His brother Amit waited for our arrival at the airport and accompanied us on our travels. Amit proved to be one of the best drivers in the whole country! He's an excellent and safe driver, he guided us to our hotels, had an absolute sound knowledge of the road network, organised local guides, and provided interesting information. He's a charming, friendly and service-minded man. India is an absolutely beautiful country, but we are sure that thanks to this excellent service we truly and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in full. We will not hesitate to contact www.indiaprivatedriver.com again, if we have the opportunity to return to this wonderful country. We highly recommend their service!
OUR ADVICE: BOOK YOUR DRIVER WITH WWW.INDIAPRIVATEDRIVER.COM AND YOU WILL BE ASSURED OF A SAFE AND PLEASANT TRIP!
Planning a family trip to India with my husband and our 3 adult children (all in their 20s) was an exciting time for us. I really wanted and needed everything to go very smoothly! And thanks to Bunty and his advice, that's exactly what did happen. With the help and suggestions that were made by Bunty we were able to create and adjust our itinerary to include all the sights on our list. We traveled in 2009 and Bunty and I communicated via email for several months prior to that. He assigned one of his excellent trustworthy drivers to us and we had a terrific tour in India. Our driver, Prem, was waiting for us at the airport even though our flight was delayed by several hours! His car was always spotless, comfortable and in perfect condition. I cannot say enough wonderful and kind things about this professional and polite gentleman, Prem Singh. The most important... his driving skills were excellent! He always remained calm, which helped to create a very relaxed atmosphere for us and that is hard to do while every other car is following "India's road rules!!” We sadly said our goodbyes to Prem on the last day of our 8 day tour. We had shared stories and asked tons of questions about life and customs in India. He was wonderful! At another point in our India travels, our plans changed and we needed to hire a driver again. Since Prem was not available we had to hire an entirely different driving company. We got a car and a non-English speaking driver. The car seats were dirty, a seatbelt broken, the side mirrors had been ripped off and one tire was very bald. Not good!! Our advice: India is not a place to take chances with driving companies. Book your driver with www.indiaprivatedriver.com and you will be assured of a safe and pleasant trip!
4 WOMEN FROM AUSTRALIA AND ONE MASTERFUL DRIVER FROM INDIA
What an amazing 16 day driving trip around Rajasthan. Our fabulous driver Avtar had to contend with 4 women - two 'mature' ladies and two 23 year old girls. He managed to balance everyone's needs with consideration and respect. We all felt very at ease and safe in Avtar's hands. Avtar spoke English perfectly and had even mastered the nuances of the Australian humour. Avtar was very familiar with all the destinations and was able to offer 'local' knowledge wherever we went. I would not hesitate to recommend Bunty's team and in particular our driver, Avtar.
WE REALLY ENJOYED HEARING ALL HIS STORIES AND SHARING OURS
My boyfriend and I are both Travel Agents, and were referred to India Private Driver through one of my clients. We were very happy with their services from beginning to end. Bunty was very helpful and answered all my questions through email quickly and efficiently. We changed our schedule many times before leaving and he was always very accommodating. When we arrived in India, our driver Amit was there to greet us with a smile. He had many suggestions for us along the way, and we had so much fun! It was great to have such a friendly driver who knew the areas we were going to well. We really enjoyed hearing all his stories and sharing ours. Thank you India Private Driver!
INDIA PRIVATE DRIVER: THE ONLY WAY TO TRAVEL ALONE!
We spent 15 days travelling around Rajasthan in 2010 with our daughter of 13 years. Private driver was the only way to travel alone in India and we appreciated our driver Deepak. He was very professional and careful through the chaotic traffic. He was pleasant with a good sense of humor and he spoke English better than us, so it was sometimes funny! Deepak was a good guide and made us recommandations for visits, restaurants and even hotels. We enjoy his company and made a safe and pleasant trip all together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to French friends.
