Thanks for the wonderful service provided to us. Amit, your brother has been a great host to us, we admire his patience and such great hospitality he provided. Our trip to India was magnificent except for the fact that we were conned by this one private tour guide in Fatehpur Sikri - we do hope Amit will tell him off the next time he sees the guy, Amit recognised his face. Our trip to India couldn't have been better, thanks to Amit's wonderful hospitality in entertaining us. I will definitely recommended your business to my friends and do wish you all the best.

India Private Driver is a great way to see and to get to know India. We found the business through internet, and are very pleased with them. They met our expectations, and they fulfilled all our needs. Bunty is professional, and gives a good price for what they offer (inc tax, fuels etc). Our driver, Avtar, was a responsable driver and we never felt unsafe. He showed us nice hotels and resturants, but was also open for our suggestions. We got to see what we wanted, and were free to skip the tourist places we did not want to visit. Over all we are pleased with Bunty and his crew, and can highly recommend India Private Driver!

We - two girls - also found Bunty by chance on the internet and have chosen to book our 10-days Rajasthan tour through him. And glad we did so! Our driver Manu did not only show us the most popular tourist places but also places "off the beaten track" which would have been hard to reach by public transport - especially if you're only around for ten days. From the first moment on we felt safe with our driver, and as we have never been to India before we were quite shocked about the busy streets - as probably most tourists are. But thanks to Manu we also felt safe on the streets and survived. He is an incredibly good and experienced driver and always found his way through cows and camels. Thank you again for your professional service, all your prompt answers, the good intinerary for that short time we had for our trip and the very easy way of handling everything beforehand. India is a lovely beautiful country with amazing people and charm. Thank you for showing us all that nice places and for many many unforgettable memories!

My husband, two of his daughters, and I spent sixteen days in India in 2010. Our driver, Bobby, was booked through Bunty, and we couldn't be more pleased with him. At all times, Bobby was pleasant, courteous, and professional, and navigated us with ease through seemingly impassable streets teeming with a mixture of automobiles, rickshaws, bicycles, motorcycles, cattle, goats, camels, elephants, and pedestrians. From the beginning, we all felt very comfortable with Bobby, and with his ability to guide us to wherever we wished to go. Having a private driver in India is absolutely the best way to experience the culture, the people, the sites, and the natural beauty the country has to offer. This also allowed us to create our own itinerary, and to have the flexibility to make changes at whatever point we might choose. Bobby was an invaluable resource in his ability to explain his country's customs, religions, history and politics, etc., and his knowledge of the region made navigation to our desired destinations a breeze. We would not hesitate to recommend Bunty's services, and our driver, Bobby, to anyone who might be planning a holiday to India.

In a nutshell, we had a wonderful visit to Rajasthan. Avtar made the adventure truly remarkable. He was a pleasure to be with. Knowing his way around helped quite a bit plus he knew great local restaurants in most of the towns we visited. He is an excellent driver and never once were we uncomfortable riding with him. It was wonderful having a cooler iced down every day and stocked with sodas, water, etc. Not having to worry about luggage was a major relief. Avtar would instruct the hotel staff then make sure the bags were back in the car before we took off for our next destination. No muss no fuss. In all we would recommend Bunty and his services to anyone who cares to contact us. We can't wait to get back to India.

Dear Bunty, I wanted to say thank you for an amazing trip. After horrible experiences using a driver in Southern India, my friend and I arrived in New Delhi unsure of what to expect. From the moment Amit met us at the airport, we knew we were in the best of hands. Amit is an incredibly skilled, punctual driver who is completely fluent in English. Further, he is a genuinely nice person with an amazing sense of humor. He made sure our trip (Agra–Fatehpur Sikri) was a wonderful experience. He even found us a knowledgeable guide to show us both of the sites. When our trip took less time than expected, he showed us around New Delhi and found us a bar where we could get a drink before whisking us off to the airport to catch our flight. Add to this the reasonable fixed rates for the car service and it adds up to a first-class trip. Thank you so much for making our final days in India so memorable. When we return to India, we will only use indiaprivatedriver.com.

We used Bunty’s service and found Bunty helpful, efficient and totally honest from start to finish. Manu was our driver around Rajasthan for two weeks in 2010. An excellent, safe driver. Manu was always punctual, pleasant, polite and well-presented. He offered advice and assistance with hotels and visits but was not pushy and was happy to adapt to our wishes. A good reliable companion on our fantastic trip around Rajasthan. Unintrusive and really quite funny at times! We would thoroughly recommend him.

We found Bunty's Services of India Private Driver very helpful, efficient, honest right from start to finish. From the very beginning Bunty was very honest regarding what is included in the program and was able to provide helpful alternatives along the way. Our driver was Bobby who was extraordinarily helpful from beginning to the end. I was very nervous booking the private driver from the start but as soon as I got off the train there was Bobby with our sign and we where whisked off to begin a whirlwind trip for two weeks. Bobby was very reliable and extremely punctual (unfortunately I was not!!) and was able to provide us with handy hints along the way and able to arrange absolutely anything we wanted to do. I would definately recommend Bunty and his services and I believe having a private driver is definitely the way to go - it enables flexibility in your itinerary and you are able to create your own holiday and move at your own pace. I am a travel agent in Australia and I also believe the pricing is very good value for money - and the service is even better.

This was our first trip to India, 2010, and we wanted to arrange a tour that didn't involve being stuck with a package tour. After researching the internet we found Bunty's website and booked. True to his word, Bunty had arranged for our driver Deepak to meet us from the airport and for the agreed fixed price, Deepak was our driving companion for the next week. Hugely entertaining, friendly, funny and knowledgeable, Deepak took us safely (despite the best efforts of the rest of the road population) from Delhi to Amritsar, Simla and back. Despite some very early starts that we needed in order to get from A to B and notably to catch the train from Kalkar to Simla (a must...!), he was always punctual, good humoured, trustworthy and raring to go. We had a fabulous time and because we could relax knowing that Deepak would do everything possible to make the best of our short visit, I would recommend him to anyone. Bunty also called a couple of times to confirm everything was going well. If you are searching the internet for this type of service, then look no further.... Bunty is your man.

We hired Bunty's services for a period of 7 days to travel from Delhi-Agra-Jaipur-Pushkar. Our driver Anil was waiting for us at the airport upon arrival, despite our flight having been delayed for an hour. A safe driver is absolutely necessary on the chaotic streets of India. In Anil's car we felt absolutely safe and had a very smooth ride in his car. Besides his impeccable driving skills, Anil went above and beyond what was necessary from answering any questions we had, to driving from 9am-3am at one point, and proved to be a great companion on the trip. Utilizing a service such as Bunty's makes things simple in that the hotel, driver, parking, tolls, and guides were all included. While the service was efficient and very smooth, the only caveat I would put is to make sure to do sufficient research beforehand so as to ensure no suprises - whether this is from price, attractions, or closing hours of the places you'd like to visit. For a hassle free trip, Bunty will be a safe bet.

We contacted Bunty after reading the recommendations on the website, and were very pleased we did. We had very prompt and helpful replies to all of our queries and were very happy with the service provided before leaving for India to the trip itself. We felt the price was good, the service was friendly and covered everything we needed which assured us in our booking. Our driver was Sudarshan. He was a great driver and a lovely person to spend our trip with. He was always on time and was polite and helpful. His English was good and he was able to give us interesting information on the journey. On occasions he suggested additional places to visit, which were lovely, but if we chose not to take up his suggestion he was quite happy with that and was never pushy. We felt very confident in his driving and felt we were in very safe hands. Thank you for a wonderful trip - we will certainly be in contact again for our next trip to India and would happily recommend this company to anyone visiting India.

We decided to book our two week trip to Delhi, Rajasthan and Agra independently and not through a travel agent. Having booked our hotels, we found Bunty on the Internet, and, on the back of the recommendations on his website, booked a driver with his company for the full trip. Bunty was extremely responsive and helpful during the booking process. Our driver, Avtar, was excellent. We felt like we were in very safe hands on the road, and his English was excellent. He was waiting for us when we landed at 3am in New Delhi, although Bunty had previously provided his contact details in case there were any problems. Avtar was very good with suggestions of things to see, very flexible and always on time (even though we often weren't!). We would definitely recommend booking through Bunty for anyone travelling to India.
