HE WAS ALSO ALWAYS PUNCTUAL, COURTEOUS AND CARING
We really enjoyed our time in India and the services your company provided were exactly what we were after. Having our own car and driver provided us with the flexibility and local knowledge that we greatly appreciated. We also greatly appreciated your support and flexibility in planning our trip and then Bobby’s local knowledge and common sense in arranging our daily touring. We trusted Bobby totally with his driving in the chaos of the Indian traffic, his recommendations of sites to see, arranging practical schedules and recommending places to shop and eat. We also greatly appreciated his flexibility in driving us to places we expressed an interest in and to drop us off and pick us up from restaurants. We appreciated his friendship, his giving us a much better understanding of the Indian way of life and for sharing his life with us. He was also always punctual, courteous and caring. We would gladly recommend Bobby as a driver and a travelling companion to anyone interested in travelling in India. Cheers and thanks again,
OVERALL I CANNOT RATE THIS COMPANY HIGH ENOUGH
I booked a private car and driver through Bunty after finding his website. I had also got other quotes from different sources, but Bunty’s quote was the most competitive and backed up by excellent reviews. I actually emailed some of his previous customers who gave me excellent feedback. Bunty also allowed me to be totally flexible in my itinerary – which was exactly what I wanted. The communication head of the trip was excellent – lots of emails and reassurance – and I was sent my drivers details through ahead of my trip. The driver we had – Anup – was just brilliant. I cant recommend him enough. He just made our life so easy. There was never any pressure to go into certain “shops” or to do different experiences – he just was happy to offer suggestions and recommendations when we asked and took us to some amazing places. He drove very considerately and seemed to understand we weren’t used to the hectic roads! His English was impeccable and he was so knowledgeable about the local area. Overall I cannot rate this company high enough. I was worried about organising the trip myself, but so glad I went through Bunty as I was totally put at ease during my stay. Namaste
WE HAD A LOT OF LAUGHS AND TOOK HOME WITH US EVEN MORE WONDERFUL MEMORIES
I contacted Bunty several weeks before our trip and immediately I knew we were in good hands. Our 11 day trip through the Golden Triangle was beyond words. We were privileged to have Avtar as our driver. Not only was he extremely knowledgable but his minivan was super comfortable for the long excursions that we took and well worth the inexpensive upgrade from a standard car. We had a lot of laughs and took home with us even more wonderful memories. Our ‘taste’ of India was definitely not enough and we will be returning some day and definitely using Bunty’s and Avtar's service again. They are truly exceptional at what they do and know how to make their customers feel as if they are in a familiar place. We always felt safe and taken care of. We were also introduced to some of the least expensive and best food that we have ever had. I rarely write recommendations but these two truly deserve it!!! Thank you guys!!!
I WILL RECOMMEND YOUR SERVICES ALL PEOPLE I KNOW
Namaste! Hi Bunty I'm sorry I'm be late. I´m always so busy. Well our travel from Delhi to Leh was fantastic the car every day was ready and clean and on time always.

Bunty of course I will recommend your services all people I know and want to go to India, We are very happy with your service. You've good luck with Naresh he's a good worker.
AMIT ALLOWED OUR EXPERIENCE TO FLOW
In July 2014 we had the most fantastic time in India. After attending a wonderful wedding in Chennai with friends we headed to Delhi to experience the Golden Triangle. After a lot of research we decided on the services of India Private Driver to look after us. The negotiations with Bunty were made extremely easy due to his attention to detail and timely responses to any questions. Upon our arrival in Delhi we were greeted as promised by our driver Amit and our great adventure began. Despite the oppressing heat of plus 40c every day our tour was made extremely comfortable and always enjoyable. Amit speaks excellent English, has wonderful communication skills and is an excellent driver. We had pretty much made our own itinerary which was followed faithfully and at given times Amit would offer suggestions of how to make it better and these generally turned out for the better. There is a certain way of things in India and to get the best experience you need to experience it all. To his great credit Amit allowed our experience to flow and the only interjections were in matters of safety for which we were thankful. Our journey was truly rewarding and our time with Amit was always informative and sprinkled with laughter, stories and funny moments. On one occasion in an impromptu street cricket game with the locals I was Ricky Ponting, Amit was Glenn McGrath and 20 plus kids were in the filed. The crowd cheered and roared every ball, wicket and run "truly memorable". When we return we will look forward to renewing our friendship with Amit and the team at India private Driver and hopefully improving my batting average.
OUR TRIP WITH INDIA PRIVATE DRIVER WAS EXCELLENT FROM START TO FINISH
Our trip with India Private Driver was excellent from start to finish. Bunty was helpful and very professional with dealing with our emails and the trip was arranged without any problems. Our driver, Anil, was fantastic! He was always on time, really looked after us and showed us the delights that India has to offer. When we come back to India we will definitely be using India Private Driver again.

I COULD NOT HAVE WISHED FOR A BETTER PERSON AS A DRIVER
Bobby is an excellent, safe and reliable driver. Additionally, he is a very good person, high integrity, good sense of humour and very respectful at all times. I could not have wished for a better person as a driver over the challenging roads of Rajhastan. More importantly, as a woman travelling alone, Bobby was very helpful, with the right balance of being personable and friendly without in any way being intrusive. I felt that I could rely on him if had any problems - luckily it was a very smooth trip. I would be happy to recommend your services and Bobby, as a driver, to other travellers.
A FUN-FILLED, INFORMATIVE AND UNFORGETTABLE HOLIDAY
We are two young-at-heart oldies (65 and 70) who recently visited India for a 20 day holiday. On the recommendation of our daughter who used Bunty's Private Driver company several years ago, we also arranged our holiday travel plans through his company. His responses to our queries were always prompt and helpful, even suggesting we use a larger vehicle, for example, as this gave us more comfort and leg room on the longer trips. This was good advice which we appreciated. We chose his Rajasthan tour, adding extra places to visit and extending it by several days to allow for rest breaks between long drives. India is a vast country so some days involved long periods of travel. Bunty also suggested we might like Heritage/Historical style accommodation, which was a wonderful idea. Imagine waking up each morning on an exotic film set, with "Royal Marigold Hotel" style havellies and palaces. A great way to experience the India of old. We also added a visit to a desert camp out of Jaiselmer for an overnight stay, staying in a large and luxurious Swiss tent. That was an amazing experience with traditional Rajasthani food and entertainment, following a camel ride to the sand dunes at sunset. A sunset camel ride in Pushkar was another interesting addition to the itinerary. Our driver was Amit, a lovely young man with beautiful manners, a sense of humour and excellent English. He took great care of us, ensuring everything went smoothly and was hassle-free. He allowed us to travel and sight-see at our own pace, and also arranged local guides at various sites where we thought it would be an advantage. Amit also suggested various shopping (yes! we had to shop!) options and was patient and helpful throughout. He also recommended good dining options which we enjoyed as the food is so delicious everywhere in Rajasthan. This Indian holiday was an amazing and fascinating experience, one we would recommend for young and not-so-young, like us. The input and organisation from Bunty and his team certainly contributed to our overall enjoyment, giving us a fun-filled, informative and unforgettable holiday. We were confident throughout that we were in the care of an experienced, capable and professional team and we certainly recommend them for your Indian adventure. And yes! it is possible to spend 20 days in India, eating such delicious food, and not suffer Delhi belly! Hand wipes and gels are the answer.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT HIM
My companion and I both had a wonderful tour of Rajasthan, Agra, and Delhi with Naresh. He was knowledgeable of all the major attractions and we relied on him heavily for advice on which places to visit and when. He was also super helpful when one of our hotels overbooked. He talked with the manager and we were able to get a replacement room in a different hotel. I don't know what we would have done without him! We're very happy with his services and would recommend him for anyone who needs a private driver in north India.
HE WAS SOLICITOUS ABOUT OUR SAFELY AND ON MANY OCCASIONS GAVE GOOD ADVICE
Prior to our short tour of Rajasthan my friend and I had been on a trekking trip where communications were difficult, but Bunty managed to stay in touch and give us all the relevant information. Our driver Manohar was ready and waiting for us when we arrived at Udaipur airport. As first-time visitors to India we were a bit apprehensive about what lay ahead, but we were in good hands. The car was clean and trouble free, Manohar was drove carefully in the Indian traffic, and was punctual for every agreed meeting time and place. In some instances he timed arrivals beautifully, such at Fatehpur Sikri which we reached in the late afternoon when the light was beautiful, and the Taj Mahal in the early morning. He was solicitous about our safely and on many occasions gave good advice on what and who to avoid. Our time in Delhi was very short, but his tours managed to cover a great deal of old and new Delhi while still getting us to the airport on time.
INDIA WAS AN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE
Wow, India was an absolutely incredible experience that was made ever more so by the attention that you and my driver Manu provided. From my first email looking for ideas, to my exit from India, I found your service and attention to detail second to none. Your assistance in planning an itinerary was invaluable and getting prompt, informative answers to my many questions made the planning stage so much simpler. Only one of the hotels that you selected as accommodation fell short of my expectations but overall they were very clean, staff courteous and meals an opportunity to discover new delights. I could not have done better. And to my driver Manu, I have a highest of praise. He was always punctual, had great sight-seeing suggestions and where appropriate, made sure I knew how to keep myself safe and secure. On the occasion that my mobile phone was lost in Pushkar, without him I would never have been able to purchase a replacement and for his assistance here I am eternally grateful. I thoroughly enjoyed his company, his assistance and honesty. He never let me down. Again, thank you for your recent assistance and service. I hope that future visitors to your exciting country have the opportunity to ride with one of your drivers and I have no hesitation in recommending that they do! I hope that 2015 brings with it health and happiness. Please feel free to contact me if there is ever anything I can help with.
FROM START TO FINISH, I COULDN'T RECOMMEND INDIA PRIVATE DRIVER ENOUGH
We arranged a custom 5 day tour through India Private Driver and couldn't be happier. Bunty was extremely detailed and professional to work with from the beginning. Manu was our driver, and he was fantastic! My friend and I joked the entire trip that Manu was psychic because he would always see us first when we'd return from site-seeing to the car-park, even when he had no idea on our timing. In addition to being extremely reliable, Manu was also a very safe driver and also acted as our guide through Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra. He took us to many sites we never would have discovered on our own. From start to finish, I couldn't recommend India Private Driver enough!
