hena kauser

Hena is very knowledgeable about culture, history and Indian people. She is a great communicator and was perfect for our family! She helped us with great walking tours and also arranged cars for transport. She takes extra care to make sure we were happy and had our questions answered. Be sure and ask for a trip to BBQ Nation for a unique food experience!Highly recommended

Yonden Chogyal Lama

First, we traveled to Darjeeling from Kolkata on an overnight train—which was a bit of an adventure—but thanks to our incredible guide “Lama” he made our life much easier! First, he is a very good communicator and met us at the train station in Siliguri exactly as planned. He arranged a car with an excellent driver on the narrow roads. Lama was attentive and informative—with great personal experience. Our time with him went quickly...and we were sorry to say goodbye after 3 wonderful days. Highly recommend...book him as your guide and it will become a lifetime memory!

When my adult son and I went to Jodphur, we were hoping to get a good guide for the day. We had limited time, but Man Singh was right on time....met us at our hotel...and we did some wonderful touring. He grew up in this area, so he had good knowledge of the city and the fort. It turned out to be a great day! He is a terrific historian and we enjoyed hsi company very much!

Bratiti was puctual and had the driver meet us at our modest hotel...he was even a little early! He took us right to Bratiti and she gave us a wonderful overview of Kolkata. She is a professional guide and had lots of facts about the city and its culture. A very good expereince.

SHAHE KALEEM

On the day that Kaleem was with us, he did an excellent job. He was a good at communicating information and laid out 4 days of detailed sightseeing and touring with him via the TourHQ chat. This was exactly what we wanted. He arranged a car and driver and we verified with him several times about meeting at the hotel and other important details. In person, Kaleem is  professional and knowledgeable with great skills as a guide. He knows the city well.

The problem was that Kaleem told us in-person on Day1  that he would not be with us on Day 2 (in Agra) and did not have a tour guide arranged for us on  Day 3 + Day 4!! My family was not happy about this; we planned this activity weeks in-advance and had we known this, we could have made other guide arrangements.  Fortunately, Kaleem had arranged an excellent guide (Sumit) for us  when we went to Agra on Day 2; that was fine. But we were very  concerned about only having a driver (no guide) on Day 3 and Day 4 in this large city---this was not what we had agreed on during our previous communication thru TourHQ. That presented a real problem. Kaleem should have told us this in-advance. Instead, he thought that "just a driver" for Day 3 and Day 4 would be ok. This was not good because we gave a deposit based on having Kaleem as a guide for 4 days, plus a driver and a car for 4 days! After much discussion, Kaleem reluctantly agreed to provide a guide for Day 3. We had to scramble to find an activity on Day 4---which we were not originally prepared to do. But we managed.

Bottom line: Kaleem could easily have been 5-stars had he been up-front about not actually being our guide the entire time––and thinking we could get by for 2-days with just a driver!  For that reason, we decided to rate him at 3 stars.
