Yes. It is strongly recommended to buy a comprehensive medical/travel insurance in advance from your country before traveling to India.

Reviews from travellers on this tour

Daisy

Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi

05-Mar-23

Our trip to India was great. Everything was super well organized, the guides and drivers were super punctual. The guides were very good at imparting their knowledge. We learned a lot about Indian history, religion, food and of course the forts, temples etc. We felt safe and secure at all times. Many thanks to the Alkof Holidays team, drivers, guides. I definitely recommend going on a tour with them and if I ever visit India again, I will use their services myself.

Magnificent place and friendly people

26-Jan-24

Visiting Taj Mahal is one of best activities in the itinerary of our trip to India. It is worth to visit despite of the long line (about 2 hours) waiting to enter the Mahal. We learnt history, culture, and religion of this mysterious and attractive country. We must thank Alkof Holiday who arranged everything for us - picking us from Delhi airport, driving to hotel, to various famous landmarks, arranging good tour guides. It's our first time to visit India. Alkof Holiday made our trip stress-free. We want to come back again.

Kerala - Gods Own Country

16-Dec-23

Trip to Kerala was an experience, as we visited the Southern part of India for the first time alkof team was in touch with us throughout the tour. Their local representative specially George was very helpful. Thank you so much.

India Wildlife Safari - Asiatic Lions with the Bengal Tigers

16-Mar-23

The trip was fabulous and well managed, we were lucky that we finished our India trip in February before this COVID19 crisis. These guys are amazing, and I can easily recommend the company to anyone want to visit India.

Buddhist Tour with Taj Mahal

Bandhavgarh Kanha Pench Tour

22-Oct-22

Our family had a customized tour that included all three national parks for tiger safaris as well as the traditional golden triangle tour. We had 2 different drivers during the tour that picked us up at the airport or drove us to the next location. The drivers were always early, extremely friendly and helpful, and the cars were immaculate. We stayed at six different hotels that were picked out for us. They were all very nice and I would stay at them again. The guides at each location were very knowledgeable and friendly. The company itself stayed in contact with me throughout the trip to make sure I did not need anything. I would highly recommend this company. This tour was much more flexible and convenient than participating in a group tour where everyone has to keep up with a group pace.

Courtney Fairweather

Central India Wildlife Tour

17-Apr-24

I had to cancel the tour for personal reasons. This review is in praise of the thoughtful and understanding treatment that I received from Sunil at Alkof. He spend a lot of time explaining everything to me before and booked. Then, when I had to cancel, he was sympathetic and refunded my deposit. I've travelled a great deal and there are many tour operators who are untrustworthy. Alkof has shown itself to be honest and reliable.

Brian

India Tiger Tour with Mumbai

21-Mar-23

Wow - in a word! Action packed with adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed the six half-day safaris over 5 days but would suggest this tour is best suited to the active and adventurous types. There was a lot of distance covered both within three national parks and along the treacherous roads in-between. We were fortunate to have been provided with an excellent driver who was equal to the many challenges. A nice touch was the superbly guided tour of Mumbai on our first day in India providing a good grounding into the history and culture if India whilst offering a brief opportunity to recover from our long journey from Australia. We have already booked our next tour! Thanks to everyone involved.

Pat, Australia

Taj Temples and Tigers India Tour

11-Jan-23

I had a fantastic time in India. Everything was very well planned and organised. I managed to see the tigers but also so much more. I had two different drivers during my stay and a separate tour guide in each city I visited. I would highly recommend visiting India with Alkof Holidays.
