What about tipping in India?
Although tipping in India is not compulsory, doing so is a nice gesture. In some circumstances, a small tip is expected. The rules of etiquette for gratuity in India are a little muddled as a colonial past, tourism, and cultural influences clash. We do recommend tipping at various instances, but tip higher only when you are very happy with the service. Tip can given after completion of the services from 5$, 10$ or more as per your choice and depending on how much satisfied & happy you are with the service provider.
Standard tipping that travelers provide to different service providers:
Pickup & Drop - 2$ to 10$
Waiters -1$ to 5$
Drivers - 5$ to 10$
Managers & Tour Guides - 10$ to 50$ or it totally depends on you

Do you operate a “single share” option and how does it work?
No, we do not. As a solo traveler, you have to pay single supplement charges. If the Single price is not shown, please enquire for details.
Do I need medical/travel insurance?
Yes. It is strongly recommended to buy a comprehensive medical/travel insurance in advance from your country before traveling to India.

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.

Escorted Kashmir Ladakh Tour Package
23-Oct-23
I enjoyed my trip immensely. every day was wonderfully beautiful. Everything went perfectly, without any problems. My stay in Ladakh was especially wonderful. I would like to thank my driver/guide Sharif. It was a pleasure to travel with him. He was a very good driver, but also a very good and caring guide. If I could visit another part of Ladakh next year in July or August, I would definitely want to do so, possibly in combination with the Indian Himalayas. I would also like to thank Alkof Tours for the good organization and good follow-up of my trip. Marcel Merlo Belgium

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.

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.
