Not only were we dropped at the railway station, but we were escorted onto the train and right to our seats by our driver. This was so welcome as we have not been in Delhi long and are still somewhat overawed by the sheer busyness of the city! The train was comfortable with good service - choosing first class/executive class was definitely the right decision!
At the other end, we were met by our guide and driver, both of whom provided the very best service all day. Our guide, Faz, was exceptional in his knowledge, his ability to move us through the crowds and his knowledge of how to get the very best photographs of the different sights! The sights, of course, spoke for themselves - simply breathtaking. 
Lunch was great; we also visited local craftsmen which was extremely interesting, but if you really don’t want to buy anything, then it would be simpler not to go. 
We were dropped back at the station and informed of our platform details, so it was very easy to find our way back on the train.
Back in Delhi, our driver was literally waiting at the carriage door for us, which could not have been better, then returned us back to our hotel. 
This was a perfect day trip - superbly organised with excellent communication both before and during the trip. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

As the description of the tour said the tour early in the morning Amar my driver was already waiting outside the hostel at 4:00 am and then we drove all the way to Agra. Since it was raining the journey took a bit more than expected and of course, we couldn’t see the sunrise. Once we arrived in Agra Farhan my tour guide was waiting, and we started the journey. He was very knowledgeable and explain everything well. We ended up the tour after lunch at 13:15 and then drove back to Delhi.

About the tour:
We visited the Taj Mahal, the Garden at the back of it, the Fort, Baby Taj and two local shops. 

About the guide:
We maintain a vivid conversation throughout the tour and he answer all my questions sincerely. Also, he helped me take many nice pictures.

About the lunch:
It tasted good although I wouldn’t call it buffet, as for me it was more a lunch box and apparently drinks aren’t include. 

In overall I enjoyed the tour and for sure it was an amazing experience. Farhan and Amar went above and beyond and made the journey very pleasant.',5.0,'2019-01-22T03:01:34Z','REV-9WR21nckZmslnf4CziWRHnwxAGFjFYKyHC1V/A1E3lY=','en','keilaruni','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P51','Taj Mahal & Agra Private Tour by Express Train from Delhi-All Inclusive','Agra full day trip','Was terrific.

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

Tour(Sites Visited):
I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.  My family and I feel like we got really great value for the money we spent. 

Overall experience:  Would highly recommend Raj Tours and Travels.  Everything was organized well, and the people we dealt with were friendly and knowledgeable.  Good value for money and a great life experience.',5.0,'2019-11-01T10:24:03Z','REV-oyFVER1RLoRvticywCSSkYwp44Nia0Ym4DpnBJeEZrU=','en','tsuttang','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P54','Delhi,Agra & Jaipur-3 Days Private Tour','Very nice and recommended tour','The 3 day (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) tour was amazing.

I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.  My family and I feel like we got really great value for the money we spent. 

Overall experience:  Would highly recommend Raj Tours and Travels.  Everything was organized well, and the people we dealt with were friendly and knowledgeable.  Good value for money and a great life experience.',5.0,'2019-11-01T10:24:03Z','REV-oyFVER1RLoRvticywCSSkYwp44Nia0Ym4DpnBJeEZrU=','en','tsuttang','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P54','Delhi,Agra & Jaipur-3 Days Private Tour','Very nice and recommended tour','The 3 day (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) tour was amazing.

Rahul the driver arrived on time 10am and was very good, quickly weaving through Agra into Fatehpur Sikri, where I was left to a guide and to take a bus into the fort.

My guide was polite but felt rushed, walking away as I attempted to take pictures.
The fort itself was impressive but did not feel as grand nor interesting as Agra Fort.

Walking from the Fort to Holy Tomb of Hazrat Salim Chishti, the latter was impressive from afar; but on arrival was directed to purchase cloth for wishes and again felt rushed to exit.

Tipping and additional charges were expected. On arrival to the fort even after buying online tickets, and at the Tomb for the gentlemen keeping shoes (slippers were provided to enter the tomb).

Return coach to the taxi area, led to the guide pointing to artisan areas whereupon skilled tradesmen proposed $75 USD for their hand crafted statues; and a tip.

Returning to the taxi, I was taken to a restaurant by a Toll Crossing. The staff were polite but the food average. An additional 1200 INR. 
Return to the hotel was smooth, another tip dispensed. 

Overall I would not say the trip is good value for money, spent double the time on the road to and from Agra than in the Fort and Tomb (1 hour based on pictures\' timestamps).

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

Tour(Sites Visited):
I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.  My family and I feel like we got really great value for the money we spent. 

Overall experience:  Would highly recommend Raj Tours and Travels.  Everything was organized well, and the people we dealt with were friendly and knowledgeable.  Good value for money and a great life experience.',5.0,'2019-11-01T10:24:03Z','REV-oyFVER1RLoRvticywCSSkYwp44Nia0Ym4DpnBJeEZrU=','en','tsuttang','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P54','Delhi,Agra & Jaipur-3 Days Private Tour','Very nice and recommended tour','The 3 day (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) tour was amazing.

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

Tour(Sites Visited):
I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.  My family and I feel like we got really great value for the money we spent. 

Overall experience:  Would highly recommend Raj Tours and Travels.  Everything was organized well, and the people we dealt with were friendly and knowledgeable.  Good value for money and a great life experience.',5.0,'2019-11-01T10:24:03Z','REV-oyFVER1RLoRvticywCSSkYwp44Nia0Ym4DpnBJeEZrU=','en','tsuttang','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P54','Delhi,Agra & Jaipur-3 Days Private Tour','Very nice and recommended tour','The 3 day (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) tour was amazing.

Rahul the driver arrived on time 10am and was very good, quickly weaving through Agra into Fatehpur Sikri, where I was left to a guide and to take a bus into the fort.

My guide was polite but felt rushed, walking away as I attempted to take pictures.
The fort itself was impressive but did not feel as grand nor interesting as Agra Fort.

Walking from the Fort to Holy Tomb of Hazrat Salim Chishti, the latter was impressive from afar; but on arrival was directed to purchase cloth for wishes and again felt rushed to exit.

Tipping and additional charges were expected. On arrival to the fort even after buying online tickets, and at the Tomb for the gentlemen keeping shoes (slippers were provided to enter the tomb).

Return coach to the taxi area, led to the guide pointing to artisan areas whereupon skilled tradesmen proposed $75 USD for their hand crafted statues; and a tip.

Returning to the taxi, I was taken to a restaurant by a Toll Crossing. The staff were polite but the food average. An additional 1200 INR. 
Return to the hotel was smooth, another tip dispensed. 

Overall I would not say the trip is good value for money, spent double the time on the road to and from Agra than in the Fort and Tomb (1 hour based on pictures\' timestamps). 
Taj Mahal with Mausoleum entry gave shoe covers without needing tips.

My guide was polite but felt rushed, walking away as I attempted to take pictures.
The fort itself was impressive but did not feel as grand nor interesting as Agra Fort.

Walking from the Fort to Holy Tomb of Hazrat Salim Chishti, the latter was impressive from afar; but on arrival was directed to purchase cloth for wishes and again felt rushed to exit.

Tipping and additional charges were expected. On arrival to the fort even after buying online tickets, and at the Tomb for the gentlemen keeping shoes (slippers were provided to enter the tomb).

Return coach to the taxi area, led to the guide pointing to artisan areas whereupon skilled tradesmen proposed $75 USD for their hand crafted statues; and a tip.

Returning to the taxi, I was taken to a restaurant by a Toll Crossing. The staff were polite but the food average. An additional 1200 INR.

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

Tour(Sites Visited):
I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.  My family and I feel like we got really great value for the money we spent. 

Overall experience:  Would highly recommend Raj Tours and Travels.  Everything was organized well, and the people we dealt with were friendly and knowledgeable.  Good value for money and a great life experience.',5.0,'2019-11-01T10:24:03Z','REV-oyFVER1RLoRvticywCSSkYwp44Nia0Ym4DpnBJeEZrU=','en','tsuttang','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P54','Delhi,Agra & Jaipur-3 Days Private Tour','Very nice and recommended tour','The 3 day (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) tour was amazing.

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

Tour(Sites Visited):
I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.  My family and I feel like we got really great value for the money we spent. 

Overall experience:  Would highly recommend Raj Tours and Travels.  Everything was organized well, and the people we dealt with were friendly and knowledgeable.  Good value for money and a great life experience.',5.0,'2019-11-01T10:24:03Z','REV-oyFVER1RLoRvticywCSSkYwp44Nia0Ym4DpnBJeEZrU=','en','tsuttang','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P54','Delhi,Agra & Jaipur-3 Days Private Tour','Very nice and recommended tour','The 3 day (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) tour was amazing.

Rahul the driver arrived on time 10am and was very good, quickly weaving through Agra into Fatehpur Sikri, where I was left to a guide and to take a bus into the fort.

My guide was polite but felt rushed, walking away as I attempted to take pictures.
The fort itself was impressive but did not feel as grand nor interesting as Agra Fort.

Walking from the Fort to Holy Tomb of Hazrat Salim Chishti, the latter was impressive from afar; but on arrival was directed to purchase cloth for wishes and again felt rushed to exit.

Tipping and additional charges were expected. On arrival to the fort even after buying online tickets, and at the Tomb for the gentlemen keeping shoes (slippers were provided to enter the tomb).

Return coach to the taxi area, led to the guide pointing to artisan areas whereupon skilled tradesmen proposed $75 USD for their hand crafted statues; and a tip.

Returning to the taxi, I was taken to a restaurant by a Toll Crossing. The staff were polite but the food average. An additional 1200 INR. 
Return to the hotel was smooth, another tip dispensed. 

Overall I would not say the trip is good value for money, spent double the time on the road to and from Agra than in the Fort and Tomb (1 hour based on pictures\' timestamps).

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

Tour(Sites Visited):
I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.

If you like shopping with a private demonstration of local crafts you will probably get the opportunity, but if that makes you uncomfortable I would avoid.',5.0,'2023-09-09T09:24:45Z','REV-2WpEooePoh1eXEQDBXRq2oj6rmbBZiV6tKRFJ4CA5y0=','en','Jeremy W','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P57','Fatehpur Sikri Private Half Day Tour','Worthwhile half day','Our driver was on time for the pickup from our hotel. On reaching Fatehpur Sikri we were met by our guide. He provided a lot of information about the site over and above what was available on the information boards around the site, and also pointed out details that we would have completely overlooked. The tour ended with a visit to the mosque, which was still functioning so I had to cover my shorts. (It might have been useful if the tour description had included information about the dress code.) Our guide also encouraged us in the direction of making a wish at the shrine. However, we were shocked by the price quoted for buying a bit of cloth to leave at the shrine. When we declined this our guide did not appear entirely pleased. Our trip included a buffet lunch. We were given a choice as to whether we wanted this in Fatehpur Sikri or Agra. We opted for the latter. We were slightly concerned when we were taken to the same restaurant that we had been to the previous day on the Taj Mahal/Agra Fort trip and where we had been given a set meal. It appears that foreign tour groups are often taken here. However, we were given a different meal (a Thali selection) and could ask for top-ups of any of the dishes; so a buffet of sorts it was. Overall the trip was worth it.',4.0,'2023-04-18T12:34:58Z','REV-eC2OZ8EzNleSvskE3RqRibngmzspveCbUpXG7plScm8=','en','RichardFree','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P57','Fatehpur Sikri Private Half Day Tour','a great time','Meerman was a great driver.

3 days, 2 nights for golden triangle tour Oct 8-10, 2019.  Requested english speaking guide, with accommodations at 5 star hotels (additional cost compared to default 3 stars)

Planning:  
I did most of the initial planning over email.  Shanu (Tour owner) was very responsive to all my questions.  When I landed in India, I called him to finalize the details and was able to get hold of him easily.  I had issues with using the online payment portal, but Shanu was very understanding and flexible in making alternative payment arrangements.

Structure:
We had one driver (Maharaj) for all 3 days, but a different tour guide in each of the cities.  We landed at Delhi airport, where our driver picked us up and we started immediately on the tour.
The vehicle was a Toyota Innova, which met our requirements (3 adults) and was air-conditioned.  There is a lot of time spent in the car especially travelling from city-to-city so be prepared for that.  Would suggest getting an Indian sim-card for your unlocked cell phone.  It is very cheap, and comes in handy if you need to call the driver/tour guide.  Not required, but nice-to-have.

Accommodations:
We stayed at the Marriott in Agra on the first night, and in the Holiday Inn in Jaipur.  They were both excellent. The rooms were luxurious, and the service was prompt and friendly. It really helped us out to get a great shower and a good night sleep after long days of traveling/touring.  Both hotels were very western-friendly, and included free buffet breakfasts.

Tour(Sites Visited):
I won\'t get into the full listing of all the places we saw, but we did catch all the main attractions in each of the cities.  The default tour is very comprehensive but they are  flexible if there is something in particular you want to see additionally.  The main things you cannot miss:
Delhi - Raj ghat (tomb of Mahatma Gandhii), India Gate
Agra - Taj Mahal - go at dawn for most beautiful view, Fatehpur Sikri - which is a huge fort (not to be missed)
Jaipur - do the Elephant ride at the Amber fort (once in a lifetime experience)

Driver:  
Maharaj was extraordinary.  He was our driver all 3 days and went with us from city to city.  He was a safe driver, and knew how to navigate the busy city streets.  He was very friendly and we felt very comfortable when we were in the vehicle with him.  Highly recommend him.

Tour Guides:  
We had 3 guides one in each city, and they were each really great in their unique ways.
Delhi - We had Jimmy who used to be a history professor but now does tours all over india.  He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of the history of the sites we saw, and we learned a lot about India.
Agra - We had Ayush (not sure of spelling?) in Agra who actually helped us get settled in the hotel that first night, and took us to the Taj Mahal the next morning.  He was super helpful, and took a lot of pictures so my family could all be in the pictures together.  He had a photographer\'s eye and suggested a lot of great spots for beautiful pictures.  
Jaipur:  We had Sunny in Jaipur.  He was quite funny with a real positive personality.  By the third day, we were pretty tired, but he brought a lot of energy and helped us enjoy the last few sites on our tour.  He even took pictures of us when we did the elephant climb and sent them over to me after.

The only thing I would caution is that on each of the tours, they will take you to a local shop to show you how some local specialty crafts are done.  This is pretty much just a sales pitch designed to get you buy things.  Agra - it was hand-woven carpets, Agra - it was inlaid marble, Jaipur - it was precious stones/jewels.  You will watch a demonstration of the skills, then they will ask you to examine the store for things to purchase.  You will feel obligated to buy something after watching the demonstration but you don\'t have to. Just be prepared for that.  You are free to not buy anything, but you will feel quite a bit of pressure.  That being said the items being sold are high-quality and they do ship anywhere in the world.

Value:  The cost of the tour was in US dollars, charged per person.  It included everything (hotel, monument fees, car/driver, two breakfasts) except for lunch and dinner.  We paid a little extra for the 5-star hotel upgrade, but it was totally worth it.  Before settling on Raj Tours and Travels, I did a lot of shopping around, and the prices were generally in the same vicinity.  My family and I feel like we got really great value for the money we spent. 

Overall experience:  Would highly recommend Raj Tours and Travels.  Everything was organized well, and the people we dealt with were friendly and knowledgeable.  Good value for money and a great life experience.',5.0,'2019-11-01T10:24:03Z','REV-oyFVER1RLoRvticywCSSkYwp44Nia0Ym4DpnBJeEZrU=','en','tsuttang','TRIPADVISOR'),('61295P54','Delhi,Agra & Jaipur-3 Days Private Tour','Very nice and recommended tour','The 3 day (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) tour was amazing.

I was somewhat skeptical at first, as Arnie was seemingly a bit shy at the start - introductions, where we\'re from, etc. - but I soon became impressed with his story-telling ability and sense of history and historical perspective. Arnie touched on - in my mind - all the most prescient topics: Berlin first mentioned in the annals, strife at the end of Weimar, of course WWII, but even more interesting: how the Communist stronghold of Berlin held out against the Nazi and how, later in the century, essentially squatted in the newly empty apartments after the fall of the Wall.

Our boat trip was cancelled 2 days running due to high winds and rough seas so we looked for an alternate experience. From booking at the shop in the town to the flight itself, it was excellent. The pilot, Daniel was superb - friendly and informative. He made sure that all of us were given equal opportunities to witness the fin whales and blue whales.  Having done whale boat trips previously, this is a completely different experience. Seeing the blue whale from a helicopter gives you a true idea of the scale and beauty of these magnificent creatures. After seeing the whales, we were treated to a huge pod of dusky dolphins. Leaving the sea behind, we flew through the mountains, landing on Mount Fyffe. Here you are afforded great views of the bays below. It was interesting to learn how the landscape was changed following earthquakes and watch red deer run through the mountains. A definite recommendation if you want an experience in Kaikoura.',5.0,'2024-03-05T00:11:46Z','REV-F9bq9Qun7QzK3lLpr9QGkU6Ai2lTBTUw9rLDSI4t+xs=','en','ruthieb02','TRIPADVISOR'),('61327P3','45 Minutes Whale Watching Ocean Safari Helicopter Tour','Must Do!','Wow this was just fabulous!

From the beginning, the booking company communicated clearly so I knew exactly what to expect.

Tiago picked us up on time, was calm, accommodating, and patient with all of us from the oldest to the youngest.
The Mercedes van was spacious and comfortable. 

Within the hour we were stopping for a snack and our first glasses of wine followed by a café. 

The Tour continued to the top of a mountain at an olive oil museum, and more wine. Then on to the boat tour with a bottle of wine from our previous stop to quench our thirst as we floated down the Douro. 

Final stop was lunch with a tour of the family estate, followed by a visit to their wine cellar along with three port tastings. 

Every stop was amazing, but for me, the lunch was just okay.   And whatever you do do not order the vegetarian (I’m not a vegetarian by any means, but was looking for a break from all the meat I had ate on the trip) stick with the pork it is way better.

I sat in the front seat of the van and asked an endless amount of questions that Tiago could always answer which added to the already incredible experience. The tour itself included several stops that all included some great food pairings along with the wine tastings. Our lunch (which was fantastic!) was at an incredible, historical home that added to magical experience of the day.

Excellent','So here is a comprehensive, but understandable review of this tour

Tour Itself
- In just a day, was able to visit the \'must-sees\' in Porto
- The tour includes the \'port\' wine experience (tasting and winery tour)
- Harmony of historical monuments, informative places. posh areas, city-side, relaxing views, and famous landmarks.

Tour Guide (Andre)
-Informative, but at the same time fun and cracks jokes
-Has a positive vibe
-Not the \'typical\' tour guide who just blabbers historical facts. He tries to incorporate the past with the present and fun info.
- Unlike other guides, he is flexible and adapts to the needs and demands of the customers. He gives the sufficient time possible in enjoying and trying everything. HE NEVER RUSHES.
-Open to suggestions or changes in itinerary when needed
- Offers to take pictures as many as possible
-Treats you like a friend and not just a customer. 
- Unlike other guides, he tries to break the barrier between guide and tourist. You feel like you are with a friend. He interacts and eats with the tourists
-Overall, he is not the tour guide who will just drop you off and gives the time of pick up in that certain location. He interacts

Tour Experience / Company
- Having a tour in a mercedes benz automobile in a quality and safe condition is a +
- This is one of the few companies that value customer service in TripAdvisor. After booking, they will immediately contact your regarding the availability, meetup point, and problems (if there are any). 
- Again customer care and service. This is what i love most about this company and tour. After booking, Andre immediately contacted me and gave me assurance of the slot or availability (which is a + considering that I am a solo/student traveler in a different country - who wouldn\'t want an assurance that they would be picked up or would get what they paid for?)  I have tried other tours in other sites or companies. Often times, you are the one who will contact them. The worst part is that sometimes, the contact information given is wrong or they will contact you the day after.',5.0,'2018-04-03T14:07:10Z','REV-dm4Sz40+h0N6KRd6RumOZTVzw7qL+sdbOr3QpL2ewSI=','en','John C','TRIPADVISOR'),('61351P10','Private Porto City Tour with optional Boat Cruise, Lunch & Wine Tasting','Une journée inoubliable','Ma compagne et moi avons passés un super moment avec le guide qui est très gentil, simple et qui sait nous transmettre avec passion l\'histoire de la ville de Porto !

He says ( and we agree ) that to have a guide with a personal knowledge of Porto’s amazing progress over the past 20 years gives more depth to such a tour.  For us the societal impact of the growth of tourism on the population of Porto was the most fascinating part of his talk.  Many parts of the inner city were no-go areas with squalid housing, high crime rates and chronic unemployment.  Things looked pretty bleak.  Then, as if my magic, along came tourism and with it the building of hotels and investment in the city . This new found raison d’être for Porto continues to this day with the building of a new metro line and building renovation going on whenever one looks. Julio is immensely proud of his city and quite rightly so.   We would want to return to Porto again in 5 years by which time the current construction will be done.  By then it will surely rival any similarly sized tourist city in Europe.  Julio’s English is excellent.  His intellect is outstanding as would befit his training as a psychologist.

This was the only tour still taking bookings for solo travelers.
I booked in the afternoon the day before and received notice my booking and payment had been accepted but I will receive a confirmation email soon. After approx. 16hrs, no email/ phone call at all. I went to the pickup point where a guy on the phone told me they didnt even see my booking until 9pm the night before (5-6hrs after I booked it), the booking was not within 24hrs, and I was a solo traveler so my booking was not accepted.
1) how does it take 5-6hrs to even see a booking, and then no reply via email nor phone within 16hrs? Because of this I couldnt make other arrangements for the day, all other tours had begun.
2) if it must be within 24hrs, dont accept the booking (and payment), like every other tour on this website!

In short, their service is terribly unprofessional and the only excuses i got were \"its our busy season\" and \"its the website\'s fault\". If being busy is a problem, get out of the game. Dont hide behind the website, other companies have figured it out and in the end it was YOU that failed to communicate.

Edit: This review has been resubmitted after the company made contact with me to correct 1 point I misunderstood. However, as of right now (~12hrs before their next tour), they are still taking bookings on this website, against their supposed 24hr policy.',1.0,'2023-07-01T14:46:32Z','REV-KJlGyT6+CY8GBw0efMspvtPw5dgbY98owvL9AZNX/ys=','en','RB131313','TRIPADVISOR'),('61351P2','Braga and Guimar&atilde;es Historical and Cultural Tour from Porto','Culture and history in beautiful towns','Very interesting tour - Julii was an excellent guide and the restaurant was also delicious.

Friendly, knowledgeable and engaging guide. We absolutely loved our experience with him and everything we learned about the towns, the wines and beyond! 

However, there was confusion with the tour company as well as the tour company & our guide about what was owed. When you are booking, remember that there is a €54-64 per person charge for your tastings and lunch. However, at the end of the tour, we were told that we owed €106 per person and had to prove we were told €54, which worried our guide - more from a perspective that he may not be getting what he was owed or experienced a miscommunication from the company.

We did ask for clarification around what we would owe at the end of the tour and never heard back, so communication was a little spotty from the tour company. Tiago was HIGHLY communicative. 

For a private experience, you still can’t beat what is offered and the wineries as part of the preplanned program were excellent.

We paid extra to go off the beaten path and glad we chose this upgrade as I\'m not sure we would have found this diamond in the rough winery on our own.  D\'Origem is beautifully situated high atop of the mountaintop and we had a lovely wine and olive oil tasting.   We actually purchased some of both.  After we took a nice boat ride on the Douro River, again very picturesque.   We then had a beautiful lunch in the garden courtyard of Casa dos Barros.  Antonio gave us an insider tip to pour our port on our chocolate cake and let\'s just say we\'ve been doing it since (Thanks Antonio!).   Had our first Port tasting and we stopped along the way to take some obligatory pictures along the way to our next stop of Amarante a quaint little town and stopped by a small little deli for a charcuterie and beer. We walked the town stopped at a couple of pastery shops ( one for fertility if you know you know, lol)  Saw a beautiful church (Portugal does not lack in this department, every town has beautiful churches) .  This was a full full day that kept us busy from 9-6 and it went by in a blink of an eye.   Again, I highly recommend this excursion and to request Antionio, you won\'t be disappointed...promise!',5.0,'2023-11-03T10:54:09Z','REV-raBh3rK3MkuotibKkgHnEmLwuQefXBEQ8VToRD4d9bQ=','en','Vicki G','TRIPADVISOR'),('61351P9','Private Douro Valley Food and Wine Tour From Porto','A perfect day!','An absolutely fantastic day!

Starting with the negatives- First we did not get any confirmation on pick up location until very late at night the day before the tour. The morning of the tour, our pick up was 35 mins late. We were then transferred to the vehicle of another operator (we got lucky that the other operator was excellent, and our transfer to the desert camp was smooth). At the camp, our luggage arrived late. The dinner served was very underwhelming- i had an upset stomach for the whole of the next day.

The next morning once again we had to wait close to an hour to get picked up for our day 2 tour. Thankfully back to the same excellent operator we got, so the rest of the tour was smooth and well organised. However, as we travelled with the substitute operator, their itinerary was different from the one provided to us by Merzouga Experience.

It is really nice and clean and equipped with hot water for shower. It is much more colder at night as expected. But we had a great time. Our driver/guide Aimad, is very friendly and explains the background of every stop we make along the way. He is also very considerate. A few of us were sick in the group and he was considerate enough to get us all to the hotel earlier so we can get enough rest. On top of that, after knowing that we were not able to book the train to Casablanca, he offered to help and drop us off as well, making our trips a lot more easier. Overall I would say this is a must have experience if you visit Morocco.',5.0,'2023-11-25T05:52:01Z','REV-kzX5WcwCL8ukO+1zUnQ1jCtZ2CdhYK3WTPTHi1MJVCM=','en','Pathfinder676758','TRIPADVISOR'),('61354P5','Fez to Marrakech via Merzouga Desert - 3 Day Desert Tour','Amazing trip away from big cities','Best part of my stay in Morocco.
