India Tours NZ

"My wife and I have recently returned from a tour of India with Kiwi n Tiger. We had looked at several companies but chose Kiwi n Tiger on the strength of their itineraries, small group numbers and most importantly, their reviews. We arrived in Delhi on 6th March and were met by our driver Surendra. As it turned out , Karen and I were the only ones on this tour so we had a luxury SUV and Surendra all to ourselves. We could not have got a better person to escort us for the 16 days of our holiday. He was an amazing driver, food guide, historian, financial adviser and genuinely nice person. At each city or village we had a guide with a great knowledge of the history and culture of whatever we encountered. Due to the size of our vehicle we were able to thread through very narrow streets and get to places not possible with buses and large groups. We had a 2 day tour of Varanasi planned for the end of our tour but due to Covid19 our internal flights and activities were being cancelled. At this stage we were in Udaipur. We were in constant contact with Vishal and we decided the only option was to go with our origional flights from Delhi to Singapore and on to Christchurch. Surendra drove us 8 1/2 hours back to Jaipur then another 6 hrs to Delhi. He also made sure we had an early taxi for our early morning flight the following morning. Vishal took grate care to ensure our flights were still ok and had arranged our accommodation in Jaipur at very short notice. We are extremely grateful for the assistance we received to ensure our safe return home. Karen and I would have no hesitation in recommending Kiwi n Tiger to anyone planning a trip to India. You will not be disappointed. R W Moffitt"

"Wow, we traveled to India for three weeks in Oct, Nov 2019 with Kiwi n Tiger and had an awesome, adventurous holiday. Their itinerary was well organised with alot of variety. Fantastic food, great vehicle and driver, the beautiful heritage hotels were like an oasis to come back to after a day of sightseeing. But best of all was the way Vishal made the trip feel like you were seeing the real india not just the tourist stuff. His passion, professionalism and friendly nature made the holiday the trip of a lifetime. I thoroughly recommend Kiwi N Tiger."

"I went to India with an open mind.....well Kiwi n Tiger certainly opened my senses of sight,smell and perception on India and in particular Rajasthan.In every city we had a local guide as well as our tour guide Visual which was invaluable for seeing the real India and it's people. We visited places like the Taj Mahal at Agra Old and New Delhi it's bazaars alleyways temple's food and history.Jaipur elephant ride and the Amber fort on to Jodpur a camel safari then Narlai village hunting lodge where we did and spotted a leopard after our high tea.In the Lakeland district of Udaipur we visited the city palace and cruised the beautiful lake Pichola.We rode tuc tics like the locals.All the hotels resorts where 5 star marble etc everywhere.l event eat Indian food now. Visual and the Kiwi n Tiger crew have exceeded my expectations and my views on India have been changed forever. Thanks guys for the tour of a lifetime and I've been around. Terry T."

"October 2017 My family and I travelled with Kiwi n Tiger in India from 23rd Sept - 6th October 2017, we covered Delhi/Varanasi/Agra/Jaipur/Pushkar/Jodphur/Narlai and Udaipur. We had always wanted to go to India so we had looked at it many times and the different ways it could be done, and as fairly experienced and independent travellers we decided India was one of those countries that could be extremely stressful to travel in, especially with a 10 and 13 year old. We also felt that the 14 days we had were going to be so precious we didn’t want to be stressed - we just wanted to absorb! We looked into lots of different tour options but the elements that were important to us were local knowledge, flexibility (as we can be quite particular!) and feeling like we could put our trust in our tour group. Kiwi’s hate to have the wool pulled over their eyes and it is particularly awkward when you don’t wholly trust the person looking after you. We came across Kiwi n Tiger and were apprehensive at first because they didn’t have a history, however all our correspondence with Vishal Kulria was very professional and detailed and the KnT website was awesome. But being able to meet with Vishal in Christchurch to discuss our trip was invaluable, we became infected with his passion and enthusiasm for his beloved India. We signed up immediately and it was a great decision. Both Vishal and his partner Shiv we very attentive to our requirements and very helpful with suggestions to make the most our our long awaited trip. Once in India we were very well taken care off, our driver was excellent, Vishal helped us with bartering when shopping (many local guides take commission), we never had to think about where we were going to eat we just had to decide what we felt like, street food - restaurant - local specialties, Vishal had heaps of suggestions. Also the hotel suggestions made by KnT were great and we experienced some exceptional resort stays, Rawla Narlai in particular. We had to remain flexible because of the children and this was not a problem for KnT if plans had to change. We wholeheartedly recommend Kiwi n Tiger for any kind of trip to India, our kids really enjoyed themselves and were treated as VIP’s as were my husband and I. India is an amazing country to travel, the culture the history (a large amount of which is crammed into Vishals head) the chaos and colour, it is all I expected and more! Thanks Vishal, Shiv, Joni and everyone else who made our Kiwi n Tiger trip so memorable. KiaOra Kylie Horwarth"
