Reviews

What we do, we do the best, but we don’t like to blow our own horn. So, take a look at some of our most recent reviews and see what our customers has to say about us....

We had the most wonderful time in India with Vibrant India tours. Karam went above and beyond to help us put together a personalised itinerary, and then again worked so hard to reorganise our itinerary after a last minute change on our behalf. Gaurav was welcoming and easy to communicate with as our contact in India, and all of the day tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver Narindra looked after us the whole time as he stayed with us throughout our trip. I would not hesitate to book with Vibrant India again, and have already recommended them to several people wanting to go to India too. Thankyou!

Rebecca Vernot

The team at Vibrant India Tours were fantastic! Great communications with regular and frequent contact to make sure we were comfortable with everything. We were so well looked after by all of the tour guides who were extremely knowledgeable, drivers who were not only safe, but also made us feel comfortable the whole way; nothing was too much trouble and some fantastic hotel options. Thank you Karam and Belinda for making this holiday memorable!

Candice Walker

We worked with Vibrant India Tours to put together an extensive 3 week itinerary visiting Delhi, Agra, Shimla, Jim Corbett National Park, Glenburn Tea Estate and Darjeeling. The outcome was an outstanding trip, well designed and managed by Vibrant and which we all thoroughly enjoyed.

Roger Davies

Vibrant India Tours are amazing to work with. I have special requirements due to health issues, they listened to all my needs and requests and tailored a trip for me. (based on one of their standard tours.) Every detail driver, guides, sights I wished to see, hotels and more were perfect for me. They were available for me at any time while I was touring as well, not that I needed contact often, but the once or twice I had a question, they responded almost immediately. I cannot recommend them enough and am already thinking of the next trip I would like to do with them.

lisa chadfield

A huge thank you to the team at Vibrant India Tours, both in Australia and India. A fantastic tour extremely well organised and executed by the whole team, thanks in particular to Karam in Melbourne and Gaurav in Jaipur.

Maurice Hine

Absolutely amazing tour of the Golden Triangle - we could not have done it without you Karam! Karam organised everything including flights, hotels, tours, driver and guides. Travelling as a group of four women we felt safe at all times and well connected to Karam and Australia should we have any questions. Can highly recommend Vibrant India Tours - I can't wait to go back and explore more of India!
