Ravi and Active India were excellent in putting together a perfect trip for us to India. He was super responsive in the planning stages and kept us fully informed. During the trip, the coordination between our various drivers and guides was seamless. A WhatsApp group let us stay in touch throughout the trip. Ravi made sure that our wedding anniversary was celebrated by the hotels during the trip.

Ravi put together an amazing trip. The accommodations were all fantastic. Guides and drivers were terrific.

I had only two issues with Ravi. The first and most significant I shared blame for. He never informed me in the chat thst a visa was required for the trip. Obviously I should have checked. I only found out when I went to check in for my flight. Apparently the info had been in the document package he had provided. It was in stark contrast to the chat I had for my trip to Sri Lanka at the same time. I'm that chat your travel specialist, Dhanushka, informed me immed that a visa was required for a trip to Sri Lanka.

My second concern, which was minor, was the failure to let me know that we needed cold weather clothing for the Safaris. It would have been nice to have some heavier clothes and a ski hat for our morning journeys into the jungle.

I do want to emphasize how wonderful the trip was and that I would be happy to use Active India again in the future.

One final comment related to the Kimkim interface is related to multiple chats. It would have been far more convenient to have one chat instead of uploading documents multiple times in addition to all of the plane reservations.

Happy to discuss further

Interesting tour of the older buildings in the city

To Rajat (Agent), Hermant (Guide) and Mr Singh (Driver), thank you all so much for creating an amazing experience for us in India.

As a family travelling with kids aged 9 and 7, we wanted culture and adventure (plus a bit of time to unwind) and that is exactly what we got.

The itinerary creation and execution were flawless and KimKim nailed the brief.

A massive shout out to Hermant and Mr Singh who made our travel immensely comfortable and allowed us to flex our trip on the fly - as life is not always clockwise work with kids in tow.

The transport was super comfortable and always safe, and our heads are stuffed with more facts than we could ever hope to remember. Hermant is my phone a friend. Little touches like water and treats for the kids were provided and the hotels treated us impeccably.

There were great (authentic) food recommendations, cultural stops and simply. An awesome time.

Beautiful country, beautiful people - we hope to see you one day again.

Our 3 guides were informative, well prepared, kind, friendly and accommodating. And our driver was amazing as he navigated the busy streets of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. The hotels also were all clean and comfortable. Thank you, Lim Kim for helping us plan a wonderful trip to India.

From my first interaction with Ravi Tickoo through every subsequent interaction - whether virtual or in-person - with him, his administrative colleague, Aditya, or Adarsh, who met us upon arrival at Delhi, was top notch! Equally superb were our guides - Mr. Dharmender (Delhi), Mr. Ronit Sharma (Agra), and Mr. Sanjay Safaya (Jaipur). Each was engaging, informative, considerate of our requests; wonderful gentlemen! Each site visit was delightful and educational - thanks to their expertise and generous engagement with us!

Mr. Brijesh, our driver for the week, was no less than spectacular. The very epitome of thoughtful, considerate, cautious, concerned for our comfort. Mr. Brijesh spoke to us only occasionally; however, when he did, he was very engaging, interesting, informative. We were fast to appreciate his professionalism and commitment to excellence in his responsibilities.
