Review: Exceptional Service with One Major Location Flaw
I recently completed a trip to India organized through kimkim, and I wanted to share my feedback on the experience.

The Highlights: Transport, Guides, and Dharamshala
Overall, the logistics were excellent. The midday pickups and the long-distance transfers—including the drive to the Taj Mahal in Agra—were very comfortable and well-managed. The guides were professional and friendly throughout the journey.

However, I want to give a special mention to the team in Dharamshala. The taxi driver and the guide, both named Sono, there truly went above and beyond. Their efforts to ensure I was comfortable exceeded all expectations. Not only were they incredibly competent, but they were also genuinely kind and attentive. They made that part of the trip unforgettable.

The Accommodations
The hotel in Dharamshala was fantastic—it had a beautiful atmosphere and a stunning view. I felt completely at home there.

Regarding the hotel in Delhi, the property itself was good in terms of facilities and breakfast. However, the location was a major issue. After an exhausting 18-hour journey, I was checked into a hotel on a main road in an area that felt very unsafe for a solo Western woman to walk around. There was no possibility of stepping out for a meal or a short walk. I felt "locked in." There are many wonderful areas in Delhi where a tourist can safely walk around, and I was disappointed that such an inconvenient location was chosen for my arrival.

Breakfast and Planning
One point of frustration was the breakfast logic. Although it was discussed otherwise, I missed breakfast for two days because of early departures (e.g., leaving for Agra at 6:00 AM). Instead of being provided with a lunch box—which is standard practice in many other countries like Turkey, Egypt, etc., I was told we would "stop on the way," where I then had to pay for my own meal. I expected better coordination regarding included meals during early excursions.

Final Verdict
The human element of this trip—the guides and drivers—was a 10/10, especially in Dharamshala. If the company improves its hotel selection in Delhi regarding safety and walkability, and fixes the "breakfast box" logistics, it would be a perfect service.

Hotel Reviews
Deventure Sarovar Portico

Here is a review for the Delhi hotel: Great facilities and staff, but a difficult location for solo travelers Rating: 3/5 stars (Recommended for the interior, not the location) Pros: Amenities: The hotel itself is well-maintained. The rooms are well-equipped, and the overall decor and facilities are of a high standard. Breakfast Quality: When I was able to eat there, the breakfast was excellent with a good variety of options. Cons: Location: This was the biggest drawback. The hotel is situated on a busy main road in an area that does not feel suitable for tourists. After an 18-hour journey, I wanted to be able to walk around or find a local spot to eat, but it felt unsafe and inaccessible for a solo Western woman. I felt "locked in" and unable to explore the neighborhood at all. Logistics/Service: I was disappointed by the lack of flexibility regarding early departures. Despite leaving at 6:00 AM for excursions, the hotel did not provide a packed breakfast or a lunch box. In my experience traveling to other countries, this is standard service. Having to buy my own breakfast on the road because the hotel couldn't provide a box was quite frustrating. Final Thought: If you only need a place to sleep and will be picked up at the door by a driver, the hotel is very nice. However, if you value walkability and a safe-feeling neighborhood to explore on foot, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

The hotel’s interior and room amenities were excellent. The bathroom was perfectly fine—clean, modern, and everything functioned well. The room itself was very well-equipped and comfortable. However, I found the mattress to be far too soft. While bed preference is subjective, it was quite difficult for me as I have back issues and require more support.

What truly took my breath away was the fantastic view of the nature surrounding the hotel—it was truly amazing and made me feel completely at ease.

The highlight was definitely the fantastic view of the nature; it was breathtaking and created such a peaceful atmosphere. Service and Breakfast The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I was also very impressed with the breakfast—it was a huge spread with a great variety of delicious options. It was a perfect start to each day. The Bathroom (Areas for Improvement) The only real downside was the bathroom. It didn't quite match the high standard of the rest of the hotel. Some of the fixtures were broken, and the toilet was very low, which made it a bit uncomfortable to use. Overall, the bathroom lacked the comfort and quality that was so evident in the living area and the rest of the property. Conclusion The hotel is very well-located and offers great hospitality. If the bathrooms were updated to match the beautiful rooms, it would be a 10/10 experience!

Feedback on "Free Time": Regarding my free time in Delhi, it was unfortunately impossible to utilize or enjoy. Due to the hotel's location, I felt completely restricted. The hotel was situated directly on a chaotic and dirty main road with no sidewalks or pedestrian access. Stepping out meant being immediately in the middle of heavy traffic and pollution, which was an absolute imposition. As a result, I could not leave the hotel at all during my free time. I had hoped to explore the local area or walk to a nearby restaurant, but the surroundings were not suitable or safe for a solo tourist to walk around. I ended up spending my entire free time confined to the hotel. I have since learned that there are many beautiful hotel complexes, especially near the airport or in other districts, that offer safe green spaces and walkable surroundings. I am very disappointed that I was placed in an area that made it impossible to experience the city during my downtime. It felt like a missed opportunity to see Delhi.

Quality of Experience
Guides, Drivers and Staff
The transportation throughout the trip was excellent and very professional. The cars provided were modern, high-quality, and equipped with great air conditioning, which made the long drives very comfortable. It was also very important to me that there was always fresh water available in the car. The drivers were wonderful and very respectful of my space; when I was tired and wanted to sleep, they let me rest in peace instead of making forced conversation. I want to give a special mention to my team in Dharamshala—my driver and my guide, both named Sonu. They were absolutely fantastic, incredibly friendly, and went out of their way to accommodate all my wishes. They gave me brilliant tips for my free day, and their competence and kindness truly exceeded all my expectations.

The Drive & Logistics The trip to the Taj Mahal was a comfortable drive, and the transportation was high quality as usual. However, the start of the day was frustrating. After an 18-hour journey from Germany and arriving late the previous afternoon, I had to leave at 6:00 AM without any breakfast. Even though it was planned differently, no breakfast box was provided. The Experience at the Monument The Taj Mahal itself is beautiful, but the experience was a bit exhausting. I was approached constantly by people wanting to take photos. While I am perfectly capable of saying "no" myself, after the 100th time, it becomes draining. I would have appreciated it if the guide had been more proactive in shielding me from these interruptions so I could enjoy the monument in peace. The Food Situation I want to clarify that I handle heat and spicy Indian food very well—I ate street food in Dharamshala with no issues at all. In Delhi, I was told I should eat at the hotel because the food "outside" is too spicy, yet the restaurant I was taken to after the Taj Mahal served food that was nearly inedible due to the spice level. It felt like a test rather than a meal. I prefer to choose where I eat myself, as I know my own limits best. Final Thoughts While it was a nice excursion and a comfortable trip, it simply did not compare to the magic of Dharamshala. It was a good experience to see the Taj Mahal, but the logistical hiccups and the food situation made it less than perfect.

Last Day in Delhi I am unable to provide a review for my final day in Delhi because I never got to experience it. My flight from Dharamshala back to Delhi was canceled without a replacement. As a result, I had to be driven four hours to a different airport and did not arrive back at the hotel until very late in the afternoon. Because of these travel complications, I had no time left to see any of the city before my departure. It was a shame to miss out on the final part of the itinerary due to these logistical issues.

We added a side visit to the Slums in Mumbai, because our guide Sujaj was brought up near there and said it's a must see. We sent Aditya the information and the next day it was all set.

Hotel Amet Haveli

We would rate this hotel very highly. Our "room" was truly a suite with two lovely alcoves overlooking the river and the sparkling view of the city of Udiapur. We enjoyed the swing alcove with a glass of wine each evening. We also ate dinner in their rooftop restaurant and were treated to a colorful light show during our meal. The second alcove offered ottoman style seating, which unfortunately we didn't have enough time for. So we would suggest 3 nights if you'd like to enjoy the full experience! Jacki and Jay Witlen
