Tailor-Made Trips to Kerala, India

Booking with Active India Holidays was the best decision I could have made for this trip to India. Everything was so well handled from the airport pick-up and drop-offs to the hotel check-ins. We stayed in 5 different cities, and in each we had beautiful and comfortable hotels, amazing tour guides, and excellent drivers. Our favorite driver throughout the whole trip was Mr. Brijesh- he was with us for 3 of the 5 cities, and he made the journey smoother. He drove very safely, was always punctual, and always polite. He also had everything we needed in his trunk, such as cold water and umbrellas for the hot days. Mr. Ganesh, our airport representative, was amazing. He took his time to explain everything to us, made us feel welcome in India, and was very helpful during our first city transfer. We really liked all of our tour guides: They were all very punctual, helpful, informative, and polite. All of our guides were so kind to take many of our photos. Mr. Dharmender in Delhi was so patient with us- keeping up with our pace, answering all of our questions, and even thought of giving us quick history lessons in the shaded areas. He took us to a place where we got gorgeous and reasonably priced indian wear. Mr. Mohan in Varanasi was very amenable - we had to rearrange our tours due to a medical issue, and Mr. Mohan was very nice to work with us, but also made sure we still could visit everywhere we had planned to. In Agra, Mr. Ronit was very thoughtful when it came to visiting the Taj Mahal and making sure we were aware of the tourist traps. He took lovely pictures and had all the perfect angles. He also made sure that nobody was directly in our photos. Mr. Surya from Jaipur was ultimately one of our favorites. He made my mother's birthday so special by thinking of the perfect location for her to be surprised with her birthday cakes and allowed her to have beautiful pics. While we are on the topic of my mother's birthday, we want to give Active India Holiday a very special thank you for making her day so exceptional and memorable. Mr. Suyra was a great conversationalist and made our time in Jaipur very pleasant. Additionally, he made us aware of tourist traps and took us to affordable places to buy anything we needed. Mr. Suraj in Mumbai was very helpful and flexible with us. He allowed us to do as much as we could before leaving for the airport. Furthermore, he took some amazing videos( with our permission, of course) and made some wonderful videos for us.
Overall, this trip was unforgettable, and it was all thanks to this company.

Taj Mahal Sunrise Visit

Agra

A Must! Not only is the weather cool at sunrise, but there aren't so many people there. It allows for great pictures and lets you take your time to marvel at this phenomenal, gorgeous building.

Transport

Rajat at the office and Hemant as our tour guide have been incredible, as well as the rest of the team. Their dedication ensured that we had a smooth and comfortable trip from start to finish. It was also reassuring to see how quickly they went over and beyond by offering help and medical coordination when one of us fell sick for a day. We cannot recommend them enough, and are very thankful for having taken such good care of us.

Enroute Delhi to Agra, visit Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center

Agra

Amazing stop between Delhi and Agra, and absolutely great for kids to learn about elephants and how they are trained and treated in circuses and streets for entertainment or even “construction”. It was a highlight for our teenagers and made deep impressions

We visited Delhi, Agra, Shimla and Dharamshala in April/May of 2026. From the moment we landed, we were taken care of with handlers, guides and drivers every step of the way to ensure a smooth and memorable experience. Everyone was very kind and ensured that we felt comfortable as we transferred between several flights, trains and experiences. The Taj Mahal was of course a memorable experience. However, Shimla was fantastic. Our guide, Kavi, was extremely knowledgable about the history of the area. We stayed at the Cecil Oberoi, which was hands down the best hotel we stayed in with its views and historic charm. We also did a hike up the Triund Trek in Dharamshala and the guides surprised my wife with a homemade birthday cake at the top of the mountain. She was really touched by this experience, which was set up by our guide Sammi. We will carry a lifetime of memories from the trip and truly appreciate all of the help in making every step of the way comfortable.
