Great value

Great value, I would have liked a more intimate safari experience, probably with the outfit that did our optional boat trip.

Our 1st trip to India

The India trip exceeded all expectations. The accommodations were definitely five stars. We had the same driver for the whole eight days, so we felt comfortable and secure the entire time. Local guides were knowledgeable flexible and entertaining. The cost to upgrade the accommodations and have private rooms was extremely reasonable and definitely worthwhile. We also selected to have private tour which allowed us more flexibility during our trip. We did get tired of the India cuisine and would have liked a little more variety.

We are grateful to Cox&Kings, and to our guide, Pradeep Jain, for one of the best vacations we have ever had.

Everyone on the Nile cruise ship got sick, even our tour guide. The chef passed out one evening. I got so sick I felt like I wanted to die. I am on 2 antibiotics and anti diarrhea medicine. I have had diarrhea for 2 weeks. I can't eat. I lost over 12 pounds. This was not due to the weather. This was a bacteria on the ship.

They offer a great variety of product

They offer a great variety of product, going to places that many other tour companies do not. I do find them to take a little longer to get you their pricing but have found their pricing to almost always be less than other companies that offer customized tours. I would always check with them as a very strong possibility. All the clients I have booked with C&K have been very pleased. You just have to stay on them to get your pricing.

Trip to India Spring 2018

We recently travelled extensively to Europe and to India. C/K handled our India portion of the trip, which had the main purpose of conducting an Ashti ceremony for my recently deceased mother. We chose to conduct the ceremony of placing her ashes into the Ganges in Rishikesh.
C/K was extremely reliable from the moment we landed in New Delhi; they met us promptly at the airport, reviewed all stops on the itinerary, delivered required vouchers for prearranged hotels, delivered excellent drivers and good vehicles. We had our 94 yo father with us, and they accomodated his needs very well. When I ran into problems, their representatives in New Delhi were responsive and corrected the situation in a timely manner. Their representative in the US was excellent and also followed up on all issues.
I would recommend them highly and without reservation. Be very clear about your needs and do not hesitate to be in contact with their representatives. They will meet your expectations.

Our actual time in India 🇮🇳 was wonderful. We didn’t realize when we signed up that our tour group consisted of only the three of us ( my 15 yr old daughter, my 17 yr old nephew and myself). The itenerary was good, hotels were comfortable and clean with pools and we had the best driver, Mr. Rawat. Mr. Rawat was great with the kids and just a very kind person who made sure we were safe. The big downside to the trip was flying China Eastern. Long day of travel, they misplaced our luggage and when we got it finally, it was badly damage. On the way home the flight from Delhi was 1.5 hours late so we missed connections, waited an extra 9 hours in Shanghai ( where they rudely kept us in a waiting room for three hours) and had to buy new tickets from LA to Seattle. Also our seats weren’t together. However, I would recommend to anyone thinking about going to India to go. And if you can hire Mr. Rawat your trip will be the better for it.

Golden Triangle and Ranthambore

Wonderful itinerary. Hotels were all first rate . Guides were expert , friendly, and generally flexible. Some glitches occurred regarding stated itinerary versus what local contacts offered due to layers of people and communication issues. Cox and King's Seema Prakash was outstanding in her assistance in organizing our trip, answering our many questions, and obtaining Visas.

Guide was not very friendly or helpful. I asked for a no smoking room and he would not change it when I told him it was a smoking floor. I was able to have the hotel take care of moving my room. The other members of the tour were friendly so we had a good time.

Really took care of us every step of the way, which was comforting in India where at times it seemed chaos ruled. Even covered a room snafu by one of the hotels...no problem for us. Only two complaints. One, our last guide could have been better. Two, the Vodaphone sim card C&K arranged only worked for the first half of the trip.

Very well planned by Cox & Kings

Very well planned by Cox & Kings; good itinerary, good hotels. LOUSY guides. We paid extra for a private guide in every city; they all ran 40 meters ahead of us even though we were their ONLY guests; when I complaied, they continued to do it IN EVERY CITY. In Delhi, I skipped the Jasmid Majid as I couldnt climb steps and the guide said, thats, it....go to hotel (to car driver). On the way I wanted to stop at a street vender, and the guide said, "no time, tour finished." Best guide was in Amritsar. Drivers were good.

Seeing India and Nepal!

Seeing India and Nepal was a marvelous experience for us. We give Cox and Kings much credit for the success of our trip. The guides, drivers, accommodations, food and tours were all excellent. Our eyes were opened to these magnificent countries and their people. We never had to worry about anything because our needs were already thoughtfully taken care of. I would heartily recommend Cox and Kings to anyone considering travel to this part of the world.
