Real India Tours Reviews 23

A great way to visit India! The trip is really personalised to your own experience, so if you want to see something specific, add extra days or have a day to relax you can add it in. I knew I was going to enjoy India, but the tour took away the stress of being in a new country. Thank you Vishal, India definitely exceeded my expectations!

We were lucky enough to choose Vishal & his team for our 17 day Opulence tour in November 2025. It was brilliant in every way! We loved just having four of us, which meant we could make impromptu stops & changes to suit. Vishal selects stunning accommodation - we were blown away by elegance that we don’t see in NZ. The mix of cities and local villages was wonderful, and the local guides were so knowledgeable. We felt safe & well cared for by Vishal and our driver, Mr Nathu who always had a smile for us! They were proud to show us their country & we loved it all. Top notch, you won’t regret it!

Four of us did the 17 day Opulence tour of northern India in November 2025, and it was outstanding. Very well organised - from the moment we stepped off the plane in Delhi to the final delivery back to Delhi airport.
We loved the combination of the large cities (such as Agra, Jodhpur and Jaipur), alongside the village experiences of Ranvas, Narlai and Nagaur, among others. Vishal and his team of a driver and local guides, delivered a seamless itinerary - and packed it full of local insights and knowledge.
Vishal combines local Indian knowledge with a deep passion for the country and a desire to share that with his guests.
Highly recommend this company.

We had an incredible tour with Vishal and Mr Singh. We were looked after beautifully. We stayed at amazing hotels, palaces and forts. The local storytellers brought the history to life. We could not recommend Indiatours. NZ more

An amazing trip to India. Returned on 6th February 2025. Delhi, Rajasthan,Shimla and Punjabi. Exceeded our expectations, being able to see and enjoy some of those wonders, colourful everyday living and Majestic features under the wing of Vishal and his amazing driver Brij Pal, looking after us with the utmost care.
Loved the variety, from Palaces to Camel rides to humble rural abodes.
We have learnt so much about the history and Northern Indian Culture and lovely food.
I will have no hesitation in using India Tours NZ in the future. Highly recommended!

We have just returned from our first holiday in northern India and Mumbai.

Vishal and his team were very accommodating to our flexible itinerary.

We had a wonderful experience at the hands of experienced family oriented driver and our tour guide who took utmost care.

Travelling with a young adult family we had a safe road journey from Delhi to Rishikesh to Agra and amazing Jaipur.

During our stay our guide ,Udai ,was with us throughout the trip who made it an enjoyable and memorable experience of a diverse country.

Thank you Vishal and team for a wonderful farewell dinner and cultural night at the Farmstay.

My husband and I recently returned to New Zealand from a 16 day tour in the Golden Triangle of India over Xmas and New Year.
What a wonderful experience it was. We enjoyed the experience immensely.
Vishal organised a varied, educative and interesting trip that meet our needs very well.
We felt safe and cared for from the moment we arrived at the Delhi airport until we departed.
We were so pleased we decided to discover India as part of a tour as we learned a lot about the history and culture of India while eating delicious food and sleeping in comfort. We did not get sick or feel unsafe.
Thank you. We totally recommend India Tours New Zealand.

A Big Tick. We have just returned from a 16 day Northern Tour and 12 day Southern Tour with NZ India Tours. We had a fantastic trip and just wish we had more time to spend experiencing the vibrant, colourful, chaotic and friendly people of India. The traffic and driving are the most entertaining, no-one gets upset and the lack of rules lets it work so well. Parbat Ji was our driver and he was a delightful gentleman who took us to his village where we were met by the village elders and given a traditional welcome ceremony. Too many other highlights to mention but we are so happy we made this journey. Thank you Vishal. Thank you for your hospitality which we so appreciated. Your soft, kind and comfortable demeanor made us feel confident to get out of our comfort zone and experience real life in the land that you obviously love. We hope to come again to explore more.

I can't recommend India Tours NZ highly enough. I researched various companies and chose this one as it was NZ based and catered for small private groups. From the get go Vishal was so helpful and rearranged the itinerary to suit our small group of 4.
We travelled in a luxury van with Vishal and driver Nahtu. It was exceptionally clean with sustenance and water. Vishal was always on time or early and so knowledgeable.
Our accomodation was superb and dining out suggestions well received. We were taken to some very special sites we would not have seen otherwise. The guides Vishal organised at places were very good and spoke good English.
Vishal also helped with on going flights to other parts of India after our tour ended.
Thank you Vishal for making the trip so enjoyable and memorable.

Four of us spent 16 days with Vishal touring Rajasthan. The hotels we stayed in were fabulous couldn't fault them and all were a great refuge after busy days sightseeing. Very nice to have a beer and a swim !. Vishal showed us all the important sites. He was on time or before waiting with the van every morning. Nothing was too much trouble. Very smooth operation.

We have previously been independent travellers for decades but were less confident about going to India which we considered was a more challenging country to visit. Hence our decision to go with India Tours with another couple friends for a trip around Rajasthan. - The trip couldn't have been easier.

First- Vishal was an incredible host, flexible, knowledgeable, reliable and just made it so easy to travel. From the luxury van, great driver, always there when we needed it, water, biscuits, chips and nuts in case we needed sustenance on the way, to answering our questions on India throughout the trip.
Second the places we stayed -lovely hotels or palaces-not over the top- a joy just to spend some quiet time in them during the trip and relax by the pool-that was also an important part enjoying the India experience.
Third the local guides we had. While Vishal knew India he arranged guides in each area to ensure that we could gain a good understanding of the history of the location
Fourth the surprises along the way-visiting places and doing things we may never have considered or able to by ourselves.

In summary -A great way to travel - It was so and easy and enjoyable. In fact when we left to travel separately to Goa and Mumbai I had that -"I'm going to have to think" moment!!

Vishal-well done and thank you so much for showing us your country and being such a wonderful host. we very much enjoyed your company.

We have just completed a 14 day Northern India tour with KiwinTiger. We wanted to enjoy our trip without worrying about how to get there and what to do. Vishal ensured we had a seamless trip. Our driver Rakesh Sharma navigated the roads incredibly well and ensured we could sit back and relax while he got us comfortably to our destination. We chose the 5 star option and each accommodation choice was unique and fabulous. They included a Royal Hunting Lodge in Jaipur and New Years Eve with a Bollylicious gala event at a Royal Palace in Jodhpur. The food was great. We learnt so much about the history and culture. Highly recommend Vishal and KiwinTiger. We are already planning our Southern India trip in 2021 and will definitely be using KiwinTiger.

We travelled for three weeks with Kiwi n Tiger in Oct/Nov 2019. Wow, what an amazing holiday. We had two weeks in Rajasthan and one week Kerala. Kiwi n Tiger had an excellent itinerary with alot of variation between forts, palaces, markets and countryside small villages, elephants, leopards, non stop adventure! The food was fantastic, the beautiful heritage hotels were like an oasis to come back to and the aircon car a must! But the best part was the personalised, professional service Vishal gave us. His passion, fun and knowledge of India made this a trip of a lifetime. I thoroughly recommend Kiwi n tiger to take you to India.

My husband and I had the best holiday of our life time. We were looked after professionally every day and the quality of guides and drivers was excellent. Kiwintiger gives you a personal, caring, knowledgeable experience that we believe is the absolutely best in the market. Vishal organised outstanding guides and drivers who personalised our trip. We felt privileged to enjoy such care and attention .We enjoyed it so much we are organising another trip.

I have just returned from India touring with Kiwi n Tiger.
My three friends and i toured Rajasthan for 14 days starting in Delhi travelling to Jodhpur then returning by air to Delhi for our long flight home to NZ.
We were treated like Royalty the whole time we were there.
We saw the stunning Palaces down to the real people out in the country. Everyone had a smile and a wave.
This was one of the best trips i have experienced.
If you are thinking of a trip to India don’t forget KiwinTiger.
Vishal and his team were wonderful.

I have just returned from a holiday with Kiwintiger in India and have had the most wonderful experience. There was a group of four of us and we all were so well looked after from the time we got off the plane in Delhi until we returned 14 days later. They showed us the real India from the Forts to the markets and the food was amazing. We felt so safe and stayed well through out our whole tour. I would highly recommend Kiwi N Tiger if you are thinking of a tour of India.

I want to thank Kiwi n tiger team. Me and mum visited India 21st Jan to 4th Feb. Tourist visa was arranged within 24 hours. We were welcome with gift and garland. I was amazed with their service😊.
Great guides! Their kindness and their obligingness are exactly what one awaits from adventure guides. Me and mum felt safe and comfortable through out the journey. The tour was super, the selected sites and places were very beautiful. I explored New Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, udaipur and Amritsar. Hotels and restaurants were excellent! really appreciated the team Mr Vishal and Dilip. We were well looked after by them. I highly recommend Kiwi N tiger. their service are too good. They communicate really well. well organised. love the food and different culture. Shopping was fun. every thing was perfect. 16 days went really well with them. No time was wasted. looking forward for another trip soon.

We have no hesitation in highly recommending KiwiNTiger. Our tour of Rajasthan October/November 2018 was an experience second to none. Vishal had done an excellent job is research and setting up an excellent itinerary, accommodation and local guides. The luxury van with air conditioning, wifi and refreshments en route was ideal for our group of seven. The driver was very safe and competent and always would be there to pick us up after visits to various venue and attractions. Certainly travelling in a small group has huge advantages over large ones. We could go to many more places, keep in touch and enjoy each others company. We look forward to using KiwiNTiger again in another part of exciting India.

Wow what an amazing trip, the best trip I’ve had so far, and I do travel lots every year, this was so good, I am looking at booking another one with Vishal and his team in a few years, to take another friend. Loved everything about this trip, Vishal and his staff really do look after you, from start to finish. From transport, to the hotels, sightseeing & food, we were definitely well looked after. It was worth every penny we paid for this trip. So if your thinking of going to India, I would highly recommend this company Kiwi n Tiger, trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Vishal I will see you in a few years for my next India trip. And thanks again Vishal for the best trip of my life.

i booked last year with Kiwi n Tiger last year,I was looking forward going somewhere I had never been before.
Wow what an experience it was amazing to the colours and sights I had an absolute fantastic time from seeing all the diverse parts to Old Delhi where we had a very knowledgeable guide, then to Agra ,Jaipur,Jodhpur, Narlai and Udaipur
In all the places we went to we had Vishal as our tour Guide and he used the expertise of local guides
It was the most fun I have had in a long time,everything was carefully organized the care that Vishel and the boys that looked after the driving and our comfort gave was exceptional i would highly recommend Kiwi N Tiger
