Great experience

I did tour with Joyful Holidays for 10 days. I got in touch with Sonia and originally was going to do the tour solo (female) but had stated I would like to have someone else to do the tour with if possible. Sonia then linked me in with another female of similar age. She was wanting to do similar tour. I spoke with the other female before going on tour and we agreed we would like to do it together. We had a driver Raj who could not have been more helpful who supported us along the way and ensured out safety. He also ensured we ate at good restaurants along the way that were clean. We had tour guides along the way. Tour was completely catered to what we wanted to do. Sonia also checked in along the way regarding how the tour was. Overall a great experience. We covered a lot of cities and could not have done it without Joyful Holidays 😊

Rajasthan tour for two

After deciding to book a tour with Joyfull holidays, Sonia matcht me with another female solo traveler, so that the trip would be more enjoyable and also more affordable for me. A really nice service and we enjoyed a lovely trip together.
Sonia did everything she could to accommodate us perfectly.
Our driver was the sweetest (thank you Raj!) and took good care of us.
Thank you so much Sonia!

Unforgettable India

India is an amazing country, luckily Sonia Handa made it more amazing. Any questions or help I needed she was always ready to assist.
My driver was a great professional and I had a great time spending my week with Ajay.
Delhi is an unforgettable city. I will never forget the sights, sounds and smells of the old town. Agra is a must see for any visitor in India and I was happy to have Raj show me around.
Loved the natural surroundings of Ranthambore, quiet, peaceful and beautiful.
Jaipur is a magical city. Any traveler to India will love the architecture and food there. The monkey temple is a must see. Satis was a wonderful guide.
In short, India was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended that anyone going use Sonia Handa and her team to help.

Golden triangle tour was nothing short…

Golden triangle tour was nothing short of amazing!!! From the minute we stepped of the plane Vivek (tour guide specialist) and Gulab (our amazing driver) welcomed us with smiles and traditional flowers!

From each city (New Delhi, Jaipur, Agra) our tour guide was informative about each city and knew places to take us when we needed anything.

The Joyful Holidays team was attentive and amazing! This was an amazing birthday trip and they surprised me with the most amazing cake and songs! Grateful to them for making me feel so special.

Sonia and Vivek are the best! If you’re traveling to India and doing a tour please book them! You will be in the best company, knowledgeable tour guides, and have an amazing experience. Thank you Joyful Holidays for an amazing experience in India. I will give a million stars!

Life Changing!

Vivek and his wife Sonia are the best in the business, I will definitely be back and everyone should feel safe and welcomed in India under their care! India is a place that makes you feel welcomed and at home and they capture the essence of that through their tours.

11-day tour with Joyful Holidays

We did an 11-day tour around Rajasthan and it was amazing. The whole trip was very well planned and organised, plus, Sonia, the organiser of the tour, was constantly ensuring everything went well. We saw some great monuments, temples and forts. The best thing about the trip was the safari in Ranthambore where we even managed to see some tigers. We travelled in a nice car, with a nice driver, with cold water and wifi. I would totally recommend this trip to anyone planning to visit the north of India!!

Our tour guide was great

Our tour guide was great. He knew everywhere we went. He was happy to answer any questions we had and suggested taking a picture of us in the best possible place. His English was great. He made us feel very comfortable and has guided us all the time. We loved seeing much of Delhi in just one day. Great tour!

Joyful holidays is an excellent company. I and my husband booked the Golden Triangle Tour with them. Sonia was in touch with us via WhatsApp.

She always made sure that we had a clean car with seat belts that worked. The tour guides were really knowledgeable. It was an amazing experience in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. Thank you Sonia and Joyful Holidays.

Unforgettable India Tour

Me and my coworker booked this tour after looking at many other options, and we are so glad we found Sonia and her team. This tour and the service Sonia provided to us was incomparable and beyond expectation. The drivers and tour guides she picked out for us were amazing and we definitely created a bond with them. I can’t express enough how smooth this 6 day tour went and how flexible Sonia was with our preferences and how quickly she was able to accommodate for us. Sonia would check in on us, along with our tour guides, to make sure we were comfortable at all times.

In short - if you’re looking a tour guide look no further. Sonia and her team is exactly what you want!!

Perfect Tour of Northern India

Sonia is the perfect person to put together your tour of India. From the very first communion she answered all of our questions. Upon arrival she made sure everything was perfect. Not once did we feel left on our own. The drivers and guides she picked out made the experience. We got to see so much in such a short period, but not once did anything feel rushed. If anyone I know plans on visiting India, I am definitely recommending Sonia and Joyful Holidays.

I booked my Golden Triangle Tour…

I booked my Golden Triangle Tour (Delhi-Agra-Jaipur) with Joyful Holidays; Right from the pick up from the airport till the drop back to the Airport, it was pretty comfortable and there was no rush moment as the tour package prepared by Mrs Sonia was excellent. Cab provided was very cozy, driver Mr. Singh was a great person, he obliged to all our request for back and forth. Hotels booked were excellent. We had opted for 4*; there was a no problem at all. Mrs Sonia was connected with us all the time and was just a call or Massage away. Overall a pleasant experience with Joyful Holiday. I have no hesitation to recommend Joyful Holidays. I have tip for travelers here: Book your entry tickets for the monuments from ASI websites or ask Sonia she will do it for you without any problem to avoid long queues, We really enjoyed our trip.

We as a gang of friends did fantastic trip to Golden Triangle Tour (Agra, Jaipur and Delhi.) I arranged everything through email with Sonia Joyful Holidays and every question was answered every change requested was seen to extremely promptly before we left for India. We had the same driver who would bring us to the 3 cities where we would be met by local guides.

We were met at the Airport by our fabulous driver Mr Singh. All the way through our trip he was so helpful and looked after us so well. He was an excellent driver and we felt completely safe driving through the hectic streets with him really couldn't recommend him highly enough.

All the guides took loads of time to explain to us many interesting facts and took great photos for us. They were extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited.

It was an amazing trip and everything went smoothly thanks to Sonia and her team for all the attention and details.
