"Hi Max, I am back to Sydney now. We had a great time in India on Group tour to Golden Triangle. We have made a lot of memories, thank you so much for arranging such an amazing trip. I and my daughter along with other fellow-member of the group had a great time. We sing and dance in the bus on our way to Jaipur. The guide organised few games for all of us, with help of which the time to reach from one destination to other passed so fast. Thanx to the great team of Max Holidays!! Group Tours are great!!"

All the sightseeing places were wonderful, bus driver was excellent. The tour escort took care of all of us very well; the food in Jaipur was perfect for the taste. Local reps in Agra were excellent and gave clear, easy explanations, and English easy to understand. We had enough time for our own activities as well. I loved the food in Jaipur, in Agra Sheroz Cafe had a great concept. These were the few unforgettable moments. I loved the street shopping in India. Thanks to Max Holidays for organising such small amazing trips that are suitable in budget as well with good standard Hotel.

I will rate the overall tour A. However, Max Tours Rep Amit and Ashish were quite excellent. They were good ambassadors for India as a country and as a representative of your CO. Max Tours. Some of the transport arguments were a bit too tiring and difficult. Sometimes the buses parked too tiring and difficult, sometimes the water in the bus lacking, money exchange was poor and shopping and some site visits were quite poor. Thanks to Mr. Gogia, Amit, Ashish and group female representative. May God Bless You and I hope to see you again sometime in the future.

Overall we were very pleased with our trip; however a couple of problems that was also sorted by the Max Team, at the earliest. First of all i would like to convey the feeling of satisfaction of all the group members if we consider services. The complete program designed by you made our trio very rich in information and so enjoyable. The guides were helpful and flexible; tour was full of so many optional visits at some of the destinations and kind of very interesting ones. The hotels quality was as expected upto the mark. I would like to thank the entire max team for their effort and wish to see you soon. I’m sure i will be coming again to India to discover more of India.

I am a solo traveller, but this time I preferred travelling in a group, so I was searching the best group tour organiser. While, surfing on internet I came across Max Holidays group fixed departures, I could find everything which I wanted in a tour program within budget. With their tour programmes I could travel in group as well as have an experience as a solo traveller due to so many optional tours. The services provided were upto the mark. Thanx to the entire team of Max for providing such flawless tours.
