“Another great experience with Trinetrahighly recommend”
Our experience with Trinetra was great! They’re reliable, accommodating and hospitable. We made last minute plans for India and emailed Trinetra three days before we were set to arriveright before their weekend, in factand despite this, they got back to us within twenty four hours with a full proposed itinerary. We wanted to enjoy India without feeling overwhelmed and stressed, and decided we weren’t ready for the adventure of traveling the Golden Triangle on our own :) Our trip to India was enjoyable largely because of the service provided by Trinetra.We spent 10 days between Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. We loved that Vijay checked in with us every morning to ensure everything was going well. I can’t stress enough how helpful this was. We liked our guides in all the cities, and loved Sanjay in Agra. Our driver Deepak was wonderful. He drove us around the whole time we were there and we always felt comfortable and safe, inside and outside the vehicle. We felt the pride he takes in his work, and were grateful for it (particularly on those crazy roads! :)Pros: Trinetra. Affordable and committed and to high-quality service (win-win!). -The food. We were taken to the tourist places, which was disappointing until getting a nasty 24-hr bug from a tea stand at the side of the road. We came to appreciate eating in good (delicious) clean places, even if they were touristy. Our driver Deepak. So wonderful.Sanjay our tour guide in Agra. He was outstanding in his knowledge of Indian history and instead of reciting it to us, he told us stories of each site (he’s a great story-teller). He went above and beyond to give us a positive experienceshooing away boys with cameras, suggesting (and taking) great pictures, and taking us to the Moonlight Garden for a fantastic, unobscured view of the Taj. We loved our two days with him. He was fantastic.Our itinerary (with one caveat below).Cons: Our itinerary was great, with one exception: we wished we had more free time, especially to explore Jaipur. We really loved the shops and wanted more time there and in Old Delhi. (I’m sure they would have accommodated this request if we had made it, and we suggest you spend a few hours shopping in Jaipur. We only had 2 hours and could have easily spent two more.)Actually, this was really our only qualm with the company. Trinetra is sincerely dedicated to providing good service. It was evident in every aspect of our tour. We were invited to dinner with Mr Mahendra and his family on our last night in Delhi (it was such a lovely dinner. Thank you, Trinetra!) and learned that though the company is small and eager to grow, they are careful that their expansion doesn’t result in loss of quality. This was clear to us and we appreciated 1 the great service (a bad tour company can really spoil a trip) and 2 their responsiveness. They took our feedback at every city, and each morning with Vijay’s phone call we had the chance to ask questions and make requests (and of course we could contact them anytime). In an unfamiliar place, it’s comforting to know that help is just a phone call away. Happily, Trinetra took such good care of us we never had to make that phone call. My parents recommended Trinetra to us, and we will continue to pass on the recommendation to others. They’re a great company.
