MEIN FAHRER TEAM - IHRE MEINUNG

Those who want to travel the country from the elevated perspective of a coach with 20 people speaking the same language as you, will not get much out of travelling with a driver and a car.

Those who want to directly experience the country, its people, its animals, its aromas and its road side eateries, should consider this mode of travelling.

Via email we began our travel preparations with Ashok’s Taxi Tour in Germany, and all our queries were answered promptly.

Even though our flight was delayed by 10 hours, a driver welcomed us at Indira Gandhi International Airport with a personalised name board. The driver called up Mr. Ashok on the spot to confirm our arrival and we also had a chance to speak to Mr. Ashok on the phone.

Our first hotel in Delhi, Hotel Le Roi, selected by Mr. Ashok – although it was located, as it initially appeared to us novices, in a rather unsafe-looking neighbourhood – turned out to be a delightful choice. The value you get for your money was amazing.

Also Mr. Ashok confirmed that someone would be available 24 hours a day, should we have any questions or complaints.

And then our long journey through Rajasthan (17 days) began through the country with our driver Mr. Gurmeet Singh. For us it still isn’t comprehensible how he managed to never lose his temper in all the traffic, with people and animals jam-packing the roads. If we required anything, like freshly squeezed orange juice, sweets, food, toilets, he would say “why not, why not?” and fulfil our wishes instantly.

It was “no problem” when we spontaneously changed our minds and wanted to see another monument, or skip a monument. Often times he showed us further sights, which weren’t listed in our guide book. He also knew beforehand that the Taj Mahal would close at around 11am, due to a VIP visiting.

Our worries to not make it in time were instantly eased: “we will definitely arrive in time” – and he was always right! His hotel suggestions were all in our budget, yet we had ultimate freedom in deciding whether or not we wanted to stay in this hotel. He took great care of the cleanliness of his car and of himself.

On the way back to the airport Mr. Ashok called us up and wished us farewell.

Therefore, “everything is alright” and we wish Mr. Ashok and his crew of drivers all the best.

Ashok ist ein sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter und guter Fahrer. Unser Tagesausflug nach Agra war toll! Er gab gute Tipps, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Sein Auto war in gutem Zustand, sauber und bequem!

Auch die Absprachen im Vorfeld klappten problemlos, sowohl über Email als auch telefonisch. Sein Englisch ist gut.

Wir würden jederzeit wieder mit ihm fahren.

We made a 4-day tour to Agra, Jaipur and Delhi.

Our driver Rishi was an excellent companion, driving very safe, always arrived on time, spoke good English and most of all had great tipps for sightseeing and getting to know Indian culture a bit better.

It was a great pleasure to do the trip with him and we can fully recommend Ashok`s taxiservice.

Thank you very much!

My party of four conducted a 16 day tour in January with Ashok's Tours. This was the first visit to India for all of us. Looking back, it probably could not have turned out better and many thanks to Ashok's Tours indeed.

We visited the following locations: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Pushkar, Udaipur, Jodphur, Jaisalmer, and Bikaner. We opted for the Toyota Innova mini-van which accommodated the four of us and our luggage nicely.

On our first day in Delhi, Mr. Ashok greeted us personally and took us on a walking tour of Old Delhi. Before handing us over to our driver, he gave us his card and instructed us to call him any time 24/7 should we encountered any problems on our trip (we did not have to).

Our driver, Promode, was outstanding. Friendly, helpful, experienced, and probably the most skillful driver I've ever known. Our hotel stays were arranged on the fly, and the selections he made were usually spot on. There were a few occasions where we passed on the first one, but he always found us a hotel we liked and promptly. There were several days where we drove five or more hours.

Promode was a fine travel companion, and the stops we made for food and for tea were all part of the fun. Ashok's Tours is an experienced and well run operation. It offers considerable value and I recommend it highly!

Thanks both to Ashok and Promode for a great trip!
