Cox & Kings Anmeldelser 

This was our first trip to India and we are so glad we chose such a highly recommended travel company. The itinerary was excellent and our tour manager, Prem Sharma, was outstanding . His professionalism, knowledge, good humour and patience were exemplary.
Prem also gave us the opportunity to fully participate in Holi celebrations in Jaipur city, and this was a truly memorable experience. He really was amazing!
All transfers went smoothly, hotels and catering were excellent, and the tours were fascinating.
Our add on to Kerala was also very well organised and each Cox & Kings representative and driver was extremely helpful.
We are looking forward to another trip to this wonderful country.

We had a truly immersive experience during our trip to the golden triangle and Shimla. Our excellent tour manager, Prem, guided us throughout so we felt we understood more about India. It was a busy schedule but each stage was well
managed to enable us to make the most of the experience. Being in a small group meant the holiday felt more personal and we appreciated Prem going above and beyond by enabling us to participate in the Holi festival.

Recently returned from a 17night trip of Vietnam and Cambodia, which was intense but most exhilarating.
The organisation from initial booking to final return could not be faulted. Our tour manager/guide Minh was excellent throughout offering as little or as much information as you required. He kept us informed by WA as was so well organised. The hotels, transport, tour content, food and group size were all very good.
From the tour we came away with an excellent overview, together with a lot of memories from the countries and fellow guests. We were extremely fortunate to have a group (17) who all got along and we had some laughs.
This was our second trip with C&K and for this type of trip they will remain our company of choice.
Thanks to Sam King in the UK and Minh on the tour.

India - Golden Triangle & Shimla tour. Our first Cox&Kings experience was a brilliant introduction to India. The logistics were perfect and the tour manager/guide Prem was excellent. The tour started and finished at The Imperial hotel in Delhi and the group was a good size at 15 people. Prem changed the scheduled programme in Jaipur to give us an exceptional experience of the Holi festival right in the middle of the city. Many wonderful memories created with a group of like minded travellers. Maybe a day less in Shimla and a day more in Delhi might have been an idea?

We were due to fly from Cochi via Dubai back to London on the 2nd March at the end of a two week tour of southern India. On the 28th February Gulf Airspace was closed as the Iranian war started, this started a chain of events that saw many tourists stranded for days on end. However Cox and King reacted incredibly quickly and rebooked my wife and I onto an air india direct flight on 4th February whilst there were still seats available. Add in an excellent organisation of hotels, transfers and even support at the airports and we feel we were incredibly lucky to have booked with Cox and king with their rapid proactive support to get us home.

My 4th C&K tour and still pleased. We done the Passage to Kerala with our guide Shyam. Great guide and well organised. Some really good hotels and service, special thanks to the Gateway Coonor hotel for arranging a visit to the dentist for me. Two upsets! the Nagarhole tiger park was shut and a poor alternative was arranged even though it's been shut for some time. And the visit to a planters house for tea and plantation walk is a demonstration and shop and a big disappointment.
But still a good tour.

A brilliantly put-together tour. It is very difficult to capture the contrasts of all the different parts of Chile in one trip but this did the job excellently. It is clear that over the years C&K have worked out what works best for people who are not hikers through decades of experience.

In particular, Our guide (Alex Sandoval) was calm, patient, understanding and thoughtful. Without his careful planning, many things could have spoilt our experience...but they didn't.

Overall - a stunning way to explore Chile.

We have just returned from an incredible tour of the Golden Triangle, Shimla plus an extension to Amritsar.
The tour was busy with site visits and wonderful experiences, and for us it was a perfect introductory tour of India.
The tour guide, Prem Sharma, was excellent. Prem has an in depth knowledge of all sites visited and he was able to covey his enthusiasm and love of India to the group. He also went out of his way to introduce the ‘bird life of Northern India’ which was very much appreciated by my husband.
Prem, thank you so much.

Just returned from the Golden Triangle with Shimla tour. Our guide, Prem, was amazing, so knowledgeable and helpful.
Most tips were taken care of or organised by Prem. Hotels were all
of a good standard but The Imperial in Delhi stood apart. Extra days in Delhi would be recommended.

I’ve just returned from an amazing tour of The Golden Triangle and Shimla with an Amritsar extension. The itinerary was very busy and packed full with exciting experiences. Our tour guide, Prem, was brilliant. He is very knowledgeable of all sites we visited and also the wildlife of the area. He is also caring and very well organised. Thank you so much Prem.
We would definitely travel with Cox & Kings again.

A wonderful guided tour of Golden Triangle & Shimla. All beautifully organised and arranged. We were 18 in the group which was good but I wouldn’t have wanted any more. I was concerned that Cox & Kings made adjustments to itinerary between booking and arrival without communicating this . Our tour guide Prem was excellent. Caring , knowledgeable and efficient. I felt that 3 nights in Shimla was too much . The excursions could have been combined into 1.5 days and that would have allowed us an extra day in Delhi which felt very rushed. The Imperial was by far the best hotel. The hotel in Shimla lacked outdoor space . The hotel in Agra was very average . The hotel in Jaipur was very historical in a beautiful setting but rooms needed modernising and food was average. Overall considering what was included , I thought the tour represented good value for money. I liked how much of the tipping etc was taken care of.

I’ve just returned from an amazing tour of Rajasthan, India. The itinerary was packed with highlights and every minute was filled with great experiences. Our tour guide was very professional. His knowledge of all sites visited was exceptional and he thought of everything to make our tour run smoothly. He made sure we had a trip of a lifetime. Thanks you so much Karan. Would definitely travel with Cox & Kings again.

We have just returned from an incredible experience on the above tour. The tour was very well organised and the sights and choice of venues were excellent. Notably the tour guide Prem was brilliant. He paced each site visit superbly well and his knowledge of the forts palaces and temples visited and the country in general was very informative. He was also very alert at all times to ensure our group was safe, particularly in busy pedestrian areas and around traffic. The chosen hotels were varied and all good quality, although one or two of the heritage hotels although beautiful buildings were perhaps showing signs of age, but nevertheless still a far better experience than perhaps more modern faceless ones. For anyone considering this specific tour, an extension at the end to explore more of Delhi is worth considering. I thoroughly recommend this tour, and who knows with a bit of luck you may get Prem to show you around.

I have returned recently from The Rajestan tour which was wonderful. Made all the better by our courteous friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide Prem Sharma. He managed to break up journeys by drawing our attention to many differing sights along the road which added incrementally to the experience. He was ably assisted by Ranjit the driver who despite the hazardous nature of the roads gave us a smooth and comfortable ride. They in turn were assisted by Ranjit who cared for the bus keeping it clean and well supplied with water.
I loved the organisation of the route and the variety of hotels, though the Jaipur hotel was a disappointment. I could have done with time to shop in the some of the many bazaars that we passed.

PASSAGE THROUGH RAJASTHAN
Our first trip to India was memorable: two weeks of varied and fascinating experiences, with our guide Prem sharing his wide knowledge of locations, history, culture and politics. He was always impeccably turned out, and we appreciated his gentle humour.
The coach was comfortable, and driver dealt exceptionally well with the traffic conditions - which could charitably be described as challenging.
The hotels were all either efficient, or characterful, or both - apart from the one in Jaipur, where both plumbing and electricity were unreliable.
Substituting extra time in Jodhpur, Jaipur or Delhi would arguably been a better option than the long journey to Bikaner, but in general the itinerary was excellent.
We'd thoroughly recommend this as an introduction to India.

Had a truly wonderful time on this very well-organised holiday. A complete mixture of experiences from palaces to street markets to tiger safari, ending with Agra and the brilliant Taj Mahal which didn’t disappoint. Hotels and food were excellent. The comfort, consistency and safety of the Cox and Kings (UK) quality was evident throughout, from the coach, its driver and assistant and very smooth administration at every single hotel and all the sights. You can fully enjoy all the tour without having to worry about the logistics. Our guide Prem was outstanding - highly knowledgeable, good fun, kept us moving along without feeling pressured, always there for us - thank you Prem for making my 40 year dream to see India come true!

This was our first visit to India We had a 15 day tour to Rajasthan visiting the most stunning forts and temples . Our guide was absolutely superb. He was knowledgeable , extremely caring and enthusiastic throughout. We stayed at some magnificent heritage hotels which exceeded all expectations and we also spent time visiting a game reserve where we saw bengal tigers. This certainly won’t be our last visit to India

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip. Fortunately shared by a great group. Met my ambition to see a Bengal Tiger on a Ranthambore safari. Only one hotel disappointing due to lack of hot water. Otherwise perfectly organised.

We have just returned from a tour of Rajasthan which was an unforgettable experience, thanks largely to our exceptional guide, Prem Sharma. His deep knowledge of the region’s history and culture brought every site to life. He shared fascinating stories and insights of local life along the way, and was always attentive to everyone’s comfort and needs. His calm presence, infectious enthusiasm and wonderful sense of humour made each day extremely enjoyable. Truly one of the best guides we’ve ever had. Also worth noting that our bus driver and bus helper were wonderful. Even in the chaos of Indian traffic and some challenging roads, we felt safe and comfortable at all times. Fortunately, we also had a really lovely group of people on the trip and there was a relaxed and inclusive atmosphere as we travelled together. A great trip we would recommend unreservedly.

Passage through Rajastan: Very well organised tour. Very nice hotels. Our guide Prem was the most helpful and friendly guide we could have wished for. He made everything run so very smoothly. We also loved his smart appearance and attention to detail and especially his humour.
For the organisers of the tour: an extra day to explore Jaipur would have been very welcome.
