Indian Review

Although it feels a bit pricey…

Each sightseeing point has VIP treatment without waiting time and no queue.
The contents of the trip can be changed as appropriate within a reasonable range at the site. As for meals, if you tell them what you want, they will make do with the guide's budget given to you by the travel agency.

There is no sense of compulsion, but if you say that you want ◯◯, you will be taken to a suitable specialty store. It's an expensive purchase because all of them are reasonably priced, but as a result, it's not a fake, it's a genuine product with a price tag from the beginning, so there is some discount negotiation by the guide, and it's within the scope of your own business.

The trouble on the first day of the trip (no pick-up at the arrival airport) was also dealt with by Oooh's message function, even though it was outside business hours in Japan time. In addition, when I conveyed incomprehensible complaints during the itinerary with Oooh's message function, it was immediately improved, which is commendable.

Overall, the negative aspects of this trip are not much, but I think the cost of the trip should be described in more detail in advance.
In my case (my feeling): In the advance itinerary, it was stated that there was no cost locally (there was a description of the guide and driver's tips), but in fact, drinks at mealtimes were charged separately, and of course the tip for payment was also separate, and the tip for the number of people who responded at the time of hotel check-in and out (well, this is not stupid), and everywhere I went A tip that is different from the fee related to the service used in, in short, a tip tip attached to something ... Maybe it's because I'm not used to tipping, but the tip I felt I paid the most on this trip was the tip. The guide will let you know the fair price each time, so you don't have to pay too much.

Well, in general, the service and the speed of the local service that I could not have obtained without using this place were a lot of things that I felt when I saw the people who were using other companies' tours locally, so I can't say that I was satisfied with everything, but I was generally satisfied and I thought it would be good to use it again.

It's safe even for solo female travelers.

When I told people I was traveling to India alone as a woman, they were very worried, haha.
Having a guide with me all the time made me feel secure.
There were no safety issues, but if you're concerned about facilities, upgrading your hotel might be a good idea. I found a three-star hotel to be sufficient for this trip, but if you want to relax more at the hotel, a four-star option might be better.
The sunrise over the Ganges River was the most moving part of the sightseeing!
The desert in Jaisalmer was also wonderful. The jeep and camel rides were thrilling.

Recommended for working adults who want to enjoy a solo trip to India with a flexible itinerary

I used the service for a solo trip to India.
The biggest advantage is that you can design your itinerary freely and visit the places you want by submitting requests in advance.
Solo trips with local guides or tours usually cost twice as much, but this service seemed more affordable. During my trip, it coincided with the Kumbh Mela period, and there was a tragic accident at Delhi Station the day before, where dozens of people lost their lives. This caused our train to be delayed for over 12 hours for two consecutive days, and there were sudden changes in destinations. If this had been a typical solo trip, it would have been very difficult to cover everything within the planned period.
Even on-site, the guide was flexible in accommodating requests like taking photos. If I wanted to shop, the guide would take me to suitable places (not pushy at all, with market prices and room for negotiation). The only time I felt something was overpriced or pushy was shopping at the duty-free shops in New Delhi International Airport.

Traveling to a country where you know no one can still be safe.

With full assistance, I was able to travel with peace of mind even without understanding the language, and I experienced an efficient trip that wouldn’t have been possible with a package tour.

I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind!

I was never left alone and felt reassured by having someone accompany me!
The plan was tailored to each individual, and they also accommodated requests on the day.
It was my first time in India, but I didn’t have any stomach issues and was able to enjoy my time safely. Thank you 😊

Hotel and train arrangements

The hotel near the airport was chosen for me, and I also stayed at other hotels in India. The showers were not fixed, making them easy to use, and all the breakfasts were delicious.
The train experience in India also became a great memory.

Food and hotel improvements

13-day tour of Northern India

The tour was packed with the charms of Northern India, and both the guide and the driver were experienced, making the sightseeing very efficient. Thank you.

The hotels were supposed to be 4-star, but apart from the one in Jaisalmer, they were far from that level. The hotel in Jodhpur had a club on the top floor, and we were disturbed by loud noise until midnight. Improvements in hotel selection are needed.

All meals were pre-arranged, but the menu was almost the same every time, which became monotonous. Where possible, we switched to à la carte menus. I felt that menus incorporating more local specialties and flexibility with à la carte options were necessary.

Despite the poor road conditions, the time allocation was well thought out to ensure smooth sightseeing. I am grateful for being able to comfortably enjoy the magnificent architecture and culture.

It was great because it was highly customizable.

In addition to the personalized plan you proposed, you also accommodated my requests during the actual trip, such as wanting to eat or buy certain things, making it a very satisfying trip! I would definitely like to ask for your help again when I travel somewhere in the future.

wonderful

India, a place I had wanted to visit for years but never could.
I was hesitant to travel around India on my own, but I also didn't want to visit unnecessary places. While searching for a way to explore India safely and in our own style, I came across Oooh.
Even though it was a very selfish plan, you managed to organize it well, and I was able to stay at a wonderful hotel. At one point, I became anxious and made an inquiry, but at that time, Mr. Okura (Oooh Concierge) kindly explained everything and eased my worries. I am truly grateful.
The guide and the driver were also delightful people. Both of them were very kind.
The next time I visit India, I would like to travel around with them again.
I still can't forget how delicious the chai I drank at midnight was. ♥️
I would definitely like to request your services again next time.
Thank you very much.

Schedule: 4 nights, 5 days
Places visited: Jaipur, Agra, Delhi

    In 1992, I started guiding Japan tourists in India, and in 1995 I had the opportunity to visit Japan for the first time. At that time, I was deeply impressed by Japan and its people, and I strongly felt that I wanted to deepen my connection with this country. With this in mind, we established a tourism company in April 2001. I have 29 years of experience in the tourism industry, 24 of which have been in-house. We offer a wide range of tourism-related services, including hotel reservations, transportation arrangements, tourist information, train and air ticket arrangements, as well as bespoke itineraries and personalised services. In order to provide the highest standard of service, we regularly visit hotels and restaurants and provide training specific to Japan for our guides and drivers. Our goal is to help you fall in love with India as much as I do. We are committed to understanding the diverse needs of our customers and creating a travel experience tailored to their needs. If you need any help with your trip to India, please feel free to contact us!

Cash, cards and currency exchange
In India, many shops do not have change for large bills, so make sure to carry plenty of small bills.
Currency exchange is available at banks, airports, city exchange offices, and mid-range (4-star) or higher hotels.
In major cities like Delhi and Mumbai, Japanese yen can be exchanged, but in rural or smaller cities, it might not be possible or the rates may be poor, so it's better to carry US dollars.
Tips
Hotel (for carrying luggage or ordering room service): Rs30 at mid-range hotels, Rs40-50 at luxury hotels
Restaurant: If service charge is included, tipping is not necessary, but if not, tip around 7-10%. At local restaurants, leaving small change as a tip is sufficient.
Public Safety
While not particularly dangerous, be cautious of pickpockets and snatchers in crowded areas like airports and stations.
There are many beggars, so try not to engage with them.
Clothing
In temples, women should avoid sleeveless tops and men should avoid shorts.
Things You Should Bring
・Gastrointestinal medicine, cold medicine, etc.
Visa availability and arrangements
・Visa is required.
Obtain an E Visa between 120 days and 4 days before departure.
It is possible to obtain a visa at the embassy, but the process is complicated, so an E Visa is recommended.
India's visa regulations change frequently, so check the Indian embassy's website for the latest information.
Required vaccinations
There are no vaccinations that are mandatory for travel.
