Vibrant India Tours - Private Tailor Made India Tours Specialist - Melbourne, Victoria

In 23 days, we visited 13 cities in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, staying in unique and stunning forts, palaces and havelis. And as we were close to the end of the spring season, we were fortunate to have many rooms upgraded.
There were many highlights. Naturally, the Taj Mahal, the palace and lake at Udaipur, the holy Ganges at Varanasi, seeing tigers in Ranthambore and the wild, loud and fabulous Holi celebrations.
Many of our tour guides were helpful, informative and delightful. And we had an excellent driver in Jitu who went beyond to add extras to our tour. He was simply outstanding.
The on-ground Indian Vibrant team communications via WhatsApp was constant and inspired confidence.
We intend to visit southern India and Sri Lanka in years to come and will book through Vibrant.
An easy and good company to deal with.

What a colorful country India is! I am so lucky to have picked Vibrant India Tours for my first tour operator to India. The whatsapp group is so efficient to communicate with both the tour planner in Melboune and the local tour manager in India and both of them are quite helpful and responding almost in real time. Nand, the local driver, is so helpful and professional in his work and with him, all my daily activity were well taken care of. I will definately go back to India in future again, and without surprise, I will let Vibrant India Tours to arrange my next Indian tour.

My wife, adult daughter, and I have recently returned from a customised private 17 day Tour of Rajasthan (with a side trip to Varanasi) arranged and conducted by Vibrant India Tours. Having now returned home, we found that India can be a bit confronting, and we were very happy to have engaged Vibrant to take care of us throughout our time in country. Karam was easy to deal with online, and over the phone, to plan the trip, and then once we arrived, the local Drivers and Guides were very friendly and helpful. We were able to communicate easily using our WhatsApp group and Vibrant staff were always responsive. The sights and tours we did were all good, and we were able to modify our plans if we felt the need. We stayed in a variety of hotels each with their own "Indian flavour", such as a heritage hotel in Jaipur, an old fort in Jodhpur, and a well located lakeside hotel in Udaipur. We would particularly like to single out our main driver, Ram Kumar Singh, who was very friendly, made us feel safe, and took much care to ensure we were well looked after.
I am happy to recommend Vibrant India Tours.

My family of 4 have just returned from a 7 day, personalised Golden Triangle tour. Noting how overwhelming India can be, the way that everything was coordinated by the team couldn’t have gone better.
Communication was always spot on (even though we are located overseas), and the tours were personalised to our needs. The itinerary was tailored for what we wanted to do and the accomodation that was organised for us was exceptional. Karam even managed to get us a very late check out at a superior hotel which we are very grateful for as we had a very late flight.
Our driver, Raju was amazing too. We really enjoyed spending time with him and he was so good with the kids - in fact, most of the tour guides were.
In terms of having all your basics sorted, we couldn’t have gotten close without Vibrant India Tours… your shopping budget is all on you though! Ha

I would happily book another trip with these guys again - maybe a different part of India this time.

Many thanks to Vibrant India for the amazing experience my family and I had while in India. The advice before we left, the ongoing monitoring and the travel arrangements were excellent. We enjoyed all the hotels we stayed in, which were carefully matched to our needs.The local guides and drivers couldn't have been more helpful - all had a great understanding of English. The day tours went seamlessly and enjoyably with all hotel pickups and entry fees taken care of. We have no hesitation in recommending Vibrant India to anyone planning this type of tour.

Travelling on a bus in small or large groups is not our thing as there is always somebody who is going to upset the apple cart, possibly even myself lol. So this is the first time we have ever engaged a tour company to tailor our holiday since we prefer to design our own itinerary, accomodation, etc and invariably hire a car(s) and do our own thing.
Choosing India as a destination however made us rethink and so we scanned the internet for possible tour companies to offer us the best solution and we came across Vibrant India Tours. Their Website describes that Private Tours are their speciality. What an understatement that is. From the time we decided to engage Karam and Belinda to design our two weeks in India Tour (Sept 2023), to the time we arrived back home in Australia (this week) was designed to perfection. All we had to do was come up with our own air travel from and back to Australia and Karam and Belinda did the rest.
Upon arriving from Australia via Singapore into Delhi, their driver was waiting for us. Indeed we had our own driver wherever we went. He knew our itinerary down to the minute, when to pick us up from our hotel(s) and when to drop us off. Various guides were also pre-engaged at places along the way to show us their bit of India in all it's beautiful, astounding glory. The hotels were all hand picked and pre-booked as was the internal Air India Express flight from Delhi to Kochi, when we embarked on a week long tour of Kerala.
Vibrant India Tours have their own specialists based in India who keep and eye on things. Indeed they rang our driver everyday to see how things were going and where we were. And Karam and Belinda kept an eye on us and were in contact every few days to see whether we were ok and happy with things.
I can't imagine trying to organise this tour ourselves without some sort of hitch and found it incredible that our driver always turned up at our hotel at the time we agreed the night before, right down to the minute. Somehow whenever we were travelling to some point of interest where we were to meet a guide, the guide just appeared like an apparition, right at the car door when we got there! Our various guides like our drivers were well spoken, courteous and knowledgable, and we had them all to ourselves.
So, if you are thinking about a holiday to India but not quite sure where to go, what to see and how to organise it you honestly should not go past Vibrant India Tours. We will be travelling to India again in the future. Like Australia, it's a vast country with just so much to see across different landscapes and climates and Vibrant India Tours have the whole of India covered just for you.

I chose to go with Vibrant India Tours as our communications from the outset were professional warm and helpful. Our trip itinerary to Northern India was perfection. The drivers, guides were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Our longer drives throughout Rajhastan were made easier because of Jitu, a wonderful careful driver. He was very thoughtful and made the week of road trips enjoyable and comfortable. He was a lovely gentleman. We also had contact from VIT throughout out time in India via WhatsApp group which was very supportive and great to know we could easily connect with them if needed. I highly recommend VIT for anyone planning a trip to India, the team was fabulous on every level. We had an amazing and very memorable time.

Vibrant India Tours organized a most enjoyable bespoke trip to India for me. I knew the places I wanted to go but needed someone to recommend and work out timings, private tours, transport and accomodation, which they did with great competence. Three weeks without a hitch!
