We usually organize our trips independently and never use travel agents, but for Rajasthan, we felt we might need some assistance—especially with finding a driver. While researching online, we discovered Kimkim, which connected us with the incredible Ravi from Active India.

From the very start, Ravi was exceptionally helpful, reviewing our planned itinerary and suggesting an additional stop to make the journey smoother. Most of the local guides provided were highly knowledgeable and eager to answer all our questions, enhancing our experience at every destination.

Our driver, Puran, was wonderful—kind, professional, and most importantly, calm. His composure was essential for navigating the chaotic roads of India, ensuring we always felt safe and at ease.

Ravi and his team provided outstanding service throughout our stay in India, and we wholeheartedly recommend Active India to anyone planning a trip to Rajasthan. Their expertise made all the difference in creating a seamless and memorable journey.

Oberoi Udaivilas
Udaipur

Our suite was beautiful with a swimming pool and terrace. The furniture was a bit dated but well maintained. The butler service was good.

Taj Umaid Bhawan Palace

The hotel is actually a palace. The common areas are very beautiful. Our historical suite could use a bit of updating but it was very clean and the service excellent.

The suite was spacious, but the furniture showed signs of wear and could benefit from some refurbishment to enhance the overall comfort and aesthetic.

Gajner Palace

The picture is misleading. We checked in and immediately checked out after seeing our bedroom. So very old. The place appeared to have a lot of potential after a total makeover.

Mayagarh Pushkar

This hotel is essentially a country house, but unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. Both the main swimming pool and our plunge pool had dirty water, as the filtration systems appeared to be off—a very disappointing first impression. While the suite was spacious, the fridge was non-functional, adding to the list of inconveniences. Overall, we left with a negative impression and would recommend avoiding this property if possible.

The Oberoi Rajvilas
Jaipur

A beautiful suite complemented by a recently added swimming pool, making the stay even more enjoyable. The grounds are stunning, offering a serene and picturesque environment. The service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience.

Oberoi Amarvilas
Agra

If the weather permits, a stunning view of the Taj Mahal greets you right from the hotel’s hall. All the rooms are oriented towards this iconic jewel of Agra, ensuring breathtaking views. We stayed in a suite on the 5th floor, and the view was absolutely spectacular. However, the furniture could use some spot cleaning, and the AC in the living area was excessively cold, making it difficult to use the space comfortably.

The Oberoi New Delhi
New Delhi

For a hotel considered one of the best in Delhi, our experience was quite disappointing. In our suite, the floors along the walls were not properly cleaned, and the AC emitted an unpleasant smell. The doors were worn, the furniture was dated, and the sofas and chairs had noticeable stains. Additionally, the hallway near the elevator banks was filled with an overpowering perfume odor, making the wait for the elevator uncomfortable. Overall, the hotel did not meet the high standards we expected.
