Our Small Group Tours of India are exquisitely planned & facilitated. Our luxury India vacations and tours are facilitated for independent travelers and give you complete flexibility in orchestrating your travels in India.
Our website is an example of our commitment to being the very best at what we do. Please take the time to click through to one of the tour pages so that you can experience the amazing interface and incredible depth of information – this website is revolutionary in its simplicity and functionality.
The vast majority of US based Tour Operators do not have even one office in India – they are middlemen selling the whole world and marking up the price they receive from an India based Tour Company. They all have huge sales offices in the US. Most of the itineraries they advertise have errors in their descriptions and their itineraries show that they have very little knowledge of travel in India.
We have 10 well staffed offices in India and we don’t have to add additional mark-ups. Our large staff of dedicated professionals in India personally facilitates our guests’ vacations and tours of India.
The Specialists in our US Sales & Design Office only cater to travel in South Asia and are True Experts. Each one of them spends significant time experiencing tours of India every year – they use the same lodging, flights, vehicles and roads that our guests do – they visit the same attractions.
DOES YOUR TOUR AGENCY HAVE OVER 12,000 CLIENTS EAGER TO BE REFERENCES? OVER A THIRD OF OUR NEW GUESTS ARE REFERRALS & REPEATS. HERE ARE A FEW REASONS WHY –
We start with the premise that your time and your money are both very precious & neither should be wasted. The experts in our Guest Relations & Operations Departments work together to give you amazing service from the day you first reserve or request information, all the way until you return home from your tour of India, or your vacation in India.
We then add World Class Service. From the moment that you are greeted by an Easy Tours Visit Facilitator or Tour Director, you enter a world of impeccable service and hospitality. While you tour India with us, your biggest decisions are what places and experiences you'd like to spend your time exploring, and what cuisine you will want to savor on your next meal. Because of our unmatched local expertise, you get to see all that India has to offer without having to think about logistics.
We have built the Best Relationships. We are preferred partners of the finest hoteliers in the world – The Oberoi Group (including the Trident Hotels) and the Taj Group (including the Gateway Hotels) both enjoy reputations that are the envy of every other hotelier on this planet – they both have received more Top 20 accolades (from western experts such as Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast) than any other hotel Group on earth. Our commitment to almost exclusively using one of Asia’s finest airlines (Jet Airways) pays off by making domestic travel in India a joy for our guest’s.
We offer the most diverse selection of lodging and services. You can choose from the finest luxury hotels to exquisite boutique hotels, from Grand Heritage Palaces to smaller heritage establishments. India’s finest staff of expert Tour Directors & Guides will show you the best vantage point for the unusual photograph you seek, or the special restaurant that most tourists never hear about. A wide selection of immaculate late model vehicles is available to suit any preference for your tour of India.
Quality & exclusivity are standard equipment. Our Small Group India Tours have a maximum of 12 members; our average group size is 8. Both Small Group & Independent travelers can choose from 3 different levels of travel, ranging from luxurious to almost decadent.
Guests interested in India vacations or theme based holidays in India can ask us to arrange just lodging and transportation, and then select from a menu of sightseeing and other options if they so desire.
We offer unique and imaginative itineraries. Unlike other tour operators who offer India tours with the same old tired themes and canned presentations, we offer unique and fresh perspectives that are designed with today's luxury traveler in mind. Read the brochures and /or websites of a few other tour companies. Observe how their India Tours all feel and sound the same. Then read a description of one or two of our tours in India.
Even if the other Tour Operator’s India agent suggests a change, these organizations have distinct command chains and a large sales staff without much knowledge and thus don’t have the ability to be flexible so they can improve. An example of this is that most of the largest Tour companies in the US are currently showing itineraries that include flights that were cancelled over two years ago. Instead of a hour long flight, their clients get a 9 hour drive and loose a complete day of experiencing India, but are only told this when they arrive in India.
How we value your time - One of the biggest differences between Easy Tours of India and almost all other India tour & travel agencies is that our recommended tours of India are based on you flying between most of your destinations in India, or driving where that is the least time consuming mode of travel. We do include a little train travel and can customize an independent traveler’s desire for more.
Experience more of the incredible culture of India, and less of India’s limitations – India offers the richest & most colorful culture on this planet and its people are among the most gracious in the world. However, this ancient civilization also has a lot of facets that can be hard on an unprepared visitor – especially in terms of optimum utilization of your time, and the lack of proper sanitation / hygiene. Time is not usually valued highly in India and most companies (including western tour operators that are middlemen depending on Indian agents) design travel itineraries where you waste a significant portion of your time in uninspiring and inefficient travel, because this allows the agent to offer a lower price. Train travel is a great example of this as most rail travel in India offers incredibly insanitary conditions, often leading to illness and interrupted itineraries. If you follow our recommendations on travel, you end up avoiding wasted time and poor levels of sanitation that are an integral part of almost all train journeys and some road travel. This enables you to spend more time experiencing, exploring and relaxing at your destinations. Click here to learn more.
We save you money. Luxury tours of India cost less with us. Compare us to the other reputable companies that offer luxury travel in India. No one offers the value we provide on our India tours & vacations packages - if you find a less expensive tour of India, there will be many good reasons why it’s cheaper.
You are the boss! You determine the priorities. It's your time - you decide what to do. Most activities during our India Tours are elective, and you can even opt out of most excursions when you are on a small group tour of India.
We know the hotels & the hoteliers. Our staff stays in all of the hotels we use personally on an ongoing basis so we can keep our evaluations current. We also have over 2500 North American guests (2012) stay in these hotels every year and use their feedback to make changes. There is a severe shortage of good hotels in India during the peak tourism season and availability can be slim. We have the relationships to secure the better rooms when others can't, thereby making your tour of India a better experience.
No one offers the vehicle choices & expert staff that we do. Most Luxury Tour companies only offer the vehicles we offer at our Deluxe Level. Our India Tours include two levels of automobiles above that, starting with a Japanese SUV and moving up to larger vehicles of Japanese and European origin.
We are local specialists & not wholesalers - We have offices in all the major tourism destinations of India, as well as two in the United States. We offer the very best tours of India & South Asia, and invite you to combine many of the nations in the region into one tour of Asia.
We do not cancel our Small Group Tours. Guaranteed! Every month we are approached by people that have just been informed by their Tour Company that their India tour was cancelled. Almost all agencies do this if they are unable to sell a sufficient number of rooms on any particular India Tours’ departure dates. We will operate a group tour of India if we only have one guest show up - guaranteed!
We specialize in all aspects of travel and tours in India, including luxury India tours on trains like the "Palace On Wheels" & the "Deccan Odyssey". We do believe that these trains have limited advantages (& luxury, despite their names) and some disadvantages. To repeat what thousands of our previous guests will be happy to tell you - the very best way to tour India is by letting us assist you with your plans.
We respond quicker than anyone else! When you send us an inquiry. When you have questions or concerns. When you have special needs arise while you are on a tour of India. When you sent in your inquiry, or a follow up question, which tour agency responded faster than the others? Are you OK with waiting a few days every time you have a question or a concern?
E-mails get to India pretty much instantaneously and calling there is pretty much the same as calling locally. If you are on an India Tour and have an emergency, would you like to count on the agency that takes two or three days to get back to you?
Easy Tours of India is a socially active enterprise. We support a few carefully chosen (local and international) charitable organizations. We are conscious of the fragility of our environment, and aggressively pursue policies of conservation and preservation throughout our operations.
Your comfort is of utmost importance to us, and we treat you like royalty by making sure all your needs are taken care off while you are on one of our India Tours. You have the option to take any of our India tour itineraries by yourself, starting on any date you choose, and you can build your own India Tour.
There's no rushing from one tourist attraction to another. The discriminating traveler has a vast array of choices. Select & combine India tours ranging from wildlife tours, to horseback rides in the fabled desert of Rajasthan, to a cruise on the incredible backwaters of Kerala.
We offer tours to India & South Asia only. A lot of companies offer India tours along with tours to every other country on this planet, then leave you at the mercy of local travel agents at each location. Unlike them, our India tours include personalized service because we have large operations offices in the main tourism destinations of India.
You're not risking your money. Unlike India tour agencies based in India, your payments and deposits are protected, and are refundable as per the terms you agree upon at the time you decide to tour India with us.
You're treated like royalty. Let us know the level of attention you require from our support staff, then sit back and experience a tour of India that includes amazing service and facilities. We let you enjoy the experiences you're seeking as you tour India, while being pampered with comforts that you'd only expect at the world’s best resorts.
Our attention to detail will surprise you. We're committed to your complete satisfaction while you tour India with us. You have access to our management throughout your India Tour; if anything dissatisfies you, we'll correct it.
You get more for your money. All our India tours are excellent values. Opulent Level tours of India exceed the best our competition has to offer. They are exquisitely planned and offer the ultimate in service, lodging and dining. They include an individual visit facilitator for each room (or family) reservation.
Be pampered in Palaces & Boutique Hotels. We invite comparison on any grounds, and the hotels we use are an example of that. You'll stay at the best hotels in the world on our luxury tours of India, and we invite you to compare them to what our competition has to offer in their India Tours. Our guides and other staff are also the best that you can find, and they are trained to satisfy the most demanding guests. When it comes to luxury travel and India Tours, no other agency has the talent that our staff has.

Pratham - Read India Program. Easy Tours of India takes pride in our commitment to the environment. All our travel arrangements are available with a zero carbon footprint. We understand how fundamentally important it is to support the communities we do business in, and to protect, enhance, and ensure the continued existence of our surroundings wherever our tours take us. Likewise we encourage and honor other organizations that have similar beliefs.
Pratham, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, began in the slums of Mumbai in 1994 and this organization’s main focus is on literacy and the education of impoverished children. Easy Tours of India considers Pratham as an exemplary organization because 94 % of their revenue is spent directly on communities in India. They continually promote low operational costs and were granted the highest rating on Charity Navigator for their sound fiscal management. They have grown substantially since 1994 and now offer many programs throughout India. One program that has especially impressed Easy Tours of India is Pratham’s Read India program.
Read India is Pratham’s premier program that helps to teach underprivileged children in India the fundamentals of elementary learning. The number of illiterate and uneducated children in India is overwhelming. Since 2007, Pratham's Read India campaign to teach underprivileged children across the country to read, write and do basic arithmetic has impacted an estimated 33 million children across India.
Almost all of our Independent India tours can be arranged to include a visit to one, or more, of Pratham’s facilities.
Easy Tours of India is proud to honor such an outstanding organization for their efforts in Indian communities. Our company encourages anyone who wants to get involved in Pratham’s Read India program to visit http://www.prathamusa.org/programs/read-india or Click Here for more information.

Luxury Train Tour plus Independent Travel
March 2013
I recently returned from India . We had the time of our lives thanks to Easy Tours of India!
I cannot say enough good things about the service we received from start to finish. Booking was a breeze, you were so helpful and responsive to all my questions, responding in a most timely manner, always professional & prompt. Thanks to you and your staff, our trip was seamless. I have been in the travel business for 30+ years and have not encountered such superior service. You should all be proud of that, it did not go unnoticed.
Every detail of our trip was meticulously handled, and the staff we encountered, just phenomenal! Our facilitator was always in place, smiling and helpful....popping up like a Genie whenever we needed him! Our driver was so sweet and careful and such a great driver (in the land of maniac motorists). The two of them never left our sides in public, and we felt so protected and safe with them. Very good companions-we miss them.
I would be honored to recommend your company most heartily to anyone contemplating a journey to India . It was a pleasure to have traveled with you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of India, primarily because our Tour Director was always so vigilant and kind. He tried his best to make us happy and comfortable, sometimes, under challenging conditions, e.g. crowded Varanasi and long van rides. He even rescued a carry-on bag that we left in the overhead compartment of the plane. For me (Nancy) being in Varanasi with his explanation of what we were seeing was the real highlight of my trip. India is a fascinating country. I would like to come again.
I know it sounds silly but I wish you could change the name of your tour company--it implies less than it really is. Our group came up with the name, "The Real India", which I think would capture the attention of especially, the American tourist. Bottom line, I thought the trip might be more stressful because I am older and not accustomed to too much change but it was an "easy" tour in that regard. Nevertheless, the name does not nearly tell the magnitude of the experience and how very special India is. The hotels were excellent. The rooms, service and food were all great. The pace of the tour was not too fast. We wish we had included Udaipur. We may be different from others, but we would have appreciated a quick stop along the road on occasion to hear our Tour Director explain about the crops and farms that we were driving by. Our Tour Director is an exceptional young man. REFERENCE AVAILABLE. SMALL GROUP TOURS

I just wanted to thanks you again for an amazing trip. We have travelled extensively and used many tour companies but easy tours was the most organized and caring of all of them. The guides, facilitators, and drivers were all top notch.
We truly had a great time (especially the Taj Rambagh Palace, was worth it).
