Our guide Giriraj Singh Shekhawat was as knowledgeable and engaging as the best university professor you ever had! He educated us on the sites and the culture and history. Our driver was perfectly teamed to Giriraj and was always on time and courteous. We have travelled extensively in Europe and never taken a tour before. We used Private guides and drivers etc. We thought India would require a tour. It was deficitley the best way to experience India We would definitely do a A and R tour again.

Recently finished 12 day Land of the Maharajahs tour in northern India. Can't say enough about our guide, Giriraj Shekhawat and his faithful and professional driver, Satendra who accompanied us the entire time and provided stellar service and support to our intimate party of 4. We enjoyed and were educated about all the usual tourist highlights but also ventured off schedule, always with our consent - sometimes at the suggestion of Giriraj and sometimes at our request - to take in additional cultural and historical highlights. Giriraj was incredibly knowledgeable and disarmingly personable and left us all with newfound appreciation of the country and its people and culture. Highly recommend!

We have come home glowing about this trip, our second with Alexander and Roberts. Our exceptional guide Giriraj Shekhavat turned this from a vacation to an experience conveying the history, culture, religion and personal life of India in a fascinating way. Our driver, too was outstanding, navigating the very difficult traffic of the cities we visited. We particularly enjoyed the Taj Mahal at sunrise, the home of Gandhi, the glorious hotels and the nonstop fun of the Holi holiday. Traveling in a small group allowed us to take spur of the moment advantage of sights and buying opportunities. Can’t recommend this trip enough!

We were extremely fortunate to experience this trip under the tutelage of guide Giriraj Shekhawat. He made this first experience in India interesting and seamless on every level. The sights and the places we stayed were magnificent and we were driven safely around everywhere by our talented driver Satendra. An extra bonus to our trip was experiencing Holi; what a fun combination of food, music and color.. Absolutely great trip on every level!

Everything was wonderful. The size of the group was key to the experience. Our guide, Chanchel. was very knowledgeable and conscious of our every need. We will always recommend Alexander & Roberts to everyone.
