What about tipping in India?

Although tipping in India is not compulsory, doing so is a nice gesture. In some circumstances, a small tip is expected.

We do recommend tipping at various instances, but tip higher only when you are very happy with the service. Tip can given after completion of the services from 5$, 10$ or more as per your choice and depending on how much satisfied & happy you are with the service provider. Standard tipping that travelers provide to different service providers: Pickup & Drop - 2$ to 10$ Waiters -1$ to 5$ Drivers - 5$ to 10$ Managers & Tour Guides - 10$ to 50$ or it totally depends on you

Do I need medical/travel insurance?

Yes. It is strongly recommended to buy a comprehensive medical/travel insurance in advance from your country before traveling to India.

Taj Temples and Tigers India Tour

Central India Wildlife Tour

I had to cancel the tour for personal reasons. This review is in praise of the thoughtful and understanding treatment that I received from Sunil at Alkof. He spend a lot of time explaining everything to me before and booked. Then, when I had to cancel, he was sympathetic and refunded my deposit. I've travelled a great deal and there are many tour operators who are untrustworthy. Alkof has shown itself to be honest and reliable. ...more ...less

Escorted Kashmir Ladakh Tour Package

23-Oct-23

I enjoyed my trip immensely. every day was wonderfully beautiful. Everything went perfectly, without any problems. My stay in Ladakh was especially wonderful. I would like to thank my driver/guide Sharif. It was a pleasure to travel with him. He was a very good driver, but also a very good and caring guide. If I could visit another part of Ladakh next year in July or August, I would definitely want to do so, possibly in combination with the Indian Himalayas. I would also like to thank Alkof Tours for the good organization and good follow-up of my trip. Marcel Merlo Belgium ...more ...less

Our trip to India was great.

07-Apr-2023

Our trip to India was great. Everything was super well organized, the guides and drivers were super punctual. The guides were very good at imparting their knowledge. We learned a lot about Indian history, religion, food and of course the forts, temples etc. We felt safe and secure at all times. Many thanks to the Alkof Holidays team, drivers, guides. I definitely recommend going on a tour with them and if I ever visit India again, I will use their services myself. ...more ...less

Excellent tour

16-Apr-23

Excellent tour, all the staff were always concerned about our safety and comfort. The guides were very helpful in getting to know each place, especially the guide from Jaipur whose English was very good and adapted according to our interests. The attention and assistance of the driver was key to having a good experience, Nandu always worried about us until the last day. I suggest they could have more restaurant options for each location, since the quality in some of them was not very good (Agra and Jaipur). But overall we had a very good experience. We are very grateful for the service received. ...more ...less
