annhig,

Glad to share the information with you. We were delighted with the wonderful service and the reasonable price provided by Ramesh and India by Car and Driver...a nearly new, clean, comfortable SUV, a cooler with water on ice every day, a local cell phone and charger so we could call the driver if we changed plans while out of the car, help getting tickets etc where we needed it, good guides at no extra cost, no extra shopping stops when I wanted one and no hidden extra expenses. All this for less than $400 total for the 6 days.
We did use the phone to change the pick up place a couple if times so I didn't have to walk so far back to the car. That was a real plus.

The owner is Resmash. I contacted him by email and he was very prompted in replying. <[email protected]>

We liked that we could pay the deposit with a credit card through Paypal and then the balance was due near the end of the trip.

I booked our hotel package, but he gave me prices on several different hotels and also for the same Oberoi package that I arranged for through Amex.

For what it is worth, I priced the trip with several companies used by others on Fodors, but no one could touch Ramesh's price. Our driver, Richi, was wonderful, very knowledgeable about locations in all three cities we visited and a careful driver even in what at times was mind boggling traffic conditions!

Hope this helps.

cwn - it helps a lot. We're not thinking about doing it this year [Australia calls] but possibly next.

by the looks of it April/May would be a good time, especially if we wanted to link it with the himalayas too.

Love Australia...another place we want to visit again. We spent a wonderful 4 1/2 weeks there a few years ago.

In India from mid April it is getting hotter each day, at least around the Golden Triangle area...it was in the high 90s to 102 during the day and high 70s to 80s at night while we were there. But humidity was very low so the heat wasn't much of a problem for us...unlike at home where the days get in the high 90s to 100+ with humidity around 85%, now that is a killer to be outside in. We had been watching the weather. The first two weeks of April were cooler, but summer arrived with us!

Do try to go to the Himalayas...that was the one thing we wished we had done.
