We had a memorable,
enjoyable and well-organized 12 days tour in Jan 2016 of Rajasthan
with 2 other couples, beginning in Delhi and ending in Udaipur and
Mumbai. The customized tour was arranged with Mr Ravi Sasmal of
Ravi India Tours. We had a driver and Ravi Sasmal was our overall
guide. He was very flexible and accommodating with special
requests. He communicated reasonably well in English and was very
helpful and useful with local guides in different areas. He was
also knowledgeable in historical facts of the places we visited.
Without him, we would have some difficulty on the trip. All in
all, we were very satisfied with his services and wouldn't
hesitate to recommend his company for such tours of India.
With
best regards Catherine

There were 6 in our group and although Ravi Sasmal wasn't

exceptional guide during our many hours on the road with his
wealth of local knowledge and nothing was too much trouble for
him. He was flexible and accommodating with our arrangements and
was available 24/7 and when necessary, he organized other guides
for particular attractions. He is a genuine, caring person and our

Comments: The tour was absolutely amazing from the beginning till
the end. Ravi Sasmal picked us up from Delhi airport and it was a
15nights/16days tour of north India. It was a well organised
wonderful trip for my husband and I and Ravi did an outstanding
job navigating us through north India. Our experience with Ravi
India Tours made the trip more than just a sightseeing tour. We
thoroughly enjoyed the concept of independence and flexibility. We
could see just what we were interested in at our own pace. Ravi
remained available 24/7 and delivered what was expected and much
more. Ravi was knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating to all our
requests and needs. Likewise, the vehicle was clean,very
comfortable and fully equipped with an esky (for drinks and
mineral water) and a tray of snacks to go with. There was also a
tissue box, toilet paper roll and hand sanitizer. Ravi was always
just a phone call away and always right on time. The trip was very
well organised around Haridwar, Rishikesh, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur,
Jodhpur and Udaipur. They thought of every detail and the tour
guides were fantastic and well coordinated. Their suggestions for
what to do and where to shop were all excellent. The Agra trip
gave us a comprehensive view of the Mughal empire. This trip was a
long time coming and yes we did have a really great time. Ravi is
an excellent and safe driver with good knowledge of the
attractions. He is extremely careful, very helpful and a good
English speaker. I completely recommend Ravi India Tours and will
certainly use in the future should we wish to go on other Indian
driving tours. Thank you Ravi - both my husband and I had the most
wonderful holiday.
You were kind, genuine and honest and you did
your best to ensure we had a great time.

organization. He is very responsive and very flexible in order to
respect your requests while advising you on all the little things
you may not have think about. During the trip Ravi Sasmal is
always available and dedicated to your travel experience. He let
us decide what we wanted to do but was always around if needed. He
was an essential part of our trip. It would not have been he same
without him. The long discussions on the road were very

This
was the most interesting trip up to now after 39 countries

explained us a lot of things about India and he allowed us to
visite extraordinary places (someone are not in tourist tours but
very interesting). His car is very comfortable and very clean. We
recommend this travel to everybody in our surrounding. When i
speak about India with poeple generally they are afraid from India
because it has a reputation of not very clean . I tell them that
it is not so terrible and it is the most interesting country among
the 39 countries that we visited. It is really the case I don't
say that just to be kind. It was a very great pleasure for us to
visit Rajasthan with you Ravi Kumar Sasmal. A lot of thanks again.

met his lovely wife Mili and their children Krishna and Siddharth
and shared a very tasty and authentic meal with them not once but
twice.
A keen photographer himself Ravi was only too happy to suggest or
find great photo opportunities for us.
Again if you want to have a wonderful time in India with a driver

Comments: Ravi Kumar Sasmal is the man we can highly recommend to
everybody!
My father, a friend of him and I had the chance to use the
services of Ravi Kumar Sasmal for a week. We traveled from Delhi
in the direction of Sariska National Park. Thanks to Ravi, who is
very experienced and knows the environment very well, we were able
to see lots of interesting places around the city of Alwar. He
told us a lot about the local people, the villages and the history
of the region, which always was very interesting. Whatever we
wanted to know he could tell us a story about. Once he organized a
local guide who walked with us to a ridge of hills with ancient
rock-paintings and impressive rock formations. Another day Ravi
accompanied us again to a monastery near the Sariska Park. By
translating he could help us very much. After our tour he invited
me to his home to visit his wife Mili, his son Siddharth, and his
daughter Krishna, which was really great. The meal i was invited
to was definitely the best food of all the food I ate in the whole
week. They let me try a meal with green mango and Khatal (Jack
Fruit as a vegetable), which I still dream about a little bit
sometimes. With a great sense of humor Ravi Kumar is the man we
can highly recommend to everybody.
Thank you very much and all the best, Fabian & Volker Heussler and

so memorable. he was not only a professional, but he was totally
knowledgeable, honest and reliable. he knew of all the hotels,
sights, cities and restaurants. his services were not only
excellent, but he really made sure we have seen the little extra

interesting region, we would highly recommend Ravi without any
hesitations. at the end of the trip, we were invited to his home
for a meal and met his 2 lovely children and Millie (his wife),
who is an outstanding cook. We highly recommended his company this

Everything went exactly as scheduled and the accommodation was
exactly as described and agreed. We had the benefit of having Mr.
Ravi Kumar Sasmal as our driver guide. He was a most professional
and above all a safe driver. He was also a very nice man and gave
us many insights into everyday life in India as we traveled from
place to place. Also he invited two of us at his home for dinner
and we meet his nice family wife and two children. Enjoy the great
India food with them. His wife Mili cooked very testy India food
for us.

Dear Ravi, Thanks for a wonderful time in India! What a shame we
couldn't stay any longer. You made us want to come back to see

you made us feel safe and catered to our needs whenever you could.
I know we had little time and that we wanted to do a lot even
though we were late every morning! So thanks for your patience and
for trying hard to make sure we visited all the places we wanted
to go to! And thanks for your patience as well after our bank
blocked the transfer to your account! Please remain as you are,
with your great sense of humour, your genuine kindness and

We could not have done this without Ravi Sasmal !
I was the main organiser of the trip and had been communicating
with Ravi
I wanted to agree with Adams comments above on what an amazing
time we had in India. We could not have done this without Ravi. I
was the main organiser of the trip and had been communicating with
Ravi via email for 12months. I wanted our own "tour", not a big
bus filled with other tourists. He was very patient with me and
answered all (and there were many) questions promptly and
honestly. As is stated above we were two families traveling
together, a group of nine (5 children). We traveled on a 12 seater
bus with our driver Sudhir (who was fantastic!!!) and Ravi Sasmal
as our escort. Not only did Ravi get us to all of these amazing
places and organise local guides but organised basic (but
important) things like getting our laundry done or to an ATM when
we needed money. Also organising a very late change of plans with
no fuss. Ravi was there to meet us at the airport (after a very
long flight) and there to see us off at the end of our trip. One
of the highlights of the trip was visiting Ravi's home for dinner.
We met his children and his wife Mili who is an amazing cook, this
was a lovely experience for us and our children. The hotels he
recommended were excellent, all with pools for the children (at
the end of a hot days sightseeing ) as I'd requested. Finally, I
was a bit nervous about just contacting someone who's name I'd
seen on trip adviser but what a fantastic holiday!!! Starting to
plan our next trip to India now. Check our Ravis website

He comes highly recommended!!!

Our family of 5 has recently returned from an amazing experience
touring Rajasthan with Ravi Sasmal ( Ravi India Tours )
We traveled with another family, so in total there were 9 of us
including 5 children ranging in age from 9 to almost 14. We
certainly would not have had such a fantastic experience if it
were not for our great guide, Ravi Kumar Sasmal (www.rajasthan-tour.in).
Right from when we first made contact with Ravi and throughout the
entire planning stage, Ravi was extremely quick with his responses
and very accommodating with the requests and questions we had. On
the first evening of our tour we were warmly and graciously
invited to Ravi's home to share a wonderful dinner with him and
his lovely family. Throughout the tour Ravi continued to be very
accommodating, flexible and understanding of our needs. The
arrangements with each of the hotels and city guides was very
smooth, which is not always easy given the size and make-up of our
group. Ravi even organized changes to our stay in Agra which we
requested with only a couple of days notice. Sure, there are a
couple of other things that I would change, like staying an extra
night in Jodhpur and only doing Ranakpur as a side trip instead of
overnight, but these are suggestions based on our own experiences
and I know Ravi would accommodate anyone wishing to do this.
That's the type of experience we had - we were made to feel that
this was our own family tour. Overall, we had many memorable
experiences and really got to see what an amazing place Rajasthan
is. We definitely have Ravi to thank for that.

Outstanding Driver in Rajasthan
My daughter and two friends recently traveled to Chennai to be
members of their friend's wedding party. They took the opportunity
to travel independently to Rajasthan and used the services of Ravi
Kumar Sasmal www.rajasthan-tour.in/. This man is EXCELLENT! The
girls are experienced travelers used to low budget no frills
travel because as medical students they travel internationally to
work with under served populations (Africa, South America, Borneo,
etc) all on a student budget. As a Mom I had some concerns fueled
by recent events in the news so I argued for a driver. I knew the
girls were on a limited budget and a driver was a luxury but I am
convinced that in the long run they saved money by hiring Ravi.
They would have had to spend more money on several more stressful
days trying to negotiate transportation, taxis, hotels, guides,finding good meals (to avoid Delhi belly) and still not
have been able to see as much as they were able to see with Ravi.
He also gave them invaluable tips in how to negotiate various
situations so they would not be overcharged. They were able to
travel safely, comfortably and efficiently with a wonderful driver
who they now consider a good friend. He picked them up and
delivered them back to the airport. He introduced them to his
lovely family making a personal and lasting memory of their trip
to Delhi. From all reports he went above and beyond their
expectations and was a skilled professional and yet warm, kind and
extremely personable. They have traveled extensively and are
bright independent young women but they agreed that northern India
did pose some unique challenges and they agreed that hiring Ravi
made for a better experience especially with their limited time
frame. Check out client comment on his web site. He is a real gem!

Outstanding Driver in Rajasthan
We were two 60-something women in India for the first time and
Ravi Kumar Sasmal was absolutely wonderful, looked after us
extremely attentively and really made our trip for us. He had made
all the arrangements in advance including a four night trip to
Kerala after our 15 nights in Rajasthan. From the moment he
greeted us at Delhi airport with fresh marigold Divali garlands,
everything worked beautifully. Ravi was always on time and
immaculately presented. There was always bottled water and tissues
in the car. We didn't really know what to expect but certainly
hadn't anticipated the fun we would have with Ravi. We really,
really liked him and had lots of laughs together.
His English is
exceptionally good. On our first day he took us to his home to
meet his wife, Mili, their children, Krishna and Sidartha, and
various neighbours. Mili had cooked a delicious meal for us and it
was a fabulous experience and brilliant introduction to India.
Although driving in India is a little scary for UK residents, at
no time did we feel unsafe with Ravi – he really knows what he is
doing. Although we had excellent guides (organised by Ravi) at the
major attractions, Ravi's knowledge is good and what was
particularly noticeable while we were en route was that he
understood the kind of things that were going to fascinate/amuse
us and seemed as enthusiastic as us about ladies carrying pots on
their heads, overloaded camels etc.
On three occasions he took us
“off piste” and we experience real village life and an authentic
tea ceremony: these were moments to be treasured. The places he
took us to eat were obviously clean because we had not the least
touch of illness the whole time we were there and brought home
unopened the copious supplies of Immodium we had taken with us !
We can't recommend him highly enough and can't imagine having had
a better experience. If we could return to India today to do it
all over again, we would jump at the chance.

We would like to express our sincere thanks for the wonderful
service during our tour to Delhi and Agra. We were met at the
airport in Delhi and driven to Agra in a very comfortable car and
the driver was friendly. Once in Agra, we were met by our tour
guide, Vikram, who took us to the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal. He
was incredibly knowledgeable and interesting and we felt lucky to
have him guiding us. Upon returning to Delhi two days later, we
spent the day with Ravi getting a quick tour of Delhi. We had very
little time but he was able to give us an overview so that we know
where we want to spend more time the next time we go back. Ravi is
professional, friendly and speaks excellent English. He was
communicative via email leading up to our arrival and often
checked to make sure all was well.
We highly recommend Ravi India Tours.

Jaipur - Chittorgarh - Udaipur - Kumbhalgarh - Ranakpur - Jodhpur
- Pushkar and back to New Delhi. We had a fabulous time. Ravi took
a great care of us. I enjoyed our numerous hours of conversations

My

India for the first time.
While we were traveling, Ravi took care of everything. We had an
awesome tour, and we were able to see many things that we might
not otherwise have known about. The tour guides were always very
professional, and had a lot of knowledge about the sites they took
us to see. The hotels we stayed in were amazing, and Ravi was
always waiting for us in the morning with cold bottles of water in
the car. I don\'t think my sister and I could have had a better
trip! We were able to see Mumbai, Jaipur, Agra, Delhi and Leh, and
each part of the trip was made special by Ravi and his planning!
While in Delhi, Ravi took us to his home for dinner, and it was a
very special experience to meet his family.
We loved meeting his wife and children and having the chance to
sit down and talk to a family! It definitely enhanced the
experience, and his wife is an amazing cook! The trip was very
well planned out, and we had the perfect amount of time in each
city.
We can\'t wait to go back and see India again with Ravi!

In a word, outstanding! Ravi went out of his way to accommodate us
during our recent tour. When we got stuck in the Delhi airport and
couldn\'t make it to Leh (due to weather), Ravi stopped what he
was doing, drove to the airport, picked us up, and provided us a
personal tour of Delhi for the day. He arranged a hotel for the
night and took us back to the airport the next morning. We
appreciate such extraordinary service from Ravi! Throughout our
experience, Ravi went out of his way to make us feel comfortable.
He was well prepared and everything was exactly how it was
explained. Everything was clean and comfortable. We thoroughly
enjoyed ourselves.
We would definitely book a tour with Ravi again, and I highly
recommend him to anyone.
Thanks Ravi

He is
punctual, professional, flexible, and make every effort to make
our trip as memorable as possible!
Just came back from a 4 day/ 3 night tour with Ravi Kumar Sasmal,
and Ravi did not disappoint! He booked the hotels for us at
exactly the price range we asked for, but the properties exceeded
our expectations! Ravi is a safe driver who enjoyed getting to
know us as much as we enjoyed getting to know him and his country.
He is punctual, professional, flexible, and make every effort to
make our trip as memorable as possible. When we stepped off the
train coming from Varanasi, what a comforting sight it was to see
Ravi waiting at the platform, clean car ready at the parking lot,
with cold bottles of water! Your service was great, Ravi! And I
thank you for taking such good care of us! Best wishes to you and
your family.

We
had a great trip to Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan India thanks to Ravi
Kumar Sasmal and his company!
Ravi our tour driver, was helpful, fun and accommodating. We were
not always interested in the standard sights and had several ideas
of our own, Ravi was flexible and efficient about helping us
arrange to see what we wanted.
The Toyota Innova Air-condition large private car provided was
very clean and comfortable and there was always cold bottled water
to drink. We enjoyed every day in Rajasthan and Agra and
appreciated the responsive service that made it so easy to
accomplish our ambitious itinerary.
Ravi made some reservations and some helpful recommendations that
also augmented our trip. They are the ones to contact and hire if
you are going to this part of India. It doesn't get any better
than these guys.
I highly recommend him to anyone.

We were so pleased
with the first tour we did with Ravi in 2011 that we booked up for
another.
We have just returned from a two week tour of Northern India,
including Haridwar, Shimla, Dhartamsala and Amritsar. Again Ravi
was charming, safe, knowledgeable, flexible and arranged
everything impeccably. Highly recommended and we would love to use
him again for another tour.

Finding Ravi Kumar Sasmal as a driver for my daughter and her

Finding Ravi Kumar Sasmal as a driver for my daughter and her
friends was like finding a rare gem! I am the proud mother of Ally
whose comments are also posted here. When my daughter and her
friends were invited to be members of their classmate's wedding
party in Chennai they decided to take the opportunity to see
Rajasthan as well. They are hardworking medical students who have
done extensive international work with underserved populations.
They have traveled both with small groups and independently and
are used to low budget, no frills travel. In fact, they were busy
working in Africa and South America prior to the wedding so I
volunteered to prepare their itinerary. I spent endless hours
researching travel sites, guide books and forums! Even though they
are very experienced travelers I was convinced hiring a driver
would be crucial to their having a safe and relaxed visit in
northern India. All my research was worthwhile because it led me
to Ravi! He could not have been more patient or helpful in helping
me arrange for his services. He made the whole process so easy and
it was all done via email! I knew the girls were on a limited
budget and a driver was a luxury but I am convinced that in the
long run they saved money by hiring Ravi. They would have had to
spend several more stressful days trying to negotiate
transportation, taxis, hotels, guides and finding good meals and
still not have been able to see as much as they were able to see
with Ravi. He also gave them invaluable tips in how to negotiate
various situations so they would not be overcharged. They were
able to travel safely, comfortably and efficiently with a
wonderful driver who they now consider a good friend. He picked
them up and delivered them back to the airport. He introduced them
to his lovely family making a personal and lasting memory of their
trip to Delhi. From all reports he went above and beyond their
expectations and was a skilled professional and yet warm, kind and
extremely personable. To put it mildly Ravi got rave reviews!
While the girls enjoyed their adventures with Ravi I was able to
sleep more soundly knowing he was keeping his promise to me that
he would keep them safe and treat them like family. When the girls
went to India I had some concerns fueled by recent events in the
news. I wanted them to be safe and meet lovely, memorable people
along the way, see the beauty of the country and learn more about
its history and culture. Ravi made it all possible. Now they have
returned and my concerns are for Ravi! I want him to have only
kind, considerate and memorable clients! When I first found his
site I was impressed that his previous clients offered to answer
email questions and I contacted two who had the highest regard for
Ravi.
# If you have any questions feel free to email me at
gjr1225@hotmail.com
Many thanks to Ravi and Mili!

Ravi

Ravi Kumar sasmal is experienced, reliable, personable, and an
expert guide at showing the India he knows and loves. He made our
India adventure a truly special one. We were two women travelers
setting out to visit the Golden Triangle plus Amritsar and
Varanasi. I would definitely recommend a guide for first time
travelers and especially for women travelers. The task of planning
all the details was daunting until we found Ravi through his
excellent reviews. It was one of the best decisions we made. We
gave him the cities and the number of days we wanted to spend
there and he did the rest, driving us or reserving train or air
travel, booking the hotels and arranging for tours with English
speaking guides to show us the highlights. He drove us to/from the
train stations and to the airport (which was not part of the
tour). All this and his pricing was very reasonable. Ravi was
always early and arrived with a clean car stocked with snacks and
water. He even made sure the windows were clean so we could take
photos. He was an expert driver and a pleasure to ride with,
always upbeat and friendly. He imparted information on sights,
geography, and history; insights on culture and religion; amusing
stories and humor and answered our wide range of questions. He
took the initiative to stop for photo opportunities and even
pulled over to ask a man with a camel cart if we could ride on the
cart while he took photos of us. Another highlight was being
invited to his home for dinner to meet his wife and children and
then walk through his neighborhood to a local marketplace. It was
a bonus to meet his family and gain the insight into every-day
life. Our tour with Ravi was instrumental in making our journey
the amazing and incredible experience it was. He started as our
guide but became our friend.
I highly recommend him ( RAVI INDIA
TOURS ) and would contact him first to assure his availability
should I visit India again.

Two friends and I recently toured the Golden Triangle with Ravi
Kumar Sasmal, and we absolutely cannot imagine the trip without
him!
Even as very experienced international travelers, the three of us
thought that as a young (mid 20s) group of females we would feel
safer in North India with a guide. Without a doubt, having someone
as kind, trustworthy, and personable as Ravi made an incredible
difference in our experience. We felt completely safe and well
cared for, but at the same we were able to tailor our visit to our
budget and travel preferences in a way that preserved our sense of
spontaneity and allowed us to feel we had more than a superficial
site-seeing experience. Though we had all traveled extensively in
many other areas of the world, all of my travel companions and I
felt that India presented a unique set of challenges (as well as
many unique rewards). Ravi was able to introduce us to the
country, orient us, prepare us for specific challenges we faced,
and, above all, make us feel we had a friend looking out for us
throughout the process. I\'ve always found the cliche to be true
that it is the people you meet that make a trip memorable;
learning from the kindhearted, soft-spoken, and good-humored Ravi--
as well as meeting his wonderful family-- were truly highlights of
my travels. Beyond even being a lovely person to travel with, Ravi
is a true professional. The car we traveled in was spotlessly
clean, extremely comfortable, air-conditioned, and fully stocked
with water. Our itinerary was well-planned and well-executed but
also flexible, and the guides Ravi hired were uniformly excellent.
Our hotels (which Ravi books himself) were all very comfortable
and clean (despite the fact that we were doing the trip on a
smaller budget than many). And the food! We asked Ravi to direct
us to less-expensive food choices to fit our student budget, and
he took us to some local places that were by far the best food we
ate in India. In short, I would recommend Ravi unconditionally
(and in fact already have to several friends. He is an experienced
professional and a kind, warm-hearted individual with an
incredible story of how he came to start his own tour company. I
feel very lucky that the three of us were able to travel with him!

We had an amazing
holiday in India thanks Ravi!
We had an amazing holiday in India thanks Ravi! When we planed to
spend our next holiday in India, we asked Ravi to help us to
organize our trip. Ravi was highly recommend to us from our best
friend Daniela, that already travelled with Ravi. So Ravi
organized us 2 weeks tour in Rajasthan and Varanasi from 23rd
march to 7th of april 2013.
We had at each nightover very good hotels, every thing was
organized in all details, we didn\'t have to worry about anything. Ravi did every thing to make us feel good and relaxed. He is an
excellent and very safe driver, that is very important, because to
drive in India is a very crazy story... So we were feeling very
safe in every situation.
Next to his good driving, Ravi is a very honest and respectable
person, that you can trust with closed eyes. He is more punctual
than a swiss clock, his sense of humor and his good temper made
our trip very pleasant. We could ask him a lot of things about
India, religion, history, he could always give us very good and
interesting information's. He his very helpful and friendly.
He also invited us at his home for dinner, so we could meet his
wife and is two children. It was a great moment to experience an
Indian family, the way they live, their warm welcome, the
excellent dinner, the good education of the children!
We could not have a better experience for our first travel to
India. Even the car was perfect. A lot of space for our long legs,
central air-conditioning, cold water provided from Ravi every
day... So, as we told before,
we had a wonderful time in India and we can recommend Ravi and his
company ( RAVI INDIA TOURS ) to the most hard to please people!
Thank you Ravi!

He is honest and
reliable and I recommend him highly!!!
We have known Ravi Kumar Sasmal for several Years now, even before
he ventured on his own. We have been in contact and used his
services several times. Last week we were stuck in Varanasi and
called him for advice. He immediately told us--even though he was
in the middle of driving another client--that a friend of his
would call us asap. Within minutes we got a call and we were able
to remedy our situation. Ravi took us to Jaipur, the pink city,
which he knows like the back of his hand, as well as the rest of
Rajasthan. Ravi is an impeccable driver with a great car that can
accommodate 5-6 people and their luggage. He is honest and
reliable and I recommend him highly. His knowledge about hotels,
restaurant and transport is such that one would be unwise not to
heed his recommendations. My wife and I consider him a friend.

We had a fabulous 18 day holiday touring Rajasthan and visiting
the Taj Mahal in Agra with Ravi Kumar Sasmal in October/November
2012. At the start of the tour he took us to his apartment in
Delhi to meet his wife Milli and his two children Krishna and
Siddhart. Mrs. Sasmal ( Milli ) provided us with wonderful meal.
As our driver guide on tour Ravi was very friendly, flexible,
informative, knowledgeable, reliable, humorous and polite. Ravi
came highly recommended by our friends, Phil and Jenny Perlin who
are returning themselves for a second tour with him of India in
April 2013. We were extremely pleased with our tour, especially
the places we visited, the wildlife Ravi managed to spot on our
behalf whilst driving, the hotel accommodation and the price we
paid for the holiday. We certainly have already and would in
future recommend him to anyone thinking of arranging their own
tour of India. If you would like any further information from us,

All in all it was a great choice and we highly recommend Ravi:
My boyfriend and I have just come back from Rajasthan on an
incredible 2 week journey with our very wisely chosen guide, Ravi
Kumar Sasmal. We sent requests to loads of companies, all of which
were at least 50% more expensive! We\'d done quite a lot of
research on the sorts of things we wanted to do and places we
wanted to see, but thought we should see what the professionals
think. Ravi\'s itinerary came back by far the closest to ours, but
with some stunning looking additions, and it didn\'t disappoint!
Every beautiful place we were taken, we were given some background
on. From the incredible sunset at the Monsoon palace in Udaipur,
through the sprawling walls of Kumbhalgarh Fort, all the way to
the twists and turns of the Amber Fort in Jaipur, all 1400km we
rode in cool, air-conditioned comfort in Ravi\'s Toyota Innova,
cleaned spotless every morning, and even during visits to
attractions! All in all it was a great choice and we highly
recommend Ravi: a great guide, safe driver and a very pleasant and
honest person! To find him visit website:www.rajasthan-tour.in .
Thank you Ravi for making our stay in India so special!!

My wife and I wish him
all the best for his endeavors.
Ravi Kumar Sasmal drove my wife and I from Udaipur to Delhi in
January this Year (2013). We had him 6 days and 5 nights on the
road and then engaged him for another day in Delhi. We travelled
in his air-conditioned Toyota Innova. We recommend Ravi highly. He
was professional in his conduct. His car was clean (and he cleaned
it every morning before he picked us up for the day), the seats
wore clean white coverings and the car ran without any protest.
Being a keen photographer I really appreciated the clear clean
windows. Speaking of that, Ravi very obligingly stopped whenever I
asked him to; he even made suggestions about locations, view
points and subjects. He was punctual, refused my offers of alcohol
and was a very careful driver. He did not push tourist-trap
merchants. He suggested an evening musical (without us asking),
Mohabbat the Taj, when we were at Agra. We enjoyed this
tremendously. He picked us up after the show. Some days he picked
us up early too, such as 6.15 am for the Taj Mahal tour. He was
not stand-offish but at the same time was not intrusive. He was
acknowlegeable about places and local fauna and flora. He was very
proud of his family; he invited us to his flat to meet his wife
and children where we had a very delicious lunch prepared by his
wife. This time we refused his offer of wine as it was early in
the afternoon and we had some more sight-seeing to do. As I said
above, I recommend Ravi highly. I would not hesitate to engage him
again for a future trip. My wife and I wish him all the best for
his endeavors.

Hi! My name is Vijay. I was born in India but got adopted and

Kumar Sasmal and
he was awesome!! I definitely recommend him for your tour of
India. He showed and told us a lot about India, that we would have
never know. He was very polite and well groomed for every business
day. He drove us around India very safely in his very nice looking
Premium Air-Condition Toyota Innova Car. He even showed us where
his family lived and how the neighboring surrounds were like. The
tour package was a awesome deal and experience. Thank you Ravi and

HIGHLY recommend Ravi and would be happy to talk with anyone!!!
4 of us took a 7 day trip of the golden
triangle with Ravi India Tours in December of 2012. He was a true
asset during our trip and we recommend him unreservedly. Sitting
in our living room thousands of miles away, we were so worried
about how things would go in a strange place with a driver/guide
we had never met. We did our research and read all the reviews for
Ravi and still were skeptical, till we see it our selves. Ravi is
what each and every review says. He is kind, considerate,
punctual, attentive to your needs and a very safe driver. We were
traveling with 2 kids 11 and 13 and he was very helpful in every
way to make our trip comfortable. The roomy suv/car was always
clean, stocked with water and tissues. He also arranged for the
guides in each city. His price is also quite reasonable. He had
great suggestions during the trip. We have travelled with other
drivers in India and Ravi Kumar Sasmal is in a league of his own.
We HIGHLY recommend Ravi and would be happy to talk with anyone.

We hope to take more trips in India with Ravi in the coming Years.

support. He gave us a lot of good tips and ideas. The tour was a
great success! We were 4 people and Ravi booked a tempo traveller
car with driver and escort for us. The driver, Mr. Kuldeep, was
excellent and calm in every situation, even in the confusing
traffic. The car was comfortable and clean again every day. Mr.
Balbir was a very good guide and escort. Thanks to him we learned
a lot about the Indian culture, the different religions and about
the life of Indian people. We visited many famous temples and
wonderful forts. We saw sand dunes and the desert for the first
time! We travelled through many different landscapes. We visited
places which are not mentionned in common travel guides. Mr.
Balbir arranged everything on the tour and helped to comply with
our requests everytime. We could not have managed the tour without
him. We could visit the house of Ravi and his family for a lunch.
Thanks to these three people we have now a small idea what Indian

our every need, ensuring the hotels were in the right location and
of the right standard. His vehicle is comfortable and clean and
well driven. Importantly he always made sure we had plenty of
bottled water available (free. He took us off the beaten track
occasionally to see sights that are not part of a standard tour
package from the big companies. He made it more personal and
relevant to us and so we had a really enjoyable full itinerary
with many wonderful memories and hundreds of photo opportunities
many of which Ravi spotted. We saw not only the historical side of
India but the real India of today with all its colour and life but
also its grinding poverty present behind the endless smiling faces
of its people. We highly recommend Ravi Kumar Sasmal and his

helpful for a trip of three weeks )Ravi Kumar Sasmal knows very
much about history, places of interest and the habits in India.
Without him we wouldn't meet so many interesting and lovely people
on India, downtown Delhi or at the countryside. He loves the
nature, animal and the people everywhere. Ravi is also an
excellent driver with a long experience, we had never a dangerous
situation on our trip even in the Indian way of driving is a

and we can highly recommend Ravi and his company Ravi India Tours

spending day by day with someone, you need to find the balance

It is with great
pleasure that we get to offer our most heart-felt and appreciative
recommendation for the great Ravi Sasmal. Ravi is a wonderful and
caring person, a knowing and experienced guide, a courteous and
fastidious man and is also a spectacular driver (a true artist
behind the wheel which we guarantee you will appreciate). He is
deeply knowledgeable and caring about his native country, and
knows his way around forwards and back. The entire time we we
spent under Ravi's care we felt entirely confident in his
abilities, his recommendations and his sincere desire for our time
in Rajasthan to be as perfect as he could make it. "Rav" took real
pains to understand what we were looking for, and we were always
impressed that he paid attention to our tastes in every thing from
music to architecture to hotels to food ( we have a passion for
papaya and found that Ravi would have one for us in his freshly
cleaned vehicle most every morning). That's the kind of guy he is,
and take it from us who have had plenty of drivers and guides - a
gent as fine is Ravi is hard to find!
Finally, there is also never any question of trust with Ravi, here
is a man you can have complete confidence it and depend on 100%.
On time, honest, and never greedy, toy will find him always
reliable and on your side. If you are looking for a man to get you
around Delhi, through Rajasthan and beyond - look no further, you
have found a great treasure in Ravi Sasmal. CW & SB, NYC, 2012.

writing this as a recommendation for Ravi Sasmal of Ravi's India
Tours. We have no connection with him or his company apart from
having him as our tour organiser and driver during our 16 day tour
of Delhi and Rajasthan in October 2011.
In summary, we recommend him unreservedly and were very pleased
with his arrangements for our tour, his flexibility in catering to
our needs, his safe driving and his willingness to do extra
things. His English is excellent and he was courteous at all
times. By the end of the tour he became a friend..
While planning our tour we approached several companies for price
quotes and he was the cheapest. We looked at his suggested
itineraries and adjusted his suggestions for our preferences. He
accepted our suggestions and made some further excellent
suggestions of his own. We kept in touch by regular emails and he
even telephoned us once to confirm the final details.
Of course it is a risk hiring someone in a different country who
you have never met and even more of a risk sending money as a
deposit. Equally it is a risk for Ravi to accept bookings from
people who might never turn up. We sent a small deposit to him by
bank transfer so that he could pay for the reservation bookings of
the hotels. It was arranged to pay him the balance when we
arrived, which we duly did by cashing of the travellers cheques we
had taken with us (importing rupees into India is illegal).
We were duly met at the airport by one of Ravi's colleagues and
our tour began in Delhi. We met Ravi after two days (he was
finishing a tour for another guest) and we continued around
Rajasthan. The itinerary was altered slightly according to
circumstances and we were always asked if we wanted to undertake
another activity, or rest, or go to another place. He frequently
added suggested activities for our consideration. At all times he
would answer our questions about Indian culture, the Hindu
religion, his life and family and was very interested in our way
of life in Britain. He told us how to avoid tourist scams and when
we said that we liked eating at roadside cafes instead of tourist
restaurants he happily took us to selected ones for lunch and ate
with us. He has a great sense of humour and regaled us with lots
of jokes and stories.
On two occasions he took us to meet people he knew so that we
could see their way of life. At the end of the tour we were taken
to his apartment in Delhi to meet his wife Milli and his two
children Krishna and Srinath. Milli provided us with a beautiful
lunch.
Travelling with Ravi was far better than being in a coach party or
a small group tour. If you are looking for a driver and guide for
Rajasthan, Delhi or other parts of Northern India, we highly
recommend him. We fully intend to book a tour of North India with
him for 2012/2013. You can find his website at
www.rajasthan-tour.in

We were fortunate to have Ravi and his company ( RAVI INDIA TOURS
/ WEBSITE: www.rajasthan-tour.in ) as our driver and tour guide on
our trip through Rajasthan in September/October 2011. He looked
after us very well and was at all times most helpful and
considerate. Ravi is extremely professional, trustworthy and
reliable. He knows all the places and roads and navigated us
safely through the often chaotic and daunting Indian traffic. He
took care of everything. We never had to worry about a thing and
could just lean back and enjoy our trip. His cheerfulness and
sense of humour were great travel conpanions, too. We have no
hesitation in recommending him and his company Ravi India Tours to
any visitors.

Ravi
Kumar Sasmal / www.rajasthan-tour.in - is an amazing tour guide!
My son and I spent 3 days traveling in Delhi and Agra with Ravi as
our guide. We will not forget his kindness, hospitality, and
trustworthy service. I felt I could trust Ravi and that he would
keep us safe and keep us from being taken advantage of. That was
huge! I was able to relax and enjoy the great experience that Ravi
gave us in our touring. The time spent traveling with Ravi was
like time traveling with a friend. He got to know us and gained an
understanding of what we were interested in seeing and doing. He
then gave us the experience that we wanted not just the basic
tour. Ravi was friendly but not intrusive. The perfect guide! My
only regret is that we didn\'t know about him sooner and that we didn\'t have Ravi as our guide for our entire trip in India. I
would highly recommend Ravi to anyone traveling in India. Rebecca

July/August 2011 I travelled two weeks
through Rajasthan with Ravi India Tours http://www.rajasthan-tour.in.
Ravi is a very nice and honest person who has a huge knowledge
about Rajasthan and India at all. I never had to worry about
anything. He organized just everything. Hotels and Restaurants
were more than good and his flexibility is just perfect. He drives
you safely and very accomplished wherever you want and he always
knows your wishes before you tell it. There is always enough time
for taking pictures and to rest. I really recommend his services
and his person for any Tour in India. If I return to India, I will
engage Ravi India Tours again.

He is totally reliable, organized, warmhearted and knows how to

I have used Ravi Kumar Sasmal /'s www.rajasthan-tour.in>;
services for 2 trips to India, Rajasthan and Southern India, for
a total of 5 weeks. Travelling with Ravi added a dimension to my
trip that made it so much more personal. We visited in the homes
of families Ravi knew and went to special places that are off
the normal tourist path. Ravi was extremely knowledgable about
the area and an excellent safe driver. On my first trip I had
another driver for the first 2 days that I did not care for, so
I have a basis for comparison. I basically decided the major
places where I wanted to go, booked some of the hotels myself or
went without reservations and had Ravi\'s assistance in finding
hotels on the spot as I wanted to be flexible. I would highly
recommend Ravi.www.rajasthan-tour.in
When I return to India - Nepal, the next area I want
to see, I will use Ravi.

I went on the Golden
Triangle Tour with Ravi Kumar Sasmal in April 2011. He was
fantastic! He met us each morning with a smile on his face and
maintained his positive energy throughout the day. He carefully
and skillfully navigated the busy and treacherous Indian roads in
Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and the highways in between. He regularly
stopped for photo opportunities and was quick to point out things
of interest. He expressed as much excitement showing us the sites
as we felt in seeing them. His caring nature, friendly
disposition, reliability and concern for our safety and enjoyment
made the trip relaxing, fun and informative. An all around
honorable, patient and generous person. Highly recommended. Megan

moments with local people, we've visited the most beautiful
palaces and temples, learnt a lot about Indian culture, enjoyed

pictures. In addition, Ravi is one of the best driver in India, we
felt at all times absolutely safe and in good hands. We also
appreciate very much his very pleasant quiet nature and warmth.

It is quite a long time we travelled with Ravi Kumar Sasmal,
actually it was in October 2005, he was then just a very good
driver of an Indian travel agency, but very soon we realized that
he was and probably still is much more than a driver. Without him
India would not have been India, his English is very good. by the
way neither was ours, but his friendly attitude, his helpful
knowledge of how the way it goes in this vast country makes a trip
with him an unforgettable experience. Meanwhile we have traveled
all over the world, but INDIA still is a brilliant jewel in our
necklace of travels due to his excellent guiding and driving. It
is a pleasure for me to listen that meanwhile he has founded his
own small company and I can recommend with all my heart his
services.

In early 2010 we spent a month with Ravi travelling in
Rajasthan and Gujarat. He\'s an excellent and considerate
driver, but he\'s also extremely well informed about all aspects
of Indian life, culture, history and geography, and he shares
this knowledge with his clients ina very engaging and
entertaining manner. In addition to this he is a tremendously
likeable travelling companion, endlessly attentive to the
visitor\'s needs and wishes, solving whatever little problems
come along, and finding ways to make their trip even more
interesting and enjoyable than the itinerary promises. He takes
you to amazing places that the tour operators don\'t even know
about, and introcuces you to extraordinary people there. You
could not wish for anyone better to show you the real Incredible
India.

for details such as clean car, 24-7 service for water, fruits and
biscuits; pleasing and safe driving; extraordinary car-stops for

Very save trip by a trustful driver. First Ravi is a very well
trained and experienced driver, which seems quiet important in
this chaotic trafic. We were travelling along the rajastan with
ravi for 14 days and it was all worth the money.Just like same
experience like the spain had.For us, the best way of knowin that
incredible part of the world. The distances are huge, but with
that air conditioning car, they make smaller. The best thing: Ravi,
the driver. He speaks a very good english (not everyone in India
does, as it\\\'s thought)Other tourist told us that their drivers
used to be kinda cheating people, and always tried to eat and
dinner for free. Ravi always let us freedom to do whatever we
want, and he werent with us all the time. He just dropped in the
hotel and let us discovered India with or own eyes. At the end of
the trip. he invited us to have dinner in his house with his
family. Highly recomended. Josef And Sophie
