We took a package of 11 days for Rajasthan trip and he made sure that we cover as much as possible during these 11 days, on hotels front his suggestions were exceptional good and made sure our c

We had good support from their admin team too, who called us multiple times to check upon the trip. Overall we had an amazing experience and took back good memories.

    I recently had an amazing travel experience in Jaisalmer, thanks to the customized package offerings by My Own Journey. From start to finish, the team provided constant assistance that made the trip hassle-free and enjoyable. I especially want to mention the exceptional driver service. Suresh, our d
    river, was fantastic—helpful, supportive, and always smiling, which added an extra charm to the journey. The package included a comfortable hotel stay, local sightseeing, an exhilarating Jaisalmer Dune Safari, and unforgettable desert camping under the stars. I couldn’t have asked for a more seamless and well-organized experience. I highly recommend My Own Journey as your travel partner for an unforgettable trip to Jaisalmer!

    Vijay's 4 days trip to Bikaner

    We booked a 6 days and 5 nights trip to Rajasthan from MY OWN JOURNEY Except on day 1 , Hotels provided are good enough room size are big However for rest of the days there was no confirmation from travel agent which hotel to stay. Note: we booked the package almost 3 months prior to trip. Still on
    travel day there was no assurance where we will be staying. TRAVEL AGENT SHOULD HAVE PROVIDE CONFIRMATION IN ADVANCE Otherwise hotel stay was good. Vehicle / driver - vehicle we hot is clean and in very good condition. However I felt the driver little bit arrogant In one instance, he refused to dropped us at restaurants for dinner and we have few seniors citizens with us moreover the restaurant was hardly within 1km range So that thing I didn't like. Overall the trip went well Thanks My Own Journey team.

    Recently I have completed my trip to golden triangle (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) with my family. This trip was booked with Trip sailor on travel triangle platform. Initially I was hesitant to use travel triangle since it is a online platform but travel triangle support helped in clearing initial doubts a
    bout the platform and then I connected with Preeti Aggarwal from TripSailor. Preeti was helpful and approachable throughout the tour and provided best itinerary with in our budget. During the tour as well she was available all the way over the call. Hotels and Cab arrangements were also good and in particular cab coordinator Parvinder was very friendly and provided great service . Overall It was pleasant experience with Tripsailor.

    Thank you for the wonderful 2 night 3 days stay in Jaisalmer. We had some great times and created wonderful lifetime memories. A hassel free travel. I would also like to thank Mr. Hemant Singh ji from the bottom of my heart for his availability and humble nature. Last but not the least I thank and
    really appreciate Mr. Man Singh ji our driver for 2 days who made the sight seeing more enjoyable. Stay at Jaigarh palace brought the feel of staying at a palace itself. Heritage Juma camp provided a great hospitality and we could feel of the rich culture of Rajasthan. The food too was awesome. We had some spare time and spend the 3rd day at Pol Haveli (arranged by Hemant Singhji) at a roof top restaurant which was another great add on to the trip. Looking forward for more such trips in future. Stay at Jaigarh palace, Hospitality at Heritage Juma camp, Heavenly breeze at Vyas chatri, Journey from Jaisalmer to Sand dunes (thanks to Man Singhji), Kuldhara village a must visit place.
