Vikasyadav's 5 days trip to Jodhpur

Overall experience was great however the hotel at Jaisalmer "The Elite castle" was not upto mark. Doors were not ok additionally bed was broken and washroom was not clean. I have already requested to give me deluxe hotel but the hotel was not even equal to 2 star.

Sreemai's 6 days trip to Jodhpur

"I had a wonderful experience with Back to Holidays. We got good hotel rooms, and Preeti helped us with everything. She is very kind and kept checking on us to ensure we were comfortable. However, the driver was on phone calls almost the entire trip, all 7 days, which made us feel afraid." Had good time in all the places we visited

Sreemai Usa Bengaluru

Narendra's 7 days trip to Jodhpur

Plus points: Planning done and support provided by Mohit was really good. Cab driver Ramkrishna ji was very kind and good person. He is very pention and cleaver driver, knows every point and places. Also he suggested some good places where we enjoyed local tasty food. Things need to improve - Hotels were not upto the mark except Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.Service and room conditions are not so good. Worst hotel was at Mount abu. Next rank -The Balam in Udaipur. As we paid for 3 star hotels but the services and facilities were like 1 star hotel for these 2 places.

Amrit's 5 days trip to Jodhpur

The overall trip was good apart from some bad experiences. The cab driver was really good and always punctual and took care of comfort of the passengers. Hotels were good as well except one hotel in jaisalmer where i had to change 3 rooms for multiple reason. We found a rat in first room, in 2nd room washroom there were cochroaches and in 3rd room the bedsheets and pillow were dirty as well the previous garbage bag was not cleared. It really pissed of my mind. 2nd things i wanted to talk about that the travel company which has provided cab asked for 500 rs extra just for a site visit which was not under the plan but comes on the way from jodhpur to jaipur. It was hardly a 2km diversion from the main road. And aprt from that i feel the plan could have been done little better. Because most of time went on cab travelling from 1 city to other. I felt either 1city could have been removed or there should have been 1more day added. I covered udaypur, jaisalmer, jodhpur and jaipur in 7days and 6nights. I will suggest to add one more day as 7day is not enough and you need to rush to cover places which is not a good experience. Regarding shopping do your own research because driver might suggest some places which actually might be constlier and first time travellers can easily fall under this.
