The Golden Rules of Retirement Travel

By Stacey Lastoe

This is part of a collection of stories celebrating the many shapes retirement travel can take. Read more here.

Bonni and Bob Gumport travel regularly in their retirement. Not beholden to one short vacation a year (they average seven big ones), their compounding experience has allowed them to develop a code of rules by which they abide— tips and tricks to use wherever they go. After one too many of the small rooms common in boutique hotels, for example, they’ve cut them out entirely. Also out of the question are walking tours within two days of arrival in a new destination, as they prefer to settle in. Their daughter Lauren describes them as “pros on retiree travel,” but they are not the only ones with advice to give.

There are former museum curators who have learned not to overbook themselves; solo travelers who always learn a little of the local language. Adherence to anyone’s rules will never ensure a vacation free of hiccups, where no flight is ever delayed , every tour is worth the hours put in, and every meal sublime . But learning from others may improve your chances of a good time—even when things inevitably go sideways. We’ve spoken to over 20 retired travelers to hear how their Golden Years have informed the way that they travel. Below, find some of their savviest secrets for better trips.

1. Take a ride on the hop-on, hop-off bus tour

If she’s traveling in a city that offers one of those double-decker hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tours, Denver -based Heidi Burtoni, 65, who goes on multiple trips per year, is definitely stepping aboard. Burtoni says it’s a great way to figure out the rest of her itinerary, get tips from other travelers and the tour guide, and get a feel for the new city. “It’s the first thing I do to get the lay of the land,” says Burtoni. Her previous career in sales means the frequent solo traveler will “talk to anybody,” so these tours also open the door for socializing and making connections.

Know what to skip—“whether that means avoiding tourist traps, the most sweltering hours at fairs, or not putting yourself in danger by flagging a taxi when it's unsafe," says Lynn Zelevansky.

2. Figure out what to avoid

For Paul and Lynn Zelevansky (77 and 76, respectively), travel is less about hitting all the top spots and more about learning where not to go, “whether that means avoiding tourist traps, the most sweltering hours at fairs, or not putting yourself in danger by flagging a taxi when it’s unsafe.” They visit the Venice Biennale in fall, now, rather than at the opening, to avoid the worst of the crushes—it also helps them more effectively skirt the city's infamous pickpockets (Lynn's wallet was stolen on a crowded vaporetto ferry in 2022).

3. BYOTP (Bring Your Own Toilet Paper)

“Toilet paper in Europe is very scratchy … not good for sensitive parts,” says Florida native Karen Butera, an avid pickleball player who often travels with the sport in mind. Whenever overseas, she always travels with her own toilet paper. Butera, 66, is taking her granddaughter to see Taylor Swift in Paris this summer, and, yes, she will be packing TP—creature comforts are even more crucial on the road than they are at home.

4. Don’t overschedule

Packed-to-the-brim itineraries used to be J. Patrice Marandel’s MO, but these days, the former chief curator at Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is more keen on scheduling “plenty of time for the unexpected.” Gone are the nonstop days with planned breakfasts, lunches, and dinners; instead, Marandel, 79, leaves room for the possibility of something unexpected and “exciting.” It often pays off.

5. Pack light

Buffalo, New York-based Lisa LaLonde, 74, and her travel companion Antoinette Judelsohn, 70, whom she’s been traveling with for over a decade, are pros at packing light . The pals can manage for a month on very little, relying on the versatility of black leggings and black tops, says LaLonde. The trick? Develop a travel uniform, bring just a few versions, and wash undergarments as necessary, says Judelsohn. Big suitcases stuffed to the brim with a ton of different outfits are more of a hassle than a luxury. “They’re a pain in the neck if you’re getting on a train or off a train … or moving from one city to another,” says LaLonde.

“Anybody and their brother with an RV travels on Sunday,” warns Jenelle Jones.

6. Don't get (too) excited

Judelsohn, a former teacher who met LaLonde when they worked together at the same school in Buffalo, has another travel rule that’s served her well: Letting go of expectations. “I never get excited about a trip,” says Judelsohn. Instead, the savvy traveler lets the excitement emerge based on what's in front of her in the moment.

7. Avoid traveling on Sundays

RVer Jenelle Jones, 64, is against traveling on Sundays. As she puts it, “anybody and their brother with an RV travels on Sunday.” Long weekend RVers who have to get back for work on Monday use Sundays to head home, so retired Jones, 64, simply avoids the day altogether. It's also, according to her, the “biggest day to get in an RV wreck”— yet another reason to sit back and relax. You have nowhere you need to be, after all. Take advantage.

8. Learn a few words of the local language

Charlotte Simpson , whose blog Traveling Black Widow documents her travels (100 countries and counting so far), says her number one travel rule is to learn a few key phrases—hello, goodbye, please, thank you—in the dominant language of the places she visits. Simpson says her efforts are always well received. “I just find, inevitably, it sort of stuns people when I even just say good morning.” Simpson, who prefers not to reveal her age, says she gets a lot out of bridging the language gap with just a few words: “It just makes people so friendly and so happy that you took this moment to learn [their language].”

9. Travel slower

When you cram too much into a single trip, “the whole experience just kind of becomes a blur,” say Gillian Batt, 43, and Stephanie Myers, 51, whose blog Our Freedom Years documents their early retirement and subsequent travels. The couple, who hail from Ontario, Canada, say staying in one place for an extended period of time helps them avoid travel burnout, keep costs low, and enjoy the whole experience more. All that rushing around on limited PTO? Well behind them.

For RVers like Norm, keeping things flexible is key.

10. Go your own way

The pandemic crystallized things for Kim Kelly Stamp , 65, and her wife Liz Schick, 62, who left it all behind and decided to travel around the country in a red 21-foot teardrop trailer. They’ve since gotten really good at going with the flow. “We know where we’re going to stay along the way, but we hold that really loosely and give ourselves the opportunity to make something else happen,” explains Stamp. This approach led them to Laurel, Mississippi, where the HGTV show Hometown —of which Stamp and Schick are big fans of, is based. Instead of following a regimented schedule, they followed their passion when the road forked, literally.

11. Keep an open heart and mind

In spite of being seasoned travelers, John and Bev Martin, 60, who started the RetirementTravelers site to share their journey with others, admit they still need to remind themselves that they can’t control everything. “We have to be patient and receptive to the lessons the world is trying to teach,” says the couple. One that keeps coming up? “Retirement is not the time to stop dreaming about new and different routes in life.”

12. Do your research

The Gumports appreciate getting a taste of the local culture wherever they are traveling, and they’re not opposed to tours or experiences that deliver on this front. But Bonni has a few words of advice: “If you’re looking at purchasing something that uses words such as ‘bespoke, artisanal, farm-to-table’ and more fluffy adjectives, make sure these experiences are as authentic as they sound.” Read reviews thoroughly and take the time to research before you buy, advises Bonni. It's fun to be spontaneous, but it's easy to be misled by clever marketing and buzzwords.

13. It’s a marathon—not a sprint

It wasn’t long before Brenda Huyhn adopted—and adapted— a popular van-lifer rule: Don’t travel more than 3 hours, get in by 3 p.m., and stay at least 3 nights. Huyhn, who at 47 retired earlier than many, is adamant about not trying to do too much in one day to avoid burnout. She and her husband take their time, prioritizing “quality over quantity” with their stops and stays. It makes the entire experience all the richer.

14. You can always head home

Diana Petterson is on track to hit the 100-country mark just in time for her 70th birthday in 2026. But as much as the Black solo traveler loves seeing the world, she’s not afraid to ditch a trip if something isn’t working out. “Wherever I am in the world, if for whatever reason I am uncomfortable, or I don't feel well … I’m going to plop down that credit card , and get home.”

15. Start the day early to avoid the crowds

Artist Simma Liebman, 76, enjoys going to museums while visiting new cities and places. But since the retiree is immunocompromised, she plans these outings a little differently. Now Liebman hits the museums “as early in the day as possible” and masks up while taking in the art "unless there are very few people inside.” Whatever your motivation, rising early is something you can be sure the hordes of 20-something backpackers won't be doing. Beat them to all the best spots.

“I like a very good hotel, but not necessarily the best,” says Betty. Focus on getting the right location.

16. Base yourself strategically

Betty, 80, an art collector who declined to share her last name, has found that mid-sized hotels (meaning about 200 rooms) in central locations, with just enough of the services she wants and needs, do the job. “I like a very good hotel, but not necessarily the best,” says Betty. As long as you have the basics covered, it's really about location, location, location.

17. Don’t wait for tomorrow

Instead of putting off travel for a later date, Chicago -based Ruthie Maldonado-Delwiche advises those interested in exploring the world to get out there and “do it now.” Because “tomorrow isn’t promised,” Maldonado-Delwiche, who’s been traveling since she retired in 2017, says. Don't wait if there’s something you want to do or a place you want to visit.

Former psychiatrist Ann Heaslett, 60, who aims to run the six major world marathons in her retirement, feels exactly the same way. “There’s no time like the present.”

Nature provides us air to breathe, water to drink, soil to make a home and the land to stay. It gives us fruits, vegetables and grains to eat. Nature is a precious gift given to us by God. Hence, we should enjoy nature without disturbing its balance.

I am surprised to see that they are unaware of my refund. I have been chasing Amit and Manoj for the last 3 years !!! 15200 rupees is the refund pending since 3 years. This was a trip taken during covid and due to the problems, lots of services like day trip, food etc were not provided . I understood the scenario and accepted when they said that they will refund once things are normal I have all the documents of our conversation. Sharing a few of those. Attaching the booking details also. I cannot share any more details now as instructed by my lawyer Narayanan

The agency is worst is multiple ways, only 25% is given below…. 1. Product- Hotels provided are not upto the standards and false commitments, they will apologise later saying that is only available. We booked for 3star but got pathetic rooms. 2. Communication- They outsource everything to different agencies and do not communicate. We end up paying for that is committed in the original package. Eg - Parking charges. The driver provided has no idea of the itinerary and takes his routes as details are not provided by Golden vacations. 3. Extremely rude employees- When you demand the services, they start getting abusive. This agency has spoiled our complete vacation. Suggest others travellers prior to booking to think 1000 times before finalising thru this agency.

Worst Experince

Jyoti Jadhav - India

Rated 1/5 on Mar 2022

We had our trip in Feb 2022, and it was worst to plan it with Golden vaccation. Our plan was for north sikkim but at last moment they changed the plan and sent us to Pelling. The manager Mr. Kamal Pradhan is very rude person and does not even bother to speak well with the visitors. They had sent the vehicle which did not have permit, the driver did not had liecence, the vehicle had pending dues of 45k and we had to wait for more than 2 hrs for the next vehicle to come. Thanks to our luck that the next driver Mr. Devash from sikkim and Mr. Pemba from Darjelling were good people. Would suggest not to go from any travel agencies... visit directly and the local drivers and tour guides are more co-operative than these golden travel agents.... Hotel Sikkim Retreat is very good in Gangtok and Hotel Huma in Darjelling. The staff of both the places are very humble.

12 Mar 2022

Dear madam, thanks for the review, but after taking feedback from team, just want to clear few points, 1- lachung was closed due to heany snowfall, and things are not in our hands , so was given you option to choose, 2- you had not clear your dues on arrival, while booking it was cleared to you, mr devash and pemba is our driver and we have assured you that the tour will be fine, but in hilly places , there are some issue regarding permit of vehical, 1 vehical of area cannot move in other area, i really appolige the problem you faced

I had booked Sikkim tour with Golden Vacations in March 2022. It was a wonderful experience for us. All their arrangements were up to the mark. All hotels and transportation arrangements were excellent. However, we feel there is room for improvement in breakfast options, since we sort of got almost similar options in all their hotels. A special thanks to our coordinator Kimshu for making all the arrangements flawless. Also, a shout out to receptionist Diksha at Golden Tashi Gakhil for the warm welcome.

I found Golden vacation travels amazing. They are very cooperative, whenever I called to the agent (subham choudhary) he always responded and helped me then and there. They will provide you the best deal of hotels in your budget and vehicles were also good, drivers were supportive because my friend was not well and driver used to stop the cab anytime when required. Happy with the service! Thank you subham choudhary :)

Sachin Aithal - India

We had a wonderful North Sikkim tour (gangtok/lachen/lachung) experience thanks to Mr. Shubham Chaudhary and team. Everything was very well organised and co-ordinated. Shubham was extremely polite and helpful with all the tour details. We are also thankful to Mr Kamal who took over once the tour started and perfectly co-ordinated between hotels and cab drivers. Would definitely recommend Mr Shubham and team.

Trip to Darjeeling and Gangtok

Selva Vignesh - India

I came to know about Golden vacations through Travel Sethu. Com. Our Trip was really amazing. The cabs provided were clean and comfortable allow us to enjoy the trip much more and also the cab drivers who took us were polite and humble and most the time they were on time. The room they provided for us at Darjeeling was awesome and their restaurant food was also good. The room given at Sikkim was also quite good except the complementary breakfast given there (Maybe they can prefer other rooms in Gangtok, Sikkim). I especially need to thank Shubham and Kamal our Trip organizers who provided us the correct information at correct times through regular phone calls they never made think about our language difficulties especially Hindi as we were from South India. You can always prefer Golden Vacations without any Hesitation to explore the North East india and other places with a lot happy and joyful memories with your family.

Rated 4/5 on Oct 2021

Well I must confess that I enjoyed the whole trip, apart from a wee bit of problems we faced, but I guess we can't expect a trip to perfect right? Hotels staff and service could have been little bit better. Call it bad luck or else we had a water shortage problem on one day and waiting in the dining room for our next chapati to come the other day..View from our POTOLA hotel were worth everything...apart from these two hickups they served us well We totally recommend Mr. Subham Choudhary for your trip...and we couldn't expect everything to go according to our itinerary in covid situation but you sure will have fun

Gangtok Darjeeling Trip

Vishal Kumar - India

I'd say the overall experience was great, given that every trip is about memories with some hickups of course, ours was no less then that too. We coordinated throughout the trip with Shubham right from the Star and I must say he was great. Apart from minor hickups he was genuinely very helpful and was available at all times of need. Our itinerary was great which again was sorted by Shubham. Hotels were awesome, view was awesome, little bit of problems in service provided by hotel staffs. Overall great experience. Totally recommend Shubham for further trips..

All thanks to one and only Mr Shubham Chaudhary whose brains I chewed to customize my itinerary a zillion times- but every time he was most composed and did everything that was asked! I was travelling with my parents and kids so i repeatedly told him to ensure our cars were in good shape! Everything was delivered and we had the most wonderful experience! I wanted a luxury leisure trip to chill- the weather, the hotels(Mayfair- Gangtok, Elgin- Darjeeling) were excellent, the staff, drivers - very warm and friendly!! My parents have been around the world and this was the first trip I took my brother's family, my family and my parents! AND THEY LOVED IT!! I checked the pricing with other known agents and the difference which Golden Vacation s delivered was unmatchable! I wish them all the best! And Shubham- only for you- you will soon book my Bhutan too! Thankyou

Till now had seen many agents and companies that provides travel solution. They are worst of all. I planned a trip from 11th april to 18th April from Travel setu's lead - Golden tours and travels for sikkim and darjeeling. Day 1: We were told for hotel to hotel transfer, didn't get that hence we have to pay 800(400 for 2 taxi) to reach taxi stand from hotel. Same day Driver didn't see the car coming and he hit the car to a mountain Day 2: we were at lachen that was a remote area and lights were not there so we we ask them to kn generator for just an hour so that girls can freshen up they don't have diesel (understandable) they manage diesel somehow and found generator was the issue. (they knew we are going to come before 15 day they also knew electricity is the problem there) Day 3: we were on a single way mountainous roads and he was driving at like 50-60kms/hr which in that road is very RISKY. Didn't saw innova and slams us to mountain AGAIN. Day 4: We were on the other side of the valley and a speed as above and BREAKS FAILED and the smashed to the rock (thankfully we were the other side of valley else we would have died). No major injuries but everyone was injured. Stuck there for 2-3 hours Day 5: again taxi rents 800 Day 6: they said to be ready for Darjeeling transfer at 9:00 AM at 8:30 when we were on the reception calling them, they said Darjeeling has their election today and government orders not to be out from hotels. And instead of Darjeeling we went peeling Thankfully last day nothing happened

First of all each and every family members represent their heartfelt thanks to Golden vacations and tours for the wonderful arrangement entire the trip. The coordinator was very responsive and helped us with all our doubts . All the drivers from picked to dropped they have done their job with pleasure and sincere. My special thanks to Mr Bhutia for his politeness and helpful nature. Udaan woodberry hotel & Zambala retreat gave their wonderful welcome and service. Food is very tasty and homely. Nathula what a amazing place and Tsomgo lake is just like Paradise. On the third day as per schedule we have seen the local sightseeing places and saw the beauty of Gangtok through the rope car. On the fourth day we left Gangtok on the way towards Darjeeling we have visited the place Namachi. We got thrilled experience with white water rafting in the river Teesta. On the fifth day we have enjoyed the sunrise at the tiger hills. At Darjeeling from Cable car we saw the beautiful tea Gardens on the hill slopes flowing river and forests. Fantastic experience with toy train also. The journey made un forgettable with an itinerary prepared by he team Golden vacations tours and travels. Once again I thank you the wonderful team.

The 6n/7d gangtok with North sikkim trip to lachen and lachung was well planned and conducted. The cabs and drivers provided were too notch and maintained good decorum. Especially Driver Raju who took us to North sikkim was excellent. The stay provided at gangtok in golden crest Hotel was good. However, in lachen and lachung it could have improved. While in lachen, at hotel blue pine, the room provided to us was small, although we were promised super deluxeroom.however, the quality of food in the hotel was excellent and hence we were happy. Overall, Santosh and abishek from golden vacation team did a good job of ensuring a smooth and awesome trip ...

Dear sir, permit is taken same day, and if goivt dont issue permit its not in our hand, we tried to give you alternative and gave you sightseen

Worse tour company to try

I would never ever try this. My parents went to Bhutan via them, and my mother fell from horse in Tiger's nest and they didn't bother instead try fooling my parents to have money from them. I have been repeatedly writing to them to ask my money back but no response. DONT TRY EVER.

The tour of sikkim and Bhutan was well managed by suchismita and Suraj. The initial coordination done by Ankita and Munna. Driver Arjun has excellent knowledge of the road, driving skills and a good conversationist. We never felt the stress of travelling continuously. Hotels were very good. Only at Lachung good heaters were missing since it was -5° freezing chill. Suraj and Suchismita were calling us everyday in the evening to get the details of how we spent the day. So nice of them. Keep up your tradition Atitthi devotees bhava.

Imran Lalani - India

Trip was all over great. Transportation and Hotel stays were pretty excellent. The food was delicious at the stay. My best stay was at Tashi Gokhil at Lachung and Greendale Residence at Gangtok . Recommend everyone for this. Thankyou Golden tour's and travel for making our trip excellent.

Bhutan trip (6days/ 5 nights)

Mansi Desai - India

Trip For: Paro, Thimphu, Punakha

Rated 4/5 on Jan 2020

All the transportation and local guide were on time and extremely nice. All our hotels were very spacious but one thing which we did not get was hot water for shower. Since we travelled in winter, hot water shower was very important for us. Our main guide cum driver Kinley Wangchuk was extremely helpful. Wonderfully knowledgeable and went out of his way to make our trip special. I will highly recommend Golden vacation to everyone

Pleasant trip

Pavan Kulkarni - India

We have traveled to Darjeeling and Gangtok, arrangements were really appreciated. Plan was good. Nice stay and authentic food were served .

Good budget trip

Trip was good but we were not aware about the monastery charges which was higher than expected.

Our Bhutan tour in January 2020

Sathya Narayana - India

Rated 5/5 on Jan 2020

Our tour to Bhutan in Jan 2020 was unforgettable. Ever since I started enquiry with Golden Tours Mrs Deepshana and Mrs suchishmitha clarified all my queries and finalised our as per my choice and itenary.They gave good suggestions including weather conditions required type of dress etc.Good Hotels, Driver and car.Many travellers from India whom I met there were eager to get the details of the trip agency when they heard about the services and cost for the Package. I shared your details (of cource with out your permission) and they noted it for their future plans and also to share it to others who may enquire them. My only unhappiness is that a visit to HAA was not materialised. I have already made enquiries for my next tour to Assume, meghalaya and Arunachal and hope to book it through you.

Excellent, but few pointers

Sadia Rahman - India

Excellent service in budget. My husband and I did not have any trouble during the whole tour in Darjeeling and Gangtok. Everything was very well planned and executed. I just want to mention one thing, if they can include a cab for local travel like if people want to just visit the nearby market, etc, they can easily visit. They may charge it, but it will really add value to the package they offer.

Very good Vacation

hotels are very nice, clean and the food also good.. Hotel staff are very polite and helpfully.Thanks to Golden Vacation Tours

Very well organised trip

Harsha Bhatta - India

We had gone to gangtok and Darjelling for 5 days. It was a well organised trip. We had a pleasant time. Drivers had sufficient knowledge about very places and very co-operative. We did river rafting in teesta which was a highlight of the trip. Hotels were very good. In Darjeeling we were giving different rooms on alternate days which made us to keep our baggage packed which was little troublesome but other than that hotels were very good with decent veg food. Overall the experience was very good.

Amazing experience with Golden vacation Tour's and Travel

Trip to darjiling and gangtok. From 2/12/2019 to 6/12/2019

Renu Shaikh - India

Had a wonderful time and enjoyed each day. The services rendered by one of the stafff of golden tours and travel. Name Rahul was extremely excellent and helpfull. Right from pick up from Bagdogra till the end ,the transport with the drivers services excellent ,the hotel and staff excellent ,in all everything was well managed by Rahul . Next time i will surely take your services again only and only if Rahul manages the entire tour .because had a bit of bad experience in Gangtok the hotel receptionist arrogantly replied when i asked for room heater,she said we have to pay extra,how can she say such a thing because gangtok has a very chill climate so definitely travellers who come from places wr its hot and humid will definitely need heaters and hotels do provide heaters. As i called Rahul and told him about it he arranged immediately for it. Thanks Rahul ,i was not very pleased by the nature of Pradeep the person who manages travel department in Gangtok had to face a very unpleasant situation in nathula .my husband had to drive back from nathula to gangtok hotel. Its a very very risky drive only trained people can drive in such places. But my husband managed otherwise we would have got strangled there. And god knows what could have happened. With all such experiences we did enjoy our trip. As i said Rahul was very helpful cooperative and understanding.

Gangtok, Lachung and Lachen

Rated 3/5 on Dec 2019

We took 6 days package from Nov 29 to Dec 4. Hotels and Car provided were good. First two days went quite well in gangtok.For the next 3 days one driver was allocated for lachung and lachen. He denied to show seven sister falls, Tashi view point and Chopta valley which was planned while booking and when we informed the travel operator ,driver got angry and started driving rash for sometime. But still no action was taken to show these places even though we informed the tour operator immediately on the 3rd day morning. Driver was late by 1 hr on both the morning and we were waiting at reception in such a cold weather. We didn't get the Nathula pass permit even though we had submitted the documents in advance , and the reason given by pradeep was we reached late to hotel on first day evening and hence he could not arrange for permit. And on the last day driver took airport parking charges from us. If the plan was shared with driver for day 3 to 5 we could have seen all the places or some action should have been taken to show the missing places on the other day. Overall it was good tour , thanks to Ankita Roy.

Excellent service

Ramesh - India

Had a really good experience for my tour of sikkim and darjiling for 7d6n. Tour was well co ordinated, drivers were good soft spoken and was speaking hindi, nepali and understood english. All hotel rooms were clean and hygenic. Food was excellent. Only downside is one must confirm the sites to be seen. If its not in list then they do not agree to add anything. I was ready to cancel local site seeing and add a few during darjiling transfer from gangtok but they denied. Later i had to pay extra to driver for covering those. In all a very good experience. I will give 4 out of 5.

Excellent arrangement for North SIKKIM tour. I appreciate their efforts & hospitality regarding arrangement of good hotels in Gangtok, LACHEN & LACHUNG and service of car with good & polite drivers. My first experience in my 24 years travel span that a driver provided breakfast to his passengers at his own cost and refused to take money from us on the way from Gangtok to Bagdogra which we will never forget till death. His name his Raju Tamang and we have learnt a lesson from him. Golden Vacation tours & travels have also arranged all permits for North SIKKIM & specially Nathula pass through documents that I have sent online. from Kolkata. The entire credit goes to this organisation for successful completion of our North SIKKIM tour from 3-9 th.nov 2019.

TOTAL FRAUD AND CHEATER COMPANY

SWAPNIL SHANKER MODI - India

We booked the tour for Bhutan from GOLDEN VACATION TOURS & TRAVELS. They took all the money from us first and than changed all our hotels, iteneries, places to visit and so on. We also booked 2 innovas but they gave us just one dirty Sumo for 11 people along with luggage. Nobody was taking any responsibilities and just making us fool by saying that they will give best service. It was the worst experience and even we missed our flight while returning as no cabs came to drop us to bhagdogra from Phoetsoling which was also booked from this cheater company. The owner of golden vacation Manoj chauddary and his sales executive Shelina are idiots and fooling tourists like us. Even their travel agent in Bhutan Mr. Abhishek was a fraud and did not booked any hotels nor any cabs. In phoetsoling our booking was in Hotel Palm. They also cheated us as when we arrived the hotel they told that they have given our booked rooms to other people and canceled our booking. Even the good reviews given by people here are there own people. Never ever book the tour from this company or else you will suffer alot as our experience was worst.

Dear sir, we apolise for the problem you faced, but we have already given you hotel voucher in advance, asnd as per your terms full money was advance, but you denied to pay on time, last moment you had changed your programme from phuensoling to siliguri, we had send you the vehical on time,

Trip For: Bhutan

Rated 5/5 on Sep 2019

We were a friend group of three girls from Mysuru, Karnataka, India on a trip to Bhutan with this being our first ever international trip. As a matter of fact, our respective families were concerned. The team at Golden tours and travels consisting of Mr. Suraj, Mr. Abhishek, Mr. Devendra, Ms. Suchismitha (and many others... Sorry couldn't name everybody) made sure our stay and travel in Bhutan were pleasant. The driver cum guides provided to us were all very friendly and knowledgeable. Our safety was their priority. The first day immigration formalities were easier because of our local guide in Phuentsholing Mr. Manish. Even the hotels given to us were all very good and decent with special mention of hotel in Phuntsholing (Hotel Palm) and Paro (Hotel Khamsum) which provided us with great rooms and services. The trip to the heavenly place of Bhutan was made great by this team of Golden tours and travels. Thank you very much!

My Family Tour

Aijaz Ahmed - India

It was an excellent experience with Golden Vacation Tours and Travels. In Darjeeling we stayed Hotel Golden Mandala two night and one day. Here the staffs of the hotel was very friendly and polite. Lunch and breakfast was good. I can't explain about the view from the hotel because it is very beautiful. In Gangtok Hotel Golden Star Continental & Spa was very nice. Rooms of the hotel was well decorated clean, and spacious enough with comfortable bed. From room no. 501 you can see an extremely nice view of the nature. It looks so beautiful at night . Here we stayed four night and three days. Reception manager, staff of the Kitchen and room service and very friendly and helpful. Break fast and dinner was enjoyable. During my tour with my family, Mr Rakesh our tour advisor played and important role in making my trip awesome through creating what-app group. He is the man with good qualities of management. I am very thankful to Mr Avnish and Mr Rajendra for my help. Both person went with me to eye specialist when my eye got infection. Over all experience was excellent. I am also thankful to all drivers during sight seeing .

Honeymoon spoilers: Just worried about their money!

Kushal Parwal - India

Rated 1/5 on Jun 2019

Booked thru them after good reviews from my friend, may 16 to 25th..talking with their representative monisha das... Who will speak very sweetly when you are in the process of booking, but will not even care to answer u once u book with them or make final payment, they will not give a damn, especially if u make lot of advance payment or full payment, only Mr Vivek was helpul and listened to our troubles. Monisha das changed hotels at last minute so beware, she gave us one under construction hotel.. Can u believe... Also she promised good rooms since it was honeymoon, she told suite rooms... But they were worst rooms, one room in darjeling was blocked with concrete on all sides. Drivers were very rude n full of attitude. Till morning they dont know which car will come. Just keep calling them. And ms. Monisha das will just cut the call in between if you argue. Better go with better professionals like mmt. Pay slightly more... But avoid the hassles with golden vacations. Not recommended at all.

Thank you for the feedback. We truly regret your poor experience. While negotiating, we had offered you a better choice of hotels and Innova.

Golden Vacation Travel

Amit Singh - India

Pathetic most travelling experience with this agency. They don't care for the customers after they receive the money. Incompetent sales team, poor vehicles, ill mannered drivers & poor coordination among themselves will ruin the travelling experience of customers. Rating should be negative for these crooks.

Mixed bag- good drivers, poor communication..

Chitra Sreedharan - India

Rated 3/5 on May 2019

Our tour to Sikkim n Darjeeling went off quite well. But as far as organisational part by Golden Tours is concerned, it was a mixed bag. Most of our drivers were very polite n cooperative, vehicles too were fairly good. But communication skills on the part of the Tour Co-ordinators left a lot to be desired. One Mr Pradeep, specially, was uncontactable most of the time! Mr Shamsher at Darjeeling was a striking contrast- he contacted us well in advance n actually came to see us off before we left.. We had to keep contacting them for info n details about next day's vehicle, driver details n timings. In fact, thanks to their mismanagement, our trip to Tsomgo lake n Baba Mandir were complete ruined. The driver got to know that he had to take us on that day only after we contacted him that morning! The result of the delay was that we didn't reach Baba Mandir at all, n spent barely 5 minutes at Tsomgo lake as the weather suddenly turned bad.. Added to that was the trauma of being stuck in a traffic jam(that seemed to stretch till eternity) in pouring rain on the return journey.. Thanks to the skills of the driver Ajay, we finally made it back to our hotel by 9.30 pm. Full marks to our driver, Mr Wangpo similarly for manouevering us thru' torrential weather conditions n terrible roads on our return journey from Lachung to Gangtok. As far as hotels were concerned, we were told it was a deluxe package but got standard rooms only in some places. Hotel Fortuna in Lachen was pathetic!

Quick response and solutions. Good knowledge about the places. I booked 7 days Bhutan trip. It is very lisser and memorable. Prince also very competitive.

Once again thanks to everyone for this memorable trip. See you soon

If you don't want to spoil your vacation and waste your money, please STAY AWAY from them

Umang - India

If you don't want to spoil your vacation and waste your money, please STAY AWAY from them. Initially, they all will sound very sweet and responsive but will make you experience NIGHTMARES once you pay the amount and start your trip. We (family of 8 members) booked a 10 day trip to North- East (Sikkim and Darjeeling) through them after getting their details through tripcrafters.com and finalized the itinerary 2 months in advance for the trip. The hotel details were provided over email as well as through a customer portal which seem quite professional. A whatsapp group was also formed consisting of all the travellers and company's staff few days before trip commencement. We were told that all the hotels booked are with deluxe rooms. Our challenge and adventure (instead of vacation) started when we landed at Bagdogra Airport. On checking our phones we were shocked to see that they dropped a message late last night before our journey starting day wherein ALL OUR HOTELS WERE CHANGED. On checking their portal, the names were found changed there too. All this was done WITHOUT INFORMING US and taking our consent. There was no exclusive vehicle provided and daily morning they used to arrange a vehicle from respective LOCAL TAXI STAND without thinking of its condition or quality keeping in view our group size. The drivers were usually rude and uncooperative. GANGTOK: Hotel Everest Residency/ Mansion. It is situated in a remote corner of the town far away from main centre. Rooms quality was ok but the guests are served food on their terrace and no proper dining arrangement exists. The ladies of our group had to help the cooks to get us the meals and there were no proper timings. LACHEN: Hotel Ingredient. Situated in a filthy lane, basically a LODGE. Electricity often not available. LACHUNG: Hotel Lachung Dynasty. NOT A HOTEL BUT AGAIN A LODGE. Shabby and very small rooms without any facility. SPENT ENTIRE STAY THERE WITHOUT ELECTRICITY. Makeshift dining and that too in candlelight. PELLING: Hotel Sikkim Aurora. Only hotel which was well located and was ok and basic facilities were provided. Rooms were very small. Food was pathetic. DARJEELING: Hotel Highland Inn. A LODGE located near station but you need to go FAR DOWN in a filthy and slippery lane to reach there. One of us also got injured while reaching there. WORST STAY was here. RUDE and ARGUMENTATIVE STAFF and ILL TASTING FOOD. Everyday we need to make numerous calls to their personnel to get the details of vehicle and hotels. The greatest of them is Mr. Amit Chandra. He answered our calls only once and ignored all our issues which we faced DAILY. Daily we were informed about a new person who would be our tour coordinator. All these so called coordinators were also least bothered of our needs and were unresponsive. Daily we had to make at least 20 calls to the company's staff starting from early morning till LATE NIGHT. The last installment was to be paid by us on arrival at Bagdogra Airport and in CASH only. Since our hotels were changed, we withheld that amount and it was our only saviour. After 2 days we were THREATENED by Amit Chandra to pay the remaining amount else they will CANCEL our remaining trip. This is the standard of Golden Vacation which is boasting too much everywhere about its service standards and wide network. Somehow we contacted company MD, Mr. Manoj Choudhary who also did not provide answer as to why our Hotels were changed. Only respite was that due to his personal intervention, our trip remain continued and was the only responsive person. We paid half of our balance payment after his assurance. Other great people in his team were Mr. Rakesh, Mr. Pradeep amd Mr. Ujwal who kept on reminding us of balance payment. We assured to make payment in person at their office in Siliguri which they tried to avoid by giving excuses.

Thank you for the feedback. We truly regret your poor experience. While negotiating, we had offered you a better choice of hotels and Innova. However, due to budget contraints, you had opted for cheaper accommdation and non luxury vehicle. You were aware of the choice you were making. even may is peak time in this area and we need to make permit,for sight seen, so vehicle delay is not in our hand as permit is issued by govt authority, We shall nonetheless pass on your feedback to the respective hotels.

Useless tour operator!

Yash Pancholi - India

Tour date: 12/05/19 - 20/05/19 Location: Darjeeling, Lachung, Pelling, Gangtok We would have given negative rating if option available! Finally we had finished our tour with very few positive memories and many more negative memories. The only positive memories are Nathula pass visit, support of Ms. Narbada and Hotel services. There was lack of communication, lack of coordination, lack of time management from Golden. Transporters never respected valuable time of ours. *Coordinator Rakesh was totally inactive and inefficient on all the days*, he was not aware and was incapable of keeping a track of ours, he had not played his role of a coordinator from day 1, which forces us to coordinate on our own instead of enjoying the tour. We feel that *Golden was interested only for payment and not for services*. There was a strong follow up for balance payments but never cared for services. In Darjeeling we missed sunrise as driver came late and the same was informed but nobody from Top(Mr. Manoj) to bottom (Mr. Rakesh, Mr. Shom) cared to respond till today. In Gangtok, for local site seeing we waited and followed up for transport for almost 2hrs and hence we missed many points to visit. Golden should understand that tourists donot visit such places to waste their time! Our group is not happy at all with Golden's services and will never recommend to anybody. We are publishing this on social media in public interest. Tour was not value for money! The same feeling was expressed by other groups as well at all locations!

booked my trip 3 months in advance for a group of 36 from south tamilnadu. The one who followed me up Naveen and Sanjay left their Job midway, i had to try a dozen different persons to finally findt Mr Amit Chandra who seemed responsible in attending my file. Then came the day of our trip to North Sikkim, Day 1 was cool. We were contacted by a guy Vishal that day and we were informed to be ready by 10 am in the hotel the next day to leave for Lachen. We were all ready by 9.30 itself, but no sight of anyone to pick us up. we were promised 5 innova and one small car, at 12.30 we are told by the hotel reception that all of us have to go to a taxi stand 2 km away to board our taxis to lachen, so we had to arrange our own taxi to reach the taxi stand. it was almost 1 pm and were shocked to find all tata sumo instead of innova. further the drivers were not arranged stay and they all revolted from taking us to gurudongmar the next day morning. it was a serious nightmare for us all.we were asked to pay them 1500 rs for each vehicle which the tour operator refunded us later as promised though. further the stay in siliguri is a mediocre lodge that further rips your sleep with its rusty water and horrible maintenance. Golden Vacations provide you economical package, no doubt. But for people who have traveled from the southern end of India they ripped us of our pleasure with their miscommunications and poor ground staffs and transport.

DO NOT CHOOSE THEM

Anushree H.Y - India

Booked trip to Sikkim with them, they are very sweet while you plan, they create a whats app group which sounds so cool, but once the payment is done, they disappear. Worst hotels booked, they have tie up with taxi operators in Sikkim. These taxi operators are not paid by Golden Vacation on time, hence they dont turn up. Everyday we need to follow up with 10 different ppl to get taxi details. Finally escalated to their MD Manoj to get things done. Ankita and Rakesh are pathetic, once the payment is done, all they know is to agrue!

Almost perfect Trip !! But we'll nothing is ever perfect !!

Abhilash Pradhan - India

The deal that I got was amazing , I had some issues while finalizing the package with Salina but she handled everything well and it turned out great. I had a 7 day 6 night trip with great hotels and amazing drivers . Manoj ji kept updating about the drivers for the next destination in the evening or else I called to enquire which is normal . Although I got a Xylo when I had asked for Innovas for the north Sikkim Trip it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, the driver was an amazing guy and showed us lot of places ❤️. To the entire team. Great job and would love to book a next package soon if they can deliver the same experience.

Krishna Prasadh - India

Booked my honeymoon package with golden tours. Monisha was very polite and perfect in organizing the trip. Drivers were very friendly. Overall it was an awesome experience. Hotels were so good and staffs were friendly. We were caught in landslide in Nathula and was to extend our stay in a hotel. Rakesh denied help whereas Monisha helped us to get a good hotel. One small suggestion : it will be good to give the itenary and hotel deatils 10 days before. So that we can be all set before our journey.

I had a trip to Darjeeling and Gangtok with my family during April 2019. We traveled with Golden Vacation Tours and Travels in a package program made for us. The trip was good. We were picked from and dropped back at Bagdogra. We stayed at Hotel Golden Dolma at Darjeeling and Golden Star Continental at Gangtok. All arrangements were very good like stay at hotel, food arrangements at Hotels, local sight seeing, travel between airport etc were well organized. We thank Golden Vacation Tours and Travels team for all arrangements. Special mention about Cab Driver Ashish and Coordinator Rakesh.

I booked this trip via makemytrip. Bibek was my tour coordinator. I had a very peaceful and an amazing trip with no complications. All the itinerary and cab driver details were shared to me on daily basis. I didnt have to contact anyone for a second. Everything was just arranged perfectly. I should say that i can blindly go ahead with these guys. Even the drivers were so friendly and kept us entertained all the time. Thank you so much makemytrip and Bibek for such wonderful assistance by you. I just got Unforgettable memories in my life.

Vacation for Sikkim and Bhutan

Chandrashekar Kshatriya - India

We had 9 days trip to Sikkim and Bhutan and it was managed well. Ofcourse there are some improvements that you need to focus. I will deifintely recommend it anyone. Things that went well are 1. Sales person Deepak was nice 2. Tour coordinator Bibek was awesome and managed very well 3. Hotels in Gangtok and Bhutan were excellent 4. Vehicles for most places were good. One inside Bhutan was awesome. Brand new Crysta. Things to be improved are 1. Vehicle from Bhutan to Darjeeling arrived late by couple of hour. That vehicle and driver were also horrible.Avishek is the coordinator here who should have managed well here. 2. Hotel in Lachen and Lachung are not so good. Overall great experience and will sure travel again with these guys for Bhutan trip.

Bhutan trip - March 2019

Biswaroop Mukherjee - India

Thanks to Golden Vacations for organizing a wonderful trip. The hotel (Sang Boutique Hotel & spa) was located within the town which made it convenient to roam around Paro in the evening. It was a really nice hotel with warm and friendly staff who took care of everything. The room was a good one with a balcony overlooking the town. In the morning I got a great view of sunrise over the nearby mountains and at night I could see the National Museum and Rinpung Dzong glowing with its lights. The driver (Tsering) was just awesome. He went the extra step to make sure I was always having a great time. He was always prompt and made sure we stayed on schedule. To me he was the main reason why this trip was so successful. Also thanks to Upasana, Rupa and Bibek and the rest of the Golden Vacations team who answered all my questions and always helped me whenever I asked. I normally don't take the time to write such a long feedback but I wanted to make sure their efforts are acknowledged. Will definitely travel to Bhutan again and try them once more!

Pathetic Service with no ownership

Deepa Nischal - India

Rated 1/5 on Apr 2019

I had booked a 9 days trip to sikkim with Golden vacations ..Had booked almost 1.5 month before my travel dates and paid almost 80% advance before my travel..rest was to be paid on arrival at airport....after reaching airport we were told that a xylo coming with no carrier ..imagine xylo for 6 people with no carrier..how about our luggage..they were telling us to adjust and manage..how to adjust and manage with so much luggage , 6 people and such a huge distance travelling from bagdogra to pelling... after so much of frustration and calls , we got a cab with more than 1 hr of waiting at airport.. so called trip coordinators who take money from you Munna Mehta, Shom ...take no ownership..imagine we had to call company's MD Manoj chaudhary for getting our issues resolved .. Anyways..it didn't end here..after seeing their pathetic response of service, i told them that i will keep certain amount with me as unpaid till i get my trip over..on which i was told, we will not share any cab details till you make complete payment...Imagine highly insensitive non professional customer service attitude... Every evening it was a pain to coordinate and keep asking about the next day cab details and driver details.. The hotel which was given to us in Lachen was just pathetic, terrible... the cab which was given to us for 3days--lachen lachung and return was in such a bad state and so dirty... Such pathetic service, no ownership..after making a huge payment it was frustrating everyday coordinating and asking for next day details... wont recommend to anyone....

The overall trip was amazing! One of the coordinators, Upashna did a great job of answering all our queries throughout and making comfortable arrangements. Our special request of vegetarian preference was taken care of. Last minute hiccups because of unavailability of hotel room was handled by booking another hotel in the last minute. All the hotels were upto expectation. The Bhutan travel-guide cum the driver was noteworthy. Only improvement point could be the cab from Darjeeling to Phuntsholing - who did kind of rash driving and the quality of vehicle was also not upto the mark . Thank you team for letting us make memories for lifetime.

Gangtok - Darjeeling, Nice Trip

Chetan Gupta - India

We have taken the trip of 5 days and 6 nights which covered Gangtok and Darjeeling, Pick up and Drop to Bagdogra Airport. The trip was nicely planned by Subham and Munna, I would like to thank Subham for his quick support and availability throughout the Trip. Hotels were nice and staff were well behaved and helpful. They can arrange food or items from outside as well on request.Rooms were in good conditions. The breakfast was so delicious and tasty with many food options in both the hotels, we really enjoyed that and appreciating it. All the vehicles were in good condition and I must say all the drivers were very nice in Gangtok specially the driver who have taken us to Changu lake route, however we were not allowed to go till Changu lake, Baba mandir and Nathula Pass but it was not in there hand. Only bad part was that, transport people were not in sync and were not planning things well in advance and sometime i have to call and ask the plan. I was expecting travel executives to call me instead of drivers but that was not happening. Drivers were not good in Darjeeling. Please do not book Toy Train from Hotel reception as they book it via agent which charge 600 rupees extra which we were not aware before. Overall it was good trip, thank you.

Good, Enjoyed the trip

Sakaray Praveen - India

First of all thanks for your team for making this trip successful. Communication: 5 ⭐ 5 stars for maintaining such a good communication, whenever help required.. Planning: 5 ⭐ Though I revised the plan, it was well executed. I was a bit disappointed as the permit was not provided for few sites/location, but you come up with another option(Local site seeing) Accomdation: This is where I was a bit disappointed as the hotel in Darjeeling was sooo nice but when coming to Gangtok, was not that good. Suggesting you to maintain the same standards as in Darjeeling Commute: 4 ⭐ Provided with good vehicles.. I'm satisfied. But Driver named Ravi in Darjeeling was sooo friendly and maintained such a good communication. But coming to drivers in Gangtok were not that good. Overall I'm satisfied.. Though I missed natula paas, Baba harbajan mandir and changu lake which are main attractions of Gangtok.. Understood it was not in your hands or mine

All fake commitments were made by Navin their marketing person. after collecting the entire amount they even don’t bother to pick your calls. Cabs provided were not of good quality. They simply spoiled our mood and trip.

My friend & I both 70 years old took the Bhutan Package of 6 days from Bagdogra to Phuenchiling ,Thimphu,Paru & panaka from 13th to 18th Feb.To put it in a nutshell it was most disorganised.No one was responisble or ready to address our numerous problems ever since we set foot in their landWhen we arrived at Bagdogra airport there was no one to receive us,we waited over 40 minutes in the hot sun while a driver was woken up & sent from 10 Kms away.He drove us all the way to Pheunshlingh to get our Visas.Our hotel stays were very unsatisfactory.The worst thing was we were assured of a good car & driver who would stay from day one to last, instead they were leasing out cars for us as & when we reached a destination.In paru they alloted a room five floors below the street level with winding stairways & no Elevators.On the whole it was a no good ,deal with no care for our comfort or age.

A memorable trip organised well by a professional agency.

We had been to Bhutan from 16th-22nd december. It was one of the memorable all girls trip.the hotels which the travels have arranged was decent and the car and driver arranged in Bhutan was also good enough.talking about improvements area,they need to be bit more organanized.In the sense ,firstly they booked flights and then realized on that particular day when we were supposed to enter Bhutan it was national holiday and there will be no immigration clearance.because of which we will have to waste our 2 days in Darjeeling.there were also certain miscommunication between their agents in Bhutan and the ones in Siliguri.So things like this can be improved upon. Other than that all their agents was very helpful and co-operative.In nutshell, we had a splendid experience in Bhutan.

At the first time of booking your agent contact me, and they told me if I need to cancel the trip, then inform us by 3rd December, then you will get 100% the refund. But unfortunately some of my personal problem i have to cancelled it. And i told your agent on 30th nov. then they told me I will get the money by 10th dec. On 10th dec.

Golden Vacations is a company who acts dishonestly without regrets. They absolutely ruined my Trip to Bhutan n Darjeeling. They are a team of unprofessional and unethical people who make false promises while taking a booking from the customers and once the payments are done..... they don’t care about the customers 0. Taxi Drivers doesn’t know the route nor the Hotel Name 0. They had committed that taxi driver is a guide also - but the driver completely denies and says he will not follow the itinerary. 0. Tour coordinator also agreed the itinerary is wrongly prepared just to get more bookings 0. I had payed for3* Hotels,but the hotels and rooms were third class....rooms conditions were absolutely substandard - beds broken, cockroaches in the rooms , geyser not working, rooms , bedsheets , quilt all stinking, room service not available till 8:00 am 0. Bhutan entry tickets to monuments sight seeing we're committed but were not given, Parking charges also had to payed by us 0. They are just interested in their payments , once the payments received by them, the customer is at their mercy and totally helpless. I would sincerely request to all who ever is reading this review - plz don’t book any tours with Golden Vacations

Dear madam, thanks for reviewing us the hotel was your own choice, u had not added guide in your package and you demand from us to give guide foc, we mnever include any monument entry fees in any package, you was in 4 night bhutan tourr, and you want us to complete full bhutan that is quite impossible for any company,

End up with frustration and loss of time

Naveen Kumar T - India

Trip For: Shillong

We booked North east and Assam trip with Golden vacation Travels. 1) The vehicle they arranged was a average tempo vehicle used for local guwahathi private trips. No A/C or Fan ,No Charging point,no luggage holders beside seats. 2) Drivers did not know English/Hindi , they knew only local language. very difficult to communicate directly to drivers. we wasted most of time in calling travels to covey information to our near hand drivers. 3) Some of the Hotels they arranged (in Guwahathi) were not properly informed about arrival and our requirement. Had to wait long time to check in. inspite we found hotel management's service was good, their tie up with travels was not in good sync. 4) We had to give remaining amount . To get the amount, they stopped vehicle in mid way through mountains, urging to transfer remaining money , where the place had no ATM, No internet service. We had to struggle a lot to convince them in call, that we would get money as soon we get internet or see ATM. Still they wanted money to resume our travel. so we had to give whatever money we had on hand to driver for tour to continue. 5) If we want to see some more site seeing places on way, they argue it is not possible, as vehicle is point to point basis and those places cannot be covered. 6) Though They are professional in business, they should understand Tourists's practical difficulties and value of time.

Ganesh Bharadwaj - Chennai India

If you want to feel frustrated at the end of the trip, please go ahead and choose them. 1. Drivers are taking trips during promised ours to us. This makes us wait and miss certain locations. 2. Very unprofessional co-ordinators. As soon as you start speaking to them, they say "Dont Argue", " You have to loose some battles" e.t.c. My friend was frustrated talking to them and had to hand over the talking with management part to me. 3. Dont know which places are closed. Most places, he says are closed, after going for 3 to 4 hrs. Travel agencies should be aware of this. 4. Drivers dont come on time and are late, so we have to be late and miss certain spots. 5. Drivers dont clearly speak Hindi. They speak assamise. They know certain words, but very hard to communicate. 6. We had a discussion with the team on whether we could get a hindi speaking guy to also join us, and after discussion, we found the same assamise speaking guy as the driver. 7. Locations covered are good. But that would be good irrespective of whether they take you there. 8. Phulkesh and Parag are the 2 people who communicate with us, there are multiple hierarchies between them and the drivers, with middle man. That any change has to be communicated to multiple people before we can even ask the driver to do something. Please dont run this travel agency. We are actually wasting away hard earned money on you guys. We really want to get the most out of our trip. Hope no body has to endure this Travel agency.

Even after confirmation and several reminders they have provided the small car. Also during the tour , complained the same through your their Whats Up group, but did not receive any suitable response and they told me that the booking was done for small vehicle.

Fantastic planning and execution by Golden Vacations

Rated 4/5 on Jun 2018

Our experience was good with golden vacations. They give support throughout the trip at any point of time. I recommend to choose golden vacation if you are going on trip with family and really Don’t want to plan all the details. They are friendly and soft spoken people. We enjoyed a lot.

Overall satisfactory. Food and hotels were outstanding but I am not satisfied with transport facility. U must adhere to your commitment, from airport we have been provided mismanaged small car. Anyways I will love to deal with u people again and hope will get better transport facility next time.

Amazing tour.. Bhutan

Phani Kumar - India

Nice hotels, comfortable Innova car.. Golden vacation guys are very friendly.. Guided us through out tour. Worthy.. Un doubtedly choose this travels.. In time Chek in.. Check out.. No waiting at hotels.. Every thing is good.. But don't start on Sundays.. Immigration holiday. That's why some people are wasting their time at border Town.. My rating 5/5

Horrendous experience with Golden Vacation Tours and Travels

Narendra Rao - India

We booked a tour of Bhutan ( flight , road , stay, siteseeing ) with Golden Vacations.. Worst experience ever with the entire team.. Not at all professional. They dont care about making us wait in the airport for more than 90 mins.. Very casual approach.. Commitments like extra bed in the room never honoured. No one has a courtesy to apologise.. They take the travellers for a ride. When confronted, instead of Understanding the issue, the owner Manoj Choudhri supports his own staff.. Requesting everyone never to go with these unprofessional people.. Once we pay the money, we are at their mercy... Got these contacts from holidayiq website.. Never ever to judge a company like these for our next holiday.. Someone has to train them what a customer service is... Very rude staff, equally rude owner..

05 Jun 2018

Dear sir, thanks for review, first i want to clear few points that you have not mentioned, you pkg was with child sharing and not extra bed, and the vehicle was non ac, but you demanded for ac vehicle, supporting the staff is not the point, the point is the package you have taken, taken a pkg in 2 star you cannot demand 3 star hotels, so please clear all points, so that other guest dont get mislead, we always in service quality and service,

Amazing Experience with Golden vacation tours and travels

Lokesh Kothari - India

Rated 5/5 on May 2018

Our travel and stay in Darjeeling and Sikkim was made very comfortable by the Golden group. The hotel staff and the drivers were all very cooperative and friendly.The hotel rooms were neat and luxury, the restaurant served delicious food (can be the best choice for people in search of Pure veg restaurant options) and the cars were well maintained and comfortable. All tourist points were covered in the package and we were able to appreciate the magical beauty of Darjeeling and Sikkim fully.Overall, we had a memorable tour and we do recommend Golden vacation tours and travels to people planning a holiday in the heavenly North-East India.

Kumaravel, gangtok Darjeeling

Kumara Vel - India

Excellent had a great time very pleasant experience thanks for all the arrangements. To get Nathula permit we need to give them docs atleast the day prior to the visit. So plan Nathula only on day 2 or later for your trip so we have enough time for permit(mon n Tue Nathula is closed). Narbada from sales team was very polite helpful n approachable. The rooms were too good. Kudos to the team. Only flipside is communication upfront about driver by the tour coordinator would be helpful.

Poor maintenance of vehicles

Mayank Agarwal - India

Rated 3/5 on May 2018

We booked a 'luxury vehicle' xylo for our sikkim trip on point to point basis (inr 35500) . Vehicle provided to us was in really bad condition with dirt all around, seat belts (back seat) not working and a rude driver. Anyway, thankfully they changed the vehicle and driver next day. I must say our driver Ajay was excellent (very courteous, helpful, friendly, professional, great driver), and we did nt want to change despite another ill maintained vehicle (seat belts on the back x, mobike charger x ) provided. Finally on our journey back to bagdogra airport, they changed our vehicle at salugara (30km or so from airport) to swift desire which was not sufficient for 4 people + 3 strolleys. Believe me, one of our strolley was tied to the roof without any carrier. Obviously this was not as per contract and despite my request for a parrial refund since there was breach of contract, they didnt do anything. UNPROFESSIONAL HANDLING OF OUR TRIP. I WISH I HAD AN OPTION FOR ADDING SOME PHOTOS

09 May 2018

Dear sir, thanks for comment, but please give full detail that your vehical was breakdown at salugura, 12 km before airport, and as your flight was getting late so we had given you swift as swift was only available at that time, so we are very sorry that we was not able to fulfil your requirement.

Very Poor Customer Service - Not recommended for Sikkim

Shrenik Tolia - Mumbai India

Rated 1/5 on May 2018

Only interested in getting 100% advance for the trip and were behind us for the payment. They provided a very poor customer service. Their drivers werent willing to follow the iternary and used to ask for additional money. We lost one day of sightseeing as their drivers were not at our hotel. When we asked for taking us to the place next day they asked for additional money.Since they had taken the entire money upfront we were at their mercy. As a result we couldnt see Changu Lake. I wouldnt recommend them in the future to anyone as they dont treat their customers well. We had to argue a lot with their teams

I took the package from Golden Vacations for Sikkim trip during March 2018. It was excellent travelling with them, starting from pickup at Bagdogra Airport till end everything was fine....All the drivers were very friendly, Golden Staffs were polite and helpful, food and hotel were nice too...It was as I had planned. I would like to especially mention Mr Amit Chanda from Golden Vacations who crafted our package as per our need and was constantly in touch with us throughout our trip checking about our comfort etc. Sikkim was my dream destination and I must thank Amit and Golden Vacations for the amazing trip.

Our group of 6 persons travelled Bhutan from 11.03.2018 to 17.03.2018 through Golden Vacation. Initial 3 nights were OK. We were provided hotel and rooms as per quotation. But later 3 nights at Paro instead Premium Rooms in 4 star hotel we were offered lowest grade rooms in below 3 star hotel hence we had to go to other hotel namely HOTEL Olathang and pay cash Rs.51620.00 for rooms. I have asked Golden Vacation vide my LETTER DT.20.03.18 and e mail to reemburse the payment which I had to pay to Hotel Olathang. So far I have not received any reply.Receiving at Airport and toure guide was promised but none was there. Toure coordinator did not respond even after our informations. My experience with Golden Vacation is not good. Gs jhawar.

The Most Beautiful Stations on the Moscow Metro

You might have heard that there are some beautiful metro stations in Moscow. Soviet decorations, chandeliers, mosaic painting and statues are common in many of the stations. The good news is that the Moscow Metro does not cost a lot of money and many of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro are on the same line, so you can almost get on and off at each station to visit these. Over the New Year holidays, I had a free afternoon and decided to visit some of these stations. Check out what I found below…..

The main stations that you will want to visit are on the Number 5 line, also known as the Circle Line. An advantage of this line is that you can get to it very easily and quickly no matter where you are in Moscow. The announcements on the metro are in Russian as well as English so you don’t need to worry if your Russian language skills are not good.

If, like me, you arrive in Moscow via train from Kyiv , then you will arrive at a metro station which many Muscovites believe to be the most beautiful of them all…..

Kievskaya metro station was opened in 1954 and features white marble walls which curve upwards and have with large mosaics surrounded by a gold trim in a very classical style. The mosaics depict life in Ukraine and was designed by a Ukrainian who wanted to display Ukraine’s influence and contribution to Soviet Russia.

Kievskaya, one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro

Soviet era artwork between the arches

Mosaic with golden trim

People carrying flags is a common theme

Going into battle

Belorusskaya

If you look at a map of the metro , you will want to go in a clockwise direction on the circle line. So you will want to get on the train going in the Barrikadnaya direction and not Park Kultury. Stay on this line until you reach the 2nd station, Belorusskaya. This station was built in 1952 and like Kievskaya also features white marble pylons and a plaster ceiling.

The ceiling features 12 mosaics in an octagonal shape depicting Belarusian life, while the tiling on the floor is said to resemble a Belarusian quilt. One of the passageway exits of the station has a statue called ‘Belarusian Partisans’ of three men wearing long coats, holding guns and carrying a flag.”

The hammer and sickle features prominently in the metro artwork

Three men carrying guns, holding the flag…

Mayakovskaya

To get to the next station, we need to change onto the green line (line 2) and go just one stop to the station of Mayakovskaya. This station has an art deco theme and, for some, resembles an elaborate ballroom. The columns are faced with stainless steel and pink rhodonite while the marble walls and ceiling have 34 mosaics with the theme “24-hour Soviet Sky. Apparently, Stalin resided here during the 2nd World War as the station was used as a command post for Moscow’s anti-aircraft regiment.

It looks like planes flying over Red Square

Novoslobodskaya

It’s time to get back on the metro and return to Belorusskaya. At Belorusskaya, change to the circle line again and continue clockwise to the next station, Novoslobodskaya. With its 32 stained glass panels, this station reminds me of a church. The panels were designed by Latvian artists and are surrounded by a brass border.

The golden trim around artwork is also very common

Prospekt Mira

Back on the metro and again just one stop until our next station, Prospekt Mira. This station was originally called Botanichesky Sad after the nearby Botanical Gardens of the Moscow State University. The pylons are covered in white marble and decorated with floral bas-relief friezes. The ceiling is decorated with casts and several cylindrical chandeliers.

Notice the floral decoration

Komsomolskaya

On the metro once more and once more we are going just one stop to the next station – Komsomolskaya. This station is famous for its its yellow ceiling. The chandeliers in this station are huge. The photos below do not do this station justice.  For me, this station resembles a presidential palace.  You hace to see it for yourself to truly appreciate it.

Because of it’s location, this is one of the busiest stations in the Moscow metro as it serves three of the main train stations in the city – Leningradsky, Yaroslavsky, and Kazansky so be prepared for a lot of people.

Elektrozavodskaya

When you are ready to leave Komsomolskaya metro station behind, then get back on the circle line and go one stop to Kurskaya and change to the blue line (line 3) and go to two stops to the Elektrozavodskaya station. This station gets it’s name from a nearby electric light bulb factory and has a somewhat industrial but also futuristic style, with 6 rows of circular lamps (there are 318 lamps in total). I think this is one of the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro for how unique it is. The station was opened in 1944 after a delay because of the 2nd World War and features 12 marble bas-reliefs of the struggle on the home front during the war.

Even the station sign is elaborate

Ploschad Revolyutsii

Back on the metro line 3 (but in the other direction), getting off at the 3rd stop – Ploschad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). This is located underneath the square in Moscow of the same name and is a short walk from Red Square in the city centre. It is the perfect place to end a visit around Moscow’s metro. The station features red and yellow marble arches with a total of 76 sculptures in between each arch. The sculptures are supposed to represent the people of the Soviet Union and include soldiers, farmers, industrial workers, children etc… I noticed a lot of people touching the golden chicken in the photo below as well as the show of the woman. I am assuming that this is for good luck.

These are some of what I think are the most beautiful stations on the Moscow metro. Which ones are your favourite? Would you add any to this list?

Kievskaya definitely caught me off guard. Didn’t know Moscow metro stations were THIS extravagant! Mayakovskaya is gorgeous too with the marble walls and mosaics. I might just need to book a flight over to admire all of these!

Do it! Kievskaya was my first introduction to the Moscow metro as I got an overnight train from Kyiv.

You know, in the States, all we ever hear is bad stuff about Russia. It’s nice to see other (and lovely!) dimensions of such a controversial place.

It’s the same in the UK which is why I prefer going to see somewhere and making up my own mind. It’s all ‘politics and bullshit’ as I say

I went to Moscow about 13years for Christmas and went to train stations, so I can see these amazing mosaics and chandeliers. I agree with you that are beautiful Stations for sure and I could of wandered around for days. I think Kievskaya is definitely my favourite out of them all and I even have some similar pictures as you.

I imagine Moscow would have been a little different 13 years ago but these stations have probably always looked beautiful

You chose some great stations for this write up! Beautiful details in these stations and would love to visit them sometime. Particularly like the Komsomolskaya station with that yellow ceiling!

Thank you very much. Komsomolskaya seems to be a lot of peoples favourite stations too

Wow! Without the text I would have thought them to be some museum or gallery.

I know exactly what you mean!

Wow, it is just stunning! How does anyone get to work with so much to look at. I’m surprised at the very bourgeois-looking Komsomolskaya station. I would have thought it was all too Tzarist looking, but then I haven’t been to Russia yet lol. This has just made me want to go more!

Wow, that’s a lot of artwork. I wonder how old some of these pieces are?

Generally most of the stations are from 1940-1960 approximately. The later stations are more functional than style.

My mother-in-law was in Moscow fifty years ago and still raves about the metro stations. So far, I could not imagine much. But now! The pictures are great and I think it’s almost a pity that this splendor is underground. But for every user of the Metro can enjoy a free trip to the world of art. Susanne

True. It is like having a free trip to an art museum/gallery. I hope that you can one day visit Moscow and see for yourself.

Oh wow, I would never have known that these were metro stations. The ceilings remind me of how you need to look up sometimes, even in the commuter rush!

It is true about life in general, we just go from A to B looking directly in front of us instead of around us

Wow, I would have never guessed that these were stations. The decor is so pretty and not one I’m used to seeing at metro stations. Love the ceiling at The Komsomolskaya metro station.

They certainly don’t look like metro stations. The ceiling there is one of my favourites too!
