The Taj Mahal was breathtaking! Amazing accommodation… All 5 stars. There was such a good variety with the golf courses – some tight, one even had trees in the middle of the fairway and around the front of the green. Overall, a good variety and fun. The tour was well organised, a lovely and friendly group and caring hosts. A confronting tour… Life in India!
Helen, India 2016
The Taj Mahal was a definite highlight. The golf courses were great especially Oxford and Aamby Valley – my favourites. The accommodation was great especially the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai and the whole holiday was a cultural shock! Quite an experience, but very well organised by Go Golfing!
Gus & Greta, India 2016
We had a great time meeting new people, all of which were fun to be with. WOW moments were the bus driving from Dehli to Agra, the drive to Amblee Valley resort and the Mumbai street food tour. Terry was a great host and we all had a great trip, many laughs and many fond memories. Well-done Go-Golfing!
Will, India 2016
What an amazing place to visit and full of cultural diversity. Golf courses very nice, some better than others but well worth a visit.
Anita, India 2016
We loved every minute of the trip. the Taj Mahal – something you just have to see in your lifetime!
The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel – one of the nicest hotels that I have ever stayed in.
