Had a fabulous trip, so much to see and do, the history of the country is amazing, and the places we visited were all so amazing. The moment the Taj Mahal appeared… still makes my hairs stand on end when I think of it. The ‘on the ground’ staff were all very knowledgeable and looked after the group very well indeed. The courses we played were all very different…
I love travelling with Go Golfing, I always enjoy myself, and meeting new golfers.
Lyn, India 2018
The Taj Mahal was better than imagined. Our Indian tour guides were very knowledgeable, approachable and interesting. Our Go Golfing tour host could not have been any better. Our bus driver in Dehli was absolutely unflappable!
Pauline, India 2018
Every day was a highlight… Having my first hole in one on our first course was a great way to set up the rest of the tour!
Ken, India 2018
WOW moment would have to be the Taj Mahal at sunset. But honestly, the whole experience was a wow factor. The hotels were amazing. We loved what we saw and enjoyed the golf as it was part of the overall experience.
Jacky & John, India 2018
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.
Wayne, India 2016
There is a real feeling of being amongst the privileged when playing the exclusive golf courses.
Raymond, India 2016
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
