Our firsts

Somebody had to put India's tours online. In 2009, we did.


Every line below is a matter of record — the dates, the listings, the editions.

  1. 2009The beginning

    We put India's tours online

    When Indian travel still meant a phone call or a walk-in agent, Amin Tours put its tours and activities on the internet — the first company in the country to sell them that way.

  2. The TajFirst online

    The Taj Mahal, bookable from home

    We were the first to bring Taj Mahal tours and activities online, so a traveler in another country could plan the whole day before they landed.

  3. ReviewsTripadvisor

    The first on Tripadvisor

    The first Indian tour company to list on Tripadvisor, and the first to ask travelers to review their tours publicly — that is where our 12,000+ reviews began.

Recommended in the guidebooks


Lonely Planet India recommended Amin Tours in its 2013, 2015 and April 2017 editions; the French guide Petit Futé followed in 2019–2020. Neither can be bought — a writer traveled with us and wrote it down.

Questions travelers ask


  1. 01

    Are monument tickets included?

    Monument tickets are not included in the tour price, but you can add them while booking. Your guide then has them ready before you arrive, so you skip the ticket queue. Prices for every monument are listed on each tour page.

  2. 02

    Are meals included?

    On multi-day tours, breakfast is included with every hotel tier. Lunch and dinner are optional add-ons — each tour page lists per-person prices for multi-cuisine restaurants and 5-star hotels in every city you visit, and you can add them while booking.

  3. 03

    What languages are available for the guide?

    All nine guide languages are included at no extra cost: English, Hindi, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, and Russian. Tell us which you would like when booking and we assign a guide who speaks it.

  4. 04

    Is this a private tour?

    Yes — every Amin Tours tour is private. Only your group takes part, with a dedicated professional driver, a private air-conditioned car, and a licensed local guide throughout. Nothing is shared with other travelers.

  5. 05

    Where do you pick up?

    Tours from Delhi include pickup from any hotel, residence, or airport in Delhi, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurgaon (Gurugram), Ghaziabad, or Faridabad — including Delhi (IGI), Hindon, and Noida International (Jewar) airports. Agra and Jaipur tours pick up anywhere in those cities. Just share your flight details if you are arriving by air.

  6. 06

    How does booking and payment work?

    Choose your tour, date, and group size and send a booking request — on the website or directly on WhatsApp. We confirm availability within minutes, then send a secure payment link: pay in full, or hold your date with a token amount and settle the balance later. Prices are per person in US dollars.

  7. 07

    Can the vehicle be upgraded?

    Yes, on any tour. Vehicles are allocated by group size — sedan, MPV, SUV, Tempo Traveler, or coach — and an upgrade is available at an additional cost. Please ask in advance.

  8. 08

    Can the tour be tailored to us?

    Yes. Because every tour is private, the timings, the order of sightseeing, and the stops themselves can be adjusted. Tell us what you would like when booking, or talk it through with your guide on the day.

  9. 09

    Is support available 24/7 during the tour?

    Yes. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, throughout your tour — before it, during it, and after it.

  10. 10

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the tour begins, on every tour, with a full refund of any amount paid.
