Recent Gujarat Reviews
Gujarat Trip Priced Better Than I Calculated
I had actually done a rough calculation before calling TourGrids — hotels, cabs, flights separately for Gujarat. Their package came in noticeably cheaper and included things I would have skipped to save money, like the Rann of Kutch resort and all intercity transfers. Traveled with my wife and we had zero complaints. The coordinator shared a detailed breakup on WhatsApp before we paid, no hidden charges anywhere. Hotels were proper good — not budget-looking despite the price. Meals were included at most stops which genuinely added up. What surprised me most was how little we had to think during the trip itself. Everything was already arranged before we even landed in Ahmedabad.
Gujarat Itinerary Built Over Three WhatsApp Calls
I had a rough idea of what I wanted — Rann of Kutch, Gir, maybe Dwarka — but no clue how to connect it all. Called TourGrids and they actually listened instead of pushing some standard package. Over a couple of calls and a long WhatsApp thread, the coordinator built an itinerary that fit our schedule and budget properly. My wife and I were travelling for our anniversary, so they also suggested a nicer stay in Kutch without us asking. Hotels were proper good, cabs were on time, and the pricing was upfront with no hidden charges anywhere. Honestly the planning part felt easier than booking a flight on my own.
