I have travelled twice with Sanjay Sharma and Vanguard tours in India, and have found him to be one of the most professional, friendly and creative guides I have encountered. Sanjay makes travel in India a pleasure. His insight, depth of knowledge and extensive planning allow travellers to experience his vast country in a secure way that leaves them free to explore the history and culture of this unique place. For me, Sanjay and Vanguard are the only way to experience India.

Sanjay Sharma was our guide for our trip to Northern India. Because of his knowledge of the history of India and his dedication to providing the best possible experience for his clients, it was truly one of the best trips we have taken. Sanjay selected the most luxurious hotels, where the service and suites were exceptional. We have travelled to many places in the world, but we are still are recommending India as a destination they shouldn’t miss and they must have Sanjay as their guide.

“Vacations are very important to my wife and me, and so we spend time and effort preparing for them. We’ve been fortunate enough to have visited many places around the world, but we had never been to Rajasthan (India). We mainly use a UK tour company to organise our trips: they provide us with a driver for the duration, and separate guides along the way. On this trip, Sanjay was our guide. He was not only the best guide we had during the trip, he is the best guide we have had anywhere in the world ! Such a huge, and rightly deserved, compliment demands justification – after all not everyone likes the same thing. What we valued from Sanjay includes:
• him taking time at the outset to understand what we wanted to get from the trip, and adjusting the experience to meet those wants/needs
• his extensive knowledge – not just of historical facts and religious beliefs, but also of practical things such as knowing where the crowds would be at a given time and then helping us to avoid them
• his enthusiasm – he clearly loves his subject and his profession
As we told you at the time, Sanjay, we will come back to India; and we will ask for you to be our guide for the whole trip”

Hi Sanjay
“We have travelled all over the world and have never meet a more personable, knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide like Sanjay Sharma. His India tour organised by Vanguard Tours India was world class. He anticipated everything and even made time to help us find clothes for a wedding. We have recommended him to other people with confidence that they will love him as much as we do and they did.”

“We have been fortunate to have visited 52 different countries and have enjoyed the benefit of guides in many of them. Sanjay is absolutely the very best and most knowledgeable we have ever encountered. He has an extraordinary sense of how to help travellers understand the nuances of culture and history, politics and society, and the joys and challenges of daily life. Most importantly, he is a man of integrity, decency and good humor.” All of the above is absolutely true, Sanjay

Sanjay and his team with Vanguard Tours India were responsible for our remarkable India & Rajasthan tour, likely our most memorable trip. From the moment we arrived in New Delhi to our departure from Mumbai a month later, every single element of our experience was beyond superb. Travel by air, auto and train was seamlessly integrated with spectacular accommodations and dining. The cultural and historic insights Sanjay provided are what really sets him apart from other Tour Operators. But what is so special, what separates Sanjay from the rest of mankind is his warmth, sensitivity and generosity. This is what we tell others about Sanjay and what we look forward to on our next tour, upcoming as soon as his schedule allows.
