VVikrant Joshi★★★★★
Booked the Golden Triangle 5-day Sightseeing with Triveni Cabs — Delhi, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur. Innova Crysta, same driver throughout, hotels were 4-star verified. The Mehtab Bagh sunset stop he suggested on Day 2 wasn't in the itinerary but became our trip's best photo.
AAnanya Kothari★★★★★
Used Triveni Cabs for Varanasi spiritual sightseeing. Subah-e-Banaras boat ride at 5 AM, Kashi Vishwanath corridor by 8, BHU campus tour, Sarnath afternoon. Driver respected our pace at every ghat, didn't push us to hurry. Most contemplative tour I've done in India.
AAkshay Bhalla★★★★★
Booked Triveni Cabs for the Delhi full-day city tour. Driver Ramesh knew Red Fort entry timing, Qutub Minar shortcut, and the best Old Delhi parantha stop in Chandni Chowk. Covered 7 attractions in 9 hours, didn't feel rushed.
