What people love about touring Northern India solo
- 3 Days Guided Tour Delhi With Taj Mahal By Flight From Mumbai
The tour was very good. I loved the hotels especially bristol hotel. I think all meals and everything should be included. Was a little upset that i had to stand up for that. All entries into all things we visited for sure should be added with out having to insist on it. The tour guides were very good and helpful and made my trip very nice and cab driver was very nice (wish he spoke more english but he was very kind and nice)
- Kolkata to Amritsar
It was a great and memorable trip with a very interesting and varied itinerary. The essential part, as mentioned, was having a truly great guide - Pema Bhutia.
- India's Best Himalayas Foothills & Golden Triangle Tour - 12 Days
Great experience of India tour and lovely Himalaya that we have seen and all has been fantastic. Thank you for great take care of us
