    · October 3rd, 2025
    India trip was great. The pace was perfect, allowing us to take in the historical sites without feeling rushed. Ooty and Coonoor were peaceful respites from the hustle and bustle. Our guides were excellent, especially in explaining the local traditions and culture. Our tour driver ensured we were safe and well looked after throughout. Hotels were generally comfortable, though I’d have preferred a few more upscale options.

    Southern India amazing history and culture, and this tour provided a good knowledge. Heritage of Mysore and the spiritual significance of Madurai’s temples were unforgettable. Hotels were comfortable. Our driver Murli was always accommodating, and the guides made each stop educational and engaging. A great tour.

    Everything was very well handled. The guides were knowledgeable and adapted to our interests, making every historical site come alive. The hotels were mostly good, with clean rooms, though a few were a bit basic. The driver was fantastic always punctual. Ranthambore was a refreshing break from the cities with its wildlife and peaceful nature. The boat trip in Varanasi was a highlight and very moving. Highly recommend for first-timers to India.

    Donna

    Asked on December 17th, 2024

    Can this tour be modified? I want to add an extra night in Delhi, visit Mathura on the way to Agra, don't want to go to Ajanta Caves, and want to go to Shirdi and Ellora Caves on the same day. I plan to fly out from Aurangabad to Mumbai and would like to do 2 day tour in Mumbai. Do you have Mumbai tour packages?
