Traveler•Written June 2025Are you able to say the minimum/maximum number of people and their approximate ages who generally go on your tours? I am used to a group size of 12-16 with an age range of about 45-65 so I don't want to be with a very large group or with a lot of very young people who might want to go to clubs and party. Is the group primarily English speakers? Are you ABTA or ATOL registered, I don't know if this applies in India but in GB this ensures that the company are financially secure and carry necessary insurances to take people on trips. Finally are the tours in each city self guided or is their a guide?
