    What I loved most was how each city felt like a different chapter in a history book. Rajasthan were like open-air art galleries, Jaipur and Bikaner fort was massive and impressive. Our guide made sure we understood the cultural context, and the driver was incredibly professional and courteous. The hotels were clean and had good service. Definitely a rich cultural experience worth every penny.

    During the tour we see the authentic side of India without sacrificing comfort. There were days of intense sightseeing, but the guides kept it interesting with personal stories and humor. Food was generally good at the hotel restaurants. The highlight was Rajasthan and Taj such a romantic and peaceful place. Our driver handled Indian traffic like a pro and kept us on schedule without stress.
