    · October 3rd, 2025
    This 15-day tour was a fantastic experience of India. Historical sites, cultural experiences, and spiritual sites made this trip truly special. Visiting amazing landmarks, like India Gate and Qutub Minar, was a great start, and the camel ride in Jaisalmer was an experience I’ll never forget. Varanasi Ganges Aarti was a highlight something I will always treasure. Loca guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and they gave us deep insights into the country history. All hotels were good but for good comfort upgrade hotels. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this tour.

    Excellent coordination on this 10-day tour. Our driver was polite, steady, and handled the hills confidently. All hotels were pre-booked and ready on arrival. Guides made each place more memorable with their insights, particularly in Mcleodganj and Manali. Every sightseeing point was planned to avoid crowds. We also appreciated the little things like water bottles in the car and timely breaks. It’s clear this team knows how to manage mountain tours with care and experience.

    · October 2nd, 2025
    I recently completed the 15-day tour with UncleSam Holidays, and it exceeded all my expectations. I’ve traveled quite a bit, but the historical depth and cultural immersion in this itinerary were something I had never experienced before. From the bustling streets of Delhi to the spiritual heart of Varanasi, every place told a unique story. The camel ride in Jaisalmer was a surreal experience, and the boat ride on the Ganges in Varanasi was deeply moving. The hotels were all great, offering comfort after long days of sightseeing. Special thanks to our guides, who made the history come alive with their stories. Definitely recommend this tour.
