- david· August 3rd, 2023Intrepid Travel to India far exceeded our expectations. Quality service, accommodations, first class daily excursions, and the BEST Tour GuidesShow moreReview collected by Intrepid Premium
- Nikki· August 3rd, 2023It is certainly a fast-paced tour, but it had to be to fit all the wonderful sites and experiences into the time available. Our biggest thank you to our guide. Not only did he help us, feel safe and secure, but the knowledge that he imparted with the passion and pride that he clearly holds for India made the explanations even more relevant and fulfilling. He was not afraid to broach the tough subjects, but in an impartial and positive manner, which left us feeling that we had an immeasurably better understanding of India’s culture, and beliefs, as well as it’s history, than we could have expected. He did a great job looking after the entire diverse group, and I think everybody was grateful for the brilliant way he handled issues and obstacles along the way.Show moreReview collected by Intrepid Premium
