    · January 9th, 2025
    I was alone on the tour which was not ideal, but apparently that happens a lot. The tours are small and unless you book with others you will be alone. As a woman traveling alone I was relieved that all my guides and drivers were very respectful and I always felt safe with them. The drop-off and pick-ups from the airport went smoothly and the guides were always waiting for me which I was very happy about. The itinerary was good, but the places you were supposed to visit on the drive to your next city never happened. For example, on the drive to Jaipur. The itinerary says you will stop and visit Samode Palace and Samode village and take a camel ride. I was told Samode was closed and we couldn't go which I didn't believe and was disappointing. Also the items that are supposed to be included are not. Such as the rickshaw ride which my guide Vickram made me pay for. My guide in Jaipur, Mr. Udai, was very good! The rest of the guides were fine. I had one driver for the whole trip and he was an excellent driver. He took the driving very seriously, I felt safe with him, and he was always there to pick me up. The only nice hotel was the Hotel Vesta Maurya Palace in Jaipur. The other hotels were versions of a Motel 6. The hotels in Delhi were the worst. However, even if the worst hotel I enjoyed the free breakfasts. The food was good and kept me going when I went sight seeing.

      TravelerWritten July 2023

      Would you reconfirm the final total price for the 12 days 'India Highlights with Varanasi' tour, 2 people, 5 star hotels, last night in Varanasi instead of Delhi? Cancellation policy seems very rigid. Could we apply a different policy like full refund until 60 days before, 50% until 30 days before?

    • Holidays AtOperatorWritten July 2023

      India Highlights with Varanasi tour @ EUR 1263 Per Person, Upgrade to 5 Star Deluxe Hotel @ EUR 580 Per Person. If cancelled between 60 to 40 Days before, 50% Cancellation charges will apply.
