A few too many Temples and Shrines and not enough contact with everyday life, city and rural/country. Great group to travel with and an excellent tour guide. OK travelling solo, except the additional cost. Optional extras always worth participating in and paying for.

Swastik India Journeys made my dream come true! PROS: From the early planning stages, rest assured Karni responds swiftly to all your concerns (via Whatsapp, email, texts) whether you want a hotel upgrade or additional excursions, he will make it happen! Overall, we enjoyed our vacation! Besides a well-planned itinerary, we give paramount praise to our amazing driver, GL, for keeping us safe and secure dodging India's incredible traffic. He made sure our brand new vehicle was nice & clean, windows were streak-free (truly appreciate this; my pictures thanks you!), and bottled water was available daily. GL was also good at reminding us of our daily activities & made sure we were on schedule. Accommodations were a mix of comfortable, decent, superb; of which the castle stays were unique & exquisite! Most of the local guides were great! CONS: Prior knowledge of total entrance fees & tipping guidelines would have been very helpful in how much cash to carry as our debit cards did not function in some ATM's. Location of Jaipur & Udaipur hotels would have been nice if it were closer/walkable to city center & tourist areas since there are lots to do in both those cities. Jungle Cave Resort @ Ranthambore wont accept credit cards; also refuses to change/break large bills for tipping staff.

I I’ve been on many such tours throughout Southeast Asia, and South America. Our guide Steve was the Greatest. Informative and funny. We we’re under the impression it was going to be a small group tour, where in fact, it was a full bus load.

What our customers ask about Fully Guided Tours & Trips
What are fully guided accommodations like?
You'll stay in comfortable 3-5 star hotels chosen for their location and quality. In Japan, this means places like the Star Gate Hotel near Kansai Airport and Osaka Castle Hotel. If you're headed to Egypt, you'll split your time between nice hotels like the Tolip Golden Plaza in Cairo and boats for your Nile cruise. One happy traveler put it well: "The hotels throughout the tour were all clean and comfortable. Our accommodation was everywhere acceptable and in nice boutique hotels."
How do you get around on fully guided tours?
Your guide takes care of all the travel details, so you can relax. You'll ride in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles - small vans for smaller groups or larger buses when needed. In India, for example, groups of 4-5 travel in Toyota Innovas. Some trips mix it up with special travel experiences, like taking an overnight train in Vietnam or cruising down the Nile in Egypt. Your guide handles everything, including making sure your bags get to your room.
How active are fully guided tours?
It really depends on the tour, but most keep things at an easy to moderate level. You might walk for 2-3 hours on city tours, climb some stairs at temples or museums, or take optional hikes. In Japan, for instance, the Mount Fuji visit includes some walking at 7,546 feet (2,300m). Your guide will make sure the pace works for everyone in the group, and you'll have plenty of downtime at your hotel to rest up between activities.
How much free time do you get on fully guided tours?
You typically get 2-4 hours of free time each day to explore on your own. In India, for example, many tours do sightseeing in the morning and leave afternoons open. Your guide (travelers often mention guides like Neeraj) will suggest great things to do during your free time. Some tours also offer optional activities - like visiting the Abu Simbel temples in Egypt - if you want to add more to your day.
When's the best time to take a fully guided tour?
It really depends where you're going. Vietnam is best from October to March when you'll miss the monsoon season. Morocco shines in spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) when the weather is warm but not too hot. As one traveler who went to Vietnam shared: "We went in April and had perfect weather - not too hot or rainy, making the outdoor activities much more enjoyable."
