We recently completed the Bestseller Tour India with Nepal, flight included with Payless Tours India, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the start, communication with the company was smooth, responsive, and reliable. The tour was well organized while still allowing for flexibility and customization along the way. This gave us the comfort of a structured plan but also the freedom to adapt when needed. The heart of our trip was our driver, Mithun. He was much more than a driver, he was a wonderful travel companion. His skill in navigating India’s challenging traffic and roads gave us confidence and peace of mind every single day. He was always helpful, sharing his insights and showing us the heart of India. He was accommodating, and attentive to our needs, going above and beyond to make our journey special. Anyone lucky enough to have Mithun as their driver will be truly blessed. Unfortunately, the Nepal portion of the tour had to be canceled just a day before we were to travel to the Nepalese border due to the political upheaval (the Gen-Z revolution). While we were naturally disappointed, we also felt fortunate not to get caught up in the situation. Neeraj Sharma of Payless Tours and Mithun handled this challenge with great professionalism, immediately arranging an alternative itinerary for us. We spent eight extra days traveling slowly from Varanasi back to Delhi, with hotels included at no extra cost to us. The replacement program was well thought out, enriching and fascinating, making the best of a difficult circumstance. We were impressed with how quickly and smoothly this was organized. The hotels provided were comfortable and modern, generally 3-star standard with air-conditioning and the amenities we needed. If budget allowed, I might choose 5-star hotels next time for the added convenience and locations, but overall, the accommodations were perfectly fine for this style of trip. Traveling with Payless Tours meant we saw places and experiences that large bus groups often miss. We felt well cared for at all times and had opportunities to see India more up close and personal. Overall, I highly recommend Payless Tours India. You will be in very good hands, with excellent organization, caring staff, and drivers like Mithun who turn a trip into a memorable journey.

Harsh was an incredible tour guide! As someone who booked this trip very last minute, I was nervous about visiting India and navigating hotels, tourists sights, and local hotspots. From the moment our group met, Harsh took the time to explain everything, make sure everyone was well accommodated, and help us get everything we wanted out of the tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable with all the sights, allowed us all a good amount of free time, offered to take us to some off-the-beaten-track treasures during our free time, and made us all feel so welcome. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough and, as a second-time One Lifer, am very pleased with the overall experience offered by One Life Adventures. Will definitely be back to India and will definitely tour with One Life again!

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."
