Good value. Hotels could be a bit more "iconic". Our driver took us to his village to his house, and then asked for money for his children. You will need to make it very clear what YOU wish to do, inc. avoiding the "cottage industries" they want to take you to. Bought a ring at one, and upon trip return . . .found out it was a fake. This was in Jodphur.
Taj Mahal & Rajasthan with Royal Stay at CastlesThe itinerary was well designed with so many popular attractions. The price was affordable. All of the hotels were 3 star or 4 star. I am glad I did this tour.
Stunning Japan with Shirakawa-go (private 3 star hotel rooms)I made a trip to Egypt with TourRadar, it was a cruise down the Nile. It was fantastic, well organized and the tour guide kept us very safe. There were no hidden costs and fees. We were kept very safe and were taken good care of. There wasn't too much communication about flights and the boat beforehand, however all the reviews for Nile cruises said this was the norm for most if not all operators, however not to be worried about that. I did find out the details of flights quite late, only 1-2 days before the trip. Sadly this is normal for most Nile cruise operators, however the excellent reviews reassured me and the operator was very responsive to my emails, messages and questions which was very reasuring too. When the cruise started, due to the lack of communication, I was very positively surprised how amazing things were. Everything was a massive improvement on what I was expecting. The boat was amazing, the tour operator was amazing, no hidden charges, excellent aircon in an extremely hot location, excellent facilities, no hassling for tips, kept us away from scammers, fake deals and stores. The boat facilities and staff were amazing, it was a real 5* cruise that felt more like 10*. The food was amazing, excellent bar and disco lounge, wifi and internet were good, Neflix worked in all rooms, great internet for teenagers, boat had an excellent pool, excellent optional trips ... we were taken on boat rides, swimming in the Nile, excellent tour visits of temples and sites in a great aircon vehicle, very safe and excellent company in groups. The balloon ride was very safe above Luxor, professional with air traffic control, gentle rise and descent/landing with amazing views of sunrise and the historic sights. Amazing experience, only thing was more communication around how amazing things are would help everyone. It would just be good to know in advance that all communications about the trip would be only 1-2 days before the actual departure, so people don't get too nervous. This is normal, but it would make the tour operator stand out as amazing if more notice given of what to expect. All in all, very amazing even despite the lack of comms. It was an amazing life-changing experience. Highly recommended!. Egypt and Nile cruises are very safe, lots of police and security so one can feel very safe. Egyptions are very hospitable, welcoming, but they will scam you if you don't have a great tour guide. This tour operator protect you from all of that. I did some touring of Egypt before taking the cruise and things were 100% hassle free once I joined the tour with the amazing and professional tour guides that keep you safe and show you all the best sites. Highly recommended!

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."
