What people love about India Tours in October
Our tour guide was fantastic, showing us around everything! Very knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you!!
Heart of India (5 Destinations)
This was an amazing trip. Every single stop on the itinerary was worth visiting. It's hard to mention highlights, but obviously the Taj Mahal and the boat ride(s) on the Ganges rank very high. But also the stay in Tordy Garh, in a beautiful Heritage hotel, was amazing. I have to thank our team leader Gajraj, without whom we could never have experienced everything we did. He made sure that everyone was OK all the time and that we got to see what needed to be seen, while still leaving us with all the free time time we needed. As this is a "basix" tour, you can't expect luxury hotels, but the places we stayed at, were all very good value for money. And last but not least, you can't do a group tour without fellow travellers, all of which were very nice people. At (almost) 48, I was the oldest of the bunch, but from the youngest to the oldest, everyone had a great time. And if you can spare the cash, do take the optional balloon safari in Jaipur ! All in all, I can recommend this trip to everyone, old and young.
