What people love about 4-week tours
The best experience of my life. The tour was so well put together and we made the best memories all thanks to Amber, the best group leader that you could ask for. She was incredible with bringing the group together since day one that it never felt like we were strangers. I have now made friends for life. So many great locations and activities that I never even thought I would experience. As well as this, the hostels were all perfect. Great locations and facilities. Transport from place to place was really comfortable and easy. Could not recommend this tour more you will not regret it.

Great experience and great sights! Be prepared for the unexpected when in India! Tour guides where fantastic! Only reason for 4 stars was the accomodation is not great compared to all previous g tours!
- Oz East Coast + Work 28 days
I was originally supposed to be staying for only 10 days but the tour was so fun and well organised that I had to stay on for the rest. I have done multiple tours in the past but Val was the best group leader I have had. She felt like one of the group and was so helpful in sorting out any issues anyone had. 10/10 experience!
