India Tours for Seniors
India is a true sensory overload in best way possible. Imagine exploring Delhi's monuments and markets, visiting Agra's Taj Mahal, discovering Jaipur's pink palaces, touring Varanasi's ghats, and experiencing Kerala's backwaters. You’ll get to taste regional cuisines, see spirituality everywhere, and experience colors and chaos. India either overwhelms or transforms you, and both options are mind-blowing in the best way possible.

What people love about India Tours for Seniors
- Premium India in Depth (8 destinations)
The itinerary was great (except for one activity), the chosen accommodation and meal events/locations were also great as was the special events. The tour guide, Anil was tops, very informative, could ask any question, kept us on track, all combing for a wonderful tour.
- Taj Mahal & Rajasthan with Royal Stay at Castles
Our tour with Swastik was absolutely fabulous from beginning to end. I worked with Karni to personalize our tour and add on a further day to include Jhalana Leopard safari before booking. Along the way we also added on extra activities and Karni was really helpful and quick to respond to our requests. During our 15 day tour we had Mahi as our driver who was really excellent. He had great English and looked after us at all times, above and beyond what we expected of a driver. We always felt safe, which is an important factor when 2 females are travelling in a country they are unfamiliar with. We learnt so much from him on our car rides between locations. He was always punctual, respectful and gave us great recommendations for restaurants etc. Ask for Mahi as your driver, you won't be disappointed. At each new location we also had private guides that were friendly and professional and full of knowledge about the places we were visiting. This really enhanced our trip. The pace of the tour was perfect as we went out early for the activities and had the afternoons to chill and relax and their was some flexibility around this. The quality of the hotels were very good and we upgraded some of them to 4 stars. I would definitely recommend this travel company and look forward to travelling with them again in the future. Our introduction to India was more than we could ever have imagined and I can't stop talking about the wonderful time we have just had. If you are hesitating, stop now and JUST BOOK!!!
