I purchased this as a group tour, only to find on arrival that I was a group of one. While I had a good time due to my private car and driver with guides at individual sites, I would have preferred not eating alone at most restaurants. Thankfully, Indian people are among the friendliest on the planet and I was very satisfied with the program and accommodations. One downside, I was never sure how much to tip guides and even though I asked for guidance from the tour manager, he refused to even give a broad range of what was typical.Show more
