Would like to check availability for this tour

India is a great destination choice. The trip date you have enquired on is now on request with limited availability. We can go ahead and make this booking for you and then the ground agent in India will advise on availability. Alternatively the next available best dates would be: 1. Departure date: 24 February 2. Departure date: 7 March 3. Departure date: 21 March

What hotels would be staying in. We would like to book 1-2 extra because we are planning on getting there on Feb 1st

We are traveling standby-so we are planning to leave on January 31 & arriving Wednesday night at 10pm. Would the transfers (ride to hotel) be part of the package. Or would be getting our own ride to hotel. Just asking because we are getting in late at night.

We loved Jaipur, seeing the fort and getting time in the markets. We loved staying in the Umaid Palace.

Excellent tour to see the essentials of India. The group size was intimate and didn't have the feel of being herded like cattle. The guide (Sanjeev) was fantastic. We was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we were comfortable and accommodated our preferences. The lodging was excellent in amazing locations. And there were many options for food. You didn't always have to eat local cuisine. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants a quick and complete look into India.Show more

- Explore!Operator•Written January 2024
  The trip package includes airport transfers only on the day the tour starts and on the day the tour ends. If you arrive a couple of days before the tour starts then you would need to make your own way to the accommodation from the airport. Then on the day the tour starts you need to arrive at the hotel in Delhi by 2pm. The first night's hotel is Rockland Hotel - Chitranjan Park.
