We love this itinerary, however we would also love to add a visit to Jaipur and Agra? We would love to spend 2 days in each city. Is this something you could help us add on to the trip?

On your tours, does one guide stay with us the whole time or will we have different local guide?

Delhi was historic and energetic. The visit to the Dalai Lama's monastery in Dharamshala was peaceful.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. I wasn’t really sure what to expect and, realistically, I didn’t have any particular expectations. However, the experience exceeded anything I could have imagined. Ronak was an amazing driver calm, careful, and professional at all times, even in the madness of Indian traffic. He was always courteous, polite, and made me feel safe throughout the journey. The guides were also excellent. They were knowledgeable, informative, and always happy to share their insights and answer our questions. This was my first tour with HOLIDAYSAT company, and I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was a memorable journey, and I’m very grateful to everyone who contributed to making it such a wonderful trip.Show more
