India was beautiful and wild and enlightening. I came away wishing that I would have spent more time in one place. On a number of days of the tour the arrival time to a destination was late and the departure time the next day was early. Also the travel time between stops was sometimes up to 8 hours which made for a few mundane and frustrating days. The staff, from my driver to my guides to the owner were very friendly and helpful and responsive to my questions. Overall I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wishing to take a whirlwind survey of the Buddha’s journey from life to death. Be ready to walk away wishing that you would have gotten to know the country alot better.Show more
