Overall, the itinerary was smooth and well organized, with good service quality. Most of the hotels and transportation were stable and reliable. However, some hotels could improve their cleanliness and maintenance. After Jaipur, the same driver handled the remaining itinerary. There were a few instances where parts of the schedule were not followed as planned, which was a bit disappointing. That said, whenever we reported issues to the organizer, they responded promptly and handled them well, which we appreciated. Thanks for the overall arrangement—it made our trip smooth and enjoyable.Show more

As a solo female traveler I always felt safe and had a wonderful time. the sites met and exceeded my expectations. Traveling between locations was very interesting because the country side areas are very rural with many small plots of fields that are tended by hand not much farm machinery. My drivers were amazing. The way drivers are aware of all the vehicles around them and all of them can move within inches of each other and never touch is impressive. Gwalior was my surprise locations with its beauty and connections, historically, to other locations on the trip. I did get to see tigers in the wild which was one of my main reasons for the trip. It was well worth the time in the air and airports to make this trip.Show more
