The tour was excellent as a whole, so was the tour manager Anshuman Tripathi (Indie). He single-handedly made the tour much more enjoyable with his caring personalilty, always working extra to make sure our welfare was well taken care of. 3 suggestions to improve the tour are 1) add another day in Delhi so we can visit more attractions (Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, India Gate, Agrasen Ki Baoli, Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar), 2) optional night tour of Jaipur (Royal Gaitor Tumbas, Nahargarh Fort, Hawa Mahal, Birla Temple, Albert Hall Museum), and 3) the optional Nepal tour should end in Kathmandu, i.e., not requiring travellers to fly back to Delhi. Finally, I hope Collete will organize tours to the southern part of India and Sri Lanka.Show more

What a wonderful adventure and experience. Out tour guide Ashish was magnificent and always cared about our wellbeing and happiness. The Taj Mahal and Ganges river were both moving moments in my life. I have no words for the emotions I felt seeing the bengal tiger in the wild. The people were warm and friendly and the food most enjoyable. Hotels and busses were clean and comfortable. I do have one suggestion, include ALL tips in the price except the tour guide. This makes it so much easier for everyone. (this is how another tour company I travel with does it-they took our suggestion) As this is not an adventure for everyone, it has been a lifelong dream of mine to visit India . I am still on in awe reliving the journey in my mind and heart!Show more

Tour and Nepal extension were great, the tour guides were awesome. What prevents me from giving an excellent rating was the poor support and incorrect information provided by Collette in RI and the awful visit to Ranthambore, three of 15 days spent with little to see or do and four hours in a park where there was a 30 percent chance of seeing a tiger. There is so much to see in India...this was a wasted three days.Show more
