Overall good. Hotel was not nice as the photos in the brochure. There were three or four stops for shopping, which took very long time. The shopping should be included in the brochure. After 7 days (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur), three people including myself went to Shimla, which was also fun. The travelling times between cities were long, which was very tiring yet inevitable because of the size of Inida. Again, it was a good experience although I mentioned some negative sides.Show more

The 5 days Taiwan tour with Edison tour agency was really a breathe of fresh air. From the best tour guide ever, Alan Chou. The smoothest driver!!! The well chosen hotels, it honestly felt like these hotels were hand selected...after a long day of visitng attractions, it's just what everyone needs to cool off and relax. Not too much to slack around but enough to feel the luxury. My favourite was day one, it's was a lot of steps but worth it, and the stay at Fleur de Chine wrapped up the day so nicely. I was doing morning runs every day of the trip and I must say, the first day really had great running trails.Show more
