G Adventures made this easier & more fun than I was expecting. Because they only pick good restaurants & hotels to stop at (the hotels weren't luxurious but were fine) I never had a health problem because of the food while I was on the tour (I did eat something at a shop at New Delhi airport on the way home that had an undesirable effect). I had a different guide every day & they were all knowledgeable & made things interesting. I highly recommend this tour. I'll travel with G Adventures again.Show more
