Very varied trip! Super organized! The Indian travel agency (Holidays At) on site was excellent - all concerns (e.g. an extra night at the beginning / suitcase not coming with us at the transfer airport / domestic flight booking) were solved to our complete satisfaction!!!! The tour manager visited us at the hotel after both the South tour and the North tour and asked for feedback (in addition to the evaluation form) & discussions from us (hotels, drivers, local guides, program...)!!! The two drivers were also very good (gave us a lot of interesting information about life in India, made additional activities possible)!!! We would book with TourRadar and Holidays At again anytime!!!Show more
