Great tour with very knowledgeable guide. Four stars as room at Tulip Hotel at Gurgaon was grotty. Have reprted this to Go India on feedback form. Given the cost of the tour I felt as regards this particular hotel they could have done better. Tips were organised in advance but in the 11 years since I last visited India I found that hotel porters and toilet attendants were generally expecting tips routinely on top of that.

Incredibly well-organised tour which gives a wonderful introduction to India. The sights are so ancient and yet in amazing condition. It’s an onslaught to all the senses in a very positive and energising way. Highly recommended!

Hassle free and very efficient

I loved India, fascinating country despite the poverty & pollution. Such an interesting culture & people, welcomed everywhere we went with big smiles. The people dress in such fabulous colours & styles, it’s wonderful to see.
Our guide, driver & co pilot were excellent I couldn’t fault their attention to detail. They went the extra mile to make our Xmas experience the best. Our visit to Rathambore National Park was one of the highlights, when we got to see two female Bengal Tigers. Also loved Bundi which is off the main tourist route, so for me it was authentic & few tourists there.
All in all, a great way to spend Christmas.
I was ready for vegetables, when I got home & a while before I eat curry. However I go away to experience another culture not what I have at home.

Absolutely wonderful. Every meal was a banquet and busses were on time for every outing. The hotels were great Loved the itinerary and all our outings Really well organised. Better than I had expected in every way. Our tour director was extremely efficient and thought of every eventuality, sorting out a few errors which we, the group, created. He looked after one of our less mobile members of the group above and beyond the call of duty.

An extraordinary glimpse of this huge country. I’ll remember the chaos and noise; the colours and smiles; the Mughals and their artistry shown in their palaces and forts; the tigers and bears of Rathnambore NP and the exquisite Taj Mahal. It was a true assault on all the senses.

Extremely well organised. Tour guide not just very knowledgeable but also read the group dynamics and needs very well. Would definitely recommend this tour but be aware that it is very “full on” with busy schedules each day.

An excellent trip, very enjoyable! Our guides were very knowledgeable both in India and Bhutan. All of us thoroughly enjoyed the adventure!

We enjoyed the tour which was interesting and gave a quick view of life in that part of India.The tour was well organised and all the hotels were fine .We would criticise the food which became monotonous as all hotels and lunch places offered the same dishes ,some variety in the dishes would have been good .Also given the age of the group a chance to look at small gifts for grand children would have been good rather than higher end goods .The tour group moved well .

Great tour for first time visitors to India. Ample time spend at all the major sights and tour guide was very informative. Bus not of the same standard as what European travellers may be used to but still comfortable. Accommodation by and large average to good but meals very average at best with very little variation. Regardless we had a great time and can definitely recommend this tour.

Lovely adviser Matt

We added an extra day cut out the,night flight which was a big start.
18 days of the best experience of India an a ton packed tour of life and history of this beautiful country.

However not for the faint hearted. A lot of walking and long bus rides so you need to fairly fit as the temperature was also around 33 degrees + most days.
Highlight. Varanasi where my father came from. To "To tread the boards" where he was born was magic.

Twilight. There really was not one in this vibrant land.
