There were many memorable moments - the scale and grandeur of the various palaces and forts with the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and Jaipur standing out... The marble carvings at the Jainist temple at Rankapore were quite extraordinary. We really enjoyed Bhindar, not just staying in the Palace, but the waking around the town without a tourist shop in sight! (more)Tim Johnston
Finding ourselves in India at Holi - and being involved! We were prepared, by our guide, for what would happen - the showering of colours onto friends and strangers alike - and so dressed accordingly, and joined in! As a result, we had great fun! (more)David Lynn

I have just come back from back-to-back trips with this operator. The first trip was to Indochina - Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. The most memorable part was being in Saigon for Chinese New Year - fantastic atmosphere! My tip (as someone who has no sense of direction) is not to worry about getting lost in the towns. It's so easy just to get a cycle rickshaw or a motor bike taxi. I bought food, drink and goods from street sellers wherever possible in order to benefit the local community, but I worry...

What part of my holiday wasn't memorable or exciting?? If I had to pick something, I would have to say hanging out with the Lobi villagers around Wechiau.
