Most memorable was seeing Taj Mahal and wild tigers. Loved Delhi old town rickshaw tour... Excellent (more)Paul Steele

If I must choose a highlight it would be seeing the Tigers at Ranthambore. However, just being in India was a wonderful experience in and off itself. (more)Gareth Jones

Amazing holiday with many fantastic memories (more)Sally Barber

Memorable parts? We really enjoyed traveling to both the North and South part of the country as it was great to experience very different lifestyles and cultures. Our favourite part of the trip was meeting the locals and getting to try all of the amazing foods that India has to offer, along with learnings the history behind each of the architectural masterpieces and cities we visited. Tips? It takes quite a lot of time to travel so book for at least 2 weeks and highly recommend staying... (more)Perrin Raudabaugh

The whole three week and four day trip was memorable and to define just one instance is difficult, the places we visited will be with us for a long time and the people couldn't have been more helpful... (more)Vernon Hunt

Cycling in Delhi and flying kites on the rooftops in Jaipur was the most memorable. (more)Caroline Tower

We three women had a wonderful time seeing a country with such rich history, diverse peoples and cultures, colorful clothing, amazing food, markets and ongoing activity. Every day was another adventure! We are definitely planning on going back to a different region of India. (more)Ruth Patterson

Memorable parts? Visiting Hampi was probably the highlight, but all of our destinations were memorable. Tips? Sit back and enjoy. It couldn't get much better. Local benefits? India seems to be more aware of environmental issues than we are in the west. Plastic bags were not much in sight, recycling was a common practice and everywhere we saw signs warning against the impact of abuse to our planet. Overall our experience was extremely positive, and we look forward to our next... (more)Malcolm Bulloch

Memorable parts? There were two big parts of our holiday: the culture and the nature. From a cultural perspective, we learned so much about the history of various cultures within Rajasthan. The forts we visited (Mehrangarh, Roopangarh, Amber) were amazing, but the highlight was definitely staying at Jog Niwas, where our host/organizer Shanane Davis lives. She taught us so much about patronage and connoisseurship, sharing with our whole family a remarkably vast knowledge about textiles, art,... (more)Robert Macauley

Remarkable - This was a wonderful holiday - The itinerary put together by Shanane gave us everything we wanted and more!! (more)Scott Paget

We had the most marvellous holiday ever, as everything had been superbly and seamlessly put in place by our tour organiser. Everything about the trip was exciting and memorable, because it was so different from Europe in every possible way. Of course, the Taj Mahal was a highlight, but so were the Aravelli hills, the city of Bikaner... (more)Annette Jones

The safari to Koeladeo National Park was the most memorable moment. One of the best holidays we have ever been on. (more)Jane Fisher

Truly memorable....The history and architecture - it was an incredible experience (more)Maria Craig

Visits to the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daula (Baby Taj) in Agra and Jantar Mantar (astronomical observatory) in Jaipur were the most memorable. It was absolutely fantastic - well organized, good choice of hotels (especially the Maidens in Delhi and the Mandawa Haveli in Agra), informative guides, a very skilled and safe driver, and visits to absolutely wonderful sites. (more)Charles Robson

So hard to decide between seeing the Taj Mahal and seeing my first tiger in the wild! Oh and then there was the leopard... (more)Carole MacLaren

Seeing tigers and leopards (an unexpected bonus) at really close quarters was the most memorable part. (more)Dave Torr

Actually seeing the tigers that we went to see was memorable - and very much more besides. A porcupine was a special unplanned and unexpected bonus. Faultless. A complex programme which was perfectly choreographed - and enjoyable to excess. (more)Ted Jackson

Memorable parts? Amazing sights and some wonderful hotels. Our driver and guides were really friendly and helpful. Driver did an amazing job - traffic, parking and roads have to be seen to be believed. Tips? Think carefully about your itinerary. We ended up having 4 very full on/busy days in the first week and a few too many rest days in the second, with a final day just hanging around in a very expensive hotel near the airport in Delhi just waiting to fly home. Local benefits? Tourism... (more)Susan Wilson

Was exciting from beginning to end...Excellent. Would recommend this operator. (more)Denise Brooks

Gwalior Palace and Khajaraho Jain temples (more)Paul Street

Indian train travel, sumptuous hotels and beautiful new Delhi were the most memorable parts of the holiday. (more)Lydia Walton

Memorable parts? History and culture. I enjoyed the amazing hotels we stayed in that were beautiful locations and historical. Tips? Due to distance between locations, ensure there are two nights at every hotel. There is significant time spent driving (in a car) between each location. If flying from Delhi during December / January be aware of fog delaying / cancelling flights. Local benefits? We visited local communities (e.g. Bishnoi, Samode) but not sure how it benefitted... (more)Tracey Warren

Memorable parts? Our wonderful driver Shibu, nothing was too much trouble for him, he was polite, always on time and spoke excellent English. He was very good with my husband who has limited mobility and helped him up steps etc. Tips? Book well in advance to get hotels of your choice. Local benefits? We were surprised how conscious Tamil Nadu were about the environment. For example all single use plastic is banned. One of the places we stayed Rajakkat Estate was very environmental...
