India and Peru Tours and Trips

Everything about this incredible tour was over the top. Especially our tour guides who added unexpected delights each day. The accommodations were good to great, the options plentiful, the size of the group manageable with space to spread out. Pre and post extensions were first rate. My first, but certainly not last Collette tour.

We did this tour after a week in the North doing the golden triangle so it was nice to sample the north and the south of India - they are very different. The cycle routes were fabulous and as were in the main flat within most people’s ability. The tour should be named cycling the backwaters and coast of Kerala as more time is spent in the backwaters than on the coast - not a complaint as the backwaters are fabulous. The night on the houseboat was amazing and the home stay was better than we expected. A great way of seeing the area.

Great trip from beginning to end. Everything was as per the itinerary and superbly led by our tour leader G with a special mention to our driver Shiv who’s driving skills on the crazy Indian roads ensured we reached our destinations safely.

Fast paced, but covered a lot of places. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and obviously proud of his country. India was a bit overwhelming, but the people we met were very friendly

Raj was just brilliant. He looked after us and took care of all needs not just for when we were with the group, but those who had onward travels. He checked on our onward train travel from Delhi to Mumbai to make sure everything was in place before he left us. He went over and above his remit to just looking after the group.

We have done many trips with Explore and this was another fantastic trip around Kerala, the Western Ghats and Goa with a brilliant guide, great group of people and amazing experiences.
