Usha | Traveled in June
This tour company arranged a very 13-day trip for my friend and I to tour different places in South India. They were able to accommodate the places we wanted to see in South India (Tamil Nadu). They arranged nice hotels for us to stay in, had a nice safe driver who drove us to places we wanted to see, and arranged an overnight stay on the houseboat. Everything was well arranged and someone from the company was checking with us daily to see how out trip was panning out, and if we were enjoying our trip. My friend and I enjoyed our stay in the hotels they had chosen for us, and I would use them again if I plan to travel to India again, and would definitely recommend them to friends.
Kristy M | Traveled in June
Good quality gear that had no problems during the trip. Vehicle felt safe throughout, even with the poor quality of Indian roads and dangerous drivers (Jim, our driver, was fantastic).
Linda T | Traveled in June
Had a really great time - Gino and Jim were very good trip leaders and ensured that they were always on hand to answer any queries any one had. They also ensured that the group were kept fully informed about the tour.

Nick and Katie looked after and drove Daisy very well and safely throughout the trip. The Indians we encountered along the way were very curious about Daisy as she's a TATA truck - a great ice-breaker!
