This tour has most definitely been the best experience I've ever had in my life, Surya you have been outstanding and we couldn't of wish for a better tour guide. You've made time our time in one of the most hectic countries on earth, relaxed and entertaining throughout, we cannot thank you enough for everything you've done for us but what I will say is I no longer consider you our tour guide and now a friend instead
I honestly was sceptical about booking a tour to India, however this tour surpassed my expectations and was better than what I ever could have imagined. From start to finish the tour was ran excellently and gave me the chance to experience once in a lifetime opportunities and a different side to India, that I will cherish and remember forever. From first touching down in India, I was welcomed with my Tru-travel booked taxi which was a stress-free experience and took me direct to the start up hotel. The welcome brief and drinks in the evening were a great ice breaker and chance to meet everybody else. The tour of Delhi was extremely eye opening, learning lots about the different cultures and every day life from local guides which was a great insight. Also with the visit to the Sikh temple - this was a great extra addition and thoroughly enjoyable, especially being able to help participate with cooking for the masses. The real highlight for me was visiting the Taj Mahal, great idea to visit as early as possible to beat the crowds, a truly breathtaking visit and honestly makes you lost for words - I don't need to say no more! Every single activity whether it's the visit to the palace on route to the safari, the safari itself (what makes this tour unique) and being fortunate to witness a tiger was unbelievable, in addition - Bollywood dancing, night in Jaipur, pink palace, amber fort, Kerala beach/bike tour and the boat trip were fantastic and really can't have any complaints about them at all, the itinerary is truly spot on. The only slight disappoint for me on the whole trip was regarding the cooking class - the food was delicious but there wasn't enough hands on cooking for me and I would have loved to have been involved more in making and producing food, along with then hopefully eating my own creation! The only other way I believe the tour can be improved is if its simply extended so more of this beautiful country can be seen, i.e Goa or Mumbai!
Surya was an amazing tour guide, nothing was too much trouble for him. He was very chilled and laid back and became one of all of our friends by the end of the trip. I cannot thank him enough for showing us the beauty of this country and the people and the culture.
