New Delhi Tours in February 2027

Neha, our Explore guide, was better than outstanding. She really cared for her country and wanted us to see and understand the country and enjoy it as much as she does. So, she told us some history, not overwhelming amounts, explained issues and always could answer questions. She never told us too much initially so we could enjoy the awesomeness of the place. She has also kept in touch as a friend since

Brilliant trip. Highly recommend. Very full on, cramming in so much in 2 weeks & we saw & did so much. Tour leader Indu was outstanding & went out of his way to make it special. Some long journeys but worth it; no time wasted trying to sort stuff out so all very efficient from start to finish.

My first experience of Explore and this holiday exceeded my expectations on all levels. It was so easy and the guide was second to none! As we explored Delhi, Agra and Jaipur our guide carefully explained the culture and heritage of India so that we could put all that we saw in context. A fabulous, funny, life affirming and full-on experience. Thank you.

We were blessed with the best guide/fixer in Indu Singh and if you want to see everything you wanted to see in Northern India then this trip is for you. Taj Mahal, Jaipur, Delhi, Ranthambore, Chambal, Varanasi and Agra were fantastic . Some early starts and lots of driving meant we could see all the marvelous things.

After the palaces of Rajasthan, the rustic accommodations in Ranthambore were a little disappointing—however the staff was great and the reports from other visitors staying in different hotels indicated that most of the accommodations in the area were similar. The jeep safaris were quite crowded and as we were the last to board left little room. Again, the guides were helpful and shifted seats so that my wife got enough room. I enjoyed all the wildlife and though tigers were not present for most of the excursions, we did get to see one at the end. Explore! had tour leaders and drivers to get us back and forth to the train and they were quite conscientious about getting us to places on time

This was an excellent trip full of interest. The highlights were seeing the Taj Mahal at dawn, a boat trip on the Chambal River looking at crocodiles and numerous birds, and the visit to Varanasi. The overnight train to Varanasi was overcrowded with people sitting in all the corridors. It wasn’t the most comfortable night but apparently this was unusual due to the exceptional number of visitors going to Varanasi for the Kumb Mela Hindu festival. The overnight train back to Delhi was a much better experience. Our tour leader, Indu, was outstanding, taking great care of us and frequently going out of his way to give us the best experience, even staying awake all night on an overnight train to ensure that we were all ok. The hotels were all pretty good but there was an occasional leaky bathroom. We had a comfortable bus and a vary capable driver who coped well with some difficult roads.
