Wonderful trip, well planned, no glitches. Travel director was personable, knowledgeable and very helpful. The driver was truly skilled on all those winding, cliff roads. Safety and courtesy was always top of his mind. We enjoyed the entire trip and will be coming back next year.
Nadine | Traveled in May
I had a great time - when I saw my Tour Leader with the 'Explore' sign at the airport on arrival - I knew I was in safe hands - he was kind and generous with his time and had a passion which enthused. The accommodation was great - better than I expected and the 'immerse india' van for driving us from city to city was fast and efficient. I couldn't recommend this tour any more highly for those looking for adventure in India - I only hope my next explore holiday lives up to this first experience...

Our 3 day cruise was canceled due to our ship being stuck in the Strait of Hormuz because of the war. Colette compensated us by flying us over to the Isle of Santorini for 3 days and back. It is a beautiful island and we had plenty of time to see the island with some tours included. The remaining days of our tour were full of visits to places Paul may have been. The ruins in Thessaloniki were very interesting and we had a wonderful tour guide that day. We had an awesome tour manager for the entire trip who made sure that we saw as much as possible in the time that we had each day.
