I recently retired and this was my first big “freedom trip.” I wasn’t looking for luxury. I just wanted something different from the usual cruise trips I took or all-inclusive. India and Dubai? I was totally out of my comfort zone, which made it incredible. Watching the chaos of Delhi traffic from the safety of our coach, standing in front of the Taj Mahal or riding through the desert dunes outside Dubai, it all felt great. The tour gave me structure but didn’t feel hand holding. The guide had patience for all our questions. This trip reminded me that you’re never too old to feel amazed.

If you're the kind of person who likes to go beyond the surface, this tour is for you. I joined the Heritage of Rajasthan trip with my cousin, and we were both impressed with how much heart and detail was put into every day of the journey. It didn’t feel rushed or overly “touristy.” We had time to enjoy each city—walk through narrow alleys, talk to local artisans, sip masala chai on rooftops. That’s what made it memorable.
Pushkar, in particular, was a highlight for me. Watching the rituals at the lake in the evening made me feel like I was witnessing something truly timeless. Jodhpur’s fort was massive and majestic, and Jaipur’s Amber Fort was like a real-life movie set. Udaipur felt like the opposite, serene and romantic. I still can’t believe I had dinner overlooking the lake with palace lights glowing in the background.
The accommodations were mid-range but charming: clean, comfortable, and often located in beautiful heritage properties. Our driver was fantastic, and our guide brought the history alive without being boring or overwhelming. He was also really approachable and made sure everyone in the group felt included.
One of the best parts was the group itself—it was a good mix of people from different backgrounds, and we all got along really well. It added another layer to the trip.
This wasn’t just a checklist of places—it was an experience that made me feel connected to the history, art, and people of Rajasthan.
