There is no place in the World like India. We saw and experienced so much of India that would have been many degrees more difficult or impossible without the guidance and expertise of our CEO, Manu.

Really enjoyed this tour. A great way to see some of the main spots in Northern India in a short space of time. Highlights were the Taj Mahal and Jaipur, especially the bike tour on our last morning in Jaipur. Manu was a great guide and brought us to some really good restaurants for delicious food. Felt safe throughout. Would definitely recommend.
