India Art and architecture Trips

The rail trip across north India with Explore was undoubtedly a magical and once in a lifetime experience. The itinerary was jam packed and whilst exhausting with early starts and long rail journeys, it ensured we made the most of the 14 days . The accommodation was varied, sometimes underwhelming but on the whole acceptable. For the price we paid, Explore could make improvements, as It’s so cheap in India . Amritsar was my highlight, the golden temple and the border crossing was a glorious end to an incredible adventure. Extend your stay here if possible , we had an extra day and loved wandering around, exploring the winding streets close by the temple.

Our guide, Pradeep, was fantastic and really made the trip as he was so knowledgeable. Everything ran seamlessly from start to finish and we really got a feel for the local area as well as tourist bucket list moments!

Fabulous holiday, action packed but with comfort in mind. There were 10 of us travelling in a spacious air conditioned bus and a great leader, Anil who knew everything about Indian history, food, culture, architecture. The views were amazing and every day we were astonished at the workmanship of the buildings in front of us. Thanks to Anil we were kept up to date with everything to do with the history of the buildings. I would fully recommend this trip to anyone wanting to see such iconic buildings and a taste of true India.

Aníl was a fantastic tour leader with great organisational skills meaning everything was seamless. The hotels were all above my Explore expectations and the transport and driver were first class. Anil took us to great restaurants and we ate amazing food. The sites we visited were just as amazing as when l did the same Explore tour 16 years ago. Great group also added to the enjoyment of the trip.

A brilliant tour guide who was exceptional at making our trip memorable. Great education on the history of India through tours of Mughal palaces and forts. Great experience of the culture in Varanasi. Good visit to the Tiger safari, we did not see a Tiger but the rest of our group did. (We had a guide from the forestry dept that spoke very little English, not helpful but we were restricted by who was sent to guide us.) Good food and accommodation with our tour guide. He took care of almost all the tipping with was a great bonus for Explore.

One of my friend told me about the team and I called them to book a package for one day trip to Agra. I am really happy with the way they conducted this trip, they are professional and very helpful. Thank you guys... definitely recommended for all of visitors.....
