Reviews of our India Budget Tours
Our budget travelers found great value exploring India — see their reviews.
Anonymous | Traveled in February
The tour was excellent as was our guide Ashish. We toured New Delhi ahead of the January 26th Independence Day and saw grand boulevards and temples. We traveled to Jaipur by bus to see the ancient city and rode an elephant to the entrance. Later we visited a jewelry maker to learn about the gems from India and see examples of jewelry for sale. Next we went to Agra to see the Taj Mahal which was stunning. From there we went to Ranthambhore National Park to see tigers in the wild. I would suggest this trip for seasoned travelers as the winter air can cause irritation and the crowds of enthusiast street venders can be a bit much.
JoAnne A. | Traveled in December
This was a trip of a lifetime. From the Taj Mahal, the Hotair Balloon ride, the beautiful mosques and temples of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and learning the customs and culture of a very happy humble and honest people, there is no way I could fault any portion of this trip. Finding a tiger is pretty special, too.

Everything about this incredible tour was over the top. Especially our tour guides who added unexpected delights each day. The accommodations were good to great, the options plentiful, the size of the group manageable with space to spread out. Pre and post extensions were first rate. My first, but certainly not last Collette tour.
Susan M. | Traveled in November
The inclusion of the program gave me an objective opportunity to feel and immerse in the culture. Ashish, the leader of articulation, culture, was leading for the 2 weeks; consistency, energy; exceptional. Ashish, enlivened the energy of the tour group. The energy, stimulation, openness of the tour group and Ashish; crossing borders and boundaries in formed and open cultural beliefs; attitudes were electric to recharge, openness of seeing new perspectives. This tour was a 10 in awakening, exposure. In gratitude privileged for the opportunity.

What a brilliant couple of weeks we had in India. Everything was taken care of without worry, feeling safe and free to take in all the trip had to offer. It was very full on with little time for rest. Our full recommendation to anyone looking to cover lots of Rajasthan and the Pushkar fest.

It was absolutely beautiful and the experience specifically in Sri Lanka was amazing. There was a ton of adaptability that allowed everyone's voice to feel heard while still staying to the roots of the country's significance.
