Malcolm T | Traveled in May
The tour group, activities and guide were superb. Travelling alone, it was great to meet people from all over the world with widely differing backgrounds and I found myself participating in (and thoroughly enjoying) activities which I’d normally have avoided,.
Caitlin G | Traveled in April
Solo-ish India was a great trip for anyone who wants to connect with like-minded travelers to explore and discover this incredible country. A lot of my preconceived ideas about India were completely changed after this experience. Avneet was the best CEO to guide us on this journey.
M Shelley | Traveled in October
Never disappointed with G adventures! Always great, enthusiastic CEO?s and similar to a potluck dinner, the travel companions always seem to gel despite differing ages and cultures. India and Maldives was my 5 th G trip and I am already planning my 6 th!
James | Traveled in May

Excellent tour package with personal car and driver . We wish driver is more knowledgeable about each attraction and fluent in English and Hindi but we were able to communicate! Beginning till end we had a pleasant trip and good choice of hotels . Food in Kerala is mostly southern cuisine but few other choices are available at certain local restaurants. We had a beautiful experience and comfortable rides and stay .
William M | Traveled in April
As on my previous Dragoman trips, being with Dragoman means I don't have to worry about the mundane tasks of getting from Point A to Point B and then trying to figure out where to spend the night when I get there. I can focus on enjoying the overland travel experience, surrounded by like-minded people.
