It was a great experience with some amazing sights. The tiger safari was the best for me as we saw a mother tiger with 3 cubs. The only downside was the early starts but we were prepared for that and a couple of visits to carpet factories which we could have done without.

GRJ have managed to create a unique and memorable holiday with this package! A fascinating insight into the Indian culture but we feel that we have only just scratched the surface of this wonderful country. The hotels (4* & 5*) were an excellent choice and we have recommended the holiday to everyone who has enquired about our experience. The photographs are of the Toy Train to Shimla, the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi going to his final prayer meeting and the Taj Mahal in the misty distance.

A very enjoyable experience. Janet was a very attentive tour manager: always available when needed, but not too intrusive, and Dilip was equally helpful, entertaining and informative. This was our sixth trip with GRJ / Rail Discoveries, and it won't be our last. The holiday was fairly demanding, with early starts some days, in order to catch trains and meet the timings needed for the various site visits, such as the Taj Mahal, Red Fort etc. The whole trip was an eye-opener, being exposed to a different culture. The hotels were all very good, and the service was (in our experience) always faultless.
