We had 5 days on board, as part of a tour organised by Great Rail Journeys. The highlights were the welcome we received both on and off the train, including our "Carriage boy", Fateh, who looked after us while on board. Food and service on board was excellent, as were most of the included visits. The lowlight, and main reason for not getting 5 stars, was the Ranthambore NP experience. We were placed in a "Cantor", effectively a cattle truck, with a disinterested guide who our group ended up pointing things out to. If you are expecting to see a Tiger, this is not the way to do it.

This was a fabulous tour with some amazing places and sights. The arrangements made by GRJ were excellent and the journey on the Palace on Wheels was memorable and enjoyable. There were some niggles but they were soon sorted by our great Tour Manager, Jackie. Great group of people - India is so vibrant and friendly.

This was a wonderful experience in the full safety of an escorted tour. It was easy to experience the sights, sounds and colours of India. The palace on wheels was typical of its era, comfortable and friendly. Highly recommended. Some of the day trips were too long and information often repeated by the local guides. Omitted was a visit to the step well which was on my bucket list so very disappointed with this. The toy train to Shimla was interesting but not comfortable. Overall worth doing if you like living out of a suitcase.

Great, full on India experience. For me the highlights were Jaipur and Agra. Lots of travelling and perhaps an extra day in Jaipur and Agra would have improved the trip You will need a couple of days at the end to recover

The tour was absolutely excellent. The accommodation, the restaurants chosen, the itinerary, were all superb as were the guides everywhere.
