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.

Date of our Adventure to India’s Golden Triangle. 3 March 2024 Absolutely loved it. Far exceeded our expectations. Travelled with my daughter. We felt safe and well looked after. Our guides were 100%. Cam our Indian guide was full of fun and cheeky jokes, and was so knowledgeable. Rob our Tour Manager, was there at all times, and attended to all the Groups needs. Drivers were unbelievably so patient and drove so expertly - avoiding the sacred cows. The tour was busy and mad. Getting up before the cock crowed - but boy was it worth it. India is a mad, crazy, well populated country. With beautiful smiley people. The colours, the buildings are superb. It is a country that makes you reflect and reevaluate your life If you are looking for a relaxed and restful holiday, not an adventure, this is not for you. I cannot express what wonderful sights that we saw throughout our journey in India. Unforgettable We are hoping to book again with Great Rail. Hopefully towards the end of next year - Sri Lanka Fingers x’d this will happen.
