A perfect way to experience two beautiful countries. The itinerary is well balanced and provides a wonderful insight into the countries, their people, their history and hopes for the future.
All activities were well planned out. Our tour manager was wonderful.
A wonderfully organised experience that we thoroughly enjoyed
Excellent holiday! First time on a Great Rail Journeys trip and we were very impressed with their professionalism. When things didn’t quite go according to plan they worked really hard in order to make things right. The trip itself was very full on - we felt we’d been away for longer than 2 weeks, but it covered so much that we felt that we’d really had value for money. Darjeeling was an amazing place -we loved it and Bhutan was a very beautiful country. We will definitely travel with them again!
As always GRJ came up trumps. We had a lovely friendly just right Alex Green to accompany us from London and the marvellous local guide Sithara Hettiarahichi who went the extra mile in arranging local lunches and dinners and 'extra' stops at places of interest breaking up the coach travel brilliantly. The train journeys were just AMAZING and the hotels, including both the changed ones to the Cinammon chain, were lovely. What a wonderful trip to beautiful Sri Lanka it will live long in the memory.
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Thoroughly enjoyed our adventure through India
Extremely well organised holiday which gave a very wide and varied experience of India. The Tour Manager and local Tour Guide were absolutely superb. Any issues that arose were dealt with immediately and the Guide's knowledge and passion for his country was marvellous. A great holiday.
A brilliant experience - enjoyed every minute of it - except at border controls !
Excellent tour encompassing lots of exciting sites. Comprehensive itinerary.

India has to be one of the most colourful countries in the world. From the vibrant celebration clothes worn by both men and women, decorated in extraordinary amounts of beadwork and mirrors.

There's nothing which quite imbues us with existentialist wonder as an ancient monument from a lost civilisation.
