A wonderful adventure in two fascinating countries.Great mix of modes of transport and brilliant itinerary.Very well supported by tour leader and local guides.
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
A brilliant experience - enjoyed every minute of it - except at border controls !
Excellent tour encompassing lots of exciting sites. Comprehensive itinerary.
An amazing experience of a culture so totally different from our own. Superb accommodation and visits to outstanding sights and sites. Horoshima was deeply, deeply moving. Another visit at some stage is a must.
