A really well organised trip. A mixture of train trips & coach journeys took us around Shimla & the Golden Triangle. We experienced Delhi & Jaipur, not only the monuments but saw life on the streets as we travelled by tuk tuk. Highlights included the Taj Mahal & the mausoleum & house of Gandhi & our tiger safari . It was a good crowd of people on this tour & everyone got on. Our tour manager Phil was very knowledgeable & great at organising everything & our local guide Dillip had great knowledge & shared it on our excursions & guided us through train stations & onto the trains, up to viewpoints in the Himalayas, to numerous monuments . I would certainly recommend this trip & this company.

Excellent trip, and excellent support from Great Rail and the Tour Manager when I had to wait for insurance company to bring me home after an injury. Excellent back up plan when the Monsoon rain caused problems with our initial itinerary. Thank you so much for all your support.
