This was a truly amazing experience which I highly recommend. The organisation both pre and throughout the trip was superb. Our tour manager, Oliver, ensured that everything ran efficiently and was able to manage any concerns effectively and professionally. We were definitely extremely well looked after during our stay in India. Dilip, our guide, had a wealth of knowledge which he delivered with expertly with humour. Thank you to both of them. All of the hotels were, at the very least, a good standard and some were excellent. Although there were some long distances to be travelled this was all enjoyable and part of the experience that is India. Our group was a little large but we all got on extremely well and I have many wonderful memories and will remain in contact with some from our group.

This was an amazing experience. We saw so much and were led by two real professionals- Oliver and Dilip. My only real concern was the size of the group -40. Luckily nothing serious happened but I did think it would have been a real problem for the tour leader to manage if something had. Risk assessment?? Having said that the organisation of the whole tour was second to none. Highlights for me were Shimla seeing the tiger and other wildlife and visiting the art gallery. I would recommend this holiday to friends and family but warn them they need stamina!!!

India is much more than a holiday. Its an experience that fills all the senses to overflowing. Top class hotels & guides. Recommend the Golden Triangle, Tigers & Shimla to all my friends.
