Unlike previous tours where hidden costs piled up, we appreciated your transparent approach. The upfront pricing made budgeting much easier for us. The itinerary struck a perfect balance between popular tourist cities and quieter, more serene places, allowing us to experience both sides of India.The accommodations were exceptional, especially the heritage hotels which offered a unique charm and character that we preferred over Western-style hotels. A special mention goes to our driver, Mr. Neghi. His friendly demeanor, openness, and exceptional care made our journeys safe and enjoyable. We truly felt at ease with him behind the wheel.We will definitely miss the delicious Indian food! It was a culinary delight at every meal.
