General FAQs

How many people will be on my trip?

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips, you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website.

As we had limited time in India, we decided to book this tour – what a great decision that turned out to be! We were picked up at the airport by our wonderful driver, we felt safe at all times on the very busy roads. The car was comfortable and air-conditioned, and we had a constant supply of cold drinks which was so welcome as it was very hot. We had a designated guide at every destination, they were all very knowledgeable, and really enhanced our visit. We stopped for lunch each day at great local restaurants, the food was fantastic. We stayed in some excellent hotels.! This tour is highly recommended, we loved it.

This company do a very good job with there trips, they are made for you, picked up at your hotel, phoned 5 mins before the driver arrives. We had 6 trips with this company and 2 were boat trips. we had a trip with another company and it was overpriced and not as personal as one organized by Exotic Luxury Holiday, so if you do not see a trip advertised just ask and they will try and make it for you.
