This was a great tour of the most touristy areas of Delhi, Agra, and Rajasthan. The tour guides were knowledgeable, helpful, and seemed to enjoy their work. They provided lots and lots of information about each of the sites visited. The driver stayed with us for the entire duration of the trip and did an amazing job of taking us everywhere we needed. The hotel in Agra was great, but the hotel in Jaipur, although nice, modern, and comfortable, was a bit out of the way and breakfast not up to standards. Overall, this was a great tour and is highly recommended.

I had a great trip through the beautiful Rajasthan. I was accompanied like an empress through this ramshackle country. I always felt very safe and comfortable with my kind driver. We always had an interesting conversation and also a lot of fun. It could not be better!!! All my insecurities about travelling alone as a woman through India quickly evaporated.
