This tour was awesome! Well-coordinated so that it maximizes your time in each place in these 12 days. I got to see the Taj Mahal at sunrise when it had clear skies and no scaffolding! Lucky us! Tour guides were great and a shout out to Mr. Balbir Singh, our driver. Got us to places safely and on time. Highly recommended Exotic Luxury Holiday.

We did the 12-day India tour with Gems of Rajsthan. Our guide made this tour an exceptional cultural experience for us. We visited temples while ceremonies were being held, helped volunteers make chapatis in a Sikh ‘soup kitchen’, learned about block printing textiles, gem stones and rug weaving and more. The dinners our guide planned in the gardens of Heritage hotels were magical. We had access to experiences we never would have had on our own. I highly recommend & Special Thanks to Exotic Luxury Holiday Team.

I had a great trip through the beautiful India with Gems of 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.
