A fantastic adventure across India.

Starting in New Delhi we visited, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Mumbai and finally Goa. In country support was excellent, from travel agent to guides.

An Adventure in Northern India!

Our holiday exceeded our expectations on all levels. Accommodation was very varied from Home-stays to a 5* hotel. At all times we were well looked after at hotels, by our driver(s) and Guides. It was the experience we had hoped for, some of the highlights being, seeing two tigers on separate days, the Taj Mahal, and a rickshaw street food tour of Old Delhi

James listened to our requirements and came up with a proposed itinerary which we discussed as a group. The contents and presentation stood out from other itineraries sourced from other tour operators. James was very patient with our questions prior to the holiday and reassured us during the holiday with the uncertainty of Jet Airways.

Finding the real India

A time of variety and marked contrasts, enabling us to glimpse the culture, lifestyle and wildlife of this rapidly changing country. The local foods and customs were much enjoyed and being able to meeti with people in their homes provided insight into a different way of living.

They listened to our preferences and requirements and delivered the perfect holiday, including all the variety and interesting elements we had requested. What's more, transport and communications worked like clockwork and we didn't waste a minute of precious time. This was the holiday of a lifetime and we could not fault the service provided by Experience Travel Group.

Amazing & memorable

We visited Rajasthan, Shimla & Amritsar. The itinerary was perfect, hotels were amazing & exceeded our expectations. The sights were fabulous - I had to keep on pinching myself that I was actually at these incredible, world famous places. So much colour & sound - my head is still reeling from it. The people we met wonderful. I have left a piece of my heart & soul in India.
