Essential Rajasthan & Taj Mahal by Petal, 1 Nov 2016
Holiday Rating:

Wonderful time seeing the many sides of India.

As well as visiting the usual tourist attractions accompanied by knowledgeable and helpful guides, we particularly enjoyed having the opportunity to see other less visited areas of the same cities. We were accompanied by locals who were keen to share their local knowledge and we were given memorable insights into how people spend their lives. These tours included a visit to an ancient part of Delhi, a village within sight of the Taj Mahal ...

As well as visiting the usual tourist attractions accompanied by knowledgeable and helpful guides, we particularly enjoyed having the opportunity to see other less visited areas of the same cities. We were accompanied by locals who were keen to share their local knowledge and we were given memorable insights into how people spend their lives. These tours included a visit to an ancient part of Delhi, a village within sight of the Taj Mahal and a wilderness centre outside Jaipur but the highlight was a cycle rickshaw tour one evening in Delhi where we kept stopping for street food and were able to visit a Sikh gurdwara, Asia's largest spice market and explore parts of the city we would otherwise have missed. In taking these tours we were supporting local tourist initiatives which was also a bonus. The accommodation had been carefully selected with very hospitable and welcoming hosts keen to make us feel at home in their charming properties - a welcome change from hotel chains! We had a truly brilliant time!

James of Experience Travel understood our requirements right from the start and created an unforgettable holiday in India taking into account our interests - a truly tailor made holiday, the highlights being the 'a little off the beaten track' experiences. The amount of information about the country and related issues was very useful as was the Vamoos app. Experience Travel were immensely helpful with queries before we went to India and all admin and paperwork was handled very efficiently. Once there, their agents were very professional and helpful and ensured any problems were dealt with extremely well. We had such a great time, we hope to travel again with Experience!

Hi Morag,

Thank you so much for your feedback, I am so glad you had such an amazing time! I completely agree about the evening tour of Delhi, it is one of my favourite memories of North India.

Hopefully we'll hear from you again for another holiday to Asia!

All the best,

James & The ETG team

Delightful

Experience travel created a most well organised tour. The accommodation in small homestays and heritage hotels was perfect and we enjoyed a wide variety of tours and experiences.
