Perfect for Indian families - authentic food!

Arrey wah! What a trip this was! We went with our 8 and 12 year old son and daughter plus my in-laws who are 70+. Best decision ever! Every evening the dinner was proper Indian food - dal makhani, paneer, even got kadhai chicken! My mother-in-law was so happy, she kept saying "ghar jaisa khana!" The tour manager spoke perfect Hindi with my parents, explained everything nicely. Hotels were top class, right in the middle of city so we could walk around evening time also. My kids made so many desi friends, now they keep video calling each other! If you are Indian family, just book it yaar, don't think twice.

No worries about food - pure vegetarian available

As strict vegetarians, we were worried about food during travel. This tour was perfect! Every dinner had full vegetarian spread with dal, roti, sabzi, and rice. The group was mostly Indian families so we made great friends. Kids enjoyed meeting other desi kids their age.

Amazing cultural experience!

As a non-Indian traveler, this tour exceeded all expectations! The Indian cuisine was incredible and I loved learning about the culture from fellow travelers. Tour manager was welcoming and accommodating to everyone. Excellent value for money compared to other group tours we researched.
