  This was a really great tour. It stood out to me because it was a better deal for traveling alone with a lower single person supplement fee than other tours, while still offering 10 days in total, and adding on the unique ability to go to Rishikesh and Haridwar, along with the popular golden triangle cities of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Rishikesh in my opinion is a bit of a hidden gem. It is a very beautiful city up near the mountains of India, and the culture is unique to that of other cities I visited in India. The evening Aarti singing at sunsets are a must see, and Yoga that I was able to participate in twice on the tour is prevalent in the city to add to the relaxed culture. All this and I still was able to see the Taj Mahal in Agra, and ride an elephant up to the beautiful Amber Fort in Jaipur. The elephant ride wasn't initially part of my itinerary but the tour was flexible with allowing me to do it since we were visiting the Amber Fort anyway. If you have already seen something before, they will be flexible with allowing you to see something else if traveling alone. Hotels are taken care of each night, the same driver stayed with me throughout the tour, and a different english speaking guide met with me in each city to add their knowledge of the area. One thing I would advise caution about is that throughout my trip I was pressured to buy various items, which is fine, because many items are really neat that I cannot buy in my home country. However these types of encounters are maybe too often and if you are not careful you will start to buy everything. In India however you can haggle everything, so a good way to approach buying is to offer only 20% of the price they initially ask for and go from there. Maybe the only other thing I would say that could have been better on this tour was if more meals were included. I ended up needing to buy food from my hotel quite often other than breakfast, so that will add to your total costs in the end. Also I did think the middle day upon returning to Delhi could have included an extra stop or two in the city to see before going to the hotel. Overall though this was a great tour and great experience. Highly recommend to see a whole lot of great areas throughout northern India in a short amount of time, while learning about each place from guides, and having a dedicated driver with you the entire way.

  An amazing experience. From the culture and history to the vibrant busy streets to calm and spiritual. This trip gave us a taste of the North of India. It was very well planned and organised. We felt safe and very well looked after. Everyone was considerate, helpful and friendly. We would love to go back to different areas of India, we will also look at tour radar and wanderful holidays for other travel experiences. Thank you so much.

  It was truly an experience of all the senses. I was able to see so many different thing and experience different activities. Our driver Sonu was very kind, courteous and professional, he always had ice cold water for us to dink each day. I liked the fact that the tour guides were from the cities we toured and very knowledgeable of all aspects of their city, and could answer all our questions. The accommodation were great and i loved the idea of spending last 3 days of the trip in a peaceful Yoga capital of the world Rishikesh near the Ganges.
