    Although the palaces etc were fabulous, actually walking along the streets and along the River Ganges amongst real people was fantastic and great photographic opportunities too.

    All time spent sightseeing and meeting the locals. Indu the guide was amazing. He made sure everyone was happy and comfortable the whole time. He stopped at nothing to look after us all and made us feel welcome and safe. He was very knowledgeable and made sure no person felt left out. It was more like travelling with a good friend than guide
