    The tour was well organized. Each day was filled with enough activities that were engaging, educational and fun with enough time flexibility. The driver was extremely professional and drove smoothly and safely. He took pride in his work and immaculately cleaned his vehicle before each days trip. The cities on the route were wonderful to visit with lots of historical artifacts and cultural experiences. The hotel stays were comfortable and relaxing which is important since we travelled to a new city every day.

    The tour was well planned with tour guides at each location who were informative. The driver was ever so helpful, kept a clean vehicle, punctual and took us to food places for lunch that were fantastic. We could not have found some of these places on our own.

    Second time in India, this time my friends and I did the south. India always surprises with its colors and smells but our journey has certainly been improved by our guide Manish, by the driver Mr. Kantha. Wonderful places and hotels, every night a different one, more and more beautiful; from Chennai to the Houseboat in Aleppey. We were on the streets of Madurai in rickshaw and with tuk tuks, we visited the fruit and vegetable markets, fish and the fantastic flower market. Not to mention the temples, so different from the north, colorful and evocative, from Kanchipuram, Mahabalipuram at Thanjavur. Every day there was a new and unique emotion. What to say that on the way we found ourselves attending a bull party. Only! Manish led us to discover Tamil Nadu and Kerala by bathing the elephants or taking us on the tea plantations. It was a unique and unforgettable experience. Thanks MTA Advisor, thank you Manish for making us love India once again.
