    This trip was a great way to see the diverse culture and history of India. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made every stop interesting. They really helped us understand the significance of each site. The hotels were great nothing overly fancy, but always clean and comfortable. The driver did a wonderful job of keeping us safe on the roads and making sure we stayed on schedule. The whole trip was well-organized, and I felt well taken care of the entire time. Thanks for this wonderful trip HOLIDAYS AT
