    · March 7th, 2019
    India is a destination I would have not gone to on my own. I felt extremely comfortable with my group of like minded travellers exploring the wonders of India. The Travelling Concierge was full of knowledge and his guidance invaluable. The transport, hotels and experiences make for some unforgettable memories.I have fallen in love with India and can't wait to go back and see more.
