Excellent trip, nice mix of city and countryside.
The holiday was fast paced but thoroughly exciting. The Hotels used were very good and service excellent. The tour director was brilliant and very knowledgeable.
On the whole the tour was very interesting and well organised. However we thought that there were slightly too many religious monuments to look at that were pretty much the same and required a great deal of travel between them. It would have been nice to knock a couple of these off and visit a developed part of India to have a contrast. A spare hour or two here and there would also have been good to wind down, but there were quite a lot of late arrivals back in the evening and early starts.
Great hotels, fantastic tour guide,
