A fantastic adventure across India.

Starting in New Delhi we visited, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Mumbai and finally Goa. In country support was excellent, from travel agent to guides.

An Adventure in Northern India!

Our holiday exceeded our expectations on all levels. Accommodation was very varied from Home-stays to a 5* hotel. At all times we were well looked after at hotels, by our driver(s) and Guides. It was the experience we had hoped for, some of the highlights being, seeing two tigers on separate days, the Taj Mahal, and a rickshaw street food tour of Old Delhi

James listened to our requirements and came up with a proposed itinerary which we discussed as a group. The contents and presentation stood out from other itineraries sourced from other tour operators. James was very patient with our questions prior to the holiday and reassured us during the holiday with the uncertainty of Jet Airways.

Finding the real India

A time of variety and marked contrasts, enabling us to glimpse the culture, lifestyle and wildlife of this rapidly changing country. The local foods and customs were much enjoyed and being able to meeti with people in their homes provided insight into a different way of living.

They listened to our preferences and requirements and delivered the perfect holiday, including all the variety and interesting elements we had requested. What's more, transport and communications worked like clockwork and we didn't waste a minute of precious time. This was the holiday of a lifetime and we could not fault the service provided by Experience Travel Group.

Amazing & memorable

We visited Rajasthan, Shimla & Amritsar. The itinerary was perfect, hotels were amazing & exceeded our expectations. The sights were fabulous - I had to keep on pinching myself that I was actually at these incredible, world famous places. So much colour & sound - my head is still reeling from it. The people we met wonderful. I have left a piece of my heart & soul in India.

Our driver was brilliant , calm and efficient. All our guides were very knowledgable and knew the best spots for photographs and where to stand away from the crowds.

Experience travel were great from the initial contact till our return home. They took time to listen to our wishes and tailored a programme to suit with time to rest as well as visit major attractions. One of our favourites was watching the sunset on Jaipur.

Incredible India

We visited New and Old Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Fort Barli, Pune and Goa. Everywhere we went was a different experience and so interesting to learn about another country's culture and customs. The food was tasty and you didn't have to eat anything too spicy. We had a driver for the first week and several different guides who helped us to explore the different cities and to make the most of our time there. We had a good mix of sight seeing and down ...

We visited New and Old Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Fort Barli, Pune and Goa. Everywhere we went was a different experience and so interesting to learn about another country's culture and customs. The food was tasty and you didn't have to eat anything too spicy. We had a driver for the first week and several different guides who helped us to explore the different cities and to make the most of our time there. We had a good mix of sight seeing and down time so we didn't end up too frazzled by the end of the holiday. It was a good idea to have a few days relaxation at the end of the trip to really unwind. An amazing holiday.

Rating for tour operator:

Experience Travel were extremely efficient in booking our holiday. All travel arrangements went very smoothly and we were met by an agent at each stage of our journey around India. Nothing was too much trouble. We had specific needs and these were noted and accommodated.
