Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
Superb local guide. Small tour group (15). Varied locations. Nice hotels. Seemless travel arrangements.
Wonders of Japan
An amazing trip with loads of interesting trips to see various stunning historic buildings and experience some of the National culture. The itinerary was full on from the start, which after a long flight was quite tiring. I wonder if it might have been better done in reverse as the last stop on the itinerary gave us some free time. The highlights were the Taj, Jaipur and the hotel in Ranthambore, although we weren’t lucky enough to see tigers! Unfortunately lots of groups on other days did, which made it worse!! Our guide, Kam was fabulous, and looked after us superbly. As was our driver, heaven knows how he managed to drive a big buss in the mayhem that the Indian roads are especially in the cities, and the bus assistant was very attentive. Only thing I didn’t feel was great was the stop at a jewellery shop, which was very pressurised and not pleasant. Otherwise an excellent organised trip with lovely hotels.
Golden Triangle and Ranthambore
Multi location holiday with great and varied accommodation. Fortunate to witness a cloud-free Mount Fuji and Snow Monkeys! Superb Japanese tour guide. Tour management side requires improvement.
