Charles Paul O'Loan

Amazing 10/10. My tour guide made my trip. Hemender was the kindest most knowledgeable and courteous gentleman I could have imagined as a tour guide. Props to him he is FANTASTIC. Helped me find my lost phone on the bus, sorted my taxi early to the airport, was able to answer even the most nuanced questions i could come up with.

All the accommodation is luxury king beds ensuites and all the trimmings especially Rathambhore. The meal with an Indian family/cooking lesson was excellent also and I would recommend this to every person! (I’m not even a foodie) I would have loved to also do a museum in Delhi as an optional extra to help me tie together the incredible history of Epic India (my only suggestion to the company). Our Driver Sujinder (10/10 also) got us safely everywhere which is an incredible feat given Indian driving conditions. The whole trip is a step into an incredible new world flush with epic histories, amazing architecture and eye-opening hardships. The hardship is one thing I think people need to be aware of before going especially if they wish to go on Agra bizarre walk as there is much begging and poverty which can be upsetting to witness as a tourist with no direct avenue to fix the problem. I found the agra marble and Jaipur textiles interesting but be aware they want to sell these products if you go. My 1 last piece of advice if you forget to get money at the airport is that across the road from the hotel in Delhi there was an ATM which was very safe as it couldn’t swallow your card -it only inserts a little bit and it works perfect!

I would check with the company about other guest numbers and maybe demographics next time but I loved the whole trip.

Goodbye beautiful India! Namaste 🙏
