Served over 23000+ happy travelers

India has always been in my heart for many years, this is the third time I've been back, even if the last one dates back many years ago. This year I entrusted myself to the agency and I wasn't wrong, they packaged the tour well, with some modifications of my own to shorten the hours in the car. Excellent driver (shish pal), guides all in Italian and very competent, hotels - especially those outside Delhi (historical residences), dinner with a family from Rajasthan (really interesting), traditional dance in Udaipur and visit to the monuments.
