“India on licensed guides and heritage stays”
Licensed guides in every city and heritage properties where they exist. Named after the ledgers Rajasthani havelis kept, which is where several of the stays came from.
Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Recommended.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves.
Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Good value for what's included.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Would book with them again.
Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Telangana done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed.
Telangana done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Good value for what's included.
It is the largest film studio complex in the world and it is also a theme park. If you are not interested in Telugu cinema, the Deccan granite outcrops — some of the oldest exposed rock on earth — are the better alternative and both operators offer the swap.
