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.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

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.
