Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Would send friends their way.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Would send friends their way.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.
