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. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would send friends their way.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Chhattisgarh done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. 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. Solid operator.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
