BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Distances are short, the standing is long
Two or three hours mostly on your feet on hard ground. Comfortable shoes matter more than fitness.
The route is public space
Markets, lanes and places of worship are where people live and pray. Ask before photographing anyone and cover up where others do.
Cash for the small things
Tea, a fritter, an entry ticket. Card acceptance in old quarters is patchy at best.
Ask what the group size will be
A walking tour of six and one of thirty are different products at the same price. It is a fair question.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Crew were professional without being stiff about it. Would book with them again.

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

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

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would book with them again.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Recommended.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Worth every rupee.

Randstad done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Recommended.

Questions people ask

Only if you book it yourself the moment tickets release, six weeks ahead to the day. They sell out within hours and there is no other route in. It is left out of the price because no operator can reliably secure it.
