Tailor-made travel is a great option for those who want a personalised itinerary with the undivided attention, expertise and flexibility of your own English-speaking guide and driver. You can pre-select dates, duration, cities, sights, unique experiences, meals and accommodation. If you enjoy travelling in comfort at your own pace, a tailor-made tour is for you.
I had a comfortable, spacious vehicle and my driver stayed with me the whole trip, we also had a local guide in each city. My driver worked out very quickly that I love markets and food, he would liaise with my next guide to find the best places for me to stop along the itinerary - they also taught me how to barter. They took me to great local restaurants and helped me pick delicious foods I never would’ve thought to try.
The service is impeccable, seamless, and very flexible depending on when I wanted to start, finish and what to see on the day.
The India e-visa is a simple and quick process. It’s all done online and takes about two days to get the approval.
I try to travel with no expectations so I can really appreciate each experience, but the whole trip blew me away – India is one of the most culturally shocking but rewarding countries to travel. I did however have high expectations for the Taj Mahal (being one of the Wonders of the World) and it’s truly better than you could ever imagine - everyone should see it at least once in their lifetime.
I am a bit of a sweet tooth, so having freshly made Gulab Jamun from a street vendor was pretty amazing.
They are little milk and flour balls soaked in a rose flavoured syrup. Very sweet but delicious and it’s extremely hard to stop at just one.
I would love to see more of Rajasthan such as Jodhpur, Udaipur, Pushkar and spend a night in a tented camp. I would like to visit Kerala in Southern India and spend a couple of nights on an overnight houseboat, visit the tea plantations and experience the different Indian flavours which vary throughout the country.
