Amazing 10/10 company. - Where to start! Fantastic holiday! Just amazing! Everything Gopal organised for us from tours to guides to hotels was just 10/10. Our driver Himmett was just amazing and when we go back to India we will ask for Himmett. If you’re worried about booking India don’t be. Gopal and his staff will make sure everything is absolutely perfect. We did Holi Festival which we just loved doing as well as Taj Mahal, forts, safaris etc. ten days of non stop memories and fun. A complete must is Chandni Chowk market on a rickshaw. Our rickshaw driver took us into the very depth of the market and we came away with teas and spices but also memories and photos we wouldn’t have got just walking round on our own. India is such a vibrant, friendly, beautiful country and can’t wait to return.
