Reviews from travellers on this tour

Lia Rushanyan  

India Trip - Central India & Rajasthan

24-Feb-2020

We didn’t quite know what to expect and were a little nervous about our trip to Central India & Rajasthan. We shouldn’t have been as the team at Agora Voyages made the whole trip a breeze. There were staff to meet us at every check in/out, not that they were needed and everything worked. Given the amount of driving in our private tour, the driver was going to be key and we struck the jackpot with Ravi. He drove us the whole trip, looked out for us, was lovely to converse with and we always felt in good hands when he was around. The guides were good too balancing information with time to explore by yourself. The itinerary was well constructed - the sites were all worth visiting and not rushed. We were surprised that the crowds weren’t bad (Feb) and only a few beggars and hawkers. The hotels were luxurious (4 star package) and the food amazing. For a low stress way to travel to India, we would highly recommend Agora Voyages. ...more ...less
