This tour provided an excellent introduction to India, showcasing stunning architecture and vibrant culture. Our driver was exceptional, always punctual and made us feel very safe throughout the long drives between cities. My only minor suggestion would be to perhaps add a bit more free time in some locations, but overall, it was a fantastic and well-organized adventure.
The sights on this tour were breathtaking, especially the Taj Mahal and the forts of Jaipur. However, we did experience a few communication issues with some of the local guides, and the hotel choices varied quite a bit in quality. It's a good way to see a lot in a short time, but be prepared for a very packed schedule and ensure you clarify details with your guides.
