Overall I had a great and fun experience. We saw so many amazing places and this tour was a way to travel close to the locals and get an authentic expirience. The only thing I would change is, having less people in the group. The group size of 18 people was too big, we lost so much time at joint dinners or at the activities to wait for everyone, would have been more efficient and mor enjoiable with fewer people on the tour.

Thanks to Lakshay, my fellow travellers and the setup of the tour, India has seeped under my skin. It was magical, colourful, chaotic, overwhelming, beautiful, confronting, and fun. I cannot wait to return and am grateful for my phenomenal experience.

My India trip was the trip of a lifetime and I would do it all again if I could. I feel so incredibly lucky to have spent the last 20 days with some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. I know I have friends for life now and cannot wait for a reunion. A huge part of our trip being so amazing was our CEO, Lakshay. From the moment we met him, Lakshay ensured we had the best time, whilst ensuring our safety. He was always on hand to help us, be it navigating a busy city or answering our questions. He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable!

I had a great time, particularly given the pace of the trip I am confident I wouldn’t have been able to organise such an itinerary myself so it was great to be able to do it with a group!
