"My mother and I have wanted to visit India for ages, but doing it solo seemed a bit daunting. This worked out perfectly. The road trip through Rajasthan was wonderful, Udaipur was absolutely surreal, almost fairytale-like, and seeing the Taj Mahal at the end was so very special. Having Catherine and Kavita was such a helpful mix. The guides were lovely too, showing us spots we’d never have found ourselves. We had our own vehicle which was spacious and comfortable, they sorted everything, even my food quirks so I could just relax about it. We felt totally safe, saw the real side of things, and honestly just had a great time."  Lee Fields, Queensland, Australia (Rajasthani Desert Realm Odyssey India Tour)
