“What an amazing trip! It was really great to be able to relax and let smarTours and the tour guide take care of everything. I'm used to planning my travels on my own but in a place as big and chaotic as India, it's best to leave it to the professionals! The hotels were excellent and the food delicious. The bus was comfortable and had great A/C. Our tour guide seemed knowledgeable and was friendly and fun. All in all, an unforgettable experience. I liked it so much I will definitely travel with smaTours again and would love to even do this tour all over again! India is wonderful and so is smarTours!”

“The tour was fantastic. The tour director was very nice and he try to please every one in the group as much as he could. The only thing that I believe will be better is to add one more day in Delhi.”

“First--much thanks to Linda w/smarTours who helped me rebook and catch up with the group when I had major travel delays and issues. Loved Arvind and our driver who got us around safely and took us to fabulous sites with much information, perfect timing for low crowds and lighting for pics, and great suggestions. A special thanks to Arvind for personally helping me with needs as my bag did not make it with me. He was so helpful, understanding and gracious! Wonderful accommodation, tour bus and itinerary for my 1st trip to India. Thanks again for a truly memorable vacation.”

“My sister and I were nervous about visiting India on our own given safety concerns so we decided to go with an organized group tour - our first. What made this trip truly incredible was our tour guide, Arvind Chadha. He showed great passion for sharing Indian history and great patience for answering my MANY questions. In addition, he had great tack in dealing with difficult travelers. This tour will allow you to see the big tourist attractions in northern India. Arvind had us up early for each of the tours to avoid the major crowds - something that was much appreciated. There wasn't much time for independent exploration but in all honesty, I wouldn't have taken much advantage of that given the relentless hawking by local vendors. There was a lot of bus time but that's unavoidable given that we visited three different cities in a short time period.”

“WOW! What a trip! I was a bit hesitant when booking this tour. I'm not a fan of leaving 'my daily routine' and do not enjoy hot/humid weather. I am so glad I took this trip though! Our tour guide Arvind Chadha was AMAZING! Extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, and very easy to have a conversation with. He went above and beyond to make sure our group had a great experience. I still am in amazement how much I learned from Arvind about India. He helped us to know what was safe to eat, drink, buy, or visit. I find it hard to believe there could be a better tour guide. A+++++ job Arvind! Thank you! Our group was amazing. People were considerate and friendly. There was one male who was a bit challenging, wanting to follow his own schedule. Arvind was very mature about the situation and dealt with it perfectly. Arvind helped the man to do his own thing without compromising what was planned for the group. We stayed in 3 hotels. The first two were very nice, no complaints. The third was average. The bus we traveled on was nice. Air conditioning worked well, plenty of space for sitting and bringing a bag. Although the weather was very warm and humid, we never spent more than 1-3 hours outside the bus at a time. I HIGHLY recommend the Incredible India tour!”
