“The heart of India with the extension to Varnasi was an incredible trip. It was truly an adventure of a lifetime! The many architectural wonders and the passionate religious experiences we were able to share were unbelievable. I highly recommend the extension to varnasi as it was such a highlight to be at the Ganges and experience all the religious devotions. Once again smarTours has organized a wonderful tour with high value in a very complex country.”

“Excellent guides for the tour and the extension in Varanasi. Knowledgeable and informative. Great communication, fun and friendly. We had a disabled participant that Shaju took very good care of. They helped us up steep stairs In Varanasi and were protective of us with aggressive vendors .”

“We had a wonderful tour, our guide Shaju was the best guide for India, he really worked hard to show us so many wonderful places and he taught us so much about India. We saw so many wonderful places and adventures, and we stayed at both hotels and palaces. We ate a lot of good Indian food and naan bread, yum. We went to many forts, temples, and palaces, and we saw the Taj Mahal. One of my favorites was the extension to Varanasi and going by boat on the Ganges. After going there, I feel this is a must see! Our guide in Varanasi Ajit, was phenomenal along with Shaju. We learned so much about India, it was fascinating, it truly is Incredible India, and I will miss so many aspects of it.”

“Kudos to Smartours and especially our personal guide, Vikram Singh for our Heart of India trip. Smartours has a well planned itinerary that smoothly packed much into each day. All went without a hitch due to our wonderful guide, Vikram, and his crew. The itinerary was always well explained and thought out, and Vikram's informative talks were interesting and educational. This adventure involved many forms of transportation including bus, rickshaw, tuk-tuks, and jeeps. All went smoothly and safely. Our jam-packed days were full of exploring street markets, forts, palaces, temples, artisan businesses, a rural village, and even a village school. This trip is truly an adventure (as opposed to a casual vacation) with exotic architecture, bustling markets, beautiful fabrics and clothing, Eastern religions, and a different outlook on how happy lives are lived. Be prepared to learn about and experience a culture quite different from our own that is filled with gracious, beautiful people. India is an amazing adventure and not to be missed. Our hotel accommodations were varied and reflected local culture and meals were excellent. The only issue one couple had with one hotel room was quickly resolved. We enjoyed every experience including a rickshaw ride through Old Delhi, walks and crazy tuk-tuk rides through the Pink city of Jaipur, and walking tours of the Blue city of Johdpur with their crazy traffic mix of hand carts, tuk-tuks, cows, camels, cars, and even an elephant ambling in city traffic! Even the visits to marble inlayers, carpet weavers, and gem shop were informative and entertaining. You can look forward to meeting wonderful, friendly people, wild Tuk Tuk rides thru narrow alleys, busy bazaars, and dazzling colors everywhere. Can't beat Smartours for value! R and J”
