    Agora Voyages helped design and create a solo tour across central India. They made planning super easy and were quick to respond and offered a fair price the was inclusive of almost everything. I felt safe and well taken care of across the whole trip. I would definitely recommend them for any tour planning in India.

    Excellent tour. We travelled to so many different places in South India and visited various temples, palaces, gardens and nature reserves. Our daily guides were very informative and showed us the places of interest. Our wonderful driver Mr Shaker calmly and safely navigated us through the chaotic streets and roads. We felt so safe with him. We were well looked after from beginning to end. A big thank you for such a wonderful and well organised trip.

    Informative and comprehensive city tour of Delhi on the day prior to heading to Amritsar by punctual, comfortable express air-conditioned train on which an adequate breakfast including an omelette and lunch (chicken curry) were served. Met by driver at Amritsar Railway Station and later that afternoon experienced the pomp, ceremony and fervour of the Beating Retreat ceremony at Wagah border (between India and Pakistan). An exceptional tour of the Golden Temple followed the next day which not only included the visual spectacle of the temple but also an detailed tour of the community kitchen which serves between 50000 - 100,000 free meals to those in need on a daily basis. The hill station of Dharamshala was a pleasant change to the routine hustle and bustle of India in general. The current home of the Dalai Lama and home to ~100000 exiled Tibetans. The visit to the Tsuglagkhank Complex, Tibetan Museum and the Sikh Museum were extremely informative and educational. A visit to Kanga fort, built by the Moghul dynasties in 9th-10th centuries A.D. is steeped in history and provided a fascinating insight to life at the time. Shimla was also relaxed. Revered by the British as the summer capital, to stroll along The Mall and visit such places as the Gaiety Theatre is a step back in time. The imposing
