- Emma· March 25th, 2025It was the best two weeks ever thanks to Atul and his wonderful team. We spent one week north of India, visited all the wonderful spots and we even celebrated Holi. It’s very complicated to select one highlight as we really saw so many wonderful things. After a week in the north we went to Kochi and visited the south of India which is more relaxing, green and seems like a different country. Atul was the best coordinator, he anticipated all our needs and was listening and adapting the program to our wish. Thank you so much Atul and Vijay for everything. You made our trip wonderful.Show more

- Gary· December 13th, 2024We enjoyed our time in Jordan and our many unique experiences! The most important thing to note was how safe we felt traveling around the country. The main highlight for us was seeing Petra. The crowd sizes were small due to the political climate in the area, but that worked out to our advantage. Another highlight was getting the opportunity to float in the Dead Sea. Other stops included Aqaba, Dona, Jaresh and Wadi Rum. While Wadi Rum was nice, you should know most of the interesting activities take place in the spring. If you have ever thought of traveling to Jordan, we highly recommend doing so!Show more
