India Travel Tours & Trips

Fabulous trip with Peregrine - our tour guide went out of his way to ensure we had a great trip even organizing a side trip to a cathedral I was keen to see but that wasn't on the itinerary. Nothing was too much trouble. We stayed at some amazing places and saw some incredible sights. So pleased we chose Peregrine as our tour operator - they were great!

Full on trip around a beautiful country, with very friendly people. So many highlights, elephant rides, bike rides, climbing ginormous mountains, zillions of steps, an lovely temples. Some hotels didn't live up to Peregrine standards where others surpassed it. Kingsley wonderful and caring guide as were his driver (Uncle) and off-sider.

On my trip the professionalism and enthusiasm of the guides Dennis and Harish was outstanding and really made the trip. Very cultural and grass roots experience of India. Train trips do not add anything to the experience as they are tiring and tedious - I would prefer to pay a bit more for short flights. However on the whole a great experience!)

What a great trip. Everything about it was fantastic - accommodation, sights, food (although at times was very over curry)

I learned throughout my trip about who the Indian people are and what made them the way they are. I found them to be gentle and friendly, open minded and inquisitive. I really enjoyed interacting with them.

This was a challenging tour for me - but that is the nature of the country and the stage of its development, not the quality of the tour.

Each day reveals one marvel after another. It is a rather hectic itineray but that is because ther is just so much to see.

Accomadation and place of stay was so good. The desert tour could have been DESERT and not just a sand patch near a farm !!
Tour guide was as good as you can get and his mix with the clients was as good if not better than i have seen on tours in many countries. His raport and skill in enabling us to meet with the owners of most of the stays,i thought was a bonus,and generally he was fun to be with on our actual tour time
The mix of cities selected on our tour was new around every corner
Really enjoyed

The trip itinerary was excellent, it varied from small villages to major cities and the guides all knew their subjects well. The tour group numbers are small and this adds to the experience.

The North India Discoverer tour is simply amazing. From the places you visit, to the accommodation you stay in and the overall pace of the tour. As well as the Taj, Varanassi, etc., with Peregrine, you also get to visit and experience some more out of the way villages that allow you to see the "real" India. We even got invited to a real local wedding! The ads say India Incredible India, well as a country to visit it is way beyond incredible and should be on everyone's travel list.

i cannot stop raving about this tour and the entire rajasthan experience, every day was new and exciting and just when you thought you had seen it all , it happened again . the accommodation was beyond belief , palaces , forts , mud huts and luxury tents , the food is amazing and the people of india , so beautiful and welcoming . so many special memories , i need to come back soon... india is in my heart !!!

We had a great time on the trip. The highlights were Varanassi (especially the aarti in the evening and wandering around the old town), and Allahabad which was an addition to our trip. Allahabad was great because we had the opportunity to visit Kumbh Mela.

One suggestion is to provide real opportunities to donate and contribute to the charities that are operating in the locations we visited. One example is the school in Karauli, where we would have liked to contributed to the children's education.

Thoroughly enjoyable and a photographer's paradise. The magic of India was encapsulated for us in our 19 days in Rajasthan where we were lucky enough to experience the colour, people, food and local artisans in both village and city life. Highly recommended

The tour exceeds my expectations, certainly value for money. It changes my impression of India and it's a privilege to have a local leader who can give me information in great depth. Even the culture shock becomes enjoyable.

I would suggest that for tipping, porters, driver etc these costs be included in the tour cost and passed by the Peregrine to the Tour leader.

We had a very enjoyable trip which was made very easy by a great tour guide and driver.

Every day I thought "This was the best day!" and then the next day was even better!
It exceeded my expectations.
The places we went and the things we experienced were magical.

Overall the trip was thoroughly enjoyable, and truly exceeded my expectations.

beautiful accommodation, great mix of sightseeing and cultural activities

The trip of a lifetime. So many different experiences - felt that we saw the real India - from overnight train trips to sleeping in the desert watching a total eclipse of the moon. Stayed in amazing heritage hotels, every one different. Can't fault the organisation and itinerary - can't wait to go back!

What an amazing eye-opening experience. Rajasthan is truely a unique experience. The buzz gets under your skin as all your senses are challenged everywhere you look. The places, the monuments, the traffic, the markets, the people, the forts, the palaces, the rivers. A photographers mecca!

The tour provided a fascinating insight into Indian culture and history. I particularly liked the speed of the trip that allowed time for exploring at our leisure.

Enjoyable,informative and enthusiastic commentary and discussion from our guide who was easy to relate to and very attentive to all our needs.
Felt free time at Udaipur a bit wasted and an anticlimax after the excitement and interest of the previous days; also as most fly into Delhi why are some of its many sights not included? People on their own may not feel happy to take the hotel car by themselves though we found the Hotel Florence very helpful in this.

We startet out with 10 people in the group, Vaanasi than Agra was a big experience, people everywhere, but Aphay kept us together, after 2 weeks 5 people left and we travelled on with 5. It was very relaxing, very full of sightseeing, and perfect restaurants, either in a court yard or on the roof garden. It was just the right mixture between go go go and relaxing. Thanks Aphay.

Wonderful travel experience. Sometimes difficult to understand the inequitiy of the system. Enjoyable company. group generally united and good company.

India-- Stimulating smells, visions, sounds and celebrations. Transport varied from a small van, camel cart, camel ride and jeeps. New experiences at every turn. A great learning opportunity for those willing to be open. Local guides give genuine insight into other peoples' lifestyles and opinions.

Cannot recommend highly enough brilliant well thought out and executed with finite detail

THE TRIP WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.I HAVE A FAR BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE.
