India is not just a destination, it's a feeling that remains with you, well beyond the trip's end.

This is a country of astonishing depth and drama, where everyday life unfolds on an epic scale. Our private-guided tours are created to turn a dream trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With expert local private guides by your side, you'll go beyond the famous sights to understand the history, traditions, architecture and food that make India so endlessly fascinating. We take care of the details, navigate experiences you wouldn't find on your own, and help you get the most out of your tour of India, so you can explore with confidence, boldness and inquisitiveness.

India's Golden Triangle

India's Golden Triangle is one of the country's most popular travel routes, linking three landmark cities: New Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. This triangular trip provides a rich experience of India's colourful culture and stunning architecture. Located approximately 125 miles apart, our tour will take you to world-famous landmarks, including the Taj Mahal in Agra and Jaipur's majestic Hawa Mahal, making the Golden Triangle the most visited region in India.

Southern India

Our private guided tour across Kerala, often called 'God's Own Country,' blends spiritual heritage with lush natural beauty and unhurried periods of tranquillity. From the historic port city of Kochi, with its colonial heritage and dynamic heritage, the route winds through ancient temples in Madurai, wildlife-rich forests near Periyar National Park, and rolling tea plantations in the Western Ghats, before slowing to a graceful pace aboard a traditional houseboat in the backwaters of Alleppey. Along the way, guests experience serene waterways, fragrant spice gardens, abundant wildlife, and warm local hospitality, creating a trip that is both restorative and culturally immersive.
