I did not want to join an ordinary tour with a packed schedule. I wanted time to understand and appreciate each monument, and also time to relax and enjoy the hotels. The agent reffered by Zicasso discussed all my requirements with me, gave me invaluable inputs,and customized my tour. The agent also associates with a local agent in India, which is very important as between them, they were able to respond immediately to individual circumstances that arose during the tour, understand and anticipate my needs. They have gone out of their way to provide assistance. I cannot recommend them enough.
The most enjoyable part of my trip is all the people that I have met, form all the guides, the driver, and the agent, to all the staff at the hotels. They cannot be nicer and more helpful. The agent helped me when I could not check in to my flight back from Jaipur and called her in the evening on a Friday evening. Sitting at home dreaming about this trip, I could not have imagined how much work and how many people did it take to put it together. The level of service they offered cannot be matched. Even at the hotels, by the second day, many of the staff already knew me by name, or at least knew my room number.
India was amazing. The sheer mass of humanity, and the beauty and weight of their architecture, history, believes, cuisine, and customs, are something impossible for me to imagine until I actually saw and experienced them. The beauty of the Taj Mahal was incomparable, of course, but so was that of being able to witness the daily lives as they were lived in the Chandni Chowk.
