We returned on 6 March from a fantastic 11 day tour of north India with Emperor Holidays, taking in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Every aspect of our holiday exceeded our (high) expectations.
Fundamental to our enjoyment of our holiday were the Emperor Holidays people. Tauseef, our tour guide, and Hari, our driver, both of whom accompanied us for the duration, were highly professional and competent as well as being good company and very kind, making sure that we were safe and comfortable at all times. Tauseef, whose history degree betrayed his love and knowledge of India’s historical treasures, gave engaging context to all the sites and palaces and forts and mausoleums etc that we visited. Hari deals with the chaos (relative to the UK) of India’s roads with calm and authority and kept us supplied with water, fruit and Coke. Azhar, Emperor Holidays’ owner, met us at Delhi airport and again at Agra to make sure everything was running smoothly. He was very helpful and flexible in accommodating the changes we wanted make to the standard schedule, i.e. some different hotels and a Toyota Innova Chrysta (people carrier) instead of a Toyota Etios (mid-size saloon).
Many thanks once again to Tauseef, Hari and Azhar.
