A very personalised service. There were no hiccoughs, and all went smoothly. Representatives on the ground were on the ball, and we felt very well taken care of. The package was exactly what we were looking for with hotels in Jaisalmer and Jodhpur exceeding our expectations. We had a great holiday and a very memorable experience.

I would highly recommend Indian Vistas: everything ran so smoothly and seamlessly thanks to excellent planning and good communication at the different stages. We were very touched and grateful for the little thoughtful touches along the way: the welcome pack including beautiful book of Rajasthan; the special treats for Jesse’s birthday; the crisps; sweeties and water on the bus trips. Thanks for an absolutely superb holiday. We will be back for more
