Classic India & Tigers

7 days

New Tour

Uncover the soul of North India on a journey that blends iconic sights with offbeat moments. We dive into the chaos and charm of Delhi, tracing the footsteps of emperors and revolutionaries. In Agra, the ethereal beauty of the Taj Mahal stuns at sunrise, while Jaipur’s faded grandeur and colourful bazaars pull us into royal Rajasthan. Then it’s into the wild, where Ranthambore’s forests echo with birdsong and the possibility of a tiger sighting keeps us on edge.

Tipping is not a natural part of many Western cultures and many of us feel uncomfortable, or unsure, about when, or how much, to tip. However, in the places you will visit, tipping makes up a significant part of many people's wages so it's important that we get it right. For this reason we've developed a very simple system to take all the hassle out of tipping. With our 'tipping made easy' policy, a nominal pre-determined amount is collected from all group tour participants to cover tips en route. This then saves you the hassle of when and how much to tip bellhops, luggage handlers, local guides and other support staff through the tour. Our 'tipping made easy' doesn't include a tip to your group tour leader. Naturally, though, the amount is up to you as tipping is an entirely personal gesture.
