Submit Your Own Review!Excellent Introduction to varied parts of India - both big cities and small villages --- and the Indian culture and Hindu religion
(8, October 2023)
Pros: Excellent Introduction to varied parts of India - both big cities and small villages --- and the Indian culture and Hindu religion
Cons: Tour is jampacked full with multiple in-country flights; many parts are physically demanding, particulalrly post trip to Varanasi
Review: Uniworld guides were excellent: all were knowledgeable and informative as to history and culture, also helpful in airport and other transit. Again, movement on foot and onto boats in Varanasi was challenging, and at times potentially dangerous, although the cultural experience was important and dramatic. On the ship staff were consistently welcoming and helpful aboard and ashore. We praise the high quality of the dance and entertainment events on board during the cruise. Loved the dress up and henna painting options The ship's gift shop could have offered more variety as travelers were interested. The days schedule needs to be pt up on the in-room Tv and handed out in print form as well.
