Area Daily: Tour of India with Greaves Tours

If you’re dying to see India, but not sure where to go, here’s a private tour (for groups of 2-8 travelers) that covers the heart and soul of India. So gather a group of friends or family or join a pre-existing group of like-minded travelers and get ready to hit the sub-continent. You won’t be disappointed!

Here are just a few of the things you’ll experience on your 14-day trip: a spectacle of Mughal monuments in Delhi; the sacred city of Varanasi with boat rides on the River Ganges to witness the aarti ceremony and bathing and worshipping at the ghats (river steps); the flourishing city of Mumbai with its contemporary and Victorian architecture; the temples and palaces of the Maharajas in Udaipur; the historic hilltop village of Amber, reached by journey on elephant-back, just one of the princely splendors of Jaipur; and a final farewell at the Imperial city of Agra with its awe-inspiring Taj Mahal.

With local guides in every city and a tour manager accustomed to the needs of international travelers, we say this is a splendid way to have an unforgettable journey through one of the world's oldest civilizations.
