The hotels that you will stay in are specially chosen by Rail Discoveries based on their high standard of facilities and their ideal location within the vicinity of the major sights, shops and restaurants. India rail journeys are diverse, ranging from air conditioned express trains with complimentary snacks to the famous narrow-gauge Toy Train which winds its way on a picturesque journey amongst hills and valleys and through tunnels and over bridges. Whichever way you travel through India, it is guaranteed to be an eye-opening experience.
Excursions are often accompanied by a knowledgeable local guide and there is usually plenty of free time built into the tour so that you can explore places independently. You may wish to shop at the markets, visit museums and galleries or take a daring ride on a rickshaw, a common means of public transport in India.

The whole experience was more than I expected. Hotels and tours were very good - guide was excellent too. The only disappointment was the guide we had in Mumbai and that part of the trip let the whole down slightly as it was all very rushed.
