I was apprehensive about going on a trip with any tour because I was concerned there wouldn’t be enough time to explore without the group. I also believed that I could plan a tour better than a tour ninja. I was completely wrong. Our tour ninja, Surya, was phenomenal. He allowed the right amount of time for guided group experiences and time to explore as people wanted. At various times he advocated for our group by asking people to not take out photos, getting us transportation when Uber wasn’t working, and gaining us access to unique experiences. I have a new found respect and appreciation for guided tours and I am already looking at my next place to travel. What I have realized is the people of India pride themselves on relationships and how they treat others. Surya clearly has strong trusted relationships all along the tour. He knew them by name and would go out of his way to genuinely interact with them. He is an exceptional tour ninja and just an all around exceptional man who I admire.

Surya was an amazing tour leader! I’ve not been on many organised tours but he made sure i would go again! He knew a lot about all the places we went and also told a lot of interesting stories. I can imagine the history of india is quite lenghty and complicated, but he made it understandable! Pesonally, i really liked that he made clear what we were doing each day, when we would need to leave/ how late we got somewhere, etc. He also gave recommendations for things to do in the free time, and gave us a lot of choice for certain things (like how late we wanted to leave). He also really helped with the people that wanted to sell us stuff or take a picture with us. It made me feel safer traveling . I did think we were given quite a bit of free time, so i would have liked a more packed itinerary. I did have the feeling the time spent in the bus was downplayed a bit. It was said one of the first bus rides would be the longest, , hours, but we’ve been doing multiple , hours +- rides. I did not like the overnight train.
