    Excellent!

    A big thank you to Kush and his team! I booked a solo, multiple-stop tour in Rajasthan and it was managed extremely well throughout. I had a total of 4 guides, each an expert in their field/location, friendly and helpful and they were flexible based on my interests. The hotels booked through Le Tour D’India (Jaipur and audacious) were in excellent locations, comfortable, with lots of charm, clean and with great service. I had a truly memorable trip. Very highly recommended. – EAP99, London, United Kingdom

When I saw a two week bicycling in Rajasthan tour with only one spot left, I decided it might be more interesting than the usual travel tour. It definitely was! First of all our guide, Kush was amazing (I am not sure how much he slept for those two weeks!)…more

    Experiencing the REAL Rajasthan

After arriving in Delhi, I was a little apprehensive about beginning the tour the following day given the hectic traffic I had seen on the way from the airport to the hotel. However, cycling in India is very manageable when you are with such a well organized tour as those run by Le Tour De India and G-Adventures…more
