We were picked up and taken to the train station, escorted right to our seats! the tra ...

Excellent trip. My guide Raj was well versed and easy to understand and communicate. He knew all the perfect photo spots and how to avoid the crowds. It is a long day but well worth it. The train was comfortable as well. - Jeff, Tampa Florida, USA

The tour is really great. The only flaw is that the guide takes you to several shopping places, but that's normal in this industry.
