"In January 2019 I toured India with Craig. The three-week itinerary was great, packed with historic areas, culture, and special experiences like dressing in Saris with live music. Craig smoothed the way with his incredible local knowledge and relationships , ensuring there was never an issue..."

"This is a wonderful small tour group that features stays in amazing, authentic heritage accommodations, especially throughout Rajasthan. The local guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and consistently kept an eye out for everyone in our group ."

"This was the trip of a lifetime. Our passionate guides looked after us like family while introducing us to India's bustling, historic, and carefully organised chaos. The beautiful accommodation ranged from authentic homestays to grand palaces. We didn't just stick to the well-beaten tourist tracks; we visited old forts, temples, got a true taste of village life, and saw the breathtaking Taj Mahal with the very best local guide. The food was unbelievably good and plentiful. Highly recommended ."

"It is so easy to travel with Craig and his lovely group of local guides! The journey is entirely stress-free, filled with wonderful, colourful experiences across huge landscapes and a vibrant culture. It felt like life lived differently. I am so glad I had this trip shared with a group of like-minded, similar-aged Kiwis."

"Every single day there was a highlight, and some were so incredible they were almost indescribable. Craig is a fantastic tour leader with an in-depth knowledge of India and its people. The accommodation and inclusive meals were of a good standard, the locals are friendly, and not once did I feel threatened."

"This tour totally changed my perspective of India and gave us the trip of a lifetime. Our 24 days were packed with fun and excitement. Everything was wonderfully organised by Craig, who took care of every little detail and was prepared for any eventuality. His extensive knowledge and experience made this the perfect tour, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking to visit India."

"I joined the October 2024 North and South tour, and India was everything I hoped it would be. Maharajah Tours provides a great balance of experiences and accommodation. Just when I thought I couldn't be more surprised and delighted, it happened while cruising the Kerala waterways. Having travelled in groups worldwide, I found this group of all Kiwis around my age to be the best I've ever travelled with. I deeply appreciated Craig's experience and support."

"This bucket-list trip covered a massive area and fully met my expectations with its variety, culture, and unique experiences. Craig's seamless organization and tight scheduling kept everything running smoothly. Even when unexpected road conditions caused delays, it simply became an opportunity to observe local life and spark great group discussions. The accommodation was a spacious, air-conditioned mix of old and new, rich in history. Craig expertly guided us through allergies and local food preferences, as well as navigating the local shopping rules and negotiations."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our Eclectic India Tour. Having a small group was highly beneficial as it allowed for a more informal, relaxed structure. The local guides were knowledgeable and interesting, the accommodation was good, and Craig's extensive knowledge and communication skills were essential for an entertaining, successful tour. We highly recommend traveling with Craig and the team."

"Our trip guided competently by Craig left us in no doubt that India is a beautifully complex country. We experienced the real India, warts and all. We felt completely safe in the tuk-tuks, taxis, buses, and walkabouts we took, even when exploring on our own. I wouldn't have missed this experience for the world."

"Our 17-day Eclectic tour across 12 cities was superb. We enjoyed five-star luxury accommodation, flew between cities, and experienced the raw beauty and bustling energy of India. It was a side of life far removed from what Kiwis are accustomed to. Maharajah Tours introduced us to an entrepreneurial, hardworking country, and Craig kept us entirely engaged with his endless stories and adventures stemming from years of experience."

"A great trip with a wide variety of excellent experiences. Craig is ever cheerful and took all the hassle out of traveling in India. It offers great value for money."

"Craig truly loves India, its people, and its culture, and he beautifully shared that passion with our group. His joyful presence enabled our party of 18 to fully experience this magical country in all its diverse, colourful life. Every single day was glorious, from the great historic city of Delhi to the peaceful, quiet waterways of Kerala in the South."

"This North and South India tour far exceeded my expectations. Craig is a great organiser and communicator. Alongside top-class hotels and superb food, we had excellent local guides for our site visits and plenty of personal time for markets and relaxation. There were too many daily highlights to pick from, but the sparkling rooftop cooking class in Udaipur was incredibly memorable. This was an informative, well-run tour and a wonderful luxury holiday."

"These are great small group tours. Absolutely everything is taken care of for you behind the scenes, allowing you to completely relax and just enjoy the journey."

"We had an absolutely amazing tour through Rajasthan. This was quite the most impressive trip I have ever taken. We stayed in incredible places I could never have found on my own and ate in hidden gems I would never have known existed. All up, it was a true lifetime notable event!"

"At our age, we wouldn’t have navigated India on our own, but Craig cared for us perfectly with his carefully curated journeys. We felt completely safe during the colourful Holi festival. Endless highlights included the inspiring Taj Mahal, and seeing wildlife while traveling up the Ganges. We loved it!"
