Luxury India Travel Review, Delwara, Narlai, Delhi, Rajasthan, Dinner at a Stepwell, Agra

A number of components of our trip stand out.
The first is that amongst our city visits we also discussed visiting Ranthambore National Park with the travel team - asking whether it was worth the side track for a visit.  The team encouraged the visit as a variant to city site seeing - but advised that we could not be assured of seeing Tigers.  We are so glad we took their advice , we stayed in a beautiful Tented hotel just outside the Park, and were able to do a few safaris.  Although we did not manage to see any Tigers (unlike other guests at the time) we found our "timeout" from the city hustle and bustle very relaxing and enjoyable.
The second component of our trip that we found most memorable was our stay at the hotel at Delwara.  Delwara sits about 30 minutes drive from Udaipur.  We had listed Udaipur as one of the cities we wished to include on our itinerary.  The travel team staff suggested instead that rather than stay in Udaipur we could stay in Delwara at the hotel and make a day trip into Udaipur.  They also allowed for an "at leisure" day at the hotel with the option of us using the guide and driver should we want them.  We were uncertain at the planning stage whether this would be a good choice, but following phone conversations with representatives felt confident in their recommendations.  We are so glad we took their advice - the location and hotel were just so beautiful - relaxed and elegant.  We decided to make a small change to the itinerary on our "at leisure" day which involved the guide and the driver for a couple of hours - this change occurred seamlessly.
We also enjoyed our time at Narlai, a small village on our drive between Jodhpur and Udaipur (Delwara).  We stopped here overnight as suggested by the team to break up the drive between the cities.  This travel team had arranged for us to enjoy a traditional dinner outdoors at a Stepwell.  We really enjoyed this night.
