Travel Review: Luxury Solo Tour of India, Agra, Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Art & Architecture, Culture & Religion

If I could give this travel company 6 stars, I would--it was that good an experience in every possible way!  I went alone to India for two weeks, despite friends' concerns about my traveling solo as a woman, but absolutely every single detail of the trip went smoothly, easily, and safely.  I felt free to enjoy my experiences fully without any practical worries nibbling at the edges, and felt very safe and protected at all times.  My guides were all very knowledgeable, but more than that, they were lovely people with whom I enjoyed spending time.  My drivers were extremely skillful, and that counts for a lot--driving in India is not for the faint of heart!  Someone from the company called me at each new location to check in and make sure everything was going well, and would have immediately addressed any issues, had there been any; but all I ever had were glowing thanks and praise at each call.  They even sent a representative or courier to help with each of seven hotel check-ins and/or negotiating flights within India!  I also appreciated their responsiveness to my desire to stay in heritage hotels (former mansions and even palaces) rather than anonymous-style big hotels that could have been anywhere.  Some of the amazing places I stayed in were a significant part of the pleasure on this trip.  You just can't ask for (or even imagine) better than all that.  The way the company functions takes all the worries out of traveling alone anywhere, and I'm certain I'll use the company again and again now that I feel empowered to do more traveling on my own.

Your overall comment on Zicasso

I discovered Zicasso from searching online for tour companies that go to India; one site would lead me to another and another. When I finally fetched up at Zicasso I felt I'd arrived at last where I wanted to be. And the entire experience really was exactly what I hoped for but didn't know existed.
