My sincere thanks to Tara Gupta and her India-By-Design (IDB) team for a tremendous adventure in India and Bhutan.
I started my adventure in late October in Delhi for several days, and then went on to Agra. The local IBD guides in both cities were amazing with their depth of knowledge and patience with me (I asked a LOT of questions). Lalit, my driver in India, was incredible; nerves of steel and totally unflappable in traffic like I’ve never seen anywhere else in the world. And, with Tara participating in much of my sightseeing in Delhi, I know I got an “insider’s” view of her hometown.
It was then on to Bhutan for twelve days of festivals and spectacular sightseeing. Our guide, Tsring, shared her passion and exceptional knowledge of her country and the Buddhist religion. And, our driver, Tsongay, was terrific.
I knew from the beginning and throughout the entire three weeks I traveled with Tara and the rest of her team that I was in excellent hands, that all details had been checked and double-checked, and that I had absolutely nothing to worry about other than to enjoy all the wonders they showed me in both countries.
I whole-heartedly endorse Tara Gupta and India-By-Design as the go-to source for expertly planned, personalized, knowledgeable, friendly, travel services of exceptional value.
