Testimonials

"My trip with Cathy was a wonderful and fulfilling adventure in Incredible India. I am four weeks home and I’m still ‘buzzing’. Having been before, this was like seeing India again with new eyes, and it has left me feeling more joy for this vibrant and alluring country. Palaces, markets, artisans, havelis and the eccentricities of India were all lovingly curated within an itinerary that opened doors to places, food, people and culture that Cathy has personally experienced, and holds in her heart. Cathy also made room for spontaneity and accommodated for much treasured ‘in the moment’ authentic experiences. Raju our guide kept us safe and entertained, and visiting his home for a delicious breakfast added an extra level of connection to him and his country. There were too many highlights on this trip. I have an abundance of memories in my heart, and you will too. Just go!!"

"Absolutely loved my time away on this trip with such an amazing group of wahine that walked away from this trip as friends.
I have watched your previous tours and before that I had no interest in visiting India, now I can thank you for opening my eyes and heart to this beautiful place and people."

"The tour through Rajasthan was everything I had hoped for. It ticked all my boxes. Cathy’s carefully curated activities were right up my street. I loved the bead shopping, jewellery making session, the brief flirt with meditation and yoga with the delightful Indian guru, visiting genuine artists in their studios in Udaipur, the cooking class in a family home and doing the wooden block print making workshop."

“Cathy & Raju were a great team as our hosts. They genuinely love India and this shows daily in their energy & enthusiasm. Raju has an extensive knowledge of Indian history, and dealt with all the background ‘hassles’ in a cool way, without us ever being aware. Cathy’s style and eye for unique and beautiful things lead us to some shops and amazing boutique hotels that I don’t think we would have experience on other tours. They always made sure we were safe and comfortable, had water and checked in on us regularly. Hotel arrivals and departures were seamless (from our side!) and the tour bus and our lovely driver was always there when we needed it! I saw and experienced so much beauty in two weeks.. a trip I’ll never forget.I am definitely going back!”

"The energy of India is remarkable! I am forever grateful to Cathy and Raju for safely and authentically sharing their hidden gems with me. Each day I knew where we were heading but I never knew what I was going to see, taste, hear or feel - I was simply surprised everyday. India made my soul sing and I would go back tomorrow."

"I could not have hoped for a better tour. There is no way I could have had that experience otherwise, by going with another tour or trying to do it myself. Superbly organised and curated. It was more than I could have imagined and hoped for. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, then there was the next thing… lots of great surprises and hidden gems.
"It was an unforgettable 2 weeks! I have never had so many wow moments!"

"Cathy and Raju are great hosts. Their shared knowledge, experience and insight of India contributed to a great 14 days. I really appreciated the care taken to find out what we were each wanting to gain from the trip and what we were looking forward to most, to ensure that it was included and we were happy with our experience. At all times I felt cared for and included in the group. There were so many great experiences and highlights of the trip, it's hard to know where to start when telling people about it".

"I cannot recommend this tour of India with Cathy and Raju enough! I feel honoured and privileged to have had the experience of a lifetime. We got to see the 'real' India. There were so many wow moments that it's hard to pick my favourite! India is a place that is hard to describe, it hits you on all levels and in all your senses, photographs just don't do it justice. So if you're on the fence about going - do it! You will not regret it at all!!"
