Tour reviewsWendy Wu Tours Review:"Another excellent tour. Just the right amount of travelling and sightseeing. Nice to have 2 nights in some places so you can have a day off from being in the bus. It was a very varied tour, with deserts, national parks, cities, villages, palaces , forts and temples. The camel rides were great fun. Our Guide Jolly was excellent and went to a lot of trouble explaining local customs to us. As we were driving right past the motorbike temple he took us there and it was fascinating. And the elephant festival was on while we were in Jodhpur, so he arranged for us to go and went to a lot of trouble to make sure we all got the best seats. My husband is a mad Arsenal fan and Jolly went out of his way on 2 occasions to ensure that tony got to see his games. His English is superb and he is quite a character. He even loaned his laptop out to everyone who needed to send emails. Thank you so much." Mr and Mrs Anthony Daniel, Queensland - February 2012 Price guide
