ESCORTED TOURS

Drawing on 30 years of expertise, our expert-led small-group journeys offer exclusive access to special areas and unforgettable experiences

We are proud to offer expertly led tours across India, guided by a select group of exceptional individuals who are not only deeply knowledgeable about their regions but are also respected and well-connected members of their local communities. These tour leaders are not outsiders or temporary guides, they live in the areas they share with guests, offering insights shaped by a lifetime of personal experience, cultural immersion, and genuine passion for their homeland.

Many of our tour leaders have worked with us for over thirty years, developing a deep understanding of our travellers’ interests and expectations. Their extensive experience allows them to navigate each journey with skill and sensitivity, adapting as needed and enriching every day with context, humour, and compelling storytelling. Whether explaining the spiritual significance of a temple ritual, introducing guests to a village artisan, or guiding a nature walk through a forest they know intimately, our tour leaders bring destinations alive in a way no guidebook ever could.

Having a dedicated tour leader accompany your trip also means a smoother, more relaxed experience. They handle on-ground logistics, provide meaningful interpretation, and build real bridges between cultures, creating space for serendipity and connection while ensuring everything runs to plan. Their presence enhances both understanding and enjoyment, making them a valuable part of any in-depth cultural journey.

If you would like one of our expert tour leaders to accompany your tour, we would be delighted to arrange this. As they are in high demand and their schedules fill up well in advance, we kindly request a minimum of four to five months’ notice prior to your departure date. This ensures we can confirm their availability and craft your itinerary with their involvement in mind.

Choosing to travel with one of our experienced local tour leaders adds a rich and personal layer to your experience of India. It’s not just about seeing a place, it’s about understanding it through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
