My husband and I are traveling to India for three weeks in mid December. I am looking for a reputable, reliable and highly recommended tour operator that can plan the entire trip for us - the north and the south. We are looking for a moderate to semi luxury travel itinerary. Any suggestions would be most helpful and appreciated. Thanks.

Some recent recommendations are here:

In three weeks you are planning to visit both north and south India? Let me suggest you choose one or the other for your first three-week visit.

Faith at Indian Panorama [[email protected]]gave us wonderful help in planning a 4 week trip to both Southern and Northern India. She is easy to work with, quick to reply. The drivers we had from her company were outstanding and hotel selections great.

agree 1000% with above. I've booked two great trips (and part of a third) with Indianpanorama. Do be sure Faith herself checks the final itinerary.

We ended up using INB and were very satisfied with the work of Mr. Thakur and his staff. All arrangements were as promised and provided in a timely manner. We requested three star hotels and were generally pleased with the quality of our accommodations. We would recommend INB if you are looking for reasonably priced and efficient service. http://www.inbvacations.com/ Our trip included Delhi, Varanasi, Khjuraho, Orchha, Gwalior, Agra, Fatehpur Sikri, Jaipur and Udaipur over 17 days.

We used VP Singh, LegendsandPalaces.com.
He didn't just show and describe each place visited; he helped make everything come alive.
He is an interesting, intelligent and fascinating person.
My wife and highly recommend him.
He will work with you on an itinerary that will introduce you to India and immerse you in their culture.
Have a great trip.

We just finished a tour offered by Mr. VP Singh as mentioned above and all was very well. He is very professional and engenders trust. I would use his services again in a heartbeat.

We, also, used Mr. V.P. Singh. When we had big problem caused by Air India he was a hero. Very professional service.
