Testimonials
What a great way to spend a Saturday morning. Vaishali is a brilliant guide, engaging and entertaining, which makes the tour a delight. The temple is fascinating but so was the fabric shop- who knew there were so many ways to wear a sari? And the snacks and street food were delicious.

I absolutely loved Vaishali's Immersive India Tour. I was walking around the streets of London, but I felt like I was in India; it was brilliant. The smells, the tastes, the stories, it was so much fun. My highlight was definitely trying the paan. I would never have done it on my own.

I've done a fair few tours over the years but this was the best yet. I think what was so successful about your tour was how your personal stories brought the area to life - it made it much more relatable and interesting.
