I am passionate about travel and that's what made me join our tour operator right out of my college. Working in a travel company is an exciting and rewarding experience, especially for a person like me who is passionate about travel. As a travel expert, I get opportunity to share my knowledge and experience with clients and help them plan their dream vacations.
Our tour operator is specialized on unique trips tailored to individual interests. A type of travel experience that is rare in India, where most tours emphasize ticking off as many main sites as possible, often as group tours in coaches. We like taking a personalized approach to every traveler: private drivers, specialized guides, a real understanding of the culture through our cuisine, getting to know the religion and visiting historical sites. A successful trip for us means seeing travelers experiencing authentic India with its colors, liveliness and raw passion.
Our tours are best suited to those looking for an authentic experience that allows flexibility to discover.

08/01/2027“Hema has done a great job in helping us to put together our trip to India. She has taken our 'outline plan' and crafted into what we expect to be a really good itinerary. She has patiently taken on board our desire and requirements for a high level of independence during the trip. We are now looking forward to a great couple of months in India in 2027”
Janet
14/03/2026“We had an amazing trip to Rajasthan with Active India which was recommended by Rough Guides. We told Rough Guides what sort of holiday we wanted and where we wanted to go and they suggested a few Companys to look at. We were so happy with our choice. We had a stress free trip, we had a wonderful, careful driver throughout the 14 days and very knowledgeable Guides when visiting each historic site. We would be happy to use Rough Guides in the future.”
Lucy
13/01/2026“We had a really great time in Kerala over Christmas and New Year. We can't praise Julie from Indian Stories highly enough for all her help in making the trip such a success. Our driver was endlessly helpful, courteous and efficient; his vehicle was super comfortable. All the accommodation and outings organised were varied and delightful. The tour guides were always punctual and informative. Thank you very much indeed for arranging such a wonderful itinerary for our family.”

08/04/2025“Julie from Rough Guides put together an itinerary for the two of us travelling around India for four weeks. We both tweaked it until we were both completely happy. It was a wonderful experience, and Julie's depth of knowledge and attention to detail made it a most amazing month for both of us. Everything worked like clockwork, the transport, hotels, guides, etc, were all spot on. If you are planning a trip to one of the most wonderful countries on the planet, simply contact Rough Guides, they will put you on to Julie, and she will do the rest.”
Mark, UK
23/12/2024“We used Rough Guides to arrange our trip to India. We started in Delhi for the Rajasthan touring experience and in the 2nd week of our holiday we headed South to Kerala. From the first interaction with Rough Guides website through to the final goodbye at Delhi airport the service we received was first class. The itinerary was top class. All the transfers were seamless, the guides charming and the hotels were exactly as described. We really felt in all regards the holiday was a great success.”

“If you are afraid on going to India please let Rough Guides and more precisely Abhinav help you with all, I designed by my own the cities and hotels I would stay in, but wanted to have a dedicated car service and guides to help me with the sightseen, transportation, airport and hotels pick-ups, and the services arranged and managed by Abhinav were perfect, all the drivers and guides were extremely reliable and professionals, I am sure I had not enjoyed my trip to India without the service and help of Abhinav, the drivers and the guides.”
Paul, UK
27/03/2025“My Rough Guides Expert experience was 1st Class. From my initial thoughts on where i'd like to go in India to the comprehensive schedule with accomodation, transport, driver, guides and timings developed and agfreed between myself and Julie Clark at Indian Stories. My adventure was fulfiling, ticked all the boxes, ensured my safety and well being throughout. As a solo traveller, age 61, it was important to feel fully supported.”
Lou, Australia
“We booked an eight-week trip to India for our family of three (our son is 12 years old) with our Rough Guides agent, Julie. We wanted to book our own accommodation and sightseeing, with Julie assisting us with our transport/travel plans. Julie was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and communicative. Throughout the process, she assisted us with our itinerary and relevant bookings. Once our trip commenced, Julie and her team regularly checked in on us and were ready and willing to sort out any ‘on the ground’ issues (we had none, but knew we could contact Julie and her team if we needed). Our trip went smoothly and we had wonderful, attentive, safe drivers. We couldn’t have been more happy with how our trip went. Highly recommend!”
Nicole
23/12/2024“Rough Guides helped tailor a month-long trip to India wbetween ourselves and an Indian based tour company. All communication went through the Rough guides portal, a rough guides agent and the Indian tour company giving us confidence in the choice of tour company. As an added security blanket the payments to the tour company were managed by rough guides through their online secure payment system. I would definitely use Rough Guides again for future trips.”
