Hubby and I are going on this trip and i am conflicted about shoes - sneakers best to protect feet? or are sandals OK? Would some heavier shoes be better? Looking foward to the trip! Our first with Tauck.
Hi Tauck Community, I'd like to know if anyone who's taken this tour could share about the type of luggage they chose, the outcome, and lessons learned. (ie: small carry-on wheelies ok?) Would you take the same luggage on the same tour again? Much appreciation for your suggestions. We leave Feb 24th.
I'm a kiwi (NZ) booked on the above trip Am really looking forward to my 2nd trip with Tauck.I would like to do some sightseeing on 28th any suggestons?Also ,the never ending dilemma what to take in relation to climate?
****buonviaggio I'm late to the party in responses but...I absolutely loved the Portrait of India Tour. I liked it so much that I'm returning to India via the North India and Nepal trip in December 2023--which means I'll be repeating parts of the Portrait Tour which I am delighted to do.

Hi Cheesi India--one of my favorite places and Portrait of India is in the top 3 of my Tauck tours. Arriving at 9:30PM is normal.

As Smiling Sam and Cathyandsteve mentioned, there is overlap in Delhi, Agra and Mumbai; however, there are slight differences: * Delhi: POI has a more…
We've always wanted to see the Taj Mahal, but weren't sure that was enough to justify a trip to India. Moreover, we've been warned by fellow travelers about the crowds in India, the street vendors, the water, and even the food. Our interest was piqued, though, when we saw Tauck's itinerary for the Northern India and Nepal…
PureLuxury - It appears that, based on reading the online itinerary, that the itinerary for the days in Delhi, Agra, and Mumbai (2 days in each city) on the Northern India/Nepal tour are exactly the same as they were for our Portrait of India tour. Does that concern you, or do you just that the price you have to pay…
If I remember correctly, when The India tours were firsts offered, Elephanta Island was an optional add on to the tour which is unusual for Tauck. We first became interested in visiting India when we met a couple who had been on Tauck India tours that back then were two separate tours, one did, I guess Northern India and…
