Re: 40 days until we leave for our POI tour :) Woohoo :)

Re: Yoga in India
LindaMarie NancieWD I took the Portrait of India tour in 2018. It was a jam packed schedule. Go Go Go. I arrived two days early and had a nice massage and body treatment and toured places not included on the Tauck itinerary. I did not utilize the health club. I do recall the Leela Palace offering yoga sessions. When you… -

Re: Food on Portrait of India
MotherofPoodles Yes, you can definitely get western food on this tour. Please know you can ask the restaurant to adjust the spice level. I love Indian food but my stomach can't tolerate to much "heat". I took this tour December 2018 and I'm taking the Northern India/Nepal tour December 2023. This is a great tour...it will… -
Re: Difference in small group vs standard
Comment by JohnS · · Home› Discuss Trips by Region› United States› Southern and Midwestern USA› Southern Charms: Savannah, Hilton Head & CharlestonOur first Tauck trip was in 2015 which was Imperial Europe (now renamed to Warsaw, Budapest, Vienna & Prague). It was a full standard tour but there were only 18 people on the tour. I believe that the tour did not sell out and there were last minute cancellations. We were expecting to have about 40 people on the tour.… -
