When I arrived in India for the first time, I thought I could easily travel by my own without an organised planning and trip but I quicly realised how complicated it was for a woman to travel alone. India is a spacial and amazing country but you have to be careful. I was a bit lost when I arrived in Delhi Tourism Services offices. M.KUMAR Ajay did his best to explain a lot of things about Indian culture and told me it was safer to travel with a bit of organisation. I ended booking a tour with the agency at a very reasonalble price for 2 weeks. M y stay in India was great :) Mathilde. Paris. January 2009
