What Makes Our Cultural Journeys Different

We also collaborate closely with local artisans, granting you hands-on encounters with master craftsmen and living cultural traditions. These experiences are designed to be authentic, intimate, and responsible, ensuring that your journey supports the communities and preserves cultural practices. From private workshops to exclusive viewings, every encounter is carefully curated to deliver moments that standard heritage tours cannot provide.

Every itinerary is carefully curated to allow travelers to explore India’s heritage in depth, focusing on quality experiences rather than quantity. You’ll spend more time in fewer places, allowing for thoughtful exploration of sacred architecture, regional traditions, and living cultural practices. Our approach ensures that each visit is immersive — from participating in local ceremonies to engaging with communities, every moment is designed to deepen understanding and foster connection. We emphasize slow, mindful travel, giving you the space to absorb the sights, sounds, and stories of each destination.

What They're Saying
Susan Kind
United Kingdom, Tailor made Tiger Safari tour
We are home now after our wonderful tiger safari holiday. We were very pleased with all the aspects of the arrangements. The hotels, the drivers and the care you took to make sure it all went smoothly – everything was excellent.
We can highly recommend this trip and next time we come to India, we will be contacting you to make the arrangements.
Kim OppenHeim
Switzerland, Tailor made Kerala Group Tour
My husband and I, along with our 2 daughters and a group of 5 students from the international high-school where we teach in Switzerland, just returned from a two-week tour of Kerala organized by Newton Singh at Royal India Holidays. It was in fact one of the best trips we have ever taken, and that is largely thanks to Newton—his energetic participation, his knowledge and constant help, and his warm companionship.
Hannah Oustroumoff
United Kingdom, Tailor made tour of North India
The itinerary as perfect, two nights in each and 1 night in Pushkar gave us enough time to see the interesting sites and places and gave us enough time to relax.
Thank you Newton for all your help with our trip, you have been wonderful and appreciate for what you have done. We will highly recommend.
