“My mission for many years, has been to make as many people fall in love with India, like I did 36 years ago, on my first visit there. Having travelled to many destinations around the world over the years, there has always been something very special and significant about India that kept drawing me back, a feeling I have never experienced anywhere else. With every visit, my connection to its people, its landscape and to its incredible humanity deepened. The richness that this sub-continent offers, in everything from its traditions, cultures, wildlife, vibrant colours and amazing cuisine, is what ultimately led me to start TIKKA TOURS in 2014, to offer a unique, highly personalised and diverse range of tours, using my own insights and in-depth knowledge to showcase ‘Incredible India’ which has now become my 2nd home. Namaste!”

And then came back with an itinerary that exceeded every expectation. Drives through the country. Incredible people, meals, accommodation you only see in movies. Each day was magical. The tigers, the palaces. The morning in Old Delhi when our guide pivoted and took us to food joints that only exist for the locals. All of Claudia’s recommendations. My goodness they are the most beautiful people, so in touch with life and how good it is. They love their country and we love it too. We have travelled, though this was beyond amazing. Claudia, what a beautiful country and what an incredible tour. We will be back. We are counting the days. Thank you! ”
