About a Glimpse of India Tours

Architecture, culture and traditions…. We take groups on tours to hand picked destinations in India designed to give you a diverse experience. Our intense pride in Indian heritage and culture and an equally intense desire to share it with friends around the world has given birth to ‘A Glimpse of India’ escorted group tours. We take you to select destinations in India with a focus on art and architecture, culture and heritage, traditions and customs and of course the myriad variety of cuisines available in India! We have endeavoured to put together the best itineraries to cover different regions and special interests with a promise of more exciting tours in the future. The tours are escorted by our experienced tour leaders who have expert knowledge of the theme of the tour combined with knowledge of local conditions and an understanding of what westerners want to experience in India.

We showcase India for you – Temples and monuments, dances and cultural performances, delicious meals and dinners, local transport from rickshaws to trains, Bollywood films, shopping from textiles to jewellery and much more.
