Testimonials
Highly recommend!
I travelled to Jaipur in 2025 with Nicole and Imran. Jaipur is Imran’s home so we were made feel very welcome and visited places and met people we wouldn’t have otherwise. We had our own vetted group of tuk tuk drivers who were fabulous, caring and just great fun.
One of our group was a bit unwell and was looked after perfectly.
This tour was one of those colourful, magical experiences that are an absolute one-off.
I can’t recommend it more highly.

Highly recommend
In 2025 I had the most fabulous tour of Jaipur with Red Door tours. Nicole found many interesting places to visit. The whole tour was special. Instead of buses we travelled in tuk tuks – a great way of travelling.
We had the opportunity to participate in block printing,a Bollywood dance class and cooking class.We saw beautiful buildings.
One of the many highlights was travelling to a nearby leopard reserve and seeing a leopard.
I always felt safe, the meals were authentic, and tasted great.
There were many opportunities to shop for textiles, jewellery and clothing.
I highly recommend this tour.

If you are thinking of a trip to India, I highly recommend Red Door Tours run by Nicole.
The attention to detail, special care, fabulous accommodation, was just part of the wonderful expereince. You will see more than the normal sites and get a feel for how the people of India live.
I will not hesitate to do another tour with Nicole of Red Door Tours.

Impossible to pick my favourite experience
My tour of India was everything I wanted and so much more. Thank you to Nicole, she is so capable, organised and only hires the best guides and drivers. I learnt so much and fell in love with India and it’s people.
Impossible to pick my favourite experience and when first asked I said the massage. Now that I home and asked almost everyday the same question I give a different answer. To experience Diwali, the stepwells, staying in a haveli, Taj Mahal, meeting the artisans I just don’t know when to stop.
I recommend Red Door Tours, Nicole and Imran, I always felt safe and I had the most amazing experience with them.
