map of Golden Triange Tour of India with Red Door Tours

Welcome to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, India!

This tour offers a chance to explore the pink city with a small group of like-minded people.

Nicole spends months in Jaipur each year and has hand-picked experiences to ensure you experience the best of the city and gain a deep understanding of Indian culture.

If you have visited Jaipur before, you’ll be delighted for new experiences and places to visit. The weather is perfect in February. Mild and not hot!

If it is your first time to Jaipur, you will love the variety of activites.

You will travel by tuk-tuk allowing you to immerse yourself in the city and a private bus.

9 days in Jaipur will allow you to truly immerse yourself in the culture and vibrancy of India.

There is a mix of experiences from a Bollywood dance class to block printing, and a fabulous cooking class. Everything is optional!

Did we mention the textile shopping? Block print fabrics, vintage textiles, ribbons, kantha quilts, clothing and more. You can also visit a tailor to have clothing made.

Elizabeth Sullivan is our guest textile artist and you will love stitching with her. We will hold informal sessions guided by the group!

We invite friendly, easy-going travellers who are looking for a fun small group experience.

Book today as this tour will sell out quickly!

What an amazing adventure we have had in India, so much more than expected. Nicole and Imran ensured that we didn’t miss a thing whilst always feeling safe. Every need and interest was catered for. This has been a wonderful trip. If you are looking for a fantastic tour, expertly and thoughtfully organised I would highly recommend Red Door Tours.

My husband and I have just completed Red Door Tour's Royal Rajasthan. What a wonderful overview of this state in India. A bit of everything: amazing forts and palaces, village life, temples, textiles, food, tuk tuks, quaint accommodation and great company with a like-minded but diverse group of people. Somehow everyone's interests and needs were met.

Uzbekistan is a country in central Asia on the Silk Road. The impressive architecture is unique and at times overwhelming. Nicole Farrell will take you to cities and towns across the country and give many opportunities to see the architecture, the stunning embroideries, woven fabrics and rugs to name just a few. She will take you to places which showcase all that is unique to this country. The small group tours ensure that everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the experiences offered and bring home stunning photos and unique purchases.

Red Door Tours was the ideal company to make my dream of travelling the ancient Silk Road a reality. Nicole organised visits to an amazing variety of places, from silk factories, bazaars featuring vintage fabrics, embroidery masters home with a meal and workshop, sunset dinners overlooking ancient buildings and all the wondrous sites of Uzbekistan. This small group tour was a wonderful way to travel with like minded people. Our local guides were just delightful and Uzbekistan and our itinerary did not disappoint. Great job Nicole 👏

We loved our trip to Uzbekistan! Fabulous destination - stunning architecture, glorious textiles, interesting culture and good food. Nicole was a great tour leader - always available to offer help and advice, and very entertaining! Her enthusiasm is infectious. The itinerary was well planned, we stayed in comfortable hotels and although there were a couple of minor hiccups with the local buses those moments provided us with a good laugh and happy memories. We have already booked our next tour with Red Door Tours!

We have just come back from an amazing, unique trip to Sri Lanka, with Nicole from Red Door Tours June 2025. Very well organised, excellent communication, flexible, a great mix of culture, unique local experiences, creativity plus travelling with like-minded friendly people. Loved the Women’s Co-Op’s, seeing the traditional loom weaving, hand painting bags, temples, Sri Lankan food, Ceylon tea, drinking & eating fresh coconuts, climbing Lion rock, elephant Safari, & of course the shopping! This was our 4th trip with Nicole from Red Door Tours. Morocco, Northern India, Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka & the Maldives. Highly recommend doing a tour with Red Door Tours. So many fabulous memories. Thanks Nicole.

  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.

Lucy – Textiles and Traditions of Jaipur, 2025

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.

Highly recommend

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.

Maree – Temples, Textiles and Tastes of India, 2024

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.

 

Julie – Travel Journaling, India 2023
