We had such an incredible experience on our trip with Joshua. He is so knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and really understands the ins and outs of Indian culture and Jewish community there. If I could give him ten stars, I would!

Joshua is genuinely the best person to go to India with. He is energetic, funny, and knows everybody and everything. He knows all the hole in the wall spots, and has connections all around India. He was a particularly great tour guide for Jewish India. I learned so much and found it really special to be learning from a member of the B’nai Israel community. I can’t recommend Joshua highly enough. Seriously.

We are so lucky to have had Hanna as our guide. Jewish Mumbai came alive. She also took us to the outdoor laundry & we saw the lunchbox distribution. Hanna is a wonderful guide sharing interesting & relevant stories. We needed some information for our next stop to Udaipur and Hanna didn’t hesitate to help. She went above & beyond and truly is wonderful.
