"Catherines experience completely shifted my perspective on visiting India. After decades of traveling there, she doesn’t just know the route, she knows the heartbeat of the country. You could feel her deep relationships with the local communities, and her calm confidence made navigating every situation feel effortless. That sense of safety was exactly what I needed to let go and just be present. The sights were beyond belief. Standing before the Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves left me speechless - wow, what an amazing feat of history to witness in person. And Varanasi was pure magic, watching the Ganga Aarti from our boat is a memory that will stay with me forever. This was honestly a life-changing journey, more than just a holiday. I would travel with Tully again in a heartbeat." Angela Scriberras, Sydney, Australia (Epic, Mysterious and Majestic Tour - India)
