My tour with Breathedreamgo completely blew my mind. They planned my trip with many emails prior to my Melbourne departure. They listened, picked out my interests, and made relevant suggestions. Mariellen chatted with me on the phone to answer all my travel queries, and planned a truly magical tour — tailored to me. I toured India alone and was so pleased to be met at the airport by a company manager, who introduced me to a wonderful, pleasant, calm, and extremely helpful driver.

I loved that our tour was customized by Mariellen of Breathedreamgo, and Anna of Open Eyes to include so much of a focus on women from the Days for Girls Kit distributions, to most of our guides being female, to visiting the young female taxi driver’s home, and to visiting the Sheroes’ Cafe in Agra. It was a nice balance between tourism, and “bringing change for the better.” Experiencing the Holi Festival in Jaipur was an over-the-top WOW moment … way out of my comfort zone, but it was an amazing time to share in such a sacred, cultural experience. I will never forget it!

One of the highlights of our tours was the presence of knowledgeable local guides who accompanied us on every excursion. These guides were not just experts in the history and culture of the regions we explored, but they were also passionate storytellers who brought India’s vibrant past and present to life. I also can’t say enough about our full-time driver. He was so personable and fun that long drives flew by and introduced us to hidden gems and local experiences that we would have otherwise missed.

All went great, thank you so much for arranging the trip and helping me along the way with all the extra help and attention. You truly made the adventure very easy. 

Honestly, this is the best trip I have ever taken and everyone who has seen my pictures and has seen me afterwards has said that they have never seen me happier and can’t believe all the places I went and things I did
