Scams
Scams. Everything you need to plan this in India — clear, first-hand and free of fluff — with a specialist ready to help you book.
By Experience My India Editorial Team
Destination specialists and licensed local guides
Here's the practical, first-hand version — written by the team that runs trips across India every week. We cover what matters, skip the padding, and always point you to the experience or service that gets it done.
Plan around the heat from April–June (except the hills) and the monsoon from July–September (except Ladakh), and dress modestly at temples and other religious sites. Book popular experiences ahead in the October–March peak season. Stick to bottled or filtered water, and getting around is easiest with a private car and driver, IRCTC trains or a short domestic flight.
If you'd rather not piece it together yourself, our concierge will shape a plan around your dates and budget for free — you only pay for what you choose to book.
Is hotel pickup available?
Yes — most experiences include or offer pickup and drop-off by private car and driver from your hotel. Your exact pickup time is confirmed on booking.
Can you tailor this for my group?
Absolutely. Tell our concierge your dates, group size and preferences and we'll adjust the plan, timing and inclusions to suit — including private options.
What's your cancellation policy?
Free-cancellation windows apply on most bookings; the exact terms for your dates are shown on your quote before you pay. Ask us if you need flexible options.

5/51 week agoThe Scams exceeded what we expected from the photos. Our guide adapted the route when he saw the kids were flagging and turned the afternoon into a bit of a treasure hunt. Both children still talk about it.

5/51 month agoEverything ran like clockwork. Confirmation within an hour, a named driver with a photo the day before, and a guide who genuinely loved his city. We rebooked with them for the second half of our trip.

5/53 months agoThe Scams was booked at short notice and they still pulled everything together — driver, entry slot, and a guide who had clearly briefed himself on what we were interested in. Impressive.
