You did an absolutely gorgeous job filming all of this. My first time in India, I spent six weeks with four of those weeks on a Buddhist pilgrimage. I love India, and you provided a gorgeous documentary of your stay. 🙏
Dear Rich & Helen, I always knew that the Oberoi chain of hotels was GOOD, but your work made them seem EXCEPTIONAL. The other Indian chains TAJ & LEELA are also phenomenal. Your photography & narration was professional & great. Loved it.
Rich and Helen, I'm an Indian American, live in the USA for last fifty years. I haven't seen India the way you're showing me. Growing up near Kolkata, we visited Oberoy Grand Hotel in Kolkata but we could never afford to stay there. Thank you, thank you. You described India beautifully. The yellow flowers garland s you're greeted with are just local merry golds. But I have to commend you on your choice of music in the background. Beautiful, and just perfect!!! All the best.
Well Kolkata is still the same so you have not lost anything same city trapped in its past reminiscent of its lost fortune shrouded in pain and misery. I am sure you will love to visit again.
I was just saying, “Where are all the peaco…oh! There they are!” This is already my favorite series. India just always feels joyful to me, even when life there is harsh. Thank you for giving it the Visit With Us treatment!
Haha! The peacock were such a joy to observe. Yes, life is harsh and you'll see much more of that in part 2 when we go into rural India up the Ganges river basin. :)
Been on my bucket list for years.....ahh, such mixed feelings watching your wonderful vlog, awe, amazement, admiration and a pressing need to check the state of the piggy bank. Can't wait for the next one.
Hi Rich and Helen.. I am Indian living in London and just stumbled across your video. WOW..I loved it..what an AMAZING video and the way you have captured and more importantly portrayed your journey in India is truly epic and mesmerising. Im not being biased but India has everything..it really is the most beautiful country in the world. I have just come back from the Great North India travels which included, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Shimla, Varanasi, Amritsar and the Golden Temple - a must visit. THANK YOU for capturing India so beautifully and elegantly and showing it to the world,as UK residing citizens❤❤❤
Thank you for watching and for your kind words. India is such a colourful, rich and vibrant country and it was wonderful to see two very different sides of life there. We hope it’s not our last visit there, there’s so much more to see. We’re delighted that you think we did your country justice 🧡
Incredible! Brings back extraordinary memories of my trip to the Golden Triangle in 2009. I believe we stayed at the Taj brand hotels rather than Oberoi, and they were stunning as well. Excited for the next part of your journey!
Absolutely incredible. The sights and sounds were superb, the hotels looked amazing! Jaipur was real surprise never seen anything of it before. Cant wait to see the river cruise.
Excellent video. Yes the Oberoi chain of hotels are fantastic. Actually some boutique heritage hotels are beautiful as well. And you definitely need that extra day to just enjoy the hotel environs completely.
Absolutely stunning ! Even looking at this first episode - and also your previous Milan and Venice trip episodes - Uniworld looks a real class act in river cruise itineraries, quality and experiences.
Thanks Nik. Yes, so far, Uniworld have been the best we’ve experienced for overall itinerary and bespoke experiences. Not cheap, but then nothing exceptional ever is. 🙂
"The Golden Triangle is popular, but it's overrated and overcrowded. India is so much more than that! The country has an incredible diversity of topography, from white sand beaches and islands to towering mountains and ski resorts. Check out Kerala and the Andaman Nicobar Islands for pristine beaches, or explore the Himalayan states like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand for stunning mountain views and adventure sports. Karnataka has amazing spots like Mysore, Hampi, and Coorg, while Maharashtra offers the ancient Ellora Caves. Goa beaches, along with Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh’s rich history, are also worth your time. There’s so much more to India than the Golden Triangle, so don't limit yourself to just the usual spots!"
Yes, we agree. We’ve also been to Mumbai and Kerala (which we loved) and there will be a follow up video to this one where we sail up the Ganges river from Kolkata to some very remote parts of India. Look out for that video coming out this weekend, we think you’ll love it 😍 Thanks for watching.
What a great overview! I’ve cruised through India before on Azamara, but I never wanted to go in-depth. Watching your video made me want to “tour” my way through. Thank you for sharing your experience. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Thank you 🤩 We too have visited a couple of places in India on the Azamara Spice route cruise but you do see a whole other side to the country by spending time inland. Hopefully the next in the series will be out soon. Please make sure you have the bell notification turned on so you will see when we release it 👍 Thanks again for watching.
I live in Australia and even I know what South Mimms is (from memory it’s a motorway services). Oberoi is a chain of luxury hotels across India, ME and Asia- have stayed at a few in my time (think they used to have one here in Melbourne at one time but not any more).
Another great video, well done Rich and Helen! Your videos look so professional and narrated so well that they would not look out of place on Channel 4, I think they should offer you a job!
Can't wait for part two. I love these offbeat cruises. I mentioned it in the live once, but you really should check out SS Sudan. It's the inspiration for "Death on the Nile". It's a paddle steamer so it looks completely different to anything else there.
@@visitwithus No worries. Sorry I had to go halfway through the live. I'm going to watch the second half now to see if you picked my question. Bon voyage.
Such absolute beauty, mixed with utter poverty. But thank you so much for sharing this with us. This holiday is on my bucket list, should I be fortunate enough to ever be able to afford it! Thank you for yet another fabulous video, can't wait for the next one.
I thought pedal rickshaws were banned 😊 but I guess Delhi needs them hummm…… I moved back to Pune in July 2024 from London. And I lived in London 25 yrs but believe it not Idon’t miss London 😀 . Thank you for the wonderful vlog as I haven’t done the golden triangle as yet but it’s on the card. You got a soothing voice.👌🙏
It was so wonderful to meet you guys on the Rhine recently, and great to hear about this trip - it's so clear that you're so passionate about this part of the world. I think your content from here might just persuade me to make the trip - it's an area that hasn't really been on my bucket list, but this video has been SUCH an immersion - excellently done!
Looks like you had a lovely time. India is a great place to visit in style. However I think it is fair to say that people visiting do need to be aware they will often see a side of life that may be confronting (poverty and general life). But that could be said for many countries I suppose.
Your videos have given me a lovely glimpse of exotic places during a hard time when I haven’t been able to travel. You’re so enviable too! Couple goals!! Love the videos and all your beautiful trips!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the video, excellent as always. I stayed at the Oberoi in Mumbai years ago, it is one of the worlds best hotel groups. One question, how careful were you regarding meals at local eateries? On my trip it was a concern for some colleagues, Jim
Thanks for watching Jim. We were advised not to eat outside of the recommended places or the hotels we were staying at or the ship. We were very happy to run with that lol!
That’s such a difficult question to answer as pricing depends on when you travel, where you are booking from etc etc. At the moment a similar trip in Jan next year (the same time of year we travelled) booked directly through there website is upward of £6000pp including flights from London and all other costs from beginning to end. We would however recommend contacting a travel agent as they might be able to get a better price or added incentives. We work closely with Panache cruises and can send you an email contact if you are interested in making an enquiry (they can book both here in the UK and the US/Canada). Please feel free to email us on: richandhelen@visitwithus.co.uk if you want more info. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
In India , culture is authentic, people are welcoming, good or bad,,,,, everything unfolds infront of you. It's developing very rapidly but with culture. It's vibrant & colourful.
These days Europe and North America is getting hot in August due to global warming. You can visit these areas of South Asia for pleasant weather in August. 1) Kashmir: Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Sonamarg. 2) Himachal Pradesh: Shimla, Kullu and Manali 3) Uttarakhand: Rishikesh, Mussoorie, Landour and Dhanaulti 4) Nepal: Kathmandu, Pokhara and Nagarkot. 5) Darjeeling, Pelling and Gangtok: Gorkhaland and Sikkim 6) Bhutan: Phuentsholing, Thimphu and Paro 7) Pakistan: Islamabad, Murree and Nathiagali. These 7 regions are like 7 different countries. Unfortunately, golden triangle which is Delhi, Agra and Jaipur has become famous for travel in South Asia because it has forts, palaces, mosques, temples, 18th century Bazaars and colorful slums.
Great travel video guys! Loved it! By the way, did anyone else on your tour group signed up for the optional pre-tour of Udaipur or the post-cruise extension of Varanasi? If yes, did they enjoy those trip extensions?
Thank you for watching and your kind words. We don't know if anyone did the pre or post tours, but we nearly signed up for the Varanasi extension. It would've been a fascinating add on, but it involved a lot of extra travel and we just didn't have the time. :)
@@visitwithus Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. Just based on your helpful review, my family booked the exact suite cabin on the Coral Princess for our Alaska trip next year. on Keep up the GREAT travel videos!
We took a piece of check in luggage each which was included for the international and internal flights. Luggage was collected from outside our hotel room each morning and delivered to our rooms when we arrived at the next hotel. You just need to carry your hand luggage with you. If you have any more questions please ask. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your prompt response. We understand from our agent that the internal flight has a luggage restriction of 15kg. How did you deal with this. Thank you
You can pay for extra weight when you get to the airport. I can’t remember the exact amount but it really wasn’t that much - you just pay a few dollars (from memory, so sorry I can’t remember the exact amount) for every extra kilo at check in.
I’ve watched a number of visiting India vlogs in my day, but the retention of places like Humayun’s Tomb. Memory probably has something to do with it, but it feels like the first time I’ve heard about one of the precursor’s to the Taj Mahal. And speaking of which, the early fog tour I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. It’s like…traversing into the nebulously obscurant fog of history. Like being closer to there than here. Far from obscurant though are the hotels. Coming from no doubt the American of tourists, the Oberoi Amarvilas looks to me like the most ancient recreations of an ancient palace.
Thanks for watching and your interesting comments - we ALWAYS appreciate them! Yes, the Oberoi Resorts are very well designed and thought through. Stunning places!
Hotels look beautiful. Interesting to see the areas. Do they do food other than curry and red meat in the evenings in the hotels please? What time of year did you go?
Yes they do. All of the hotels we stayed in offered a ‘western’ style option but we love curry 😂🥵❤️ Many regions of India are largely vegetarian so the food is often based around vegetables which are abundant and delicious (watch part two when it come out for that 😁). We were there in January which was surprisingly cold. I would probably try to go a bit later in the year tbf (though not too close to summer when it would be oppressively hot) or maybe in early autumn 👍
Now imagine the plight of an Indian who has to beg for visa just to visit the dull hotels with rude (avoiding the truer r-word) staff and bland foods in the so-called "developed" world.
Not sure what we could do about this but obviously we appreciate that we are very fortunate to be able to travel as widely and relatively easily as we do. Thanks for watching.
@@anildhawan1567 Please watch part 2. There’s only really the Ganges or Kerala in India for river cruises. Totally different. This part was the land section of a river cruise. Part two features the Ganges.
Whilst it is a tourist hotspot it is still a fantastic insight for many visitors who have never been to India before. However, after this we spent a week on the Ganges river which you can watch here ⬇️ th-cam.com/video/S0w1EUxs3_4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tKcXoLHA0k-jP1VM
The video looks great...but I'm no longer watching channels with sponsored content. I feel it biases the reviewer. Gary Benbridge has great things to say about this. I also believe you ought to add #AD to this sort of content. I have enjoyed your channel in the past but, like the channel Emma Cruises, this channel seems to be becoming more "fluff" and less "info."
@@christophercollins1371 I’m sorry you feel that way. Gary has the benefit of millions of views per month meaning he gets paid a lot more than we do. Believe me, when he was our size, he did hosted trips too to make the channel pay. Our content is geared towards people who want to find out about a certain voyage or experience. It’s a ‘show and tell’ and the vast majority of our viewers appreciate and value that. Without hosted trips, we simply wouldn’t be able to afford to bring the content we do. Everyone loses in that respect. We appreciate the feedback and hope you appreciate the enormous effort we put into every single video. Everything we show is authentic and genuine. We can’t do more than that. We also fully disclose what we’ve paid for and what the cruise line has provided in every description. We dislike the word ‘ad’ because it’s so open to misinterpretation.
I appreciate your wonderful videos and living vicariously through the both of you. Especially Uniworld river cruises, I'm a fan and enjoy learning more about the ships and excursions.
Somebody is going to do it so better to enjoy such a quality video compared to so many with bad lighting, camera work or lack of important details. Aren't we all a bit envious it isn't us doing it?!
@@izengolf1 Haha! We spend an ENORMOUS amount of time on the camera work, sound, music, narrative and little details. More than almost every other content creator I’d wager. Thank you for appreciating this. It really does make us feel like it’s worth the while. ❤️

Thanks for watching and your interesting comments - we ALWAYS appreciate them! Yes, the Oberoi Resorts are very well designed and thought through. Stunning places!
Hotels look beautiful. Interesting to see the areas. Do they do food other than curry and red meat in the evenings in the hotels please? What time of year did you go?
Yes they do. All of the hotels we stayed in offered a ‘western’ style option but we love curry 😂🥵❤️
Many regions of India are largely vegetarian so the food is often based around vegetables which are abundant and delicious (watch part two when it come out for that 😁).
We were there in January which was surprisingly cold. I would probably try to go a bit later in the year tbf (though not too close to summer when it would be oppressively hot) or maybe in early autumn 👍
@@visitwithus Many thanks for the quick reply. Now another place on our list !

The Hotels look like destinations in themselves
They are. The Oberoi Hotels are super luxury resorts. 😍
Where is the following video of 5 nights of ABSOLUTE LUXURY discovering the Indian Golden Triangle. Part 2 Please ?
@@didierroux1547 Keep an eye out today. 😉
Oberoi hotels is the best 5 star hotel chain in Indian in terms of service.

Marigolds.
Took me a while to figure out the context but got there in the end. 😂
Now imagine the plight of an Indian who has to beg for visa just to visit the dull hotels with rude (avoiding the truer r-word) staff and bland foods in the so-called "developed" world.
Not sure what we could do about this but obviously we appreciate that we are very fortunate to be able to travel as widely and relatively easily as we do.
Thanks for watching.
This River Cruise in the write up is bloody misleading... looking for an Indian River Cruise
@@anildhawan1567 Please watch part 2. There’s only really the Ganges or Kerala in India for river cruises. Totally different. This part was the land section of a river cruise. Part two features the Ganges.
luxury prices
Yes. Luxury prices for a luxury experience. Should you expect anything different? 🙂

Golden triangle the worst place to visit in India
Whilst it is a tourist hotspot it is still a fantastic insight for many visitors who have never been to India before.
However, after this we spent a week on the Ganges river which you can watch here ⬇️

The video looks great...but I'm no longer watching channels with sponsored content. I feel it biases the reviewer. Gary Benbridge has great things to say about this. I also believe you ought to add #AD to this sort of content. I have enjoyed your channel in the past but, like the channel Emma Cruises, this channel seems to be becoming more "fluff" and less "info."
@@christophercollins1371 I’m sorry you feel that way. Gary has the benefit of millions of views per month meaning he gets paid a lot more than we do. Believe me, when he was our size, he did hosted trips too to make the channel pay. Our content is geared towards people who want to find out about a certain voyage or experience. It’s a ‘show and tell’ and the vast majority of our viewers appreciate and value that. Without hosted trips, we simply wouldn’t be able to afford to bring the content we do. Everyone loses in that respect. We appreciate the feedback and hope you appreciate the enormous effort we put into every single video. Everything we show is authentic and genuine. We can’t do more than that.
We also fully disclose what we’ve paid for and what the cruise line has provided in every description. We dislike the word ‘ad’ because it’s so open to misinterpretation.
I appreciate your wonderful videos and living vicariously through the both of you. Especially Uniworld river cruises, I'm a fan and enjoy learning more about the ships and excursions.
@@izengolf1 Thank you. 😊 YOU are exactly why we put out the videos we do. To share the experience and give people ideas and inspiration. ❤️
Somebody is going to do it so better to enjoy such a quality video compared to so many with bad lighting, camera work or lack of important details. Aren't we all a bit envious it isn't us doing it?!
@@izengolf1 Haha! We spend an ENORMOUS amount of time on the camera work, sound, music, narrative and little details. More than almost every other content creator I’d wager. Thank you for appreciating this. It really does make us feel like it’s worth the while. ❤️
this is a advert
Not an advert. What do you want us to do? Slate a brilliant experience? We’re not into click bait I’m afraid. You need to go elsewhere for that.
MARIGOLD is the flower ❤
Thank you 🤩
The Oberoi properties are all 5-star hotels; their higher-end product is Trident
Wow, can’t imagine how luxurious they would be 😍
