On the last day we return to Delhi.
I never thought that a destiny could bring my mother and me so close together.
I have shared experiences that I will never forget.
It was my wife who wanted to go to India.
For me there are so many places to discover that India was not my first destination.
We looked at different trips but it was all very conventional and I was not convinced.
When we were advised Open Eyes, I told my wife ‘this way it motivates me’.
It’s really cool! We enjoyed it to the fullest!
We laughed, and we were thrilled as we had been for a long time.
We are very grateful to have found this recommendation.
Just the first day has been an explosion of culture and experiences…. I can’t control my excitement!
Don’t worry, contact us at info@openeyesproject.com or through our contact page, and our team in India will design the trip of your dreams, considering your motivations, purpose, dates and duration of the trip.
We will inform you of all the steps to follow.
If you have already visited our group tours page and there is one that interests you, please email us at info@openeyesproject.com to check availability and receive all the details.

Don’t think twice!
Since 2011, Open Eyes has been promoting responsible and sustainable tourism in India.
Our commitment is to respect destinations, generate a positive impact and design high quality experiences for travelers and therefore we avoid large groups so as not to invade cities and rural areas, and not to negatively affect the local socio-cultural and economic aspects generated by massive groups.
We limit our groups to a maximum of 14 people, guaranteeing a more pleasant, exclusive and profound trip.
This facilitates an authentic and respectful connection between travelers, the local community and the environment.
Although it is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to take out travel insurance.
