Creator's Key Takeaways

the Amazon is is new on the scene right cruise lines have just started basically going into uh that area right so it's it's really new

Avalon has a bit of an edge there not having done it myself and unfortunately we haven't had any of our clients yet do it to get some really good feedback

the Golden Triangle is in the north of India right so you basically you fly into uh New Deli and you start there right from New Delhi you go to Agra Agra is where the Taj Mahal is and boy that does not disappoint

Uniworld is just going to be that little bit higher quality of service Etc Avalon and I'mma do a fabulous job I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them whatsoever
