ABOUT OUR BUYING TRIPS

We believe we can provide you with the business trip of a lifetime!
Intimate groups of 6-8 individuals will have an itinerary customized to
that group's particular needs and interests. In contrast to the bus
tours frequently seen in Asia where participants are led to vendors
offering inflated "wholesale" prices, we offer personal introductions
to suppliers who only sell to large wholesale buyers. Tourists
and small quantity buyers are typically not aware of or able to gain
access to these sources.
No tour operator or travel guide can offer a combination of business
opportunities, luxurious accommodations, logistical support and an
insiders introduction to Delhi and the cities of Rajasthan.
Imagine residing in an historic haveli (traditional small palace from
the era of the British Raj). Your hosts are a charming couple.
Roberto Nieddu, a Sardinian, and his wife Cathy, a Canadian, have
transformed a relic of Rajasthan's past into a guest residence with the
amenities of a top-grade boutique hotel. Roberto's personal
Nepalese chef prepares Italian cuisine blended with Asian inspirations.
Your experience will feel more like visiting a friend than the typical
business trip with a large and impersonal hotel as your quarters.
For your "business" day, you will be introduced to the largest and most
reputable wholesale vendors. These sources are garnered
from our extensive experience in the areas of home furnishings,
textiles, jewelry, architectural elements, and treasures too numerous
to mention. While wondering through acres of fascinating objects
available at prices not found in the western world, your only task is
to choose. We do all the "dirty" work and get the items to your final
destination.
If you choose, personal sightseeing tours of historical sites are
available.
