The Qutub Minar stands tall as a testament to India's rich history and architectural prowess. Built in the early 13th century by Qutub-ud-din Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, this iconic tower was intended to signify the advent of Islamic rule in India. Originally conceived as a victory tower to celebrate Muslim dominance, it stands at a height of around 73 meters, adorned with intricate carvings and verses from the Quran. Over time, subsequent rulers added to its magnificence, with expansions and embellishments by Iltutmish and Firoz Shah Tughlaq. Despite facing damages from natural calamities and conflicts, the Qutub Minar has endured, recognized today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a striking symbol of India's historical grandeur.

When you book a group tour to China usually there is not much choice about what to see and when. Your day is packed from 8am to 7pm when you are taken to a restaurant where the menu is decided by the government. You are usually presented with a visit to the Great Wall of China without specifying which part of the Great Wall. To keep costs down most companies take you to the Badaling section which is close to Beijing and most of the time, very overcrowded. If you are on a group tour your not able to see any current exhibitions in any of the cities visited, because there's just not time. In the evenings, you are booked to see a performance of Beijing Opera but without any explanation what is the significance of any of the colours or costumes or masks or dances, so you'll sit there out of sheer politeness and stay till the bitter end like most tourists do.You'll go to Shanghai but you won't have time to catch a world-class performance in the magnificent Shanghai theatre (the seats are so cheap too!). Nor will you be able to ride the fastest train in China, the Maglev, as there is no time, nor will you be able to go to the charming Taikang Lu district as buses can't park down the narrow streets. However, on your group tour you will be taken on factory visits, so-called friendship shops, again earmarked by the government for tourists, in order to increase guides' commission. Most of the time clients are get annoyed that they weren't told about these visits (sometimes 3 a day) which can take up a considerable proportion of your time - for example, instead of spending some quality time at the Great Wall of China you have to go to the pearl shop and even if none of the group members buy anything, the will still guide get commission. On your group tour there will be at least 20 other people, sometimes 30 or 40, and just one guide - how many questions are you going to be able to answer? Are you going to be able to get close enough to hear them even? Fo
