India is a big country with lots of interesting places.
Sometimes travellers only see famous sights and miss the cool stories behind them.
The government and a website called MakeMyTrip are working together.
They made a list of more than 350 fun guided tours.
These tours happen in more than 60 cities across India.
Some tours explore old streets, food, and crafts.
Others include ghost walks, tea tasting, and street photography.
