Dear Rajiv, I wanted to let you know that the tour of India you organised for us at late notice was beyond fantastic.  We did not expect a one to one personal service.  Our driver, Rishi, was amazing. Do you have a feedback forum where we can leave a recommendation for your company? We will be contacting you when we are ready to go to Cambodia. Best Regards Jay Walton

I would like to thank you for arranging our recent trip to southern India. The whole experience was amazing. The organisation was superb throughout with very different but equally good hotels and guides. The driver,Anbu was excellent and made us feel very safe and secure which is very important when 2 women are travelling together over long distances.

We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our trip to India. From our first conversation with you until our return home.The hotel, Palace on Wheels train,and sites were exceptional. The service and warm heart of the Indian people_______________was SUPER. The special attention that we received from our guide Girish and our driver Rishi was exceptional. They deserve a raise. I left my carry on suit case at the train and they were more upset than I was (if that was possible because we had al…
