RAJASTHAN TOURISM INDIA

Commendations

........First of all, I would like to say that we are thoroughly happy with every aspect of our trip. Your team was always courteous, professional and on time. We really appreciate all their efforts, and cannot speak enough about how wonderful each and everyone treated us. ............


........Just a note to say a big thank you to you and the rest of the team for organising such a fantastic holiday. There was always someone to meet us, the guides were all excellent and very knowledgeable, the drivers were great (their standard of driving was very high) and all the hotels were very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends ............




..........Agra: Accommodation was o. k., also the guide for the monuments.
Fatehpur Sikri: There was a guide we had a lot of problems to understand his explanations because he spoke a heavy accent.
Bharatpur: Accommodation (Forest Lodge) was better than expected but the restaurant was basic.
Ranthambore: Accommodation (Regency) was o. k. and your local representative (Arvind) very helpful and friendly.........



..........The national parks were wonderful, great country, although most of the tourist's and the guides had 'Tiger fever'!!! Most visitors are only interested in seeing Tigers and don't seem to bothered with all the other wonderful wildlife (but for the record, we saw 11 Tigers!!) Khajuraho was lovely, very relaxed town with friendly people, the temples were beautiful and lovely to see. Agra was hectic and not really a good example of India or Indians, very touristy. Overall everyone was friendly and helpful, very welcoming people. ...........



................The selection of hotels was incredible, I've visited lots of resorts and hotels in many countries but the Udaivilas in Udaipur just really rocked. We really enjoyed the great service; food, spa and atmosphere, the surroundings and views were marvelous. Also the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur was excellent, we loved everything about it. Congratulations and keep on the good work, i will certainly recommend to any of our friends to contact Compass Tours when they will travel to India. Your attention to detail is 1st class. Very hard to find these days..........



........Our chauffeur was fantastic, we felt very comfortable in the car with him. He drove very safely and made sure that every time we were finished with a visit or dinner... he was there picking us up. We never had to wait for him or try to get his attention. We also appreciated Bhawani's help and service...........



........All the airport pick-ups and deliveries were made on time and the vans were in excellent condition. We especially appreciated your taking our luggage back to Delhi from Jodhpur. The hotels were very good, but two were spectacular...the Amar Villas and Devi Garh Palace. But I am sure you know that already. We will certainly recommend you to all our friends. Should you have any clients who would like a reference, or would like to contact us personally, please feel free to give them our email or phone 617 236 4801.Feel free to use this letter as an endorsement............



........Your staff was absolutely professional and we especially enjoyed being with Arvind and Sanjay who made out travel al that more enjoyable. The hotels were, for the most part marvelous, particularly, The Imperial, Amarvilas, Devi Gar, and Chatra Sagar. The Guides were excellent at the various cities and towns and the travel was well thought out............



........A very professional team of staff and you all are to be commended for this. We all like to thank Naka, you Durjay and your other staff Varanasi, and Bombay. Yes we are already recommending our friends and family from Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand etc. We will definitely use you guys for all our future travels to India...........



........Thank you also for the farewell dinner; it was great to see you again before we left for home. And finally, thanks for the cookery book. I've tried one or two recipes - I have to tell you that the top chef in India is safe in his job for the time being............



........One of the things we really liked was that pricing and costs were very clear. When any Indian travel agency books a hotel, tour, etc. they generally get a discount of 10% or more. Durjay explained to us that he charges the price we would have gotten (undiscounted) but then adds in extras. For example, we had a day in Delhi with driver and guide at no cost. This was a nice change from some other agents we talked with that had a la carte pricing but you could never be sure exactly what the total would be............


........The Pushkar Fair was wonderful. We enjoyed the village safari at Jodhpur. We felt that the Village Theme Restaurant at Jaipur could have been left out, as we had seen most of what was on show earlier on our tour. Also, the meal provided at the Village was not a tasty delight at all. All in all, it was a wonderful holiday with enormous variety. We consider that it would have been difficult to improve on it. Our guide and driver, Bhawani and Rajesh were very attentive, constantly looking after our every need. We had great fun with them and they seemed to understand our sense of humour. We really enjoyed our days/evenings with them............
