Ian &
Dianne Michelson,
Apsley Ontario, Canada.
Dear Raju
My sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
We arrived home from India with only one day to pack and put
things away
prior to our yearly winter trip to Florida..We had to visit
our families
prior to leaving for Florida.
We left for Florida and after arriving here discovered that
our motor home
had to go for repairs. We were living out of a ?suitcase?for
the last
week with no access to a computer.
We have been in Florida for a week now - moved back into our
motor home
yesterday and now have computer access.
We had an absolutely FANTASTIC time in India .
We often reflect on our experiences and the wonderful times
and many laughs
we had. India is a very difficult country to explain. So poor
at times yet
so rich in culture and day to day living .
I often think about - what you said in that we could expect
?some
breakdowns? and not everything would go smoothly.
You certainly were wrong - we did not have one mistake /
problem. Everything
went smoothly !!! Obviously - the hard work from you and your
team certainly
paid off !!!
I know how much work went on behind the scenes.
Our guide VJ was a pleasure - Very easy to get along with - he
was very
knowledgeable , and certainly had our safety and comfort as
his foremost
concern.
VJ was the calm in a very hectic country.
I can only STRONGLY recommend that any client coming to India
- should be
told to have a guide for ______ cost - included in your
initial quote.
Having the guide saved so much TIME & ENERGY in daily
decisions
Where are we going
Getting into museums/palaces
Shopping
Eating/ restaurants
I cannot imagine the trip with out his expertise - guidance
and explanation
of daily activities that we saw that were so foreign to us but
very common
to the India Nationals . ( the explanation of Hindu temple /
the sandals
that we saw on the side of the road / the pilgrims that we saw
) We would
not have had the understanding or appreciation of so many
sites that we saw
with out the guidance of VJ .
Our driver Ashu - just a treat !!! Always well dressed and
mannered. He
truly was an EXCELLENT driver - You certainly don't want to
loose him.
We often talked at the end of each day and marveled at Ashu's
driving
ability. the traffic is so bizarre and ?Wild ?- but he just
took it all in
stride.
The Hotels that we stayed in were GREAT -
If I were to rate them
The Samode Havellie/ Khem Villas were the BEST
I preferred the Amber versus Place Heights in New Delhi (
Amber was not
licensed ( very slow in the restaurant ) but the rooms were
fantastic.
Of all of the Hotels - Master Paradise was probably the bottom
of the list
-
The staff were just not as friendly as the other Hotels and we
just did not
get the same feeling as the other Hotels. It was clean, and we
never did get
the chance te eat in the Hotel so I can't say about the
restaurant.
The only change to the itinerary - would have been to add
another day at
Khem Villas and reduce the time in Varanassi .
We could have done the evening boat ride in the afternoon of
our arrival and
the early morning ride the next day and then we could have
gone to the
train station that afternoon for the overnight train.
I would like to Thank You again for the two lovely nights that
we had with
you . It was certainly a treat and not necessary and we all
enjoyed it
enormously.
I know that everyone enjoyed meeting you and talking to you
about your
company - the creation of it as well as your future plans .
I have included the Names , email addresses , phone numbers
and address for
everyone on the trip.
I would not hesitate in giving a reference for you for any of
your potential
clients.
I could say the same for all of our friends .
