Dear Sandhya,
we are now back at home after a wonderful trip through India. We like to
say thank you for the excellently organized trip from your side. All the
hotels have met our expectations and some exceeded them. Only in Agra
(Mughal Sheraton) we had a little problem. We were told by your colleague to
be invited to the Sylvester gala dinner (was even printed on the hotel
voucher). As they were booked out, we had to take dinner in our room
by our own charge. The hotel itself was brilliant.
Your representatives in the different cities have all been very authentic,
nice and cooperatively. Even the drivers have been very kindly and we felt
safety during the tour.
Altogether we enjoyed the perfect trip to your country. We will recommend
your company to our friends.
Thanks and best regards
Anita, Clemens & Gerhard
PS. We are planning to go to the Maldives next year. Could you also offer
resorts there (especially Taj Resort)

Dear Atul,
We returned without difficulty to Hungary. First of all I would like
to thank you and all collegaues for the
well organized tour. We
visited all places what we wanted. Your country is wonderful and very rich
in seeing. The representatives of your office were in time always.
They were very heplful and kind. The drivers were the same. The cars are
very cleaned , in good condition. About the hotels: Delhi - it is
convenient, Varanasi - there wasn't hot water and the electric network is
dangerous to life ( there wasn't light beside the bed and we would have
liked to move the standing light to the bed, the plug came out from
the wall , all lights turned off, it was dark in the room), Khajuraho -
excellent!!!!, Agra - it is convenient, Corbett - very simple. The staff is
very polite everywhere. Guides: Varanasi - good, helpful, his knowledge is
OK, Khajuraho - good, qualified, Agra - EXCELLENT !!!!!!! ( he was the top!
he spoke about the history of India and about Tadj during 3 hours !!!!
) Corbett - the safari driver was EXCELLENT !!! the guide was very good!!
Delhi - this old man doesn't speak English fluently, that's why he could
tell only the visible , knowned, simple things without any special
(.... see Agra!!! ).He didn't want to show us the Red Fort from inside
but I explaned him that we would like to enter in anyway. He was the best in
the hindu temple, it seemed to me that it belongs to his life , he knows the
most about it. Luckily we visited all sites what was planed by you. There
wasn't any problem during our stay ( except the departure to Corbett but the
arrival time wasn't important ) . We saw a lot and enjoyed the
tour.
Thank you again!!

Ashu,
Just a quick note to tell you we had a wonderful time in India.
All of the accommodation you arranged for us was better than we had hoped,
particularly the Hotel Gajner Palace which was superb. All of the guides
were informative and helpful. Your itinerary was spot on - thankyou very
much.
We especially want to mention Rakesh our driver. He was not only a good
driver and good company, he also assisted us above and beyond when our
youngest daughter got sick. We really appreciated his help and would
recommend him to any other visitors who may be touring India in the future.
Once again thankyou for all your assistance. We will certainly recommend
Trans india Holidays to our friends.

Dear Kapil,
You are marvelous!
Cam and I had a fabulous time, and the organisation was FLAWLESS.
The hotels, palaces, forts and B&Bs were terrific, with very friendly
staff.
The guides were all extremely helpful and flexible. The one in Jaipur even
managed to get us into a local Polo match – so that was wonderful.
It didn’t matter if our train was meant to arrive at 7am, and was
delayed until 2pm. We were still met at every airport, train station or new
city by your agents.
Our India trip was so EASY. Everything was so well organised.
We also ate really well, and Cam gained about 5 kilos. We were 100% healthy
the entire trip.
But of everything, our driver Ram Singh was just fantastic. He was so
helpful and great company. He helped us when we went to local schools,
temples and places such as the cattle fair in Naguur by showing us extra
places and translating. His English was certainly more than adequate. He was
always keen to make little side trips and was totally lovely.
Thank you for all your help and assistance. Great advice, which meant we
had a great trip.
Cheers, Cheers and Cheers to you and all your team.

Dear Ashu:
Sandra and I would like to thank you for organizing our 32 day India travel
program that finished last week. Everything (apart from the early morning
driver at Amritsar) went according to plan and we will remember the sights,
sounds and smells of India for a long time to come. The drivers and guides
were unfailingly helpful and the hotels arranged for us provided, in many
cases, a great back-drop to the history and beauty of the country.
Should you need us to recommend your company's services to any future
prospective clients please don't hesitate to contact us, we would be only
too willing to tell others of the high level of service we experienced
working with Trans-India Holidays.

At last I have a few moments to reply to you.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed receiving your bouquet of flower .It was
our pleasure to send as we have appreciated all your hard work in arranging
the trip for us.
The first week travelling through Delhi, Agra, Jaipur was just fantastic,
quality of hotels excellent, our driver superb, we felt quite safe in his
hands, he would stop for comfort breaks etc and was most considerate. We
loved to see the ordinary people go about their daily lives, the cattle on
the roads, the rich agriculture, the brick fields etc etc.
Our guide in Agra was excellent – knowledgeable, and his
professionalism were outstanding. The one in Delhi did like using his own
phone a lot and did receive a lot of calls during the day – which I do
think is a little unprofessional, but his knowledge was good. Jaipur his
knowledge was good and was very topical in conversation which was most
interesting again English and knowledge very good. Overall we were very
pleased.
All flights were good.
Our stay in S Goa, was most relaxing it’s a shame we couldn’t get
the Taj Exotica but understand that the Cricket team were booked there. None
the less we enjoyed the peace and quiet, the amenities that the resort
offered were excellent. The White Sands was a slight let down , certainly in
food but we had been staying in 5 star which were top notch.
In hind sight the only alteration I would have made, was to come back to
Mumbia a day early so that we could have had a days sight seeing in the City
and also this would have meant that we would not have had a 5am start. But
you can always be wiser after the event.
We have thoroughly recommend Trans India Holidays. As you appreciate when
travelling you meet a lot of people and they want to know how you have got
on.
We have wonderful memories, India is certainly a growing country I hope
that the infrastructure of the Europeans, money, will not spoil the
simplicity of these very genuine people and a lovely countryside.
Kind regards,
Take Care

Hello, Ashu
Now we are back from our unforgettable trip to India and Nepal.
We want to thank you and your associate tour operators in the places we
visited for making our stay a truly extraordinary experience. Everything was
so well planned that all our needs were anticipated and taken care of. The
hotels were perfect, to say it in one word. In Mumbai, we moved into the
palace wing of the Taj Mahal hotel so as to have the same level of room
comfort and amenities we had enjoyed at the other hotels.
From the welcome at Delhi Airport to the farewell in Mumbai, it was all
great !
If we have to rate TransIndia Holidays for its service, we'll give it an A
+.
Thank you !

Dear Ashu
Now that we have returned to London after the independently-organised South
Indian part of our trip, I am writing to say a big "thank you" to
you and everybody else at Trans India who put together our first ten days in
Northern India. All your arrangements worked very well, and as a result we
had a fantastic time. We saw some really beautiful things - architecture,
culture, craftsmanship and wildlife - and have come back loaded down with
thousands of wonderful memories, hundreds of photographs, and dozens of
souvenirs. It has all added up to a truly memorable experience.
I should stress that we were very pleased with ALL your arrangements, and
with ALL the staff who met and helped us along the way, but if we were
handing out awards, I would have to say that we particularly appreciated:
the services of our wonderful driver, Mr Himmat Singh, for almost the whole
trip
the attention of your representative, Assad, in Ranthambore - in spite of
his being injured in a traffic accident while we were there
the architecture, the facilities and the view at the Mughal Sheraton hotel
in Agra
the knowledge and humour of the guide you found for us in Jaipur, whose
name I am afraid I have mislaid.
Thank you again for making this holiday possible for us. We shall certainly
be recommending Trans India to any of our friends who are planning a visit
to your extraordinary country.
With best wishes from my husband, Roger, my daughter, Sophie, and myself

Good morning Ashu,
I am now safely back home and reviewing the photographs from my trip...and
what a trip it was. Ashu, it far exceeded my expectations at so many levels.
First of all, thank you. Thank you for your patience and tenacity and
ensuring all of our requests were reviewed, and finally met. I think aside
from a couple of the meet and greet people, all the transfers went very
smoothly vis a vis airport arrivals and departures. Same goes for the hotel
meet and greet people...except for Varanasi, everything went according to
plan.
As a follow up, I have a couple of comments.
1. The driver of any vehicle should always keep on hand several bottles of
water. This is especially important for the long drives.
2. The detailed Final Itinerary -- there should be a copy for each client,
not just one per couple. In fact, could you email me the final version since
the fellow in Varanasi kept mine and I don't have it any longer and it is
important for historical value to me.
3. Varanasi -- never, never, put any guest in a Superior room when one asks
for a deluxe room. I was shocked and horrified with the quaity of the Taj
Ganges. Not having seen the upper two floors which clearly looked better
from the halls, the other floors were a disaster.
Ashu, again thank you. I would appreciate receiving a copy of the final
itinerary that was changed from the earlier version.
All the best,
Angela

Dear Ashu and colleagues,
Just wanted to write a BIG thank you!
Our trip through India from North to South was amazing...
We were met by all representatives on time and our drivers and guides were
brilliant, all very knowledgable and friendly.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in all chosen and recommended hotels
especially Shiv Nivas, Coconut Lagoon and Brunton Boatyard.
We ate the most wonderful food in hotels and restaurants, I recommend
Bukarra at the Maurya Sheraton in Delhi!
I want to thank you again for helping me organise the trip and coordinating
flights, times, hotels, drivers etc so that everything went like clockwork.
We never had to worry about a thing... And everyone was courteous and
helpful, especially when I left my passport in Udaipur on the plane to
Mumbai!
We were already talking about our next holiday back to India to discover
the East coast and more of the North and South!

Dear Ashu,
I wanted to send a quick note to thank you and your colleagues at Trans
India Holidays for making our holiday in India so trouble free and
enjoyable. We were impressed by the efficient and professional handling of
the programme by your team and your representatives. We were met on time at
the promised times by courteous and helpful staff, and we found every tour
guide friendly and knowlegeable. In particular, we appreciate the courtesy,
helpfulness and safe driving of both DC for the Golden Triangle sector and
JB for the Kerala sector of the holiday. It took a while to get used to the
roads in India, but we always felt safe with these two drivers at the
wheels.
We had a fantastic time in India, a place truly of wonderful experiences
and contrasts. There are many highlights for us - the Taj Mahal, the palaces
and forts of Rajasthan, the wildlife at Periyar and Kumarakom, the riceboat
ride at Coconut Lagoon, the excellent food, the super hotels, the local
crafts.......
Only one item was not as expected. We thought we arranged a whole day on
the riceboat (your document said 10am - 6pm with all meals). In spite of
promises made at the hotel and effort on my part, we were made to wait until
11.30am to get on board and were given only lunch on board.
Having said that, the day out on the lake and backwaters was a wonderfully
fulfilling and relaxing experience. The boat crew could not have done more
to make us comfortable and the lunch was a feast of culinary delights! many
thanks to Joseph the cook.
Marilyn and I have placed India at the top of our list for a holiday next
year - probably January, when we celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
best regards

5th of February, this year, our stay in India was one of great enjoyment.
Your organising of staff to greet us, telephone us at each city we visited
to see if we were alright, to arrange our guides for the tours was
outstanding. the driver of our car, Murli Dhar had an excellent knowledge of
the cities we visited and his driving, was superb. His command of the
English was not the best but we were able to communicate with him fairly
well. There was one incident, we did not understand. Our guide to the Agra
Fort on the 10th of February, seemed not to be the one that your company had
arranged and had we not been intercepted by your company representatives as
we left the fort, we could have been embarrassed, thanks again. Your giudes
were all of high standard. The staff at each of the hotels were very

Hi Sandyha,
Thanks for another great holiday - everything worked smoothly and much was
beyond our expectation (as it was last time).
We especially appreciated the car seatbelts from Chennai to Cochin. We did
miss them elsewhere.
Our drivers were all very good - careful.
The Taj, Park and Trident Hotels were magnificent. For location, the Taj at
Thekkady, the De la Orient at Pondicherry and the Ambassador at Mumbai were
much appreciated for their easy access to the town (city). Coconut Lagoon
and the Houseboat were just great for a short break.
Thank you too, Sandyha for your recomended visit time. We had no
inconvenience from the rain or from crowds of tourists.
The contrast of the south with Rajastan and the Golden Triangle added depth
to the experience. Dravidians vs Aryans, temples vs forts, green versus
deserts.
Mumbai was a big surprise. We found it a very easy place, more so than
Chennai.
Thanks again Sandyha.
What do you recomend for next time?
