Dear Shweta,

I have now been back in Australia for 4 weeks.

Want to take the opportunity to thank you for your help in planning a wonderful holiday in India.

There were many highlights.

Compass looked after us very well in all stops. The accommodation you chose was excellent…especially City Palace Udaipur…amazing!
 
The activities were well chosen by you and well paced the car was SO clean and comfortable, and the driver outstanding...he deserves a special mention

I will certainly recommend your company to others in Australia as I consider the deal you put together afforded us a higher level of service and style than would have been available in the alternatives that I had researched via local companies.

Well done and thanks so much, Will be happy to act as a referee if someone else who stumbles over you on the internet requires reassurance in terms of your service offerings.

Dear Varsha,

We have now returned from our Rajasthan tour and must  thank you and Compass for the excellent organisation that we encountered. In each a city a company representative met us and the guides in all cities were fabulous. The drivers were both friendly,  courteous and more importantly, safe! The hotels were excellent althought the Taj View in Agra did not quite meet up with its sister hotels standards and service.  I will pass on yours and the Compass's details to our corporate travel section for inclusion in their  database and will happily recommend you to my friends and fellow travellers.    Looking forward to returning to India! (Maybe Kerala?)

Kind regards

Jagdish,

Dear Durjay,

We all arrived back home safe and well, but tired. We enjoyed our trip.

The North Tour was exceptional and although hectic, we managed to visit most of the places we had earmarked.

The hotels were all excellent and so was the driver and his assistant.

We would have loved to spend an extra day both at Jaipur and Haridwar.

May I just make one observation regarding the charity collectors at haridwar. For tourist's sake the authorities in charge at the ghat should limit the number of organisations collecting for charity. Maybe this will be good for tourism and as you are very much involved in the industry you may wish raise this matter with the appropriate authorities. Also there are too many priests touting for business. It appears that they want you to perform a pooja ceremony either out of guilt or fear!!!

We arrived safely in Mumbai on Xmas day. It appears Air India did not ring you regarding the alteration of our flight number and time.

The South Tour was just as memorable, but I must confess that Tulip Star was a big disappointment. The room facilities were abominable. They will only give us one towel for the double room, no hand towels etc. We had to request for these amenities on a daily basis, if not once but twice to the duty managers, before they would accede to our request. They also did not offer sea facing rooms, but after complaining they allocated one room, and another the next day, but as we were settled some of my party did not want to change. Anyway I was responsible for changing from Sun and Sand to Tulip Star!

Goa and Bangalore was relaxing. Although I personally still prefer to spend more time in Mumbai (but not at Tulip Star). The guide and drivers were all very helpful.

However the family did some useful shopping in Mysore and Bangalore.

I will have no hesitation in recommending Compass to my friends and family here in Sydney if they wish to use the services of a tour operator.

We ourselves are planning to return in two years time, provided our health is OK.

Regards to you and to your staff

Hi Durjay,

Well it has taken four weeks, just to get home and get back to work and all those mundane things that you have to cope with after a bit of time away.

Well to start off, Thank you for a wonderful holiday, everything you said would happen did, all our planning (mostly yours)

went off wonderfully and you made our trip one of a lifetime!!!

The accommodation was excellent, drivers were well informed and accommodating to our needs and transfers were all arranged all with a minimum of fuss to us. A special thanks must be given to "BOB", our driver for 17 days. He was so helpful and friendly, while being very professional in all his dealing. Nothing was any trouble to him in the way of helping us out, so if you could pass that on to him it would be very much appreciated.

I feel that by taking your advice on the places to visit and time needed in each location we used our allotted month very wisely, thus without your help I am sure we would have muddled around for the month missing so many things. It is without a doubt to best way to go to still be able to travel independently, but all the little things organized. In saying that I would like you to know that it is especially noted that all those little things that you had covered really made the difference in my trip, actually it is without a doubt the best organized trip I have ever been on.

So Dujay, thank you so much for all the planning, and putting together  a great trip of India for us and if ever anyone would like to contact me in regards to a trip they are planning with you I would be more than happy to relay to them of the wonderful time you gave to us in our country, and I can not recommend you enough to any person interested in travelling in India.

Thank you once again and if I can be of any service to you it would be a pleasure.

Kind regards

Greetings,

Well we have been back in Australia for 3 weeks now and thoughts of our tour of Rajasthan are still strong in our memory. We had a wonderful time and our experiences in those two weeks will live with us forever.

We have sent you a few photos of our trip, we have around 200 photos and will probably send you some more later.

Could you please say hello to our driver Kishen Singh (Rajphut) and forward him the photo of us with him if you can. Has the war had an effect on tourism in India? We hope not!!!!. Tonight Australia play India in the final of the world cup. May the best team win and good luck to India.

Kind regards
