susanna_esplund@hotmail.com Hi Shweta! Now I'm home in old cold Sweden again with nothing but sweet memories of India. I really want to thank you for everything; you have done a terrific job with our trip! We are so great-ful and happy with the service that you and Compass India have given us. Everything has gone just smoothly and everyone has been so sweet to us. We just had a few thoughts as you might have seen in our feedback, but all in all we are SO VERY HAPPY with our trip. We will definitely use your company next time we are going to India (we already want to go back) and furthermore recommend Compass India to everybody we know. Once again: THANK YOU! Love from Susanna Esplund

dawn Taylor,dawn@taylorcotton.plus.com Dear Varsha Hope you had a happy Diwali.  It was a shame we missed you when we came into the office because we would have liked to say a big THANK YOU for all your help and for organising such a wonderful tour for us. The service was excellent and we will certainly recommend your company to any friends planning to visit India.  We would particularly like to praise the services of our main driver and his helper, known to us as Captain and Surinder.  Their competent, safe driving gave us confidence and a comfortable journey always.  The Tempo Traveller was a great success and ensured the children coped with the long journeys very well as there was room to more about and be comfortable.  We really enjoyed our last minute visit to Agra over Diwali – the Taj Mahal is truly majestic. We were very happy with most of the hotels.  The only exception was the Quality Inn HimDev which was noticeably below the standard of the other hotels and was disappointing.  Thank you again for your help. With our best wishes

Hilary Walker,hilarysarahwalker@hotmail.com Dear Varsha   This is an email to say a very big thank you for organising and taking us on a wonderful tour around Rajastan.    We are now back in Calangute Goa relaxing by the beach and enjoying the sunshine.  Our tour from start when we were met in Udaipur by your representative and driver with flower garlands, to finish in Jaipur visiting Amber Fort was first class. It all went smoothly with help from Compass representatives at each place we stopped at. All were extremely helpful and we were always made very welcome.    A special thanks must go to our driver David who took us for most of the tour. He was always very patient and courteous and nothing was too much trouble. He is a great guy! Our guides were wonderful in their knowledge and helpfulness - especially Ragu in Jodhpur who made our trip very interesting and is a credit to your company.    Our accommodation was excellent. We were delighted with our hotel position on the lake in Udaipur and the family were lovely. The room in Jodhpur hotel was total luxury and we felt like royalty staying there. Extra special to be in the middle of celebrations for Divali and to see all the fireworks from the rooftop. Jas Niwas in Jaipur was very welcoming after our travelling and very helpful to us when we arrived early in the morning. Again a beautiful  peaceful family home with lovely hosts.    Now we are back in Goa relaxing we have had time to reflect on our trip with you around Rajasthan and are truly delighted and cannot speak highly enough of the service your company provided us with. We look forward to planning and arranging future trips in India with your help and will recommend you without hesitation to any friends who also want to travel in this amazing country.   Thank you so much Varsha for all your personal help also.    Kind regards  Hilary Walker

Alberto Mosiello,amosiello@rtc.it Dear Varsha,  First of all, we would like to thank you for all your help. We really appreciate the professionalism of your company and the kindness of you and your staff.   We really enjoyed the tour and our driver/friend makes our visit in India very pleasant and comfortable. He is not only a very good driver, but also a good man and a good friend. The car was always in perfect condition and clean, he is an expert driver and very kind man. We often said him "you are a gentleman". I would be very grateful if you could send him our greetings and the attached pictures. Please note that we asked him to spent some hours with us at the beach.   Be sure that our entire friend will know about the quality of the Compass India service and we hope to visit again India.   Thank you very much Best regards         Alberto and Clelia

Keith Cockett ,Parklands, 825a Wilmslow Road, Didsbury, Manchester, M20 2RE Hi Durjay, My girlfriend and I just wanted to send you an email to thank you for organising the best holiday that we have ever had! We loved India and were fascinated by it's sights, sounds and history. I cannot fault the service we received from Compass, we were met at every stage and were very well looked after. I would particularly like to thank Sanjay, he was always polite and extremely helpful. Would you be able to tell me the name of our driver, he was superb! His driving was excellent and we looked forward to our journeys with him. The guides were also excellent and very informative, particularly the guide we had at Agra. The hotels were amazing and surpassed even our expectations. It really was the holiday of a lifetime and we are planning to return in the next couple of years.  Again thank you to you and all your staff!

Senahadi W,wirantana@hotmail.com Hello Shweta, How are you? I would like to give my feedback about the trip to India. First of all, I just realized that you are a lady …… sorry about this. This happened when we had chat during our journey and one of them just mentioned that you just got married too, Congratulation. Now about the trip: Started from Delhi’s airport until Bhairahawa’s airport in Nepal, the trip was really smooth and some parts were exciting too. How lucky I am to get such very good driver like Govind from Varanasi all the way to Nepal. I would give him an excellent score from the way he drove the car, the way he talked to everybody and the way he served us for almost 9 days passed thousands kilometers on both good and bad road. If one day I have chance to visit India for Buddhist pilgrimage again, I will choose him as my driver for sure. Also special thanks to Misra (Guide at BodhGaya) for his knowledge about Buddhist history and important places. I attached our picture with Govind at Nirvana hotel Lumbini before left for Kathmandu. Last but not least, I would like to thank to you for everything and good luck. Regards, Senahadi

Eqbal Kassam,eqbal.kassam@gmail.com Dear Durjay Thanks for the call last Tuesday.  We appreciate it.  It was nice of you to have inquired. Varsha did an excellent job.  Overall we were satisfied and the tour met our expectations.  It was hassle free.  Hopefully, we will be able to make another deal next year on a trip similar to my sister Arzina (first 10-12 days).  Arzina seems to be having a good time. Best Regards Eqbal Kassam

Rees-Oliviere, Lee,Lee.Rees-Oliviere@uk.tesco.com Dear Varsha,    I just wanted to drop you an email to say how impressed I was with the highly professional and organised way Compass tours conducted our  holiday. Everyone we met and who helped us was outstanding, including the very charming driver we had for the three days from Jaipur to Delhi.    The Hotels were also excellent with the 'lake Palace' and 'The Park' being the best.    All in all we had a wonderful time, and memories that will stay with us a lifetime.     Many thanks,    Lee Rees-Oliviere

Ghislaine Caulat Ghislaine.Caulat@ashridge.org.uk, UK Subject: Thank you! Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 08:17:29 +0100 Dear Durjay, We have now got back home and before work takes all my attention back again I would like, also in the name of my partner Francis, to thank you and your team for one of the most fascinating and wonderful trips that we have done so far.   India, or at least the north of it as we have seen it, is a wonderful country and discovering it has been for us in turn wonderful, upsetting, touching, overwhelming... It has definitely been an intense and stretching experience with good learning for us... You and your team have contributed to this experience.  The programme was excellent: it has enabled us to learn about the past of India as well as to get to know the India of today with its culture and its people at the same time.  The pace of the programme also worked very well for us. The guides that you have selected have all been nice and very professional people. We have particularly appreciated Aman in Varanasi (a passionate and kind person keen to convey so much about his country, a real wealth of knowledge with excellent pedagogical skills), Raghu (?) in Jodpur (a real fine man, very knowledgeable and handling his guests very well), Man Singh in Jaipur (very efficient, straightforward, always finding a good balance between the level of details to communicate and the number of things to show) and Netin in Delhi (very knowledgeable, personable and full of humour) .  Francis has also appreciated Satender (?) in Bikaner who did the tour in very good French! Most hotels that your team has selected for us have been excellent. Udaivillas was a real dream!  Deogarh was a pleasure, as was Devi Garh (a fantastic hotel).   Mandawa Castle was maybe less convincing (not as well taken care of as the Laxmi Niwas Palace in Bikaner fo example). The only real shadow though was the Rajwada Hotel in Jaisalmer, which we thought was very poor, a real shock after the wonderful Umaid Palace in Jodpur.  I gave some verbal feedback about the hotel to Wickram and also completed a feedback form for the hotel. They wanted us to sign the voucher at our arrival so I could not write any feedback on it.  We were grateful that your team accepted to give us a suite in the hotel (after I contacted them to inform about the situation), which made things a bit better... Still we were relieved when we left the place... A  less serious flaw was the selection of the last hotel (The Grand) in Delhi, which compared with the Taj Mahal and the Oberoi, was disappointing in terms of location (so close to the airport) as well as in terms of atmosphere...  While I understand the logic of putting us in a hotel close to the airport on the last day, we would have much more preferred to finish our trip on a nicer note, in a place like the Taj Mahal for example. We would not have minded to get up a bit earlier for the airport.... I would like to thank very much your agents in the different places.  We have very much appreciated Piyush's help in Varanasi when I got concerned about several mosquito bites that I got on one day: he has been highly responsive, caring and professional.  Also Raj Singh in Udaipur was very responsive and efficient when he organised for some clothes that I forgot in Deogarh to be delivered in Udaipur: thank you!   Thank you also to John in Agra and to Ajay in Jodpur for taking the time to come to the hotel and welcome us: a kind gesture.  Obviously thank you also to Wickram for his friendly and professional services. Last but not least I wanted to thank the drivers: Ram in Varanasi was a very good and pleasant driver who showed us very interesting aspects of the Indian day-to-day life on the second day: we have appreciated this a lot.   In particular we would also like to thank Narendra, our "long distance" driver. He has been an excellent driver. He was discrete while at the same time very attentive to our needs. A very kind man who has been a very good company for us! In terms of the trip as a whole, as mentioned before, we are very satisfied with all destinations that you put on the programme  although, in retrospect, we think that we could have skipped Jaisalmer, not only because of the hotel but also because we found the place too full of tourists, with no particular soul in spite of being the oldest fort in the world... but of course we can only say this in retrospect and we fully understand why you put it on the programme. I hope that you will find this feedback helpful.  We are offering it as a sign of gratitude and respect for your very good work.  We will keep excellent memories of our trip.  We will certainly recommend you to our friends and families and, should we consider to visit India again in the future, we will come back to Compass Tours. It was also nice to meet you personally and to see the offices and the people behind the email address that I had contacted.... We wish you and your team all the very best for the future. With kind regards Ghislaine & Francis UK

Franz Mairinger,franz.mairinger@chello.at Dear Sir, Now we are nearly one week at home and I would like to say: Thank you very much for organising our tour through Rajasthan.We liked the Heritage Hotels you have chosen for us. Sometimes they were just great, sometimes there was not the expected level (Pushkar and Mount Abu). Deogarh is for elder people exhausting, because to go to the restaurant we had to climb 153 steps!Our driver Kuldeep and his help Balseet were excellent, very cautious and no minute we were afraid of his driving, even there was much traffic and two-way traffic. Mr. Surinder Malik was a good guide and took care of us. In every situation, he helped us. whether we need in restaurants to chose menus or buying medicaments. We will not forget our guides we had in Fathepur Sikri, Jaipur, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer. They all know the history of their monuments and we learnt many things. We can warmly recommend all persons, who “took care of us” and who gave us also the feeling being a welcomed guest. Of course we will recommend you and so I’m sure that some friends of us will also organise their India tour with your Travel Agency. Thank you Mr. Durjay Sen Gupta and thank you Mr. Pury. With our best regards and good memories of Rajasthan Yours Franz, Rita, Severin and Teresa Mairinger Germany
