Dear Durjay,

What a wonderful holiday. It was nice to meet you and thank you from Kath and myself for our presents which were very generous. You have obviously got excellent staff working for you, there was not one time that we were not welcomed, on time and graciously throughout the whole of our journey. You obviously have an excellent organization in place.

Repeating what Eifion has said with regard to the Goa meals. Please be honest and tell us if we have spent over the allowance because we are totally content with the value for money we have received and would be only too pleased to pay an additional supplement should it be necessary.

Please be happy to use our name and my email address should other British people wish to look for a recommendation to your Company. We will obviously be telling our friends and relatives anyway but you will have a much larger clientele than we would be speaking to.

Once more, thank you very much indeed, we felt totally relaxed as we knew we were in safe hands throughout the whole of our journey and adventure around India.

Dear Shweta,

Compass Tours made our trip to India the best that it could be. Out of the six of us that were traveling, none of us had previously visited your country and Compass took care of us from the moment we arrived until we
left. It gave us a special look into the caring personality of the Indian people.

Before we even left on the trip, we felt great. Shweta, you worked with us everyday until we narrowed down a perfect itinerary. We loved being able to have a say on what type of accommodations we would be in as well
as what type of vehicle we'd be transported in. It worked very well.

The guides that you contracted with in Bikaner, Jaisalmer, and Jodhpurwere some of the best I've ever met. Not only were they hospitable and knowledgeable about their areas, but they took it one step further and invited us to view some of the culture first hand. In Bikaner, Bihwanas invited us to his house for dinner and we met his family. In Jaisalmer, we were also invited to Jintendra's mother's house for tea, and in Jodhpur, the guide took us to a friend's wedding. On top of that, each guide was so open about their lives, which are completely different than our American lives. They talked to us about their religion, their caste, their marriages, and much, much more.

I recommend that anyone who visits India should use Compass to arrange their trip. The best thing about it is, that I as the customer, made all the decisions, and Compass did all the hard work!

Thank you so much for such a rich and rewarding experience! I cannot wait until I have the opportunity to go to India again!

Dear Shweta,

We returned from India over two months ago. I intended to mail this to you soon after returning but we were very exhausted after our trip and had to return to work immediately on the 10th of Jan. In addition we suffered jet lag for almost two weeks.

This note is to say that we enjoyed our trip extremely. All the arrangements our of highest order and so were the hotels, including the Clarks at Agra and Jaipur. The best hotel of course was Umaid Bhawan in Jodhpur. We had slight problem and delay in checking in to the Clarks in Agra where they first said that they could not give us the rooms adjacent to each other but eventually they did. All the guides were good and gave us appropriate advice at most places. We had a tiny sour note in Jaisalmer. The person who took us for the camel rides to the sand dunes charged us Rs. 1200 for four of us (two camels) instead of Rs 500 to 600. We came to know about this later on from the hotel reception. It is really not the amount of money which matters but the fact that we felt cheated. I told the guide about this later on.

Apart from these two minor problems things were fine. Our special thanks to Mr. Mansingh, the driver who looked after us well. Pl convey our regards to him.

Last but not least I want to express a special thanks and commendation for your hard work, prompt replies, attention to details and patience in arranging our trip. We changed our itinerary a few times (not intentionally) and still you were very helpful. Please feel free to pass this on to your managers.

Dear D.J,

....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.

I do, however, have a couple of recommendations that might be helpful to you with future clients from the U.S. or Europe:

1) If at all possible, have the clients fly or take the train (a true experience!) to various cities. As wonderful as our drivers were, the roads, even the good ones, are quite stressful for clients from other countries. I really found I could not relax at all while we were on the road. I believe that short drives (2 hours or less) would give a client a taste of the system, but not tax their system!!

2) Also, in regards to flying, I would also recommend, if possible, taking the evening flight instead of the early morning, and I do mean early!! Most ,not all, but most travellers are on vacation and would rather enjoy the full day in a destination and then fly at night to another destination where they can sleep in a bit the next day. I know that was one thing we would have changed in our itinerary.

Overall, again, we are forever grateful for all you have done to make our trip to India a complete Success! We saw amazing parts of your country and were treated superbly. We will most definitely recommend your services to any of
our friends who visit India in the future.

Thank you, and continued success.

Hello Mrs Gupta ,

We have managed to take the 17th flight for Paris. We have arrived at home safely. We thank you again for making our tour comfortable and well organised. We appreciated the whole staff of Compass : drivers , guides , local agents. Everybody was very professionnal. The extension of the tour towards Haridwar and Rishikesh was profitable. Maybe for the Delhi-Haridwar train , we should have taken another ticket for Jessica , our daughter. But it was OK. We only missed Fatehpur Sikri due to a problem on the road which was closed , but that's not a big deal. We enjoyed the different hotels.

Best and warm regards.

Dear D.J,

Compass has set a new standard in the travel industry. You have distinguished yourself from your competitors as being the leader in PERSONAL SERVICE.

In our view, Compass is an exceptional value; attractive packages that are palatable to the discerning travelers' tastes and financially digestible to the cost-conscious.
