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


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!



Hi Mr. Durjay!
Now, we're back from India. We've had a very nice trip and I thank you very much for all the amenities you've planed for us. Only two little things I have to tell you : - Your correspondent in Varanasi is not clear (but the driver is top !). For example, hi tells me to give to the porter in Varanasi train station, 100 INR; but the price is only 20 ! So, I ask me where the 80 are now ! - The driver in Kolkata does'nt speak english - not at all. He was just terrified to be alone with us and have to speak English. Luckily, your correspondent was really top! Don't worry for both. But it's better you know it ! And I thank you again.




Greetings from L.A.! I gave a verbal summary of comments to Sanjay on my last day in India. I hope it helps and I hope it wasn't overly critical. I also realized that I returned the wrong phone charger to you; I gave you the charger to my HongKong phone instead of the charger to the India phone you gave me. I subsequently lost my HK phone while going through security check from Delhi (I think some security guy took it out of my hand carry baggage without letting me know and then forgot to put it back and I didn't realize it was missing until I arrived in HongKong) so I don't need the charger anyway. I hope you're able to replace the charger for your India phone - my apologies for the confusion. I wanted to correct something I reported to Sanjay (I hope I got the name right, I couldn't find the card) just so so you have it right for the record. I complained about the guide in Jaipur but I subsequently remembered there were two guides in Jaipur. The one who took us to Amer Fort for the elephant ride was good. It was the other one who was supposed to take us to the Fatepur Sikri (the one with the mosque inside) who had a problem with getting permission to do the guiding. He apparently didn't have the proper license or something and had tremendous problems with getting entrance into Fatehpur Sikri because of the license issue. It was after much argument and altercation that they let him in. After he got in, he didn't have that much to say either. We ended up being toured inside the mosque by someone else on site. The agent/representative in Jaipur as well as Varanasi was hardly there. They both showed up only upon our arrival and neither went with us to the airport. All in all, as I had told Sanjay, it was a wonderful trip and I am most impressed with you and your staff including the driver, Sanjay and Raj. Hopefully the comments were helpful and we wish you every success in your business!





The trip went off with only minor hitches (as expected in India and not related to your arrangements) and the addition of Arvind as our guide proved to be an excellent bonus that resulted, in my opinion, in a much more enjoyable and relaxing trip for both myself and my mother. If you wish to include me on your list of people who are acting as references for future travelers, I would be more than happy to act as a reference.



The national parks were wonderful, great country, although most of the tourist's and the guides had 'Tiger fever'!!! Most visitors are only interested in seeing Tigers and don't seem to bothered with all the other wonderful wildlife (but for the record, we saw 11 Tigers!!) Khajuraho was lovely, very relaxed town with friendly people, the temples were beautiful and lovely to see. Agra was hectic and not really a good example of India or Indians, very touristy. Overall everyone was friendly and helpful, very welcoming people.



The selection of hotels was incredible, I've visited lots of resorts and hotels in many countries but the Udaivilas in Udaipur just really rocked. We really enjoyed the great service; food, spa and atmosphere, the surroundings and views were marvelous. Also the Rambagh Palace in Jaipur was excellent, we loved everything about it. Congratulations and keep on the good work, i will certainly recommend to any of our friends to contact Compass Tours when they will travel to India. Your attention to detail is 1st class. Very hard to find these days.



We both enjoyed ourselves very much and would have no hesitation recommending you to anyone. The choice of hotels and the locations we visited were exactly to our requirements. The contacts were always made and the Representatives of a very high caliber. We will no doubt return in the future. The highlights were the houseboats and the net fishermen on samudra beach.



Our drivers were all wonderful, knowledgeable and reliable; I would thoroughly recommend Compass sheerly because of the drivers! The itinerary was well thought-out and structured; we felt that it was excellent value for money. In summary, yes I would not hesitate to recommend Compass for travel in India.



A very professional team of staff and you all are to be commended for this. We all like to thank Naka, you Durjay and your other staff Varanasi, and Bombay. Yes we are already recommending our friends and family from Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand etc. We will definitely use you guys for all our future travels to India.



The Pushkar Fair was wonderful. We enjoyed the village safari at Jodhpur. We felt that the Village Theme Restaurant at Jaipur could have been left out, as we had seen most of what was on show earlier on our tour. Also, the meal provided at the Village was not a tasty delight at all. All in all, it was a wonderful holiday with enormous variety. We consider that it would have been difficult to improve on it. Our guide and driver, Bhawani and Rajesh were very attentive, constantly looking after our every need. We had great fun with them and they seemed to understand our sense of humour. We really enjoyed our days/evenings with them.



One of the things we really liked was that pricing and costs were very clear. When any Indian travel agency books a hotel, tour, etc. they generally get a discount of 10% or more. Durjay explained to us that he charges the price we would have gotten (undiscounted) but then adds in extras. For example, we had a day in Delhi with driver and guide at no cost. This was a nice change from some other agents we talked with that had a la carte pricing but you could never be sure exactly what the total would be.
