Subject: Guide during tour
Durjay:
I trust this finds you well.
I was going thru' my pending file and came across an item that I wanted
to bring to your attention on returning to the US.
The guide for Delhi assigned to us on the Compass paperwork was Sudeep
but when we got to Delhi, we were told that we would be assigned to a
different guide. No big deal. Our guide in Delhi was a Sikh gentleman,
Rajinder (don't have his last name).
Unfortunately, Rajinder was not the kind of guide we were used to by
then, with Compass. For one thing, he asked us to give him money for his
entrance fee to the monuments. It was my understanding that we were not
responsible for the entrance fee of the guides. But I did not want to
belabor the point with Rajinder, so I went ahead and gave him the money.
Rajinder also asked my husband for money saying that he would give us the
money back later in the evening. Needless to say, we did not get the
money back.
You can check the veracity of this information with Rajinder. His cell
phone number is 09891478919. He should have known better than to get
money from us in this fashion. We averaged tips of Rs. 400-500 per day to
our tour guides and went ahead and gave him a good tip as well since we
did not want to be cheap towards our guide.
I thought you may want to have this information as Rajinder may swindle
other clients as well and give Compass and Indians in general a bad
reputation.
