 We all enjoyed the trip very much and wish to thank you for the wonderful  organization and thought that went into our travel arrangements. We are  all still talking about the trip.

 Our driver from Agra to Udaipur was great and made us feel as safe as  possible on wild Indian highways and crazy city streets.  He was always  smiling, his pants and shirt always pressed and he was available for us i  on occasion we wanted to go out in the evening.  Even after he drove an  entire day the few times we went out in the evening the driver seemed  happy to take us into town, etc.

 We were equally impressed with the quality of the guides.  We all learned  a lot from them.  One very minor issue, we did not especially like being  taken to "tourist" type shops by the guides as part of the tours.  In all  the guides without exception made out touring very enjoyable and a great  learning experience.  In some cases at the end of the day we almost said  take us back to the hotel, "not another temple", but when we arrived at  that last temple or site, it was always WOW we were happy we went!  The  lunch and dinners selected by you were a nice touch.  The camel ride and
 dinner FUN!

 The hotels were (except as noted) all special.  We will always remember  the Amervillas in Agra. The Laigarh Palace and the Jaj Lake Palace.  Nothing equals the service and class of the Oberi hotel chain.  We were  not really impressed with the Taj Hari Mahel, it was average compared to  the other hotels. The one and only problem with hotels was the Grand in
 Delhi.  When we checked in they provided us with a room where the A/C was  broken (it was about 30C in the room!).  The staff knew the A/C did not't  work as the porter informed us it was warm in the room when he brought the  bags.  When my wife called down to the front desk they advised they would  send a repairman.  When she asked for a new room the front desk simply  hung the phone up.  My wife had to go to the front desk and demand a new  room.  They simply did not want to move us.  The room the finally provided  us with was a very small single room. It took about an hour to move rooms  and luggage.  Given we were only in the room for a few hours it did not  really matter as to the size.   You should demand a refund of any money  paid to this hotel and if you get it please donate it to a local charity.

 In summary we were impressed at the quality of your services.  Your  organization made a good trip GREAT.  We were well taken care of from our  arrival in Delhi until we walked into the airport in Delhi for a flight  back to Toronto.  The only safety related issue was our train trip (I have  great pictures of the window if you ever wish to see it!)

 If you ever wish to refer a prospective client for a recommendation on  your travel services please do so.

 Regards and once again THANK YOU
