Dear Janet,
I can’t believe we have been back two weeks. Our computers have been down so I have been unable to email and let you know how it went as I promised I would.
In a word – It was INCREDIBLE – Incredible India.
To break it down - The Taj Express – Was an excellent choice for a taste of India.
Satendra was a superb guide. He was very organized but always seemed so relaxed and yet managed to hold everything together. His knowledge was excellent and he always gave very clear, accurate information at every point. Amrik, who got us back to Delhi when Satandra continued on with the smaller group, was also an excellent guide, especially being so young. The hotels were amazing. Whoever chose the hotels did a superb job, everyone so different, yet all very typical of India. In fact when we came to the last hotel I didn’t think we could have bettered the previous ones but we did. I said to Satendra ‘He just kept pulling rabbits out of the hats’ they were so good.
The group as you know were all a lot younger than Bob and I and quite a few of those who had travelled with ‘On The Go’ before and some had other tours booked with you. Everyone had the same opinion as us, that it is a very well run company and they would certainly do other tours with you should the occasion arise. We had absolutely no complaints and heard no complaints from anyone else either. Train travel in India is fantastic – everything runs on time and thanks to your organization we were very well looked after getting on and off at every point.
We enjoyed Amritsar and again our guide was very good. The hotel you chose for us here was Bob’s favourite, the Owners were such gentle spiritual people – perfect place to relax. We were then picked up at Ambala and driven to Shimla for the next eight days for which we didn’t have a guide but again we did not have to worry about a thing. Each person gave very clear instructions for the following part of our trip and at all times we were picked up on time by a friendly and courteous guide. The hotels in Shimla had been a dream of mine for many years and they did not disappoint. We spent the time here relaxing, walking and generally enjoying the natural beauty.
Back to Delhi where the Raddison at Noida was again an excellent choice – close to large shopping centers and also the convention we went to was easily accessed. India was an experience we will never forget. Thank you for all of your work in making the whole trip the success that it was, in fact Bob and I think it was one of the best holidays we have ever had.
