<p>Hi Tordes,<br /> <br /> India is an extraordinary destination. Though my wife and I have travelled to many other parts of the world, India provided something of interest and wonder every day we were there.<br /> <br /> We&#39;re also pleased that we could concentrate on sightseeing. The travel arrangements Indus had made worked almost flawlessly. All the representatives were knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating. Though we had trouble understanding a few guides, we still had good tours at every stop. The hotels were at least the standard we expected, and some, like the Jaypee Palace in Agra, were pleasant surprises.<br /> Thank you especially for the arrangements at the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary and the Kohinoor Hotel in Mumbai. The naturalist guide and the extra bedroom made an enormous difference.<br /> <br /> I will certainly recommend Indus Travel to friends who envy our trip to India, and I would use Indus again for a return trip.<br /> <br /> Thanks so much for your help in planning the itinerary and for giving us happy memories of travel.<br /> <br /> Regards,</p> ...more ...less

<p>Elizabeth,<br /> Thank you for your email. We are just now finally getting over the jet lag.<br /> <br /> India was in a word, wonderful. This has been a memorable experience for myself, wife and other travelling companions. We will be recommending you for all travel to India. The trip could not have been better. Everything fell into place. The boats at the Bird Sanctuary were initiating their boating the day we arrived. The elephants at Jaipur Amber Fort, were just recently no longer "agitated" and had been regulated to a shorter working day, allowing us the experience of the elephant ride.<br /> <br /> Thank you again for your efforts. We could not have been happier. We look forward to perhaps returning to India in the next year or so to take in the southern part of the country.<br /> <br /> Thank you again.</p> ...more ...less

<p>Hi Praveen,<br /> Thank you for the wonderfully organised tour of Rajasthan. We enjoyed the experience very much and felt that the program ran smoothly, and in fact exceeded our expectations.<br /> <br /> I would recommend this tour to others. It suited our needs well given that we were touring with our 15 year old daughter and I wanted her experience to be enjoyable. Travelling in India can be challenging but we felt the tour arrangements made it very comfortable and easy. The local staff were all excellent and experienced. <br /> <br /> Warm regards</p> ...more ...less

<p>We have just returned from our first trip to India on your Royal Rajasthan Tour and felt we should immediately contact you to say how thoroughly satisfied we were with all aspects of our trip. We are not &#39;package tour&#39; people but felt that with limited time available to us and no previous experience of India we needed some structure to our visit.<br /> <br /> We found your tour to be the ideal balance between not being part of a large group but at the same time having all the hassle taken care of. We really felt like travellers and not herded tourists.<br /> Your organization was faultless, the hotels were much above expectations and of a consistently high standard (we own a small hotel ourselves),the guides we had were all excellent and, of course, a special mention must go to our driver Mr Singh who was an absolute star. <br /> <br /> This tour has whetted our appetite to return to India again and we shall have no hesitation whatsoever in using your company again. We are already recommending you to friends.<br /> Once again thank you for a truly memorable holiday. <br /> <br /> Best regards</p> ...more ...less
