Hi Varsha
I am sorry it has taken me so long to send this email but I did want to
write and thank you and compass tours for arranging our holiday in
India. We had a wonderful time, with many photos and memories to bring back
with us. A special thank you to our driver, Ragu on the long drives.
Thank you again

Dear Varsha,
I hope you are well!
Nik and I are still recovering from the Wedding Extravaganza , and of course, I have been running mad because I had to take care of some critical things about my future in surgery.
Anyway, now that things are a tad bit less lunatic-- perhaps we can meet some time this week for coffee or something-- let's say-- Thursday morning or something?
The trip was absolutely phenomenol. I think the only slight complaints came from the first hotel we stayed at (the clarion) and the phone not being accessible for a long time, but other than that-- the trip went off without a hitch and everyone had a great time. It was really a testament to all your hard work and meticulous planning.
Please let me know when you'll be free for a bit; my "husband" and I would love to finally meet you!

Warm regards,
Propa

Karen and I returned home on Monday and wanted to send you and your team a "thank you" for the fantastic trip! Your country is beautiful and offers an abundance of culture, spirituality, history and adventure. From someone that has traveled to Europe, Asia and South America, it is by far the most fascinating country I have yet to visit. From the perspective of two westerners, it is so clear to us that we only started to scratch the surface of your country and have so much more to learn.

Regarding the trip logistics, the accomodations, transportation and guides were exceptionally prepared and well thought out by Compass. They exceeded our expectations. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful and mindful of our trip. Karen and I have travelled extensively on our own in various countries and were not accustomed to the attention, care and safety provided by your team. We are very independent travelers that usually throw on a back pack and figure the trip logistics out on our own. Having a trip planned for us was a very different (and pleasant!) experience. As a matter of fact, we are so used to taking care of ourselves that Karen and I felt badly that Naka had to escort us to the airport so late in the evening on our departure date (12:50 am flight). That is normally something we would just take care of on our own.

We will definitely recommend your company and services to our friends. Currently, I am trying to convince my husband to visit your country this year. I would love for him to experience the sites and culture as Karen and I did.

Please send a special thank you to Anand. He navigated us through the whole trip safely from start to finish and did an outstanding job. He made the trip a wonderful experience for Karen and I. I especially appreciated the Hindi lessons and will be continuing with the language lessons here at home. Should my husband make the trip this year to India, we will be requesting Anand's services again.

Shweta, I am sorry we were not able to stop in on the last day to see you. There were some more sights in Delhi that Karen and I wanted to see and we kept Anand quite busy well into the evening getting us to them. I suspect we will be back soon and at that time we will come by to give you a hug and say "thank you" in person. Should you ever request a formal letter of recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Shannon.

Dear Shweta,
Compass Tours made our trip to India the best that it could be. Out of the six of us that were traveling, none of us had previously visited your country and Compass took care of us from the moment we arrived until we left. It gave us a special look into the caring personality of the Indian people. Before we even left on the trip, we felt great. Shweta, you worked with us everyday until we narrowed down a perfect itinerary. We loved being able to have a say on what type of accommodations we would be in as well as what type of vehicle we'd be transported in. It worked very well. The guides that you contracted with in Bikaner, Jaisalmer, and Jodhpur were some of the best I've ever met. Not only were they hospitable and knowledgeable about their areas, but they took it one step further and invited us to view some of the culture first hand. In Bikaner, Bihwanas invited us to his house for dinner and we met his family. In Jaisalmer,
we were also invited to Jintendra's mother's house for tea, and in Jodhpur, the guide took us to a friend's wedding. On top of that, each
guide was so open about their lives, which are completely different than our American lives. They talked to us about their religion, their caste, their marriages, and much, much more.I recommend that anyone who visits India should use Compass to arrange
their trip. The best thing about it is, that I as the customer, made all the decisions, and Compass did all the hard work!
Thank you so much for such a rich and rewarding experience! I cannot wait
until I have the opportunity to go to India again!

First of all, I would like to say that we are thoroughly happy with every aspect of our trip. Your team was always courteous, professional and on time. We really appreciate all their efforts, and cannot speak enough about how wonderful each and everyone treated us.

I do, however, have a couple of recommendations that might be helpful to you with future clients from the U.S. or Europe:

1) If at all possible, have the clients fly or take the train (a true experience!) to various cities. As wonderful as our drivers were, the roads, even the good ones, are quite stressful for clients from other countries. I really found I could not relax at all while we were on the road. I believe that short drives (2 hours or less) would give a client a taste of the system, but not tax their system!!

2) Also, in regards to flying, I would also recommend, if possible, taking the evening flight instead of the early morning, and I do mean early!! Most ,not all, but most travellers are on vacation and would rather enjoy the full day in a destination and then fly at night to another destination where they can sleep in a bit the next day. I know that was one thing we would have changed in our itinerary.

Overall, again, we are forever grateful for all you have done to make our trip to India a complete Success! We saw amazing parts of your country and were treated superbly. We will most definitely recommend your services to any of

our friends who visit India in the future.
Thank you, and continued success.

Dear Durjay,

Hi, we have a safe journey home. It was a wonderful trip for us. Everything was going fine and the local guides you appointed was excellent except for the one in Bangalore, he is not so cooperative. But that is just a small issue. Anyway our group is happy of your service and thanks for the dinner you gave in Delhi. Some of them did not enjoy the dinner as they have gone for the last minute shopping in Delhi, nearby the hotel where we stay. Surprising a lot of nice clothes selling there and we bought quite a few. Infact we can gather all the clothes that we bought and put up a shop in Kuala Lumpur to sell since Deevali is around the corner !

Last but not least, we have an enjoyable trip.
Take Care

Bye
Wei Leng

Dear Durjay,
This is my comments on my journey and services. I trust that the "note" below is acceptable.

Please comment
I wish to thank the Director & staff of Compass India for ensuring that my very first visit to my motherland India was a most memorable one.

During the course of my journey I had experienced no major problems or difficulties. Mode of travel, Tours and Hotels were centrally situated. As a result after official tours for the day, we were able to do some "sight-seeing" on our own, in a safe, friendly atmosphere.

The tour guides were most knowledgeable in the North as well as the West India. However for tours of South India, namely Tamilnadu, the guides were not as knowledgeable. However, I would not have changed anything as it was a valuable learning experience for all involved. I also found that at times when my companion was unhappy about some arrangement, which we had initially requested, the arrangement or plans were changed or amended to our satisfaction. We realized later that this had inconvenienced the director, and were apologetic to him. The director thankfully is understanding and totally committed to ensuring that all clients visiting India and utilizing Compass services are satisfied. Sadly, my journey had to end. It just seemed to me that it was too soon. plans were changed or amended to our satisfaction. We realized later that this had inconvenienced the director, and were apologetic to him. The director thankfully is understanding and totally committed to ensuring that all clients visiting India and utilizing Compass services are satisfied. Sadly, my journey had to end. It just seemed to me that it was too soon. On a different note, I can honestly add that at least

I know that there is someone professional and most importantly FRIENDLY, understanding and Totally Committed, who will be planning my next visit to INDIA.
