Dear Anupama,

First, our apologies for not getting back to you earlier. When going away for so long (I was away for one month and Steve was away two weeks), there are a lot of things to catch up on! And we have to do it while still processing all these wonderful memories we have from India!

What a memorable trip! It was truly excellent. And we want you to know: Compass India was a big catalyst for making this trip an outstanding vacation! We will definitely recommend Compass India (and already have) to our friends and relatives who may come to India in the future. We will be glad to be a reference for you!

We have just put some feedback below along with a couple of suggestions.

Drivers
The drivers were all good and our favorite was Babula !! He was such a great driver, very calm and did not use the horn constantly. We really enjoyed him.

Guides
The guides were all good and our favorite was Ravi Durga in Delhi and Shiek Sadiq in Kajuharo. All were very knowledgeable!
Compass India Representatives

-- You, Anupama, are great! You were very easy to work with, always responding to our emails very quickly and made it so easy to plan this trip! Thank you!

-- All Representatives who met us along the way were very courteous, very nice and professional. They were always willing to help and we enjoyed meeting them. Our favorite was Powan in Delhi and the young man in Agra (forgot his name).

Hotels
The hotels were all good (except Gwalior, which had cockroaches in the room).
Most hotels had rooms for us close to the elevators, as we had asked.
The food at the Park hotel (buffet for dinner) was too expensive.
In Agra, we had a room that had a view of the Taj Mahal! That was very special!

Suggestions
After coming back, I thought of a couple of things that I would like to do when I go back to India:

1. Music
Music is something that is very primitive and connects us all on a very deep level. There was not much music on this trip. We had one opportunity in Agra and were so glad we did it: The Compass representative there suggested to go to the live show and we really enjoyed it!

Maybe more suggestions on music?

2. Meeting families at their homes
Has Compass thought of offering the tourists to visit a family in India? As tourists, we can see all the old ruins and castles and forts...we can see all the tourists places, but meeting people and seeing where they live is very special. This could be something that people may enjoy.

Anupama, I took about 1400 pictures! So many beautiful places! I will email you a link to look at the 400 pictures I chose to be the best. I hope you will enjoy the show!

Thank you again for all you have done to organize this memorable vacation!

Namasté
