Dear Durjay,
We all arrived back home safe and well, but tired. We enjoyed our trip.
The North Tour was exceptional and although hectic, we managed to visit most of the places we had earmarked.
The hotels were all excellent and so was the driver and his assistant.
We would have loved to spend an extra day both at Jaipur and Haridwar.
May I just make one observation regarding the charity collectors at haridwar. For tourist's sake the authorities in charge at the ghat should limit the number of organisations collecting for charity. Maybe this will be good for tourism and as you are very much involved in the industry you may wish raise this matter with the appropriate authorities. Also there are too many priests touting for business. It appears that they want you to perform a pooja ceremony either out of guilt or fear!!!
We arrived safely in Mumbai on Xmas day. It appears Air India did not ring you regarding the alteration of our flight number and time.
The South Tour was just as memorable, but I must confess that Tulip Star was a big
disappointment. The room facilities were abominable. They will only give us one towel for the double room, no hand towels etc. We had to request for these amenities on a daily basis, if not once but twice to the duty managers, before they would accede to our request. They also did not offer sea facing rooms, but after complaining they allocated one room, and another the next day, but as we were settled some of my party did not want to change. Anyway I was responsible for changing from Sun and Sand to Tulip Star!
Goa and Bangalore was relaxing. Although I personally still prefer to spend more time in Mumbai (but not at Tulip Star). The guide and drivers were all very helpful.
However the family did some useful shopping in Mysore and Bangalore.
I will have no hesitation in recommending Compass to my friends and family here in Sydney if they wish to use the services of a tour operator.
We ourselves are planning to return in two years time, provided our health is OK.
Regards to you and to your staff
