2014


The holiday/adventure has been great with many highs and thankfully very few lows. We would rate the following accommodation in the fabulous category, Sarai at Toria, Sher Bagh, Jawai Leopard Camp, and Serai Jaisalmer with Tikli Bottom very close to being in that elite group.  Worthy of mention, and we would be very happy recommending them, were Chambal Safari, Shapura Bagh and Bhainsrorgarth.   TWX were very good, and Isha in particular, but their journey time estimates between places was very over stated, it would have been better to have best case/ worst case.  Again we have thoroughly enjoyed our trip, with many memorable experiences. We are already thinking of where next in India.

A quick thank you for arranging our wonderful trip to India.  We are now back home in Devon after an amazing holiday, and enjoying all the happy and fascinating memories.

Holiday excellent.  Guide in Shimla outstanding!  Everything went to plan in despite the 5” of snow on return journey to Kalka. Having a mobile phone was a good idea and made us feel confident knowing we had immediate contact.  Thank you for a wonderful holiday, you have given us an excellent service – we will certainly use you again and recommend you to friends.

Local agents TWX were brilliant.  Everything went like clockwork.  Special mention for Isha Sharma who was helpful throughout, kept in touch, arranged complimentary massage after disruption by taxi strike in Goa.  Our driver Manu also brilliant, safe, smart, punctual and helpful throughout.  Highly recommended.  Leela hotels are superb, as was Rambagh.  Chhatra Sagar tents is a different experience but highly recommended.

We'd just like to say a big thank you for the amazing holiday we've just had. Everything went like clockwork, we have no complaints at all. The hotels were brilliant, the travel company TWX were very pro-active and anticipated our every need. The guides and drivers were excellent; prompt, always polite, knowledgeable and considerate. We would (& have) recommended you to all who will listen!  Many thanks to all but especially to Gary Tree, his input made this a holiday to remember! We will be booking another trip as soon as funds allow!

Hi Trevor, we have just returned last night from our India trip and wanted to say thank you for organising it for us. Both Varanasi and Mumbai were great (really interesting).  We thought the Gateway Hotel in Varanasi was absolutely lovely and it was nice to have some greenery around after returning from the city itself. The tours worked really well and the boat rides and what we saw were everything we hoped for and more. Train trip journey to Mumbai was another experience and we were fortunate to get a compartment to ourselves. The little travel kits we were given were excellent.  The Suba Palace was everything we needed for a short break and its location was fantastic. The local agent in Mumbai was not as good as Varanasi and appeared to have no information on our slum tour at 1pm.  After a few discussions we managed to get on it later in the afternoon and again it was one of the highlights of our trip.  Thanks again and I will be in touch when I have had time to research our next trip.

I have not long returned from my trip which you organised. I enjoyed it so much and everything went more or less smoothly.  The hotels, agents, guides and drivers were all excellent. It was very reassuring to be met and welcomed at Mumbai Airport.  The beautiful hessian folder with all my vouchers, tickets and itinerary and the prepaid postcards (a very nice touch) was also very welcoming.  I had wondered why I needed the mobile phone, but it proved very useful on two occasions when there was a slight glitch with a late driver. The contact immediately sorted things out. The wedding, the Ellora and Ajanta caves, the 8 hour train trip and the wonderful stay in Matheran all made a varied exciting and amazing trip. Thank you for your part in making it possible.  I will write on Trip Advisor very positively!  May be South India next time!

Thank you so much for all your help arranging our recent holiday.  We had a fantastic time and I simply cannot praise your organisation enough.  We were looked after brilliantly by everyone at TWX, being completely spoiled so that I wondered how we were going to be able to cope with real life on our return.  Our driver, Mr Singh and Devinder were excellent - so helpful and punctual. The guides were all extremely knowledgeable and very helpful with excellent recommendations for local restaurants, etc.  I have already been singing your praises to everyone I've spoken to on our return and will continue to do so.  The hotels were lovely - with both the tented stays (Sher Bagh and Chhatra Sagar) being a real highlight.  
We are already thinking about our next trip...   I know that Kerala is an area of expertise for your company.  We would be thinking about a trip at roughly the same time of year next year.  We would be interested seeing what you would suggest - we'd like to experience a homestay, a houseboat, and anything else you recommend.   Would it combined with a stay in the Maldives on the way home. We would be really interested in your thoughts/suggestions.

This certainly would be rated up amongst one of the best holidays we have had.  Holidays do not come cheap and providing you have researched in the first place you will not be disappointed.  India is certainly a magical place and we will return in a few years to another area and I would certainly contact India Connections for their guidance and expertise. I would not hesitate to recommend this holiday to a friend.

Gary - thanks for your service - we had a great trip and would happily book via you again.  Very good driver, safe and reliable.  Local agents/reps were all good and attentive.    
Roslyn

I had a fabulous time in India - we both really enjoyed it.  I absolutely loved the holiday and want to thank you and Trevor for giving us such good advice and a wonderful trip.  This really was the trip of a life time. We loved all the hotels we stayed in and all the people we met.  Ramathra Fort was a stunning hotel - loved the grandeur and the location. Shahpura Bagh was delightful with the nicest hosts.
Kate Purcell

Great agent, very organised and well co-ordinated.  Nice and friendly.
