Well, in followup to our trip…..I can’t thank you enough….As you know I had several ideas about what to see on our south India trip, many destinations off the beaten path and not typical tour scenarios…You always made things easy with your can do attitude, and were always kind and patient with my attention to details.  Everything worked out beautifully…This being our third time to India, we were so very impressed regarding the quality of every aspect of the local service…from the guides, to the food, to the hotels…the service was beyond expectation, as we never had a glitch…from being met at he airport in Trivandrum, meeting our driver who was with us for the whole trip, until the person who made sure we were taken care of at Chennai, where we returned home from.  From our perspective, everything went efficiently and smoothly.  One great benefit, was our driver, Thankaray, who was easy going, upbeat, and engaging with all of us, and made us feel that we would always be taken care of on a daily basis…As he was always there, it provided security and consistency for us….He joined us for lunch and dinner daily, taking us to local Tamil restaurants, which were to our liking ( more where the locals would eat..), and was a high point for the trip.  No food that outstanding back home!  We set out for this largely road trip tour, and the pace was relentless, but the caliber of the hotels, and opportunities to have down time were still incorporated.
We have only good reports to give, and certainly, when I travel again to that part of the world, I will call you first.
