Our experience was great.
Our experience was great. Sanjay is an extremely friendly and chatty person with bags of enthusiasm. Communication was easy by email or phone. We had lots of questions. Our holiday to Bhutan, Kolkata and Darjeeling was arranged well with enough multinight stops to allow r and r from walking and existing at high altitude. He followed our requests and built a holiday around four must dos - Crane festival in Bhutan, Tiger's Nest monastery in Taktsang, and Bhukara restaurant in Delhi. His suggestions made sense and added much enjoyment. Our stay in Darjeeling at a tea plantation was delightful and we felt pampered - an excellent idea of Sanjays. As was Kolkata, an eye opener and fascinating. Visas were well organised and with no issues. We did our own for India. Bhutan was arranged by him as is required. We arranged our own flights by choice, Sanjay was very willing to do that but was fine with us arranging them. The hotels he suggested were all fine, varied and perfect. There was an issue with the hotel in Kolkata but that was because the original hotel unexpectedly closed for refit, and Sanjay found an equally quality hotel as a substitute. Sanjay answered any questions we had with satisfactory answers. One suggestion is that travellers to India should be advised to get Rupees in small denominations on arrival, or have the guide arrive with a pre- arranged amount along with the paperwork. We were unable to get sufficient small denominations for tips. The guides Sanjay arranged were on the whole great and knew their stuff. There was a lot of road travel but the people carriers were perfect, comfortable, clean and allowed all four of us a window view. Sanjay gets excited for you and you look forward to your holiday with glee.
