Dear Ralph,

Thank you so much for planning our Jaipur and Agra trip and giving us a comfortable and enjoyable trip. Every detail was taken care of and we did a lot of sightseeing. Our guide and driver Manoj added to our fun with his joyous and helpful attitude.

Thanks once again.

Dear Morina,

Overall the trip was fantastic, we saw a lot in such a short period of time. Our driver and guides were excellent and should be commended. I was not happy with the quality of Taj hotel in Rathanbore. All other hotels were excellent. The confusion of entrance fees not being payed should have been avoided. If I were to do it again I would request a guide to stay with us the entire trip. So there is no language barrier or confusion. In the End I would definitely use Trail Blazers again for my travel needs in India.

Thank you. I will send a picture when I get a chance.

Kind Regards,

Dear Rahul,

Sylvia and I got back to New York yesterday afternoon. Our departure was very smooth. We were picked up exactly on time; the traffic to the airport was not bad at 11PM on Saturday even though we had been told that it might get heavy on Christmas Eve; and Ashok very kindly shepherded us through the check-in.

We loved the entire trip. We were met everywhere by the representatives and the drivers were excellent: As you know, we spent 6 days with Ratti Ram, going from Delhi to Agra to Jaipur and Samode. He was just terrific. We also loved our first guide, Rattan Singh, in Delhi. Although all the guides were good, Mr. Singh was really excellent.

When we first got to Samode, we wondered how we had ended up in that remote place; and then we just loved being there and loved the Samode Bagh. After doing a lot of sight-seeing, it was a perfect break, and we are very glad you put it into our itinerary. The staff there was excellent; and Sylvia, who is herself an excellent cook, thought that the chef at the Bagh was superb.

Indeed, although we have stayed at a huge number of hotels in our life, several of the hotels you sent us to, provided unique experiences for us. The Trident in Agra is a gorgeous hotel and extremely comfortable. Sylvia wasn't feeling well when we were there and was made as comfortable as possible. The chef there was also excellent. The Alsisar Haveli couldn't be more different from the Trident in design, but it was fun staying in that old and huge home with its antiques. The waiter in the dining room knew that Sylvia wasn't feeling well and worked very hard to be accomodating. We also liked being in walking distance of the old city part of Jaipur. Finally, despite the huge number of hotels we have stayed at in the past including many luxury hotels, Sylvia and I have never stayed at a better hotel than the Taj Lake Palace. Everything about it was perfect. We could not have been more comfortable or better cared for. I think that it is not just that it is a Taj and the staff are so well trained. The small size of the hotel, only 84 rooms I believe; its location in the lake and having such wonderful views in every direction; the superb taste of the decor; the excellent cuisine - all contribute to its unique excellence.

Putting this all together, I just want to say "Thanks!" We had a fabulous time on this two-week trip; and we are most grateful to you for putting together the itinerary and for your responsiveness to all my inquiries and requests. I hope we will be able to get to India again soon; and when we do, we will certainly contact you.

Kind Regards,

Dear Nihal,

Writing this note to express my thanks and appreciation for the smooth handling of the entire STR Visa process by your designated officer Sandeep. He was at all times well informed, proactively kept me upto date on the status - and was very precise and realistic in his time commitments. Given that the timelines were so tight, this was critical. All my interactions with him were on -time, very polite and precise.

Wonderful to see a man as young as him shouldering the responsibility with such a cool head, and systematic ways. Hope he keeps up the great work, as he progresses in his career.

Kind Regards,

Dear Ashumi,

Many Thanks for organising my 18 day visit with family to Spain and Paris. Due to TBI's efforts the trip was practically hassle free.

  1. The Air tickets and the Eurail /TGV passes were booked on the dates conveyed by me and changed when ever I requested.

  2. The apartments/hotels were booked at economic prices and very comfortable. Only the hotel at Seville, the Alcora, was quite far from the town centre and we had to rely on an hourly bus shuttle to ferry us to the town centre. Since Seville has no Metro this should be kept in mind. The other 3 places were ideally situated with the metro stations being just outside.

  3. If TBI could have tied up for the F.E. and SIM card also it would have been a complete package.

  4. Close and prompt coordination by you was very good and helped make our trip extremely enjoyable.

Kind Regards,

Dear Vistasp and Hutokshi,

We have returned from Singapore. Thank you very very much, the trip was perfect. All your arrangements were excellent.

Please do make a special mention to your supplier that their guide Ms. Foo Kit Loo made the trip interesting. Her courtesy, knowledge and consideration towards my family made it very comfortable for us to enjoy this vacation.

I would like to mention here that the Swissotel has a lounge for people who want to do a late check out with no extra cost. So there is no need for a person to make arrangements at the airport.

Thanking you,
Warm regards,

Hi Morina, 

Thanks, we thoroughly enjoyed Himachal. Thank you for such a lovely and well-organised tour. 

Our driver Mr Devraj was very efficient and mature in driving on all those winding but extremely scenic roads. He was knowledgeable about the places, very pleasant and well-informed / well-read indeed.

If you have a 'feedback form' from his company, my husband and I would be glad to complete it and send it to you.

 If you have a specific TBI feedback form, please email that to me as well and we can complete and return it to you. 

Once again, thanks for all the arrangements. It really went smooth. Climate in Dharamshala and Manali was perfect (very pleasant to comfortably cool).

 I'll post feedback on the hotels on trip_advisor over the weekend.


Best regards,

Dear Ashumi,

Just back in India after a wonderful vacation in Bali.

Thank you so much for all the arrangements - the agent in Bali had arranged a nice car with a driver + English speaking guide.The tours on the 3 days as per itinenary were well organised and we really enjoyed visiting all the places.The best part was the Nusa Dua beach resort - it is simply great property. It is on beach with Westin hotel resort & Lagoona resort adjacent to it and all 3 have a common private beach with common access. The Nusa Dua Beach resort has nice rooms ( we were upgraded ), good service and nice food.

Overall a great trip coupled with our vacation in Singapore with my son, watching F1 race. Thank you once again with all your help and support.

Hi Shilpa,

Just wanted to write a thank you note for all your help with regards to our France trip.

Of the four places we visited, the two that we liked the most (Chamonix and Loire Valley) were Meher’s recommendations – do let her know. I remember Meher had said that we must do self drive through Loire, something I was very hesitant about – but that too worked out really well. If anyone is going to Loire, you should recommend Chateau Chissay for staying. This is a real chateau that has been converted into a hotel. It is a 10 minute drive from the place that we stayed in. The rooms start at as little as 170 Euros a night. We paid 125 Euros and stayed at Auberge du Bon Laboureur which was also totally fantastic.

The behind the scenes tour of the Eiffel was very interesting – in the absence of a guide we wouldn’t have enjoyed half as much.

Also, Raj was very helpful. Do thank him on our behalf. We has excess luggage and needed to buy a bag before getting on the flight back to India. We asked him from where we could pick up a cheap bag and his advice was really useful.

We explored every nook and cranny (i.e. hours and hours of walking) of Chamonix, Nice, and Paris on foot – so if there’s anyone who is going to any of these places, you can direct the person to Varsha or me for tips and advice.

Varsha and I look forward to your assistance with regards to South Africa.

Thanks once again.

Regards,

Varsha and Ankur

We have already discussed with your staff about certain suggestions made by the participants of this tour which we are sure will be considered by you in future to improvise the quality.

Dear Meher/Shilpa

We had an excellent trip and the highlight was Chamonix - THE `MONT BLANC’. Meher, thanks for suggesting us. Hotels and their locations were good. Les Balcons de Savoy and the one in Grindelwald (facing Eiger) were the best.

We enjoyed Italy though it was very hot (Florence temp – 40-45 C) and crowded with tourists. South Italy was beautiful (Amalphi drive was awesome).

Switzerland, of course, is beautiful. We visited Mt Titlis, Zermatt and Gonergrat. On last day, we went to Montreux just for 2-3 hours. We loved it.

Thanks for all your help/suggestions for making our trip so successful and memorable.

I travelled to Turkey with Rinki and Maithili. Sorry for this delayed communication caused by my being away from base as soon as I came back.

Since Maithili and Rinki have given all the feedback, I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU.

Our small disappointment - we couldn't have a tram ride in Istanbul as the tickets are sold only thru' automatic machines and we just couldn't manage these! Also you could give your Turkey customers a tip - the Turks appear very European and this can be misleading!! They expect their customers to bargain in a very Eastern, Asian way! They also expect tips and this was a problem not knowing how much to give.

Overall we had a most enjoyable and memorable holiday leaving us hungry for more (I am also 68 like Rinki and was glad to survive all the walking!!) Despite being vegetarian, I miss Turkish food. The quality and freshness of whatever we ate is sadly not easy to get here.

Thanks again and kind regards,

Dear Shilpa,

PestonjiOn behalf of all the girls, I would like to thank you for the fantastic, enjoyable and extremely memorable holiday we had in Sri Lanka. The Itinerary was perfect - all the locations that were chosen were scenic and had a breathtaking beauty of their own. From the Elephant orphanage at Pinnawala where we saw the herd of elephants feeding and bathing by the river to climbing the flight of stairs to the palace of King Kasha at Sigriya, each day was an experience in itself.

The elephant back safari at Harabana was thrilling as it was a first time experience for most of us. Some good additions to the Itinerary was the trek to the World's end at the Horton Plains - I would recommend it to your future clients. The only qualification is that one needs to be physically fit for this trek. The white water rafting over the Kelani river at Kitugala was a superb which ended up with all of us floating in the river. I must mention that the two guides who helped us with the white water rafting were supportive and encouraging and helped most of us get rid of our fears and inhibitions.The hills of Nuwara Eliya gave us a breath of clear mountain air and we also got to visit the tea plantations. Our trip ended beautifully with the visit to the beach at Negombo.

Hotel Galadari in Colombo was the best hotel in the Itinerary - all credit goes to Shilpa who took extra effort with the booking. The other hotels except for Hotel Senani at Kandy were comfortable and met up with our expectations.

The tour guide, Mr.Chaminda was helpful and did his best in making our trip enjoyable.

We would like to thank you once again for the great trip, the good rates especially for the hotels and the choice of sight-seeing locations. Thanks for all the efforts !

Cheers!

Hi Vikram,

Just a quick note to say hi - hope you are well. 

I am pleased to say that the excursion scores for this cruise were very good at 89%. This is 10% increased on the call to India earlier in the season.

I hear from various parties that they were very pleased with the services of TBI and I would like to thank you for your guidance on  and handling of some of the tricky problems that we faced particularly  in Chennai and also with the last minute medical disembarkation in Mumbai.

I attach an excerpt from the pax comments which will give you some valuable feed back on certain aspects of the excursion operation and look forward to liaising with you later in the year for next seasons calls.

Best regards to you and Varsha as well. I hope you can relax a little now that the main cruise season is finishing.

Dear Meher/Reshma,

Thank you so much for once again arranging a great trip for us. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

And some of my observations ...

Hanoi - Hotel Anise – OK. Ambience and food of restaurants that we were taken to - great.
Halong Bay - Had a boat to ourselves and Halong Bay is an absolute must for anyone going to Vietnam. Hoi An - Ancient House - Delightful hotel. Strongly recommend.
Hue - Villa Hue - Sweet hotel, not as nice as Ancient House but better than Hanoi.
Saigon - The Kingston - OK.
Restaurants and food not as good as Hanoi with the exception of one reastaurant
Phnom Penh - Hotel Pavillion - Again delightful. Strongly recommend. Phnom Penh requires a full day. Killing Fields was not on our itinery and should have been. However we got to see it as we asked for it instead of the Russian Market.
Siem Reap - Angkor Village Hotel - Recommend this hotel which we chosen, very strongly.
Luang Prabang - Villa Santi - Not as pretty as Angkor Village but still out of the ordinary and recommend. The boat ride was extremely pretty and relaxing.

People were most friendly in Cambodia and the Cambodian guides spoke the best English. In fact, in general, English was best spoken in Cambodia. The Viantour representatives there kept calling in each place to check how we were and in Siem Reap, someone even came and met us at the hotel.

These are just my observations to help you for the future. We had a great time anyway.

Thanks again.

Dear Sunil,

We really enjoyed the whole trip thank you! The guides were really knowledgeable about everything we saw and were able to give us a great insight into things. We especially enjoyed the trip to the observatory in Jaipur as it was great to see some of the old equipment in action.
Our driver was fantastic. I think the only change was that it would have been great to have seatbelts in the car (just because this is something we are very used to having to wear by law in the UK!).

Thanks again to you and Meher for organising.

Dear Varsha and Namrata ,
I must first apologise for not writing to you sooner but when we got to our flat, on our return, it had been absolutely gutted by the builder as we had a flood and we had to move to a rented accommodation.  I have been so busy dealing with paints and wall papers etc.  I have had to take a lot of time off work to do so.  Anyway, enough of my woes!!

Firstly let me thank you both and your team for what we consider to be one of our best holidays.  You really went to a lot of trouble to make sure it all ran smoothly.  As the organiser, let me start from the top:

Varsha and Namrata:

You really had a lot of patience with me and my demands.  I really wanted this holiday to be a wow factor and it was.  You came to understand how my friends and I ticked and you adjusted the holiday to suit our tastes.

Every hotel was a gem and had an element of surprise.  For us Visalam was the best of the bunch.  It had everything a memorable hotel should have.  From the staff, to the ambiance, to the food.  The guide – Bala and the driver – Francis were very good and tended to all our needs on the journey.  We all adored the boat trip and I am very grateful that you managed to get Sanil – the Captain who yet again took us to some unusual places on the backwaters.

I found you both easy to deal with and with a good sense of humour.  I was very touched with your concerns when I got ill on the trip and for calling us just to check that we were having a good time.  I would certainly recommend you both and TBI to my friends.

Santosh Kumar - Chennai

Santosh was there on arrival with the two mini buses and his drivers and helpers.  This was 3 am not the best of times but he really welcomed us to India and made sure that we all got on the coach with all our bags etc.  With Santosh in command all went smoothly.    He came to the hotel and helped us to check in.  He came again the next day with all the hotel vouchers and chatted to me about our trip.  He was in constant touch with us throughout the Tamil Nadu part of the holiday.  I was very impressed with him and the care he took to make sure that we were happy with everything.  As an employer myself, I would love to have someone like him on my team.

Mr Prathap – Cochin

Mr P took over from Santosh in Kerala and we again experienced a faultless service.  He came twice to see me at Brunton Boatyard in Cochin and unfortunately I was out both times.  I did speak to him and found him very congenial and helpful.  He also kept in touch with the driver and made sure that the cars came to pick us up on time, every time.  We never had to worry about airport transfers etc and at the airport he made sure that someone was there to see us through to the departure gate.  All in all Mr P is a great asset to the company.

Well as you can see from the above, the holiday was a great success and my friends who had never been to India came away with wonderful memories and can’t wait for you to organise something else for us.

All I can say to you both and your team.  WELL DONE AND A BIG THANK YOU.  I know Lyn and Rosalind have written to you about the trip itself and there impressions of India so I wont go into it.

Warm regards,

Thank you for all the help in arranging the sightseeing at such short notice. They had a lovely time and made special mention of the guides on both days.

Could you please have that sent to me for processing.

Dear Varsha

We had the most amazing journey. Usually I pass out on a beach somewhere so it was a shock to the system to be travelling every 1-2 days, with constant packing and unpacking. It was FABULOUS! We were very well looked after by our guides and drivers, and also the boat crew. I am smiling just thinking about it. There were so many highlights, from our first view of an Indian temple in Chennai to being blessed by the richest elephant in the world at the temple in Madurai. Then there was going the wrong way round the roundabout racing our other 2 rickshaw drivers going from the temple to the palace in Madurai- it worked! Thank goodness we are not competitive!

Blissing out at Coconut Lagoon, being massaged by 2 girls in the Ayurvedic Spa, and then washed, showered and patted dry had me comatose and purring- my shoulders drop just thinking about it.

And then, the wonderful sight of our 2 house boats tying up at the lakeside at Coconut Lagoon so we went seamlessly from one chill out experience to the next. I am giggling thinking of Sunil , our captain , wearing my thick fur trimmed jacket as he carried bags on board. And then we found out that the twin room was on the other boat , so most of the luggage needed changing over and 1 of the crew very gently asked if that was our final decision.

We saw so many different sights, enjoyed so many different foods and drinks, including fresh coconut water, with the coconuts knocked out of the tree for breakfast one day, and the banana leaves picked to be our plates, and the illicit toddy (fermented palm sap) purchased from a local, and the lobsters purchased from the guy in his rowing boat in the middle of the river. As I think back , more and more amusing and interesting moments come back to me. I still have the 2 left footed gold and diamante sandals purchased at Chennai airport that I am trying to turn in to a matching pair, but it’s not easy, so always double check your purchases!

There was the lady digging up her fresh ginger from her front garden at Periyar, the spice village, and pepper growing on trees, and birds eye chillies and lemon grass growing in the gardens. They have spices like we have a herb tub.

We loved our magical journey across India, and are already asking our ‘tour guide’ Shernaz, when the next trip is.

Thank you for the part you played pulling it all together- it all flowed very seamlessly , and I know what a lot of hard work that entails behind the scenes in advance.

Kind regards and many, many thanks,

Hi Ralph,

Sorry for not being able to send this to you earlier.

Thank you to TBI for organizing a good holiday for us at such a short notice. We were happy with the accommodation at Windflower Resort. The location is great and the hotel interiors are quite tastefully done. The staff was courteous and helpful.

Since the resort had a SPA facility, it would have been good if some facilities had been included by them in the package itself. The New Year party was also not that impressive considering the amount charged for the 31st which was approximately Rs 20000.

Being  animal lovers we were quite distressed to see the condition in which the two horses belonging to the hotel were kept. Hope the hotel management makes a note of this and improves it asap.

We were overall happy with our stay and would definitely recommend the place to our friends.

Sub: Simmbly AGM September 24th to 26th – Transporting arrangements – reg.

Just a brief note to thank you and your team very much for the exemplary logistics task you handled for us from the 23rd to 26th for the Simmbly meet.

All delegates to the AGM were full of appreciation for this effort and also how you and your team handled the crisis situation on Friday morning after the heavy rains.

As I had mentioned, Ashok and I took the loud applause that filled the auditorium when the transport conveners were announced. You and your team who were planning the next transport task at the reception and various hotels should have been there instead !!

It was a great pleasure working with you Ram.  I am certain Ashok – Transport convener and Manoj the accommodations convener for the meet will fully agree with me on this.

We look forward to working with you again if another event comes up.

Keep smiling and let these experiences better your skills !!

Thanking you,

Dear Shirin,

We would once again like to thank you and TBI for all the bookings and planning you did for us for our summer vacation. We were very impressed with the way the itinerary was planned as it helped us not to waste any time and we made the most of every day we had in all these beautiful cities. It was a fantastic idea to take overnight train journeys as this was a superb experience and it once again saved a lot of time. The trains were very comfortable and extremely safe. All the Hotels selected were very comfortable and centrally situated. Most of the tours were also very interesting and the best part was that all the pick ups were exactly on time.

A few of the things which we were not that great were (this is only so that you can advice future clients better) :
  1. the concert in Vienna at the Schonnbrun Palace- Orangerie. This was not that great as it was just a small chamber orchestra and the acoustics were also not good. Instead the opera house was beautiful and any concert there would have been much better.
  2. Riding School in Vienna. We personally found it extremely boring as all there is are a few horses walking in different ways.

Apart from this the rest was all super!

Thanks a ton once again

Warm Regards

Khurshid & Jehangir.

Hello to you all,

First of all I would like to say how very much I appreciate everything that you all you did for me during my recent trip to India. It was an amazing journey, perfectly organised, extremely successful and the memories will last forever! To have Varsha with me at the beginning, Javed in the middle and Sunayana at the end could not have been more perfect. Then to the pleasure of meeting Sunil and a very enjoyable dinner with Vikram – what a great team you are and it is a pleasure knowing and working with you all.

I very much look forward to the continued happy and successful co-operation between TBI and Cricketer Holidays which I am sure will carry on for many years to come.

With my best wishes to you all

Tracey.

Dear Mayur,

Just wanted to thank you for making my travel arrangements to Baltimore at such a short notice, a good one.

Had a good trip and am back.

The seating arrangements on the way back worked out well too.

Imp: Just need a little assistance from you on getting my miles transferred on to my mileage card as the same could not be done at Washington Airport. The agent at the airport, wanted the airline partner code no. which I did not have!!!

I will be contacting you soon for fare rates for a work trip that I need to take in August. Being "back to school" season, I probably will need to do it soon.

many thanks once again.

Hutokshi, a special special thanks to you. Without whom this would never have happened.

Hi Samidha,

PestonjiWhat can we say about the dream island - it was once in a lifetime where we got to walk with the Lions, feed the fishes underwater and walking with them as well? And that's not all, we also watched the part of the Island from the sky when we did our parasailing. The entire trip was worth the money including the stay, transfers to various points and meals as well. Sightseeing to the North and South of Mauritius and the IL AUX CERF ISLAND were worth watching. In addition to that there were different places, gardens, volcanic spots, beaches and some wild life which were also worth seeing. Adding to this, everything was organized properly and efficiently by the travel coordinator in Mauritius.


Thanks again

Hi Minu,

This is to record our deep appreciation for the excellent work done by the TBI team towards artistes travel – ticket booking and departure in particular. We were extremely impressed and delighted with the swift action taken by you and your team when we had a problem on our hands with regards to the departure of a few artistes. Team TBI was simply there for us in our moment of crisis.

We look forward to a mutually rewarding long lasting relationship with Team TBI.

Dear Varsha,

I am writing to thank you for the exceptional decor, entertainment and ground transportation services you provided for our mid-sized programme in January.  Everything turned out wonderfully!

I can say with confidence that you are one of the top DMC companies that we have worked with, and as a result of your competency and hard work, the services provided were executed flawlessly. Most important, our client was very impressed with how smoothly everything ran for the attendees and could not have been happier.

Additionally, I would like to specifically mention Sunil Panchal for the outstanding services he provided to our group. From the moment that Sunil was introduced   to our program, it was very clear that he is one of the best in the industry. Not only did I appreciate his timeliness on all request and correspondence, but also his commendable dedication to go above and beyond for our program resulted in the perfect meeting. Even the greeting that we received at the airport was impressive.

Thank you again or a job very well done. We look forward to working with you again on our upcoming programme in March!

Warm Regards,

Hi Morina / Hutokshi,

Happy New Year to you and Hutokshi

Apologises on my delay response, After 6 weeks of holidays and over a thousands emails to go through, it has been quite hectic. Anyway  I have written something which you would be able to put on your website, Let me know should you require any changes on it. Hopefully in a couple of years might again think of visiting your beautiful country,

"The Kapadia family had a great holiday in India thanks to Morina Fernandes,*Asst. Manager Operation-Domestic/Inbound and Hutokshi  Marker - Chief Operating Officer from Trail Blazer Tours (India) Pvt Ltd.

Although the company is located in India we choose Trail Blazer as we wanted to travel around Delhi, Agra and Jaipur by a company that knows the place, the people and the activities associated with each tourist site.

Right from the start of discussing our trip to actually being there, Trail Blazer have helped us in organising the trip to our preference including the airline booking and hotel accommodation.  The staff have been very friendly and accommodating to our needs and also guided us as to which sites were worthwhile to visit.  We were never locked into any particular tour which made it flexible for our needs.

When we arrived we were always greeted by a friendly representative from the company at the airport and at our hotel accommodation.  They were most helpful in guiding us and organising any additional places of interest or restaurants that we wished to visit or dine in.

We were also impressed on the care that was shown towards us as to a representative being with us to help us purchase the tickets for the Sound and Light show at the Red Fort in Delhi which was an optional tour visit.

The driver and all the English speaking guides were very knowledgeable on the history of the each site that we visited.

Thank you Trail Blazer for making our holiday enjoyable, comfortable and most of all memorable.

We would highly recommend to travel with your company."

Hello Nimisha,

I am sorry it took us so long to get back to you to say that we had a wonderful time all through our holiday. Every leg of the journey was well planned and the places visited lived up to their full promise. We were particularly pleased with the planning for Turkey. Having a full time English speaking guide all for ourselves and all through the trip was very helpful. As was the availability at all times of a car and driver. All hotels were not as comfortable as we would have wanted and perhaps next time we will be more specific. Thank you and please convery our thanks to your whole team.

I shall be writing shortly for you to help us with our next trip...... although that is still far away since it will be next year but no harm planning right?

Dear Meher and Nimisha,

As I mentioned on the phone to Nimisha, our tour has gone very well. Today the last group arrived in Mumbai and all 6 of us are very happy with the tour. I want to thank both of you for taking special care and pains to make the arrangements ( it wasnt a homogenous one-itineraryy group ! )

Barring the hotel in Cairo, all other hotels were good, the sightseeing arrangements were good. The train reservations gave a hiccup to the Switzerland group which my brother-in-law Mr. Dilip Gupte will explain. Other train bookings worked well.

I hope to see you when I am next in South Mumbai and give you a short synopsis of the towns visited.

I will have no hesitation in using your services when I have the next opportunity to travel.

Thank you once again,

Dear Meher & Shirin,

I wish to give my million thanks to you both for the fantastic trip you organized for me to South America which is sealed in my memory.

All the countries I visited i.e. Brazil including Amazon, Iguassu Falls from both sides (Brazil & Argentina), Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands were fabulous and exciting. I could see 2 wonders of the world i.e. Christ the Redeemer in Rio & Machu Picchu in Peru. I can’t get the right words to explain my feelings but seeing is believing.

I have travelled to so many parts of the world through you Meher and South America has definitely left a fabulous impression.

I know you both have worked very hard on my program to make it as smooth as possible & make my trip a dream come true. Once again, thank you for organizing a perfect trip and I wish you & TBi all the very best with a lot of success.

Dear Vrushali,

This is to thank you very much for the very detail and perfect itinerary prepared for us to visit few countries in Europe.  It was a wonderful experience and we had a “World of Time”.  The progamme was professionally organized, which gave us a hassle-free holiday; more so, since this was our first travel abroad and we were quite nervous. 

We greatly appreciate your efforts and wish to give our views as follows :
  • the cities chosen were well-thought
  • the number of days in each city/town was perfect
  • excellent rail connections
  • hotels selected were neat and comfortable
We are glad to have been introduced to Trail Blazers and hope to have more such well-planned holidays through your organization.

With best wishes and regards,

Dear Meher,

My family returned on 2nd June 2009 after a most enjoyable vacation in Greece and Turkey.

We are writing to thank you for arranging an excellent tour of both countries. In Greece all the arrangements were meticulous. Your agent was excellent and delivered everything he promised. Santorini was a delight. Crete was lovely too but do advise your clients to spend at least 3 full days there, otherwise it really isn’t worthwhile. The Terra Maris hotel in Crete was just superb.

The Globus tour was good but we have suggested a few changes to them in their questionnaire. The Istanbul hotel, Arena, was in a superb location. All these hotels are old Ottoman homes, refurbished as hotels. As such, the rooms are not standard at all. We had a good room but the room allocated to Shireen and Freyan was very very small, although the amount charged was the same. This is just for your information. The staff was helpful and obliging. Given a choice, all of us would definitely stay in the Sultanahmet area rather than in Taksim.

Please do convey to Shirin that she did an excellent job. All the arrangements were perfect and we look forward to having you organize our next holiday.

With our warm regards,

Yours sincerely,

Dear Morina,

Sorry for the delay in replying but I have been quite busy.

Thanks for a super trip, everything went off really well except the fact that Darius and Sonja could not join us.

I thought that all the hotels we had were great and the arrangements super, everything went as per the plans with no hiccups whatsoever.

A few tips I would suggest are:

Banjara Camps in Sangla are just outstanding-their hospitality is great, food is really good,they help and coordinate activities as per your desire and their location is terrific. Its a place any one could enjoy.

Banjara in Shojha is also beautiful, its location is great but I think its not for the older age group or if you have a bit of a problem climbing up and down coz you need to go down what feels like half the mountain to get to the hotel.

Mcleodganj is OK for just 1 night unless you want to go up and down the same street looking at the same stalls, over and over again.

Manali is OK and being progressively ruined. It is best to stay a distance away when you have a car at your service. I thought Dalhousie was beautiful and the hotel was good. They really were out to please and did all that anyone asked. The location was just spectacular. Kalpa was terrific and so was the HPTDC place there.

All in all I thought the Kinnaur region was a better area but then it could be that it was not overcrowded and hence relatively unspoilt like Manali and Dharamsala.

I think the roads were pretty bad and we did too much of driving but then that was our fault not yours,we were a tad too ambitious and hence were pretty tired on a regular basis. So I would not repeat the mistake again.

All the same, I would love to go back to Himachal to the areas we could not do this time.

Thanks once again for everything,

Regards to you and Meher,

Coomi.

Dear Mr. Altaf and Mr. Ramchander,

I wish to place on record my deep appreciation for the wonderful manner in which Trail Blazer organized a holiday to Munnar, Thekady and Alleppy between 18.5.09 and 22.5.09.

Every aspect of our stay and wellbeing was taken care of and we were recipients of excellent hospitality and comfort.

I would like to specially commend Mr. SIMSON for being not just a driver, but a sensible and helpful guide too.

I wish Trail Blazer all the very best in your future endeavours and you can be assured of good “word of mouth’’ publicity !!

Dear Morina

I am extremely sorry to get back to you so late. With a lot of things happening at the same time I couldnt write earlier.

Our trip to Andaman and Havelock islands was fabulous. It was everything we expected and more.

The hotel reservations done by you both in Port Blair and in Havelock Island were excellent. The service, food, ambience we enjoyed thoroughly. The agents who met us were helpful and accomodating.

I must say we both enjoyed the stay at Havelock Island more than Port Blair. For one thing it was far less crowded and more suited for honeymooners. Also we got the opportunity to do a lot of water sports there thru the hotel services itself.

Overall both of us were more than satisfied with the trip.


Thanks

Dear Sunil

Mr Bob Wilson rang to apologise for the delay in getting in touch with us after they returned from their trip mid March but was wanting to send a diary of his travels - 8 pages of it and it was good to know that they all so enjoyed the prog we put together and his trip down memory lane visiting his old school in Nainital and where he was brought up in Nainpur was what he was wanting to do for a long time but didnt know how to set about it, till he met Amanda and Charlie at Kipling a couple of years ago and Amanda told him about me!

Bob Wilson was full of praise for Trail Blazers and asked me to pass on their thanks to all concerned with special thanks to Sumit Kumar in Delhi who looked after them so well and stayed with them at the station till the train came in (late) and put them on the train - they said they would never have managed without him.  Also thanks to Aramsingh the driver who took them to Nainital and thanks to Rattan Singh.  The diary ends with

"A big thank you to Moyna and Trail Blazers for all the organisation and hardwork that went into our journey of a lifetime"

So Sunil, I didn't need to worry - your ground handling staff did a great job and my thanks too to all of you.

All good wishes and thanks

It has been a wonderful pleasure to be associated with Trail Blazer. It was a wonderful experience to be in Dubai last year and Singapore & Bangkok this year for my holidays with my family. The holiday was organized beautifully by Trail Blazer and we had a very very comfortable and disciplined trip in our entire holiday. The arrangement made by Trail Blazer was taken care of seeing our comfort and timing. I hope that Trail Blazer will prosper more and give us a chance to be with them for our future holidays to come.

Best wishes to Trail Blazer for their success in the days to come..

This mail is with regard to the Annual Trip that was organized by Trail Blazer in Peling from Dec 19, 2008 to Dec 22, 2008 for our branch (Futures First - Kolkata). We would like to take this opportunity to thank Trial Blazer for all the arrangements that was done. The necessary arrangements crossed our expectations and we are very happy. We would specially like to thank Mr.Saket Narayan, who was our Tour Coordinator during our visit to Peling. His behavior, cooperation and tour management was superb according to our team. Infact people have even asked for Trial Blazer's number for their personal trip's  after their brief discussion's with Mr.Nayaran during those days of our trip. We wish Trial Blazer and Mr.Narayan the best wishes for the coming year. We hope to have many such trips being organized by Trial Blazer in the coming years.  

Looking forward to a mutually beneficial relatonship.

We were absolutely delighted with our trip to India; it was so varied and interesting. Our guides and drivers were unfailingly helpful and charming; people couldn't have been nicer.

It was another pleasure to meet you and visit that fabulous fish restaurant that we certainly would never have found without your inside knowledge. It pays to know the people who know what's what! It was so sweet of you to give us that lovely clock which will be a great reminder of our extremely successful trip ( thanks to you )!

So thank you and all your staff for all your hard work in providing us with the holiday of a lifetime!

Dear Mr. Anil Dhyani

Thank you for arranging such a wonderful tour for my mother, Maya Chakravarti, her sister and myself  from December 2 (Bengaluru) to December 17 (Trivandrum) along with Mr. Ravi Tandon from General Tours and Travel in Canada.  The experience was memorable and I am saddened to hear that so many tourists have cancelled their trips to India due to the tragic happenings in Mumbai. So many innocent people are affected by the actions of a few.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know about how wonderful our driver – Peter A. Xavier – was during the entire time.  He was a guide as well as a driver and helped us out on so many levels.  I believe that people who give a little extra of themselves need to be recognized as our world would be a better place if we all took the time.

Please convey my gratitude to Trailblazer Tours and especially to the senior administration for Peter Xavier.  Feel free to forward this email to those concerned.

Wishing you and yours health, happiness and harmony in 2009.

Good morning Rahul,

Thank you for contacting us. Michael and I had such a wonderful time in your beautiful country of India.
We are just now adjusting back to reality here in the US! Your company overall was excellent! All guides and drivers were prompt, knowledgeable and pleasant. We felt the trip was planned very well and that we were able to see a lot of the country at a very nice pace.

Our favorite guide was Mangu Khan in Udapiur. He went above and beyond and took the time to really show us Udaipur beyond the typical monuments and sights. I will keep you posted on my friends. They may push back their travel dates to later given the economy here in the US. Thank you again for everything! Paula Jobson, USA

Dear Ram,

Thank you for your email and, yes we had a safe and event free trip home.

We did thoroughly enjoyed our stay in India and of course especially in
Kerala. Thank you for your organisation and we appreciated the effort that
all the Trail Blazer staff and associates went to to make our trip such a
wonderful experience.

We do plan to get back to India one day, but at this stage I am not sure
when, but it really was a great time for us.

Again thank you for your follow up ...

Best regards,

Rahul,

Thanks for the request for feedback - it is a healthy sign that your organisation is always looking for opportunities to improve. Overall we had a very good experience while in India and were pleased with the services arranged by your company. Some specifics from me which Emma may wish to add to:

- Driving in India is something of a shock to visitors used to less crowded and chaotic road systems. The drivers that we had were good - in particular Rajender who took us from Dehli to Jaipur. A strong recommendation would be that all the vehicles should be fitted with seatbelts on every seat. ...

- The hotels we used were of the expected quality with the exception of the Connaught in Dehli.  I would not recommend using this venue until the required improvements have been made.

- Our guides were all very good and sensitive to our needs. Yussef in Agra in particular was probably the most impressive in terms of experience and his explanations of what we were seeing.

- The itinerary was useful in terms of information. A suggestion for those like us that have not pre-paid for entrance fees is to provide a guide on what cash requirements will be for each day in the details.

Thanks very much for a great service - which helped make our holiday in India a fantastic experience for us all.

Our congratulations to our friend Dominique La Pierre who received the Padma Vibhushan from India’s President Pratibha Patil last month. “It is a gift from the people of the Sunderbans for my love for them … ” Says Dominique who has been deeply involved with this area, since the last 27 years, providing funds from his book royalties. TBI is proud to look after all the travel arrangements for him and his wife, also Dominique.



Dear Meher,

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your organazation for the excellent way you organized our Greek Islands cruise.  Your voluminous e-mails took care of every detail, answered all our questions and took the worry out of our own planning.

The cruise itself was well run and Maharookh and Darious and we had an enjoyable voyage, thanks to your excellant arrangements.'

The only hitch was in my meeting up with the cruise in Istanbul.  The address you gave was not recognized by the taxi driver or the local people.  I finally stumbled on to the ship after an hour's search.We wish you every success in your well -run enterprise.


Best wishes,
Keki Bhote
Dear Meher and Varsha,

This is to thank you both and everyone else who was involved in the planning and execution of our recent holiday to China. We absolutely loved every minute of it and would especially like to thank our guides Lily, Marshall, Colleen and Angela, who were patient (with our demands for shopping), helpful and informative and very friendly.
 
So far, Turkey used to be my favourite country, but it has now become China. It is so rich in culture and with so much to see and very skilled and talented people. I especially loved the artefact shopping.
 
And, contrary to what we had been told, by just about everyone, we just loved Chinese food and very quickly asked for the Indian meals in Shanghai to be changed to Chinese.
 
We ofcourse had our share of out of the ordinary experiences, like missing luggage in Beijing, and
trying to order food in the dining car of the train when no one understood English - and this man who became very aggressive when we peered to see what he was eating - and ofcourse the quake which we felt in Wuzhen. But these things only made our holiday more memorable.
 
There is one strong suggestion from us. The Hutong area was so charming that it would have been nice to have had our dinner in one of the little restaurants by the water - would have given a better feel of the place.
 
And how can I forget the shows which were absoluely amazing especially the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
 
So once again - to all of you responsible for making this such a wonderful holiday - a very big thank you.
We will recommend it to every one.

With warm regards.

Dear Homa,

Once again we want to thank you and all the friends from Trail Blazer for your wonderful warm hospitality at the occasion of our recent visit to India for the great ceremony of the award of my Padma Bhushan.  I shall now carry with pride the medal of my Padma Bhushan on my chest in all official occasions.  I already feel the positive vitamins from this beautiful Lotus ornament.

Dear Homa, you'll never know how much all this generosity from Trail Blazer means to make our  humanitarian task easier and more efficient.  Sometimes we feel a little tired but, suddenly, thanks to you, thanks to this comfortable flights, thanks to these smiling faces welcoming us at airports, we regain all our strength to continue with even more enthusiasm our crusade for the benefit of our Indian brothers and sisters.

It was wonderful to see you all the other day at the Olive Beach to convey  publicly our gratitude.  I felt the souls of Adi and Behram were with us in this very special occasion.

Bless you always, dear Homa.  We hope to come back for a new mission in Calcutta and the Sunderbans early next January.

In the meantime, let us wish you the very best you all deserve for the success of Trail Blazer.

With warm regards.

Hi Dr. Ram,

I just wanted to say thanks for all your help with planning our trip to India. Sherie & the travel group Trail Blazers were great. We had an amazing time, everything was so beautiful & definitely one of the most memorable vacations. We hope to go back again one day and visit the south of India where my mom is from, I hear it is just as beautiful & great food too ;-) Thanks again for all your help, we really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Caroline Roffidal-Blanco
We had an amazing time and I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around all the amazing adventures. In fact, when we were at the wildlife park in Ranthambore two Bengal's walked within 10 feet of our "open" jeep.  My heart was nearly beating out of my chest.  Thank you once again for arranging such a memorable experience.  Our lives have been forever changed.

The attached picture was during our tour of the kitchen at the Golden Temple.  We got to see how they feed 30,000 people every day and participated in rolling the bread for the Nan. 

In addition, please extend our compliments to Trail Blazer Tours of India. Our driver and each guide were professional, kind, fun and very well informed.  We were extremely satisfied.

Dear Nihal and Entire Trail Blazer India Team,

I wish to place on record Hitachi's deep appreciation for the excellent work done by M/s. Trail Blazer Tours India Private Limited, in managing the de legates from all over India who had visited China, Singapore and Indonesia during the "Hitachi Home and Life Solutions India Limited's Award Function and incentive tour organized during August 2007.

This task was given to Trail Blazer India at an extremely short notice when the Company was established. However, the work was executed by you with professionalism and extreme satisfaction to the guests who visited. The guests have greatly appreciated the courtesy and the hospitality which they had received. Most of them have promised to come back to Trail Blazer India on account of the warmth and the affection with which they were looked after.

Kindly convey my good wishes and thanks to all the Members of the Team of "Trail Blazer India."

Thank you very much for this trip. It was a real pleasure for Mr Liguori and myself and we did see quite some highlights during a very limited time!

Organisation was perfect. Especially the driver was excellent.

When we should come back for a second visit or if asked by colleagues, I definitely will recommend "Trailblazer"..!!!

Best regards,

First of all I would like to thank you for all your help and patience with our group. I can't begin to tell you how much we enjoyed the experience. The camp was very comfortable and people were very friendly. We weren't expecting such luxurious accommodations and were pleasantly surprised. Everything from the bedding to blankets and hot water was provided. The staff was very friendly and helpful and were promptly at our service whenever needed. The camp location was also very beautiful and added to our experience. The rafting trips were the highlight and we really enjoyed them. Our special thanks to Prem Sir, who was ever so helpful and patient with us! We thoroughly enjoyed the Bonn fires along with the guitarist.

In all it was an unforgettable and exciting vacation, with absolutely no complaints! We hope to be back in the serene surroundings soon.

Thank you all so much for making this trip so great for all of us!

Best regards,

I would like to confirm that I have been entirely satisfied with the one day trip to Agra. I would like to specially recommend Mr. M.S. Gulati as a driver as he showed great flexibility to accommodate my special requests. Since I was not so much interested in the Agra fort and the market, I suggested to proceed directly back to Delhi to have a quick look at the City Center.

He agreed and gave me a very professionally tour of the highlights of Delhi of which I will keep a lasting memory.

Best regards from Switzerland
