Hello Rajiv
I just wanted to say many thanks for organising our tour of India’s Golden Triangle with The Maharajas Express.  My mum and I were met at the airport by Girish with beautiful garlands and I was presented with a lovely bouquet for my birthday.  It was very thoughtful – we had a lovely time at our sightseeing tour. The train journey was simply fantastic and even my mum agreed that we should have booked the 7 day tour!
Thanks again for all your help in making our holiday one we wi…

Dear Rajiv and Gouri, I am safely returned from my month in India in one piece. The trip was fantastic all round and very well organised, with all the agents / drivers / guides in the right place at the right time etc and of a high standard. The itinerary certainly afforded a wide cross section of different places in the country, and has wetted my appetite to go back and explore again, perhaps in more detail in some areas. I particularly enjoyed the Heritage hotels, the most interesting…

Thank you for making the arrangements
