Commendations

It has been thrilling to be in India. Before we could realize, 2 weeks just zipped through. Every place we went to was different. We chose to go to diverse regions in India as we had heard that all 4 sides ( East, West, North and South) were different in culture, people and natural beauty. The representative of Maglev, helped us in carefully identifying the locations and it turned out to be a real treat. Here are our scores:

Hotels – Outstanding, Road travel – Average (road conditions not too good),Food – Indian food was difficult to eat, so our tour organizers had arranged our type of stuff,Sight seeing – Thrilling, A+ to India and Good job Maglev !!

Good hotels… The best was Rambag Palace at Japiur. The 2 days made me feel like an Indian King and we were pampered like one. We wanted elite treatment and we were given just the kind of service. Unfortunately, my communication to Maglev of arranging for a Luxury Sedan came a little later, after the tour was booked and we were about to leave our house for the Airport. When we arrived in India, we had a beautiful Mercedes waiting for us. Never thought India can be so organized…This is not my first trip to India. But it was the first for my wife and kids. Rajasthan, Delhi, Agra, Varanasi at first came to us a culture shock, but our guide Rajeev explained the reasons beautifully and we found ourselves to be a part of the country within a few days. It was a smooth and truly memorable trip. I am trying to upload a few videos of our tour, on UTube. Thanks Maglev, it was very comfortable.

Brazil is a country where we are accustomed to see an open culture. We had no idea that a country can have so many values and contrasting cultures as compared to our country. To take us through our journey, Maglev proved to be a wonderful comrade. It is truly a diverse country with thousands of languages, clothes and yeah…colours. I have spent half my life in the U.K and was mesmerized by the culture there, but what I saw in India swept me off my feet. The massages, spiritual sessions at one of the hotels I stayed, Yoga… I can’t explain, but I am a new person after returning from that journey. You have to be there to experience it. I strongly recommend India to all of you. But be selective about the places you want to go, I would suggest you call the Maglev helpline and take guidance from them. Good people to talk to and travel with.

Grand hôtel ! Beau pays ! Bonnes gens ! Grande excursion par Maglev! Merci !

Thanks a million, Dennis. You have been a fabulous connoisseur for us. I was expecting very little before leaving from London, as I had received reviews from a few of my friends of how berserk could be our travel to India. It was totally the opposite, when we reached there. We got access to places that many people we met, didn’t even know about. You need to have really good knowledge about the location, to be able to get us to the places, where we went. We were a group of 29, in the middle of a Jungle at Jim Corbett National Park and we were surprised to get the kind of hospitality we received there. Everywhere we went in India, we were greeted by a smiling representative ( I wonder if they ever gets tired of smiling) and were there with us through everything. At the beginning of the tour we were briefed to take care of our belongings (as they are not liable to compensate for lost and stolen items). When we reached Amar Fort, my friend (Andrew Blott) realized that his camera was stolen (which apparently he had left inside the bus which was allotted to us), our Tour Manager (Girish) got all the authorities to be on their toes and find the camera for us (something that they were not even responsible for). It was Girish who found it in the bus and instead of getting annoyed, smiled and mentioned that, “In India, we believe a guest is second to god”. Heart touching experience. I think I have written enough. If any of you reading are thinking about making your way to India, the time is now. Go ahead. I would say Maglev, all the way.

This trip was the most emotional trip of my life. My parents are from India, but I was born and brought up in the UK. I stepped in to India for the first time, that too after my parent’s death. Back to my home town, in Kerala. All my life I have been hearing about how difficult it is to travel around in India, hence we booked it through you. I only wanted to go to Alleppey to see off my ancestral property as I have always been wanting to be there. Thanks to you guys that you recommended Munnar, Kumarakom, Ooty and all those other places in the south. Honestly speaking I never knew traveling in India would be so much fun, enriching and it was all just because of you guys ! Hats Off !!! My husband and I were mesmerized by the beauty and charm of India and Maglev definitely made it a trip of a lifetime for us !! Thank you a million times !!!
