Testimonials

My wife and I recently returned from a 24 day trip to India, organized by Nazir Karnai. Nazir spent considerable time consulting with us prior to our trip in order to fine tune travel plans that would suit our preferences. Fortunately we relied heavily on his advice and, as a global statement, our trip was fantastic. We had a car, driver and guide throughout our trip and several internal flights in India. Attention to detail was the hallmark of Nazir’s organization and we quickly came to rely on the reliability, competence and friendliness of all Explore India personnel. From the outset we were pleasantly surprised by the luxury of the hotels organized by Nazir. The hotels were all spectacular, with the Taj Lake Palace Hotel in Udaipur truly world class. We consider ourselves fortunate to have chosen Nazir and Explore India to organize our travel to India and we would give him our highest recommendation. Sincerely

We want to let you know what a fabulous trip to India we had this past September. It was much more than we expected in every way! India is such a beautiful, interesting country and we hope to see more of it some day. I wanted to let you know how wonderful our guide Rajeev Sharma is. He went out of his way to accommodate all of us His knowledge of his country and his English were excellent. He is the best guide we've ever had in all our group travels. He's a real treasure for your company. It was nice to meet you in New Delhi and everyone appreciated you taking the time to do that You are a good representative for Explore India which we think is an outstanding travel company. Many thanks for your service to us and the wonderful, memorable holiday in India!

First of all, let us thank you and Rajeev for planning and organizing an unforgettable tour for us and our travelling companions, and for your courteous welcome home card. We appreciate that there must have been a tremendous amount of effort for you both due to the last minute changes resulting from the Kashmir flooding, but despite these challenges, we were treated to a wonderful and seamless experience. Rajeev was able to provide us with a new and unique treat each day, and he is to be commended for dealing smoothly with each and every one of us. Attached are two photos of the many that we have taken, no doubt others will also forward some, and we do not want to overwhelm you! Should you so wish, we would be pleased to provide a testimonial or recommendation to other potential customers, and would certainly contact you in the event of future travel plans to India or neighbouring areas.

Hi Nazir, It was good to finally meet you in Delhi. Thanks for the bag and the lovely gifts. What a surprise. We had a wonderful trip. We are still processing all the experiences and can't believe all that we crammed into our time in India. Rajeev did a great job of ensuring everything ran smoothly. An amazing trip!

Just a short note to thank you for your efforts regarding our recent trip. All of us appreciated the attention to detail and service that we received both prior to and during the trip Rajeev was excellent in keeping abreast of everything that was going on and keeping us informed. The guides were very good especially Deshpal (? ) and the gentleman in Varanassi. Through them we not only got an appreciation of each city and its highlites but also a better understanding of what India is really all about. The accommodations were truly first class so much so that we couldn't wait to see what the next one offered, impossible to grade one over another. Without doubt an outstanding experience. I'm sure I can speak for the Kavanaghs when I say if you need to use either of us as a reference please feel free. Thanks again and best wishes for the future.

I really enjoyed the holiday, There were so many good things about it and I have some wonderful memories. We were most impressed with Rajeev and all he did. The coach drivers in both places were excellent and never made us feel nervous.

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to India. I have been on many trips and this one will be at the top of my memory list. We saw so many different aspects of India and Explore India made sure all my needs were met and I was very comfortable. The tour company’s part in the trip was excellent, efficient and pleasant. We could always count on the program being carried out in a timely manner. Rajeev was beyond helpful to my sister Carol and I am truly grateful to him. He spent many extra hours caring for her. I will certainly recommend the trip and Explore India.

We could not be more pleased with our trip to India. Everything went better than ever expected. The whole experience was first rate from hotels to excursions to meals to our bus and the drivers. I cannot say enough about how well treated we were and that was due to Rajeev. He was so concerned about our comfort and wellbeing. From my birthday flowers to the cake, taking us to the market and getting us to every destination nothing was left to chance. I have already suggested your company to friends and hope they will use your excellent service. Again my best wishes and thanks for a wonderful adventure.

On reflecting on our trip after being home for two weeks , I have got to tell you how fantastic the whole experience has been for our family. The whole trip was flawlessly executed and really exceeded our expectations. A big thank you from our family and I know the rest of the group felt the same. So many highlights that is hard to put a finger on the standout. Your level of detail and planning really showed through as almost no details were missed. I have already recommended you to friends that want to go to India. Thank You

What a wonderful trip. It exceeded all expectations. My husband ,who was not too keen on going loved it. Everything was wonderful, no changes necessary to the programme. We just had a wonderful time. You need to advertise India more. It was unbelievable. Thanks very much.

My mother and I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for a wonderful and memorable trip to India. It was so beautifully planned – it is very clear you have put much thought and preparation into these trips. Rajeev was an excellent escort – he was very attentive and saw to our every need. He made a big fuzz over Mom for her birthday – which she said she didn’t want but I think secretly enjoyed!! In addition, he was such a comfort and help to poor Carol, who unfortunately had a medical emergency. The service was above and beyond, in every way! I would highly recommend Explore India to anyone looking for a well run, quality tour in India. We loved every minute of it!

We have finally got a minute to collect our thoughts and tell you what a fabulous trip we had with you and your team. Since returning on November 23rd from our 35 day trip of a lifetime to India, it was everything we had hoped for. As our guide in Varanasi said when speaking of his city, some people hate it and some people love it, but nobody will ever forget it. We think this thought could well apply to India in general. With that in mind, WE LOVED IT and will never forget it. You were the perfect tour director, with your great attention to detail and endless personal connections making everything seem so seamless for us. Your team through the trip were wonderful ambassadors for the country; they loved their work and loved to tell us about India. We were so glad that you sold us on including Kashmir in the itinerary; it is a very special place, I have about 3000 photos to cull and organize, and these will provide hours of memories. When I get them sorted, I will send along a few for your files.
