Janina MET New York

Dear Marieke,

Thank you very much for organizing such a great trip. I was very happy with everything you have arranged for me in Ahmedebad: hotel, car and an excellent guide. Your service was absolutely incomparable, excellent and professional.

I enjoyed India very much, with all the beautiful colors, textiles, great architecture, polite and friendly people. Thank you again.

I am sorry I missed you in Jaipur. Yes, I would like to go back again.  I will give your contact information to all who, I know, would like to go to India. I will certainly leave it with our museum’s Travel Desk.

Thank you again,
Thank you again for your excellent service.
With a lot of appreciation,
Janina MET New York

Hi Marieke,

We had the most wonderful and amazing time – loved every minute of it, and the whole holiday was so well organised and co-ordinated.

Absolutely loved our stay at A  – what a magical place – made all the more magical with Ishwar and his team, and getting to visit his local village and spend time with people there – it was a truly wonderful experience we will never forget.  the rooms and food were also outstanding…definitely would like to return there again one day.  The children in the village touched our hearts – we took some great photos and are going to have these printed and send to them.

Also loved JB in Jaipur – fabulous time there getting to know Shiva, and some of his friends – made Holi a very special experience.
The accommodation in Varanasi at the Brij Rama Palace was excellent – fabulous location and a beautiful hotel – food and service was really good.
Tiger parks were great – really loved Sarai Toria – did not see a tiger there but the experience there was fabulous. We only saw one tiger during our stay at Kings Lodge – nice and lovely park, but a lot of other people staying there commented that Tigers in Ranthambhore were easier to see and appeared to be more in number.  We enjoyed what we saw and experienced.
Also loved the Stepwell dinner that was truly amazing, and something we will always remember.

All the representatives were great meeting us at the appropriate times, and keeping us briefed with timings, and checking if anything we needed – fantastic service and care.  Nirmal was fabulous throughout.

Overall it was a fabulous holiday Marieke and we have many, many special memories that we will cherish forever…India touched our hearts and we would love to return again someday.

Best regards Kerry & Andrew, March 2018

Our trip to India was organized so beautifully and carefully. The accommodation was varied as were destinations in themselves, a bonus to the excitement of each day, as well as havens from the intensity of life all around.
There was not a moment when we felt unwell or uncomfortable and arrangements were flexible and organised without a hitch. Our guides were extremely knowledgeable as well as being great company and tailored our days to include the areas that interested us most – in our case it was history and traditional artisans. We were also able to vary the pace of our days to suit our energy levels.
India itself is impossible to describe but the trip was one of the great experiences  of our lives.
Marieke’s notes on history, culture and shopping were invaluable and her suggestion to end our trip at a yoga retreat was inspired.
