Country--Italy 2007-01-14
Emilio Radice,
Good morning from Italy!
First: many compliments to Compass company for the perfect tour that we have done in Rajasthan. You have a very good organization. Every thing was like we wished: good hotel, exceptional driver (always attentive, kind and punctual), perfect assistance. I'll get again your organization when I'll come again in India, I hope soon.
And now only some suggest about the tourist guides.
1) in Bikaner the guide was very kindly but did not tell us anything about the Camel Festival that was becaming just in the day that we stay there, so when we were noticied by an indian people that we met casually in the evening it was too late to see the event.
2) in Bikaner again the guide would strongly show us a textile shop in which were sell bad products (il was yhe firsth step of our tour and only after we were able to understand the fraud about quality and prices).
3) all ok in Jaisalmer (very good guide)
4) all ok in Jodhpur (professional guide)
5) in Ranakpur Temple we found the worst guide: he did'nt explain us anything; he preferred to stay on the door of the temple talking with other persons than to stay with us (and so we did not give him any tip)
6) all ok in Udaipur
7) bad in Pushkar: I think that the guide is in accord with some dishonest brahamin. He guided us from the Brahama's temple to the holy lake always saying that we should not give any offert or tip to anyone, but on the lake he said that we must give money to a brahamin for a prayer. That man insisted strongly to have a lot of euro or dollar by each of us (he asked me 500 or more euro) "for poor brahamin that live here". It was very disagreeable. Obviously we gave him only 100 rupies and stop, and he got angry with us. The guide was always near us without saying a word, not before and not after.
8) all ok in Jaipur, fantastic town and good guide. All ok also in Dehli.
But I want repeat all my personal thanks to the driver, a very extimable person and a great worker. He is a precious person for you. We are gratefull to you and your organization. Ciao and to see soon again.
