Ms.Helen Mary

We are home again after a final three days in the luxury of the Taj Palace in Mumbai. So thank you both for all your planning on our behalf and for all your care while we were travelling around. You have provided us with many precious memories, both of the wonders of India and of the kindness and generosity of your family. We had a meal with Delys’s young grand- children last night and they were fascinated with our various stories, especially of the cross-country tuk-tuk trek. I continue to be lost in admiration for Rachel’s perseverence in getting us to the temples, but they were well worth the effort – the last Buddhist one we visited was especially memorable. So, once again, my very sincere thanks and my best wishes to all your family,

Ms.Julie Brown

Hello David, My apologies for not getting in touch with you sooner following our trip to Kerala. I just want to pass on my thanks to you for making our trip such a wonderful and memorable experience. Kerala is certainly a most spectacular place and we really enjoyed the range of scenery – from mountains and tea plantations to the backwaters and sea resorts – it was all fantastic. Special mention must go to our driver Thomas who looked after us extremely well. He is a wealth of information, an expert driver and was always on time to take us to our next destination with a smile. A definite highlight for us (and particularly my father) was the bird watching. Kerala is definitely a place for the intrepid ornithologist and Driver Thomas made sure to provide adequate time for this in our schedule. Having our tour spaced out in terms of travel and rest time meant that we could get up early to bird watch and also continue to do so in the late afternoon when the birds are at their best. I want to also praise you for the selection of accommodation. Each place was extremely good and exceeded our expectations in terms of cleanliness, hotel facilities and dining options. For anyone travelling to India and worried about food – don’t be! All our meals were excellent! We will definitely be recommending your company and this particular tour package to anyone who is interested in visiting beautiful Kerala.

Hi Ignatius, We’ve finally come to the end of our trip and have arrived back home. We had a lovely time in Kerala and really enjoyed the first two hotels, and the good car and driver you booked for us. The country boat tour in the small canals was a highlight. The kids also very much enjoyed having cool drinks on the lakeside lawn at the Punnamada Resort and watching the houseboats etc go by. The guide Mr.Lokesh at Hampi turned out to be very knowledgeable and patient with the kids etc. He arranged cars for us each day. We liked him. The hotel Mayura was nice and close to Hampi, much better than returning to Hospet every night. Anyway, thank you so much for organising our time in India. It was a great introduction. Particularly appreciated was that you came to the airport to welcome us and to send us off again at the end. We also felt reassured by the fact that you checked in with us and the driver on occasions throughout our stay in India. Cheerio,

Dear Mr. David, We had just finished our Kerala packaged tour arranged through your Unique Tours. This tour was unique to me since my parents were travelling first time with me and this was the first tour to Kerala. I was carefully planning for this tour for two months considering my parents and their comfort. At the end of the tour, I had a strong feeling that I was not alone in my efforts however there was complete team of Unique Tours standing beside to make it a grand success. The tour planning was absolutely hassle free. My Parents really loved every aspect of the plan including all the hotel stays, travel arrangements and especially the houseboat stay. My young daughter was continuously insisting that we shall extend the stay somehow we convinced her with a promise of revisit next year. I would like to thank you and all your team for neat planning a very memorable tour. The memories of which will be cherished forever. Please also convey our thanks to our car driver Mr Nazeem for his sincere efforts, always ready kind of an approach and skillful driving in the Nilgiris. Wish you all the best and thanks once again.

Dear Mr. David, Would like to say a Thank you to you, Mr. David, on behalf of my family and the Kotwals, Also, thanks very much for giving us Mr. Joy as our driver. Because besides being a competent and responsible driver, he was extremely co-operative in all respects. He did not say NO even once for taking us where we would want to go. Thank you Mr. David, for the Cocobay Resort experience which was Wonderful and beautiful. Hotel Sea view, Kanyakumari:The location of our hotel was very good, facing Bay of Bengal, but to our bad luck the cloudy weather prevented us from seeing the Sunrise from our hotel, Abad Plaza was a superb hotel with excellent facilities, especially the buffet breakfast. Their restaurants also served good food. We have decided to recommend you to our relatives and friends, whenever they want to take a trip to Kerala. Thank you very much once again.

Dear Ignatius. We just wanted to thank you again for all the thought and time you put into organising our holiday. You gave such a fantastic, personalised service and we especially appreciated the last minute adjustments that you managed to make so that we could escape the rain! We had such a wonderful relaxing time on the Lakshadweep island and then had a fascinating time touring round Kerala itself. We were overwhelmed by how friendly everyone was – they couldn’t do enough to help us. That together with the beautiful scenery and lovely food, all made for a perfect holiday. Thank you again for all you help – James is already asking when we can return! And we will, of course, be recommending Kerala and your company to all our friends and family. Best wishes
