28. 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

29. 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. Best wishes for a brilliant future in your enterprise. With regards, E. A. Wadia. Nirman palace, Andheri (East ), Mumbai 400 093.

34. 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.
