Liliane Orlando Trip # 130389 to India

        Dear Hellotravel Team,

We had organised our trip in India (from Bangalore to Nagarhole National Park, Mysore, Hassan, Hospet, Belur, Halebid, Hampi, Aihole, Pattadakal, Badami to Goa) together with Hidden Treasures India. Shesh was very helpful in organising the tour, he answered very promptly to our questions and changed the tour according to our wishes.

The tour in itself was very interesting, although at the beginning we had some problems, as it was planned that somebody from his company would welcome us at the airport and bring us to the hotel in Bangalore. This did not work and we had to take a taxi to the hotel. But Shesh felt very sorry and explained to us that there was a confusion as another group (also 3 persons as we were) was expected nearly at the same time and they mixed the names. May be, it would be a good idea if somebody not only waits at the airport with a sheet of paper, where the names are noted but also in big letters the name of the company. Then, if we had seen somebody with the name "Hidden Treasures India" we would have contacted him and so things would have turned out easier.

Nevertheless, the rest of the tour was great, the local guides were always ready when we arrived and did explain a lot about the Indian history and Hinduism. The way from Badami to Goa is quite long and the road was partly very bad. The hotels were ok, the one in Mysore was even great.

I hope that this information will help you for further guests who wish to visit Karnataka.

Best regards
