We have had a wonderful trip, thanks for organising all the things. Only one feedback, Wildernest at thekkady is not really meant for honeymooners, though the hotel is not really bad but it is very basic.
Rest of the hotels were very good and Sienna Village at Munnar is recommended for Honeymooners. - Probodh Prabhughate.

Got back from the holiday.everything went off well.the driver was very good too.parwanoo and shimla hotels were very comfortable.kasauli hotel was good too but the room heating was not up to the mark.but on the whole the trip was very nice.thank you.will get in touch soon again for any further holiday bookings. – Rohini Chitre

We are back from Mysore-Ooty-Kodai tour & we thought we should share the feedback with you. Overall, we had a good enjoyable tour. The hotels at all 3 locations were good. Service at Mysore & Ooty hotels was good and very professional. Service at Kodai hotel was satisfactory, but not professional. It has scope of improvement. However, I would like to thank both, your colleague Pooja for co-ordinating & Kodai hotel manager Mr. Swaminathan for accomodating us by extending the check-out time to 12 P.M. instead of 9 A.M. 

As regards the vehicle, to our pleasant surprise, we were initially given a comfortable ambassador car instead of Indica & towards the end of day 2 we got a new driver & an Indica Car. Both cars were well maintained. Also, both drivers were friendly. They were well aware of the general sight-seeing points at various locations. One suggestion, it would have been better had they known some unconventional places of visit as well, especially at places like Kodai Kanal where there are hardly any sight-seeing locations. We made it up by taking a local guide.

In the end, I would like to sincerely thank you for all the co-operation extended to us & making our tour a memorable one. - Mandar and Madhuri Gadre

I made it and am so glad that I am able to do this trip. India is remarkable. I will give you a report later on the Vishal hotel. It was satisfactory but there were a few snags that you may want to know about.  I do appreciate all that you have done for me.  Aloha, Joan Langan

We just want to thank you for all your help with the planning and booking of trains, taxi's, planes and hotels for our trip through India! You were very supportive and patient and everything was organised very well - no problems occurred anywhere. We really appreciated it! - Michelle Kloppers

We thank you for your arrangements done as per the mail below, we are really happy with your services and wish you all the very best in future. - Sanjay Durrani

One of the main reason for us to book this resort was because it's supposed to have quite unspoiled beach. We wanted to have a peaceful, undisturbed holiday. This was described on your website. The work at the beach had started 4 days before we got to the resort and yet we were not informed about it. If we were informed, we would have cancelled this resort and booked elsewhere. In our opinion you have missold us this holiday consequently breaching the contract as we did get what we had paid for. Instead of having a peaceful, holiday, it became extremely stressful. - Asha Nathwani (MTDC, Tarkarli Beach. There was some work on the beach that started without anyone's knowledge prompting her to raise this grievance)

We have enjoyed our holidays. The arrangements at Hotel were really good. Thanks for all the help. - Mahesh Khanolkar

Thanks a lot for arranging my Vacation in Nepal. It was very good - Dharmendra Parmar

The Chivala Hotel was really good & was beyond our expectations. The service offered to us was excellent & homely. I would really recommend the hotel to my friends & colleagues who intend to travel to Malvan.

Special thanks to you for all the co-operation & follow up during pre & post booking activities. Hope to get the same service in future. - Amit Sawant

We had a great trip, and we would definitely recommend Nivalink to our families & friends. Our driver Mr. Neemlal, was very nice and helpful. - Seema Poojary

Thank you for all the reservations. The hotels were all very good this time. I'd highly recommend Spaarsa Resort in Kanyakumari, Promenade in Pondicherry and Heritance in Madurai. These are world class hotels with incredible food, ambience and service. The Bungalow in Chettinadu is not an old heritage home. It is a regular club house with rooms. Don't send anybody there. It's way overpriced, located on a noisy road, and we didn't get to stay at an old Chettiar mansion. We were quite disappointed. Chettinadu mansion and Visalam are old Chettiar homes and worth staying. - Vaidehi Herbert (Hawaii)

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful trip we made in India, in part because of your very good advices. I apologize for the call we made to you in Ooty, in fact we were very tired because of the long trip by car
so we made a confusion about the changes in the itinerary due to the floods. Beside this detail we visited wonderful places, and we will keep some memories of this trip forever. - M Morin (France)

I have booked Ooty & Kodaikanal holiday trip through Nivalink in the month of Feb 2010 & I am very happy for the service offered by you. It was the well planned & well organised trip.
Thank you very much for your well planned & well organised service. - Prashant Ghatge

I do not have words to thanks you for all the help in planning my trip to Uttaranchal. Your timely avaiability over the phone, guiding us through lost ways was something that really stands out, speaking volumes of your customer service. - Sandeep Rangarejen

Everything was good but the biggest dissapointment was Pollethai...it was a terrible property with sad rooms and bad service....it almost spoilt the trip.... 

It was nothing as compared to Marari. Request you to be careful in the future while recommending to other guests. - Kiran Bajaj

Thank You and your team at nivalink for making a once in a life time moment(our honeymoon) truly once in a life time one - Sushant Shetty and Rashmi Shetty

I led a group trip from the United States to Tamil Nadu for the 3rd time recently. Nivalink did all the reservations this time just like it did for all my India trips. I changed our itinerary, added rooms as we went along, and made train reservations in addition to the regular hotel reservations. They did all this in a timely, patient, friendly and professional manner, and with a smile. I appreciate this a lot. We had an unfortunate event happen during our trip. Sonali at Nivalink called us and made sure that we were okay, and made sure that the situation was under control. I highly recommend using Nivalink for all your travel needs in India. Western tourists couldn't ask for a better travel friend in India. The photos and information about the hotels are quite handy and helpful to make choices. Nivalink makes online booking a breeze. I plan to take friends to Karnataka and Goa next year on a group trip, and will use Nivalink again.- Vaidehi Herbert, President, Kolam Charitable Foundation, Kilauea, Hawaii, U.S.A

They were very happy with the tour arrangement as a whole. However, they just felt that the room size at jaipur was smaller for accomdating 3 persons when compared with other two places. 

Thank you very much for making good arrangements. We would certainly like to talk to Nivalink for some other tour plans in future. - Saurabh Agate

All went well with this trip and arrangements were absolutely ok from your side. - Vipan Kumar

Good afternoon. The stay at Whistling palms was good. The place is very clean and the service was excellent. I asked and the guy there and he told me its been a 1year and a half since this place has started. I kinda had a doubt about it as it was so clean. Anyways to let you know the experience was good. This review might help you for other customers. - Amit Pandya

Thanks for arranging a wonderful trip. - Yogesh Mariwala

Thank you for organising refund for safari in Velavadar.  We saw lots of black buck on the drive to the visitor centre.  Rest of trip went well.  We saw 18 lions in Gir.  Rann Riders was really professional and we had a relaxing time there. - Louise Armstrong

Hope this finds you in  the best of health and spirit as myself here.  Thankyou so much for the help and arrangements you made for us. - Bharath Singh

Our trip was extremely memorable but not that enjoyable due to harsh weather which was anyway expected.I could not talk to you a lot of times during the tour as I had got throat infection so other people from our group communicated with you. We were unfortunate in many ways due to bad weather as we could not enjoy Gulmarg,Sonmarg,Kargil and Khardungla. Anyway you and your support team did a wonderful job - Tejal Marfatia

Just like to share that the Hotel Landmark was as such good. Room & food was nice. Resort has a big place, if they good redevelop, it can turn into a very good resort facility for Holiday guys. - Prashant Jawale

Thank you very much. Must appreciate that you had planned the trip very well. Thanks to Sonali as well for the crisis management in your absence. The only sad part was the stay at Guptakashi, but I understand that it was mainly due to an another agency with which you had tied up. - Prachi Verma

We had a lovely time at our picnic. The resort was good and the staff very courteous and helpful. We also enjoyed our trek to the fort. I'd like to thank you and your team for all your help in making our picnic a success. - Vinita

Our stay at Sunderban Tiger Camp was quite enjoyable particularly because of the pleasant staff and the whole program was well arranged. Thanks for helping in the bookings. We, however, couldn't spot any tiger in this season and only could manage to have a glimpse of a crocodile back before it went under water. May be an early morning tour at 5 AM on both the days in a smaller boat with adequate security for wildlife enthusiasts could be arranged which can get into smaller creeks where the probability of spotting tiger is more. This can be arranged for an additional nominal cost with proper permission from the authorities.- Sanjoy Choudhury

All the hotels were beautiful, specially we remember Nairan Niwas Jaipur and the very best Shivniwas Udaipur.
