November 2024, group
Dear Moshe,
I’m happy to share my impressions of India…
Most special for me was my time in Kerala. The Fragrant Nature Hotel was magical Shabbat morning at Paradesi shul very special, The shikara lake journey, the Village tour with so many smiling faces showing us how they live and work was an experience I’ll never forget.
Lake Pichola boat ride was wonderful.
All the incredible craftspeople from colour blocking techniques to stone shaping to carpet weaving to marble carving and subsequent stone inlaying to cactus weaving
were eye opening and enriching .
The elephant ride and subsequent Amber Fort WOW!
Of course being a member now of the Taj Mahal masterpiece club
I experienced so much sincere interest from the people of India about where I was from and support for what we are doing in israel which was heartwarming and unexpected.
Your chosen emissaries Lee, Prem and Mendy were professional and so lovely.
I would recommend this tour to anyone thinking of exploring this vibrant colourful country and look forward to returning .

Hello
I had a fantastic time, thank you!
I found the tour guide Mr Lee very knowledgeable and he was also flexible so sometimes when part of the group wanted to visit something but others wanted to go back to the hotel, he arranged tuk-tuks for those people, so that everyone was happy
Taj Mahal was spectacular and it gave me much joy that we ended up seeing so many places in India because after two and a half weeks I felt that I had got a true feeling for what the country is like, and how the wealthy and poor live
The food was all delicious and very plentiful with a large range to satisfy everyone.
The hotels were all wonderful
I have nothing negative to say!

Hi Moshe, below please see the feedback from Susan and Shelly Glowinsky.
Overall, the tour was excellent and very good value.
You have a very professional organization and professional and dedicated staff.
Mr. Lee is an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly; he also made some of the longer bus rides very interesting with his stories about India, its culture and history and his personal life.
Mr. Prem did a great job with the logistics and he really cared about the group, even coming to meet some of us in Mumbai on our last afternoon when the group split up in different directions to shop or go to the hotel prior to going to the Chabad house for dinner.
As well, Mendy did a good job as mashgiach.
We’ve been on 4 other kosher trips, and by far the food was the best on this one. We never had made to order omelets as a breakfast option on any previous trip, thanks to Mendy supervising while the cook prepared them. There were ample choices and amounts of food, even to the last day.
The itinerary was very good and Lee made an excellent decision to put off the Taj Mahal to the next morning rather than try to rush it the previous afternoon before dark.
We think it would have been sufficient to just include just one outdoor laundry and that would be the large one in Mumbai.
Very glad that we went to the Mahatma Ghandi residence in Mumbai, very important history, it was up for debate whether we should go there or not; glad we did.
The local tour guide who explained the sun dials was amazing, he really knew his stuff and the accuracy of the large sun dial is incredible, glad it was on the itinerary.
The hotels were all fabulous, we would recommend these hotels to anyone travelling to India.

Dear Moshe,
Anthony and I hope you are well? We are so pleased that you are very busy at the moment with our tour, catering for the other kosher tours and organising more India Kosher Travel tours in January and February.
We were so pleased to finally make it to India -and we had a wonderful time and so many fantastic experiences! Our first evening and the next day in Udaipur were quite magical.. And everyday brought more highlights. The forts, the temples, the synagogues, the houseboat in Kerala.! We had thought that the visit to the Taj Mahal might be a let-down after all the hype -but it was fabulous.
And we took part in so many things that were fun -our grandchildren cannot believe we rode on a camel! And an elephant! The dancing! And we had a very good laugh in the Bollywood Movie!
The weather was glorious throughout the trip and the hotels were all lovely. The group was larger than we expected and it was nice to meet so many people. And the group was very friendly so we think Claire and Shoshana felt very much included.
We had expected that the longer coach journeys would be tedious -but the coach was comfortable, the driver was excellent and it felt like we were in a different world as we watched the beautiful scenery, the amazing wildlife and the incredibly colourful scenes in every village and town we passed through. It was exhilarating! And when we were walking around people were so friendly. And we loved seeing the wedding processions -and becoming part of them!
We would love to go back to India and see more places! Please let us know if you have other itineraries planned.
Lee was a very likable, interesting guide with so many stories and looked after the group very well. Prem was so efficient, calm, and pleasant and made sure that everything ran smoothly. And he helped Mendy so much organising the food. And there was plenty of food/food choice throughout.
Thank you again,
Best wishes,
Janice and Anthony.
