Great Rail has done it again! Another fabulous holiday. Everything I could have wished for. The service of our Tour Manager was first rate, especially when we had to relocate to another hotel in Darjeeling at very short notice. The work she put in to ensuring a great adventure was deeply appreciated by all. Thanks also to the team at GR who put together the itinerary - whilst we added a few excursions when time permitted, I really felt that they had given us the best insight, especially in Bhutan. Keep both the Tour Guides as well - excellent friendly service, imparting as much knowledge as they could. You are a great company GR, thanks are not enough, but I highly recommend you whenever there is an opportunity.

Brilliant holiday of so many contrasts. Superb organisation with excellent Tour Manager and first rate local guides. A great range of experiences. Top class hotels, food and travel arrangements. Recommend without hesitation.

This was a great opportunity to visit a country (Bhutan) not well known to Westerners, but which is fascinating, beautiful, tranquil, calm, historic, supportive etc etc. The tour guide and (particularly) the local guides were absolutely excellent and managed our admittance into several festivals that re almost unknown to overseas travellers. The contrast with India made for a most rewarding and stimulating experience.

A really interesting visit to two totally different countries - from the hustle and bustle of Kolkata to the genteel colonial area of Darjeeling to the serenity of Bhutan. All the guides were very knowledgeable and our Tour Manager Anne kept everything running smoothly.

A most memorable trip.The guides we had were committed and knowledgeable. The Bhutanese guides were sweet and most sincere with a great love of there country and hope for the future Anne Forrest was superb----- professional, outgoing and supportive. My only disappointment was that we only really saw into the life of one village.It had superb craftsmen working there but we were rushed through it. Maybe one temple less and one village more ----with time to spend in it.
