    Golden Triangle, India February 2014We have just returned from a tour of the Golden Triangle in India with a group of friends organised by Dany. This was very different to the last holiday she arranged just for the two of us in Mauritius last year but we knew we were in safe hands.Visiting Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Neemrana was a logistical challenge but Dany made it easy by arranging our own minibus and driver to meet us on arrival and stay with us throughout the whole trip. She insisted on a bus with individual seat-belts which was very reassuring. We also had our own guides to show us the sights at each centre. Such personal service meant we learnt so much more of the history and traditions.Dany was very imaginative in her choice of hotels for us ranging from the 5 star Oberoi in Agra with stunning views over the Taj Mahal to a home stay in Jaipur run by distant relatives of the last Maharaja. Clinging to the side of a hill the imposing Fort Palace hotel in Neemrana was a real gem with its unique and sumptuous rooms connected by narrow stepped paths through magnificent gardens.Dany has the rare gift of understanding clients wishes and coming up with ideas that go well beyond expectations.Thanks Dany for making it such a memorable trip.
