Video Testimonials from the travellers.
We were a group with many special requests about our itinerary, side trips, interests. Travel Passion and its guides were so wonderful about listening, understanding and giving us our wonderful experience in and with India…with appreciation and love
Susan and I have enjoyed three trips arranged through Travel Passion Inc.
Each one was a bit different. One was the Tour with the E. Stanley Jones Foundation and that trip visited the Ashram founded by Dr. Jones as well as the traditional sites in Northern India.
Our second trip was with the Gandhi Tour, but Susan wanted to do some extra travel, so you arranged for us to visit the South of India before joining the tour.
Finally, you arranged for a special tour for Susan to view some of the textiles in Northern India.
All of these tours involved full accommodations, expert guides, and all necessary transportation from the time we landed to the time we departed.
Outstanding, high-quality customer-oriented service that attended to our every need and wish. Truly a once in a lifetime adventure.
Thank you.
