OUR PARTNERS SPEAK

Art of Travel, Germany

It happens very seldom that a DMC and a tour operator like us can create such an excellent partnership from the very first day of the cooperation. For more than 20 years we are working in the German speaking countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland to cover the needs of the luxury travelers. After a long search, with Mona Kapoor and Indian Vistas we found not just a professional partner but a person who has the same passion and understanding of luxury tourism as we do. But at the end of the day our clients decide whether a cooperation is successful or not. And we are proud to say our guests always return happy, not only because of India’s beauty and incredible sights, but because of the warm welcome and the careful handling they experience by Mona and her team. In all these years we did not have a single complaint from our clients’ side. If a problem occurs, Mona and her team are always on standby to solve everything right away. So we know if the clients arrive in India, passing immigration and customs they are in the best hands.

Martin Randall Travel, UK

Martin Randall Travel has entrusted Indian Vistas with the operation our innovative tours to India since their launch in 2012. Mona and her dedicated team offer a reassuringly personal level of service which is professionally executed; their assistance in the initial planning stages is as invaluable as the support provided on the ground during the tour. It is a true partnership.

Mona has always strived to understand our company ethos and needs of our travellers. This attitude, coupled with her team’s extensive knowledge, means we are always happy to recommend Indian Vistas to our clients for additional services pre- and post- tour.

Karen Stone Talwar, Adventures in Art, USA

This past January we were asked to lead a tour for private collectors to my favorite haunts: Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur and Mumbai.    Our clients wanted the best of the best, and Mona delivered beyond expectations:  helping us think through our itinerary, providing an outstanding guide and transportation, as well as thoughtful behind-the-scenes additions.  She is extremely well organized and stands ready to help at any moment.  Our experience in a word: seamless!

What a pleasure it was for me and my team to work with Mona Kapoor and Indian Vistas!

Our company provide small group, global, luxury, culinary and cultural tours. I knew from my initial conversation with Mona that she understood the sort of itinerary I wanted to provide for my clients for our Indian tour. Mona and her team offered suggestions that were perfect for our clients. All correspondence was prompt from the quoting process to fine tuning the itinerary. The level of service was second to none in all areas. The quality of our accommodation and our culinary experiences are excellent. Logistics such as train, private bus and four flights were dealt with in a seamless manner. Nothing was a problem, and all small requests were dealt with promptly.  Mona, Mohinder and Indian Vistas exceeded my expectations for our tour. Our clients felt incredibly well looked after.  I look forward to working with Indian Vistas again for our next tour.

India Yatra 2019 was an exceptional experience for all of us and a huge thank you to you and your team and Ranjeet for making this. Things worked out to plan and I was very impressed by cars, guides being there on time and no nasty surprises. So well done on coordinating this. I am sure there are lots of people behind the scenes who helped and a big thank you to the entire team. I have confidence that we will do more future yatras together.

Mona you should be very proud of yourself, I know you are in the business for a long time and have done this many times, but I see your professionalism, attention to detail, your company values in the way things happened to plan.. so kudos to you.

Dear Mona,

Thank you for the exceptional and dedicated care. Your governance turned this holiday from beautiful to remarkable.

Ever indebted,

Thomas Rom USA February 2020

Mr & Mrs. Walser sent feedback today. They were so very happy with the tour and amazing job by the tour guide and excellent driver. They felt very honoured that you met with them. Everything was perfect and they loved it. They felt perfectly understood in all their needs and expectations. Thank you so much for all your effort. This was challenging but now feels even better that the guests had such a wonderful experience.

Maren of Art of Travel on behalf of Mr. Walser Germany February 2020

Dear Mona,

Thank you very much for your professionalism. Because of you your recommendations and suggestions, we spent an amazing time in India. Hope to see you again because we would like to come back to your incredible country. It has been a fabulous trip.

Genevieve Deprez X 7 France February 2020

Mona   A sincere thanks to you and your excellent team for making our very recently completed trip to India probably the best trip/adventure my wife and I have ever had. The confidence we had that we would be met at the airports was very comforting. The guides were outstanding and we felt a personal connection to each one. Your sixth sense of what a perfect itinerary would be for us was correct. We experienced the sights and sounds of India even beyond our expectations. Of course we will send anyone we know who wants to visit India to you

Regards,

Larry Hellring USA December 2019

We had a fabulous time in India which we will never forget. Thank you for an amazing time and all your effort. An absolutely amazing experience for both of us. We are hoping to come back soon.

Minoo Atraki UK November 2019

What a wonderful and memorable trip:  well-paced and balanced, which clearly had been carefully thought through – particularly with the break at Ranthambhore in the middle The varying modes of travel provided time to relax, see the countryside; just chill, as a family on the bus. I was relieved we flew Delhi to Jaisalmer, rather than the longer train trip – on reflection, one train trip is enough. A privilege to have consistently felt one met such interesting, knowledgeable, and good people though our guides and tour exposure.

I would highly recommend Indian Vistas: everything ran so smoothly and seamlessly thanks to excellent planning and good communication at the different stages. We were very touched and grateful for the little thoughtful touches along the way: the welcome pack including beautiful book of Rajasthan; the special treats for Jesse’s birthday; the crisps; sweeties and water on the bus trips. Thanks for an absolutely superb holiday. We will be back for more

Barbara Thompson UK December 2019

Absolutely superb trip. Will recommend to all my friends and family.

Logistics excellent throughout, always felt cared for. Detailed tour description very useful during the trip.

Design of trip was excellent – good balance, variety and not overly busy. Everyone responsive to requests for adjustments. Happy that local guides given authority to vary order of program to maximize the experience. Always seemed to have the best guides.

Excellent food recommendations throughout, although Peshawari at ITC Mughal overpriced in comparison to others.

Superb hotels, representatives, guides and drivers. Huge variety in modes of transport. Thoughtful starter pack, with good documentation and information provided. Pleasant surprise to receive the diary, incense, tea, bag, Rajasthan book and other gifts.

Stuart Mathews UK December 2019

Dear Mona,

Just to say thank you for organising out trip. The guides and drivers were all fantastic and it was really helpful to have a rep in each spot. The hotels were lovely, and the food was delicious.

We have now been vegetarian for nearly 2 weeks which we would never do in the UK. I have to say that the roads were terrifying with cows sauntering across the highway, but you get used to it. Thanks again!

Lucy & Alfredo Bello UK October 2019

A very personalised service. There were no hiccups, and all went smoothly. Representatives on the ground were on the ball and we felt very well taken care of. The package was exactly what we were looking for with hotels in Jaisalmer and Jodhpur exceeding our expectations.

We had a great holiday and a very memorable experience. Please pas on our thanks to your team who were excellent.

Lorraine Gonsalves Australia Sept 2019

Hello Mona

We write to express our complete satisfaction with the holiday to India arranged by Out of Office in Partnership with Indian Vistas. In particular the personal service we received from Sarah Smith and yourself. Our bespoke holiday met all expectations. The hotels chosen were of a very high standard and a number were exceptional. The private drivers and tour guides were highly professional in their roles and added to the overall experience. The local guides were knowledgeable and delivered the Ancient and Modern history in a clear and understandable format. Their enthusiasm was clearly evident. The skills of the drivers were second to none.  A special mention to Naval Bhalgria, our driver from Delhi to Udaipur, who was exceptional in the service he provided. The service from our arrival at Delhi Airport to our departure 20 days later from Mumbai was seamless. We were amazed that at no time did we need to concern ourselves with conveyance between airport, hotel and throughout the whole tour. The itinerary arranged was special. Everything we asked for was delivered and we were supported with anything additional as we progressed on our tour. India is magnificent. We wanted a holiday of a lifetime; it was delivered completely.  It was an emotional departure, but there is no doubt a return journey will be made. We would have no hesitation in recommending Out of Office and Indian Vistas, they ensured our holiday was PERFECT.

Thank you.


Donald Macleod & Mark Bowell UK August 2019

Dear Mona,

We are home again so I am sending you this quick email to thank you for our wonderful tour! Thank you also for the gifts and for organising for us to have Krishendu and Vinod as guide and driver. It was great to see them again and they were as good as ever.

We will certainly be in touch with you when we are planning our next Indian visit.

Regards

Wendy and Richard Dundas Australia April 2018

Dear Mona,

The very professional/discreet execution of my travelling plan by your good-self and your team during my stay in India. It couldn’t have been better organized incl. Ranjeet’s attendance at the beginning and/or end of my trip and it enhanced the overall impression I had on my first trip to India.

Trust that every friend and/or acquaintance who shall be travelling to India shall be given your company and/or personal details so that you can take care of them as well as you did for me. You and your team have passed the test for demanding clientele and/or VHNI and believe me, apart from being a veteran in the hospitality industry, I have seen a lot of your colleagues at work and your company deserves outstanding credit.

Lastly, there is not very much more to write than what has already been said during our lovely dinner at your house. We will surely be in touch and in the meanwhile I wish you lots of success.

With kind regards

Chrys Germany February 2018

Hi Mona!

We are on our way home and wanted to say one last time thanks for an incredible trip. Naru & Mukesh were delightful and we loved all the spots they took us to, their incredible knowledge and overwhelming warmth. We especially loved Particularly Rambagh Palace, Bar Palladio and Anokhi! Jas was the absolute best and we felt privileged to get to spend our adventure with him. Thanks for all your hard work and planning, friends are already asking for our itinerary that we will be sending your way!

Thanks again,

Logan Blake & Alex Osberg USA February 2018

Mona,

As 2017 slowly fades into history, the highlight of our year was partnering with you to have one of our most memorable international trips ever. We have shared our photos and told the stories to countless friends and families over the past several months. We can barely scratch the surface of what we saw, experienced and savored. We have several friends who have become curious about what a trip for them with the guidance you provided us might look like. We can’t compliment you enough and hope some of them in time will take the leap to move forward to have a trip of a lifetime.

We wish you and your family the best of wishes for the New Year and, who knows, perhaps our paths will cross again.

Warmly,

Susan & Andrew Stirrat USA November 2017

Dear Mona,

It is almost two months since returning from India. Yet, the memories of our trip remain vivid for both Jeff and I. Thanks again for all the attention that you personally gave to our trip and securing that our excursions in India were enjoyable and filled with many aspects of India’s culture. We were absolutely pleased with Indian Vistas. Attached, please see our review.

We look forward to visiting India again and explore the many other cultural treasures that India has to offer. In the meantime, we wish you and your staff a Happy and Healthy New Year. Please give our regards to Mr. Akbar.All the best in 2018,

Carlos Dorta USA October 2017

Hi Mona,

Just wanted to commend you on a very enjoyable trip we had. The highlight of the trip was our driver Akbar Hussain, who drove safely, was so polite and accommodating (we asked him to send us to a local market for shopping and he found us a suitable place where we enjoyed ourselves a lot). Our guide in Agra, Mukesh was full of knowledge and passion for his city, and he was looking after us a lot. We felt safe.

The mini bus was excellent and a luxury. We will be happy to travel with you again and please send our thanks to Akbar, his assistant and Mukesh for our wonderful experience.

Regards

Stella Teo Singapore August 2017

Dear Mona,

I spent some time with my son in Europe after our vacation in India and have now arrived back home. I cannot thank you enough for creating the perfect holiday for us. Your attention to the smallest details made our visit carefree and immensely enjoyable. It was an experience of a lifetime. Both Samson and I are anxious to visit India again. We especially enjoyed Amritsar and the Punjab.

We were fortunate to have made acquaintance with and been so well looked after by driver Sarab Gill Singh. His positive attitude plus love and knowledge of his country make him very special. I would be remiss if I did not add that he is an excellent and safe driver as well. I have given Indian Vistas a well-deserved 5-star rating. Thank you again for all your efforts.

Best Regards,

Valarie Stimpson USA July 2017

Dear Mona,

Just a short note to thank you for a lovely vacation and all the personal care and attention that you showed us throughout.T’was a pleasure working / travelling with you. I’ll definitely contact you for our next Indian excursion.

Best personal regards.

Bill Eggleston Switzerland March 2017

Dear Mona,

We arrived home safely back in D.C., just as the snow storm was starting on the Eastern US Coast. We were very lucky!

I just wanted to thank you again for all you and your colleagues did to make our visit to India such a magical carpet ride! We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and thanks to you, the arrangements were flawless. Our driver, Manoj was top of the line, and all of your representatives and guides were excellent. We will definitely recommend your company to friends without hesitation.

Thanks again so very much for all the special touches. Wishing you continued success in your personal and professional endeavors.

Fondly,

Cathy and Danilo Cardona USA March 2017

Dear Mona,

Our trip was fantastic, all so easy because of all the hard work from your side, thank you. Your country is beautiful and we have caught the bug and will come back with our children, hopefully soon!

All your guides were passionate and knowledgeable, had a good sense of what we'd like! I really loved the curated tour in Jodhpur, oh wow, that was amazing!

Our driver needed to be scolded once about his rather fast driving and after that he was great! No need to scold him again!

We will be in touch with you about our next trip to India.

Regards

Mechthild Kuppers-Kantor USA March 2017

Dear Sanjay and Mona,

We wanted to thank you for arranging such a fabulous trip for us. We enjoyed every minute of it. The guides, hotels and drivers were excellent. We were delighted that we could see Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra, but we were also thrilled that we could visit some places off the beaten track - Mathura, Bharatpur, and the magnificent Keoladeo bird sanctuary.

When Peter was hospitalized, we assumed that our trip to India was ruined, but you truly did a wonderful job of reconstructing it.

Our Sanjay, thanks for arranging the wheelchair with United. It was a big help. We've mentioned you to some friends who are thinking of visiting India, and, of course, we will contact you if we decide to come to India again.

Many thanks!
