The people, tours and organization on the ground was great. The administration of services need improvement, received conflicting information from different representative at different times.

The actual tour in India and Nepal was good. The tour guides were all great. The hotels were good. The lack of communication, and late communication from Vacations by Rail was disappointing and I will probably not travel with them again. We should have been informed that the tour was originating from England and been referred over to Great Rails Journey to be included in the tour group from the start. We were listed as independent travelers and so did not have airport transfers to the hotel upon arrival and departure. We would have flown to London and joined the group there if we had been informed prior. Very disappointed. It took multiple phone calls to receive, or not receive, answers to questions concerning travel, hotel stay for night we arrived, among other things. Lack of knowledge or training of your staff? Lin, the tour director from London, was super and treated us all together. We should have been told that the flights in Nepal had all been revoked, which added a lot of travel time, basically taking up 2 days of the trip. Some of the events need to be switched. The morning sunrise trip on the Ganges should have been done before the Ganges cruise in the evening to see the "fire" ceremony. The slide show and talk about Chitwan should have been done the first night and the dance performance the second night. The information from the slide show would have been helpful before our jeep safari and the boat ride over to see the crocodile program. Not sure why the jeep safari was in the middle of the afternoon. Usually these are done in the early morning or late afternoon (at least that is my experience in Africa's parks).
