Christina and Katie: Rajasthan and Delhi 2007
- "Sam was a great guide, he showed us India as if it was his own home. He
encouraged us to see different places and experience new things which we
would have never been able to do on our own. He combined both tourism
and the Indian lifestyle into our trip - the fact that he spoke Hindi
was a bonus. Sam has a keen interest in knowing the lifestyle of the
places and people he visits. We experienced glimpses of what it would be
like to actually live in India. He took us to a village of farmers in
Rajasthan, who never had tourist visitors before. They shared their
chai with us and showed us their home and animals. We saw a side of
people's lives we would have never had the opportunity to experience, if
not for Sam.
He was also aware of our preferences, budget and time limitations and
gave us his insightful opinions as to which options we should explore.
For example, we had the option of exploring the outskirts of India near
the Pakistani border or to go to the more touristy Agra - he gave us the
pros and cons of both areas and we decided go to Agra. He also prepared
us for what to bring with us: the bed sheet and wipes being the most
useful.
Because of Sam we have a different perspective on traveling, which we
will incorporate into our future traveling adventures!"
