I booked with Daytripper about 6 weeks before I went, I found that when I used the enquiry form they didn't seem to get it but once I started using their email address it was fine. Address is : info@daytrippergoa.com

I did the trip with my son to Delhi-Agra-Ramthanbore-Jaipur. Including Ramthambore was probably a mistake - 6 hours in a car to get there on shocking roads and 4.5 hours back, the park itself was a little disappointing re range of wildlife we saw, but saying that we saw parts of rural India we would never have seen otherwise and the memories will be with me always.

If you do make this trip - they will say take a fleece. Take more than that there was ice on the ground when we set off for the early morning safari - it was freezing. Also probably worth paying a bit more and going to the better hotels, the cheaper ones were fine, but they were not in areas you would feel comfortable wandering about in. I'm only guessing the more expensive hotels were in better areas, I may be wrong.

I was also told that it would have been a lot cheaper if I'd paid for my own Spicejet flights and then booked the rest of the tour with a tour oeprator from Delhi (as they were responsible for you from arrival in Delhi to return to Delhi in any case) but paying the extra did give me peace of mind.

I would recommend venturing out from Goa though, it really is an eye opener and totally different.

I am stil having real trouble getting contact with anyone to get my trips booked - I have called and asked to speak to Eddie and was told by a girl to re send email before she hung up - I have sent an email at least 3 times without response ....

Does anyone have a mobile number for Eddie or have a trip booked with him soon to ask him to mail me ??

Thanks

Thanks Irishman - but I only wanted to do local trips in Goa, but have had no reply from daytripper or Johnstours - and as I am travelling on my own I was hoping to do some organised trips rather than just get a taxi.

Will have to just keep trying

Just been checking the latest on the two broken undersea internet cables that have been severed in the Med off Egypt. The first of two repair ships started work on Tues. 5th Feb and it is expected to take a week to fix. It has disrupted internet services to India, I expect this explains the lack of communication with the likes of Daytripper. I booked up a big trip myself with Eddie about 10 days ago by email, and I know he's good at replying to them. Alan

ok thanks - will just have to stick it out and hope he gets my email soon

other guys i have emailed in goa have responded just not day tripper - oh well .... thanks anyway

In case anyone is trying to contact Eddie it seems he is back up and running again, I have just had a reply to an e-mail I sent earlier in the year with an enquiry.

me ive had a reply,could never understand why he cant respond to emails out of season .

he told us he come home to yorkshire out of season liz

but surely they have internet access for emails in yorkshire by now

yeswe do les , just

Eddie has a holiday like the rest of us - he has been round Spain in his campervan so can't see him having internet connection there.

He is in Goa now getting his office ready - gave him a wave this morning.
