点评:We just got back from a trip of a lifetime in South India that was developed and accomplished with the assistance of Praveen (Hidden Gems Tours). We utilized Hidden Gems Tours exclusively for 12 days, with Praveen as our guide and his excellent drivers. We have traveled the world for over 30 years and utilized many excellent guides, but Praveen was by far the best. His knowledge, passion, and attention to the details needed to allow a traveler to feel safe, comfortable, and like family are 2nd to none. The trip included both Bangalore and Mysore and was awesome. Some of the highlights included receiving blessings at both Hindu and Jain temples carved out of stone and thousands of years old, mounting an elephant, bareback, at the Mysore Palace, doing the pottery wheel with the family potter in one of the small villages on the way to a coffee plantation tour, taking a boat ride at a remote bird sanctuary (side by side with the crocodiles), walking through gardens and groves that housed tree specimens from all over the world that were over 300 years old, and many authentic South Indian meals with Praveen. An amazing time was had with Praveen, who helped create these memories that will be cherished forever. To say I highly recommend him is an understatement. He truly is the best at what he does!
翻译:我们刚刚结束了在南印度的一次毕生难忘的旅行,这次旅行是在 Praveen (Hidden Gems Tours) 的协助下完成的。我们专程选择了 Hidden Gems Tours 的 12 天行程,Praveen 担任我们的导游,他的司机也非常出色。我们环游世界超过 30 年,聘用过许多优秀的导游,但 Praveen 绝对是其中最棒的。他的知识、热情以及对细节的关注,让旅行者感到安全、舒适,就像家人一样,这些品质无与伦比。这次旅行包括班加罗尔和迈索尔,非常棒。行程亮点包括在数千年历史的印度教和耆那教石雕寺庙接受祝福;在迈索尔宫体验无鞍骑象;在前往咖啡种植园的途中,在一个小村庄里与当地陶艺家一起体验陶轮制作;在偏远的鸟类保护区乘船游览(与鳄鱼并肩而立);漫步于种植着来自世界各地超过300年树龄树木的花园和树林;以及与Praveen一起享用地道的南印度美食。与Praveen共度的时光令人难忘,他帮助我创造了这些值得永远珍藏的回忆。说我强烈推荐他,一点也不夸张。他真的是他领域里的佼佼者!
