    The travel agent was always available, always answered queries and itinerary well prepared. Hotels varied in quality from good to bad - The Ramada in Indore had blocked sink in bathroom all three days despite requests to repair, Orchha hotel had no hot water at all! Sanchi and Rewa hotels good, Gwal
    ior medium. Driver should be more helpful - eg I am 70 and wife 75, everytime he wants us to walk to where car is parked, won't bring it to us, did not guide us in any way anywhere. Places seen were all worthy and beautiful, the local people very nice Mahakaleshwar and Maihar darshan, Gwalior fort
