background. William is a citizen of Canada and a former Canadian Navy Petty

What is a tour facilitator?
Hawkeye India is not a tour operator. The firm acts as an interface between
foreign visitors to India and providers of tour-related services. In short,
the firm conceives a tour package, arranges details with its network of tour
operators, recruits the tourists, and accompanies them on the tour to ensure
quality. Being experienced in the business ways of India, the firm negotiates
with local tour operators to ensure a proper balance between rates charged and
quality of services rendered.
Linda and William – the principals of Hawkeye – are experienced
international travelers and are therefore coherent in the requirements of
discerning Western tourists. The firm has established a tried and tested team
of associated tour operators in all parts of India. These associate agencies
understand that Hawkeye will not compromise when it comes to quality and/or
safety.
