About Us

Darjeeling Tours has been running railway themed tours to India for over five years and has recently expanded its programme to include New Zealand, France and Colorado. We’ve developed an enviable reputation for our series of successful tours to India and, in particular, to delivering what is promised – and more!  The company is owned and operated by Peter Jordan, Linda Jordan, Sarah Thompson and Clive Thompson.

Peter (“Fuzz”)

Giving up his “day job” as an accountant, Peter founded Darjeeling Tours in 2003 after running his first Indian tour for the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Society in 1999 – and has run most of the tours since then. He’s a real expert on all things Indian (particularly the railways) having travelled there regularly for the last 25 years! Fuzz says "Since I first visited the country in 1979, the colour, the atmosphere and the railways of India have always ensured that a further visit was necessary: India's like that - there is always a reason for another visit. The people are so friendly and the sights so remarkable that each day brings something new and exciting. It's a privilege to introduce others to the magic of India, and Darjeeling's Railway in particular.".

Sarah

As well as being a Tour Manager, Sarah handles all of DTL’s marketing, including advertising, customer communications, newsletters and the website content. She’s visited many countries including India (where she and Clive spent three months travelling around the country by train), New Zealand, Australia, China, South Africa, Canada, USA, Hawaii, Bali, France, Belgium and Holland. Not afraid to get her hands dirty, Sarah also worked on the Severn Valley Railway in the permanent way department – as the only girl – she says it was good for keeping fit! Sarah says, “I’m really looking forward to meeting you on one of our trips – and developing more tours to interesting destinations…let us know if there’s somewhere you’d really like to visit or if you’ve got any feedback for us…”

Clive

Clive’s been involved in developing our fantastic New Zealand tour and will be Tour Manager on this trip in November 2007. Clive was President of Steam Incorporated, a steam preservation society based near Wellington in New Zealand and is a keen railway enthusiast, having also worked on the Severn Valley Railway as a volunteer for almost 20 years – as a fireman and on the permanent way

Keith Froom

Keith has been interested in railways for as long as he can remember, and has served as Chairman of the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum. He has travelled widely in the Indian sub-continent, not only in India but also in Pakistan and Nepal. His interest in railways, and love of India, make Darjeeling Tours a natural "home" for him.
