    The tour was great and Amit our tour contact person did an excellent job in organising/bookings and whilst on tour was regularly checking to see everything was ok. We felt reassuring and safe. Our driver Saji was a very good/safe driver. Very kind, polite with very good spoken English which made easier to communicate. All the local tour guides provided at each of the visited locations were good. I will definitely recommend the company to my friends and relations who may wish to tour India.
