Unforgettable tour

15-Jul-2020

We were introduced to Mithun by a friend for Agra and Mathura trip. We found the cost to be quite nominal. What we did not expect was a driver who was hell bent on providing the best service to his customers at the same cost. The trip was amazing. The next day we travelled to Shimla-Kufri. That was even better with Mithun and his uncle "Sanjay sir" giving us a riding like professionals and understanding the occasional "break"needs of people who are traveling with them. We faced a problem that we could not get hotels in our budget but Mithun was able to help us with it as well. Overall a trip we will not forget for a few years.

Fantastic tour

15-Jul-2020

This really was an exceptional trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Our tour was an incredible tailormade. Key to our amazing experience was our incredible driver and guide PRAKASH. Together we covered many thousands of kilometres, taking in Delhi, the major sights of Rajasthan, Agra, Khajuraho and Varanasi. Prakash got to know us quickly and used his 30+ years experience to anticipate our every need. He knew when we'd seen enough temples and suggested a tiger safari. He knew when we needed a massage. He knew when we needed lunch or a loo stop. He found the best, most knowledgeable and friendly local guides. He really knew what we wanted before we did. Prakash was extremely courteous, friendly and helpful throughout. Spending nearly three weeks in a car together with a stranger could be difficult, but Prakash quickly became our big brother and travel guru, sharing his knowledge and experience. The hotels were three star and the beds and bathrooms were always clean and staff extremely helpful. Considering the extent of our trip and the sights and the mileage covered, this was exceptional value for money and an incredible experience.
