We were happy Jitender took the trouble to come and meet us at the airport and hotel,
He has organised our trip with changes all the time. A great job, very pleased and won’t hesitate to organise another journey through him.
We would have preferred our guides/ drivers to ask us about going to a particula (Read More)r shop that sells prior to stopping there.
Also a hotel should have a cold fridge that doesn’t turn off when the hotel card is removed the room.
