Ayush from Super Travels was assigned to us for our travel request to Croatia. W (Read More)hat we best like about him was he understood our expectation in first discussion and shared well planned itinerary as we had required. Entire trip was well planned by him and worth the money. He always agreed to make any customization we needed starting from hotel to day tours. During the trip also we needed some changes in transport, which he did without any issues.
He was always available to answer the queries and support, be it before or during the trip. Day trips booked were really good especially the Game of Thrones & Plitvice National Park tour.
We did not had any issues during the trip as everything was well taken care of by Ayush, we just had an amazing holiday and great fun ?
I have tried booking via travel companies before and was never happy. Would definetely recommend Super Travels though for planning the trip.
