He was extremely taking care of us both during and after tour till be back homebooking new flights and changing ousightseeing. He also personally met us at the airport and facilitated transfers to our hotel in Delhi. Our guides for both cities and driver for the trip were also very helpful and always punctual. Conveyance arranged was also comfortable. We found Sulekha tours to be a good fit for our traveling party of 6 and would definitely recommend them. All hotels were 4+ star rated and the guides are well knowledgeable and very fluent in English. They have provided well history of each places before we entered into the monuments. The drivers are also very pleasant and very punctual and went with us without any complaints. I will recommend Sulekha Tours for anyone who wants customised tour wherever is needed.

We planned the tour as we wished. Piyush and Karishma were in easy contact all the time. They let us choose the places to go each day and the drivers were really flexible, specially our Kerala's drive (Read More)r, Abdul, who was excellent. The hotels were fine. You need to take in mind that the 4 stars hotels in India aren't the same than in the west countries. You can find dirty sheets and uncleaned bathrooms or expect to sleep in a mattress over the floor in a double room (when you expect triple accommodation). That happenned to us in some of the hotels. We had other minor issues but Piyush helped us to fix them. So, if you want to travel to India with comfort and if you need to save time, I recommend you this agency that also have very good prices.
