I am happy to have engaged Travel India 360 for our tour to Mumbai, Shridi and Varanasi. We were provided with comfortable cars and ever friendly drivers too. Its worthwhile to mention that although w (Read More)e had booked only 1 vehicle for 5 persons, prior to the trip for our long road journey Mr Raghav provided 2 vehicles to ensure that we travel comfortably especially since it involved long hours on the road. The drivers were genuinely nice, gave us useful advise and recommendations along the way. Mr Raghav had personally met us in Varanasi and extended his guidance during our stay, took us to all the places we needed to see. He was quick to rectify little hiccups along the way. It was extremely kind of him to provide us with better rooms than what we had booked initially. You don't often come across travel companies that go out of their way to check on you regularly during the tour, and that's precisely the type of service we got from Mr Raghav. He is also pleasant and friendly man. Much appreciated. I would definitely engage Travel India 360 services again. Thank you for everything Raghav. best regards, Renuka, Kuala Lumpur
