(Written on 22 Mar, 2025)

What's Good: Overall planning was good. but execution needs further improvement. We had slight hitches here and there with respect to hotel arrangements. The conveyance arranged was fine and th (Read More)e driver was skilled and well mannered, though slightly lacking in punctuality. The tour organisers were very cordial, polite and receptive to our suggestions. One suggestion is for the tour operator to coordinate with the hotels and detail the plans before the guests arrive so that no confusion arises at the reception counter on arrival. Overall I will give a rating of 8/10
