    My family and I were very happy with the services from Experience Kart. My father was sick and could not attend the tour with my mum, myself and my son. However Karthik From ExperienceKart was very informative, helpful, kind and very professional in the tour. And we enjoyed our tour very much. We also love our goody bag of snacks and drinks too. I highly recommend this tour to everyone and excellent work from ExperienceKart.
