    Jenny was an amazing guide and the -chauffer-guide combo of Jenny and Deepak was amazing. We messed up our booking dates and Viator along with the local partner were not only helpful, customer service was a class. Between Jenny, Deepak, Viator and their local partners they made the tour memorable.
