The whole team did a great job in planning and organizing the Varanasi trip.
The driver Mr. Vijay was of great help. He made sure we visit and see every tourist attraction and every essence of Varanasi. He guided us , told stories , was always ready according to our convenience and I must add very punctual man. Always before time we never had to wait. He seemed very well versed about the city and its ways. I will recommend him to everyone. He made our vacation worth while.
The company representative were also very precise. The tour guide Mr. Bharat for Sarnath was good. I believe the tour for Sarnath could have been better compared to other tourist attraction. But nevertheless he gave his best.
All over a wonderful vacation with my mother we both enjoyed a lot. Once again thank you so much Mr. Vijay for your hard work and efforts. All the very best for your endeavours.
