Traveler Stories
What Our Guests Say
"Thanks for organizing a wonderful trip. When we travel we enjoy seeing as much as possible and your guides were great at packing in so many amazing sites. All the guides were good careful drivers which is amazing on the crazy India roads. Suresh, who was our guide in Mahabalipuram and Chennai, was especially good at explaining the places we were going and some of the history. In Sri Lanka we really liked Mr. Bandara. He was not only a great driver, but he came with us into all the sites and acted as a very knowledgeable tour guide. He even climbed the 1,200 steps up the rock at Sigiriya with us. He also had great suggestions of things to see beyond what was on the itinerary, such as the boat ride on the Madu River and a visit to a temple inside a cave. All the hotels were great. We especially loved the one in Mahabalipuram where we could swim in two pools and walk on the beach. Thank you for being flexible and adding Sigiriya to our itinerary. It was one of the highlights of our trip. We are so happy to have a travel agent like you that is so responsive and planned such an awesome adventure for us."
