We would like to thank you for the wonderful trip that you had organised for us. Everyone in the team liked the resort, food, location and other facilities provided to us. The journey was also comfortable. Bus driver and the conductor both behaved well through out the trip which made us feel safe at all times. Jeep Safari, elephant joy ride and other activities were as good as we wanted them to be.
Initially we faced a little discomfort when we came to know that for some reason hotel management transferred us to a different hotel however the new arrangements were also good. Going forward such type of confusions must be avoided and there should be a clear /confirmed itinerary in place.
Overall it was a nice experience and the arrangement done by you is much appreciated.
