I can't say enough about Ravi and how responsive he was to our every need! Given the 12 hour time difference between Colorado and India, it was amazing how quickly he responded to emails. Because our trip focused on our grandson's wedding, this was a somewhat complicated itinerary but Ravi handled it flawlessly. We also very much enjoyed Kevin, who met our flight and welcomed us to India and made sure everything went smoothly. We give high marks to kim kim!
Dear Gloria,
Thank you so much for your kind words!
It was truly a pleasure assisting you with this special trip for your grandson’s wedding. I’m very glad to hear everything went smoothly and that the itinerary worked well for you. I’ll also pass along your appreciation to Kevin, he’ll be very happy to hear it.
Your feedback means a lot, and I’m grateful you chose to travel with us. Looking forward to helping you again whenever you plan your next visit to India!
Warm Regards
