Memorable trip

Couldn’t have been better as we were having Moaz to drive us who was well versed with the places and being from Pakistan we had some indian music to share with and easy to relate with our language. Feel when it’s a non English place of travel a combination of this kind will surely help.

It would be important to have...

It would be important to have a suggestion of a route to follow, at the times of visits, when we are without the driver, to better take advantage of the details. Please note that on Sundays most shops will be closed. The sending of the driver's location by whatsapp and/or email should be standardized to facilitate departures. In the description of the package it would be interesting to inform the suggested departure times of each place visited.
