Prompt and knowledgable of many areas and things to do. We felt like our requests were heard and they went above and beyond to provide a mixture of plans for our budget.
Sangita was amazing. She was always available by phone if needed and we felt no hesitation to be in contact. She listened to exactly what we asked for and got it right. All the people we met that worked with her were very trustworthy and honest. I would recommend her and all the people she works with. It was a very personal and well managed trip.
