Best Travel Company in jaisalmerPosted on megumiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. フォート、ハヴェリ観光をアレンジしてもらいました。ハイシーズンだったのですごい人混みでしたが、主要どころは抑えられました。冬に訪れる予定の人は、時間に余裕を持ってゆっくり観光を組んでもらったらよいと思います。Posted on Jan PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Kamal enough for the wonderful custom tour he organized for 7 days in Rajasthan with our kind and lovely driver Sandeep. I had written to over a dozen agencies, but Kamal’s quick and courteous response, flexibility and availability amazed me before we even got started. We had a brand new car and all the hotel recommendations were outstanding, and just as homely, simple and quirky as we had hoped. When things went wrong, Kamal was always available via WhatsApp to help - and apart from that payment was the easiest with him. Delightful India Holidays aspires to give a family experience and I have to say we really felt like friends all the way through, and saying goodbye was a heartful and bittersweet moment. I cannot recommend Kamal enough and I am looking forward to come back.
