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.
