I had booked Car for Shimla-Kullu-Manali-Dharmshala-Dalhousie-Amritsar tour from Delhi in Last week of January.The service is professional. During the tour my journey was comfortable as the car driver Mr.Rakesh Thakur was pro in driving on Himachal roads. Being a Himachal resident he knew exactly which route to take, where to go where not to go based on wheather conditions, which was very important as the tour was during snowy winter. We look forward to hiring him again on our next visit.

My husband and I had a wonderful tour to Rajasthan and the trip would not have been half so good without the excellent professional help of our driver/guide Rakesh Thakur. Not only was Rakesh very knowledgeable, he was a superb driver and in the chaos that is driving in India we always felt completely safe.
We can’t recommend him highly enough.
