Well planned and customised the iternary as per our Requirement. Enjoyed our first Europe trip of 11 days (Paris & Switzerland). Through out involvement of staff to create a hasle free journey. Madhur for booking, Subash for in between planning, live support during travel by Selina, Taniya, Janani and many more. Only thing i would like to suggest that inclusion and exclusion should be notified through call at the time of booking. Not like 3 days before travel. So customer should have choice of selection either to go for it or not. Overall it was a Perfect Experience. Thank u everyone.
