Every attraction was just amazing. It was one the best experiences of my life. I cherished every moment of this trip especially when we were taken to the roaring camp.
Eda
We had a wonderful trip and it was a great time spent on these 3 days stay. All I wanted was like I had never experienced before and I loved every moment of it. These days were amazing. It was never boring and we cheered every visit as all the places were magnificent. Time and again it was fabulous and the places we visited, stayed and the bus we traveled, everything was perfect. No room for complaints. I now want to go more on such trips so that I visit more places and everything is really good. I give 5 stars.
Porab Sharma
I liked the tour of 3 days and though I went alone on this tour, it was enjoyable. I was not disturbed and I had the last seat all for myself. I was like a kind celebrating my place and the only problem was that my back ached after the tour as I was in the last seat taking the pressure of the bus ride. Next time I will book early and consider middle or front seat and definitely not the last seat. This was a great experience to see the beautiful place, the driver and the tour guide were cheerful and good.
Kshitij
This is such a wonderful experience. Los Angeles if my favorite city and exploring the city in this way was a whole new experience for me.
Rajiv
They need to improve more. There is certainly room for a lot of improvement and I am sure that they will consider improving at some point. If they improve, they can be the best.
