We had a brilliant 14 days driving around Rajasthan and seeing the sights. Our driver was excellent, he was funny, helpful and we felt safe in the crazy Indian traffic. It’s quite a bit of driving but the car was great, really comfortable and well equipped. Our guides were knowledgable and really added value to our trip. I can’t recommend this company enough.
