Mr.Raj the guide is by far the best of all yours we have taken in India. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the history of India and in particular the many historic buildings of Shimla and presented this knowledge in such a charming way that it was accessible to all and constantly engaging.

Raj did an exceptional job carefully and clearly explaining so much history of Shimla. We were able to visit inside of several places and he answered our many questions with ease. He also was not pushing us to go quickly and took extra time with us. The communication before and after was clear as well. This is excellent customer service! Highly recommended!
