Mr Arun is very good..always gave us fast response and flexible to what we need....highly recommended 5 stars for the company. The reason for not 5 star is the tour itself: some of the guide that we had...not really know all the facts of places we visited and also some of the Hotel which really is not the company false...bcs he did ask us that they're OK to book.. not clean hotel..The tour itself is as we expected to see except for too many beggars everywhere and almost like everyone there always asked for money bcs you're foreigners...and sometimes got swamped of this nuisance almost unbearable to visit the sacred sites..such ashamed...especially you can see that they only bother you not the locals.
