“Alla våra guider var både kunniga och hjälpsamma. Vi hade en guide per stad; Delhi, Agra och Jaipur. Vår förare körde oss hela vägen och var väldigt tillmötesgående. Lätt att ha kontakt med researrangören hela tiden via Whats app. I Rantambore hade jag önskat att någon berättat mer för oss om själva reservatet, om tigrarna osv, men det kan inte denna arrangör ansvara för utan det var guiderna inne i parken som behövt göra det. Tack för en bra tur!”

Sultanpur is a nice bird sanctuary an easy hour or so drive from Delhi so is a really nice way to get out of town and see some native Indian birds while you are staying in Delhi.”
