“Did not go with Ketan”
Ketan was not available for our tour so we went with someone he recommended. I was not happy with our tour guide, however Ketan was very helpful in the messages we exchanged. I don't recommend going with someone else if it happens to you.

“Fantastic Guide - abolutely recommed!”
We had a fantastic time with Ketan. He was well prepared, very knowledge as well as flexible to accommodate any of our wishes. He helped us navigate through food challenges, allowing us to taste some amazing food, while also keeping us safe. His English is absolute fluent and he was able to get across nuances that we would have missed otherwise. On the second day he had an unforeseeable personal issue to deal with, where his colleague Mayank helped out and allowed us to continue our tour seamlessly. Also he was very knowledgeable and fluent in English. Thanks for an amazing time, which you have made possible!
