Excellent communication through GoWithGuide! We requested a pick-up time change the day before, and received a prompt response. The driver was punctual, courteous, and professional. Highly recommended!

“Tour with sumita”
Summits was very accommodating and carried out our wishes if we wanted to stay leave or change anything. He also as requested took us to places that was not on our tour. He was very punctual and seemed knowledgeable. Only slight problem was a few times we had to repeat ourselves and he as well to understand us as well as him. All in all it was a very pleasant experience
