Lydia and I had a wonderful time in India, thanks to all the arrangements made by you and MYSHA. The trip accomplished everything that we wanted to see in this short time. We were very impressed by your team's professional, courtesy and timeliness. Your staff was there at every level and every occasion from the time we arrived in Delhi to the time we left India. They were there at every hotel and venue to ensure that everything was properly taken care of. Any issue we encountered was promptly handled and resolved. Your staff was always available on the phone and you giving us a local phone was excellent and made us very comfortable.
