Personal experience

I did two tours, the day tour of Rishikesh and the sunrise trip. I really liked the clear communication with the guide even before the tour. The tour was personalised to give me a really good experience. It was a hazy day, so we didn't see the mountains unfortunately. The daytrip of Rishikesh surroundings also brought us to the hills, I loved the peace and quiet of the more rural parts. Tour guide spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable. Driver was good and safe. Thanks for taking care of me!
