    We had a family trip last week to Dubai through J Square Holidays. It was an amazing experience where Janit and his team has arranged perfectly for us. They took an extra effort to arrange a cake to celebrate our infants birthday in Dhow cruise which made the celebration more special. At the end,
    our departure was delayed due to Dubai flood. Janit helped us throughout the situation for us to have a smooth departure from his end. We recommend Jsquare holidays to everyone for their vacation.

Also, the schedule set was very hectic considering going their with family, so better planning should have been provided and conveyed to the customer. A
