    Roshinicshetty's 6 days trip to Andaman

    Overall our Andaman experience was great. The agency was able to manage everything well. Due to bad weather conditions our water activities got cancelled in Havelock but we were very particular about scuba diving, so the agency took special efforts to arrange it in Neil island for us. Premila personally met us and ensured we had a comfortable stay. Their manager Mr Liton was calm and humble to solve issues which we faced during our stay in Andamans. The drivers were polite and punctual. It was a wonderful trip.

    Deepak's 7 days trip to Andaman

    Cabs and drivers can be improved. Driver is someone who can help the travellers to show more if there is time. But we missed few places due to driver who is not interested to take us though there is sufficient time. Last 2 days in Portblair was pathetic due to the driver.
