Nirmalya Guha

Amritsar

Nirmalya's 7 days trip to Dharamshala

We booked a cab with Travelpedia for a trip to Amritsar, Dalhousie and Dharmshala. The consultant helped us with goof information of the tour to have our vehicle booked. Mr Daleep Singh who was our chauffeur for the trip was a very generous person and a good gentleman. He was very soft spoken and to

ok care of our needs during the trip especially taking us to very good restaurants for our on trip meals. His extraordinary ability to drive on the hills was proved when we found ourselves on a really narrow and steep broken cement road to our way to our Dharamshala hotel. The road where only Altos can go up the steep and narrow road, he was able to take a fully loaded Innova with 7 people up that road, navigating extremely tight hair pin bends. Thank you to Team Travelpedia and especially to Mr Daleep Singh.

Avinash's 2 days trip to Dharamshala

I booked a multi-city Himachal & Amritsar trip with this tour agency, covering Shimla, Manali, Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Khajjiar and Amritsar and the experience was excellent! From start to finish, the entire journey was smooth, well-organized and comfortable. The cab provided was clean, well-maintai

ned and perfect for long mountain drives. Hotel staff were welcoming, accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent. A special mention to our driver extremely professional, polite and knowledgeable about all routes. He drove very safely through hilly areas, never rushed, and always made sure we were comfortable. He also suggested great viewpoints, local eateries and photo spots along the way, which made the trip even better and having a reliable driver truly made the journey stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy tour agency with excellent cab service and a skilled driver! Will definitely travel with them again.
