    Subramanyamkunda's 4 days trip to Aurangabad

    Driver is a good person, but looks like he has eye sight issue, night times his driving is not good, we are very afraid when he driving when are going on roads where divider is not there, we told many times pls slow down and go. Complementary breakfast is not good in hotel, its unhygienic. We covered the all main destinations what we planned and enjoyed.

    Priyanka's 4 days trip to Aurangabad

    Overall very good planning by the team. We did not have any problem anywhere during the trip. However we didn't know about the convenience fee that was added to our package, which was a last minute surprise. Even the travel agent did not reveal it to us while we booked the trip

    Dhruvsolanki's 4 days trip to Aurangabad

    The trip was amazing. The prices were reasonable too with a good choice of accommodation. The only concern I faced was that the driver was advised to take a shortcut which was not that smooth but saved some kms and some tolls. This would have been fair provided I would have been informed of the same in the first hand. Other than that everything was excellent.
