      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

      My trip itenary was designed by Shreya from back2holidays. She has prepared the itenary according to my requirements and it was very well fitted. The hotels were good and made us comfortable during our stay. The diver given to us was very polite and covered all the places.

      Dhruvsolanki

      Mumbai

      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.
