    I was having a long dream of going on a solo trip and my planning brought me to Travel Triangle which took me to BacktoBack Holidays. I had booked a customized solo trip to Rajasthan and I would like to take this moment to describe the best experience I had with them. It was a pleasure to book
    through BacktoBack Holidays and I wholeheartedly thank Preethi Ji for having created this wonderful itinerary for me, as she really catered for all the needs of mine and created a fantastic plan for me to adhere all the places I had requested to. I really am overwhelmed with the hospitality and the kind gesture bestowed by Preethi Everything was top notch, the driver Jeethu who was the best in class and was always on time with whom I felt I wasn't on a solo trip at all. All the rooms were very well maintained and hygienic. Especially the Kuchaman Haveli in Jodhpur gave an ecstatic feel about staying in an ancient palace. The complimentary breakfast offered by all the hotels were also very tasty. The itinerary was so perfectly balanced that I was able to make the best out of it. Cheers to one extremely memorable trip for having created it so well!
