Deepak's 3 days trip to Ajmer

Certainly! Here's a revised, heartfelt version of your appreciation: I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Mohit for his impeccable planning of our Rajasthan trip. His expertise and experience were evident in how seamlessly he managed to include all the top cities and attractions within our limited timeframe. I had my return flight tickets already booked, but Mr. Mohit's thoughtful coordination ensured that everything else, from the sights to the accommodations, was perfectly aligned with our needs. The hotels were all great, though Hotel Balam in Jodhpur was the only place where we felt there was room for improvement, even though the food there was quite delicious. A special mention goes to our wonderful driver, Mr. Dara Singh. He was more than just a driver—he became a part of our family. Throughout the journey, he was not only courteous but also engaging and full of stories, making our long drives feel shorter and more enjoyable. He drove with great care, especially knowing we were traveling with a one-year-old. His calm and smooth driving added to the comfort of our trip. I would also like to express my gratitude for the beautiful gesture of Mr. Dara Singh's little daughter, who painted a lovely picture of our baby. It truly added a personal and touching moment to our entire experience. Overall, this trip was a stunning experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you, Mr. Mohit and Mr. Dara Singh, for making our Rajasthan journey so memorable.

Harshagorisetty's 5 days trip to Ajmer

Hotels and coordination is very good , but please make sure the drivers won’t stop at their commission shops and compel them to visit them and make clients uncomfortable. Due to this we have missed lot of places in itinerary. Rest all good.

Srajal's 5 days trip to Ajmer

Miss Preeti ji's guidance was excellent. It was great for us to plan such a good trip in such a short time. I was a little skeptical in the beginning but when she immediately cooperated with us and gave us exactly what we wanted, we were very satisfied with you. Hope we will continue to plan our trips with you in the future and will also tell our friends and family members to plan their trips with you.

Aditya's 8 days trip to Ajmer

First of all, kudos to Mr. Mohit - he planned the entire trip very well. I must say he is knowledgeable and experienced enough to accommodate all the top cities and places of Rajasthan in given dates. As my return flight tickets were already booked. Hotels were good except for Hotel the balam, jodhpur. (Although Food was good in balam too) Etios Cab driver Uagm Singh Ji was impressive person, was talkative throughout the trip. He was travelling with us as if he is a member of our family. He drove smooth enough, as we were travelling with a 1 year kid. Kudos to the driver Ugam Singh Ji. Thank you !! Overall a stunning experience, would definitely recommend. Drivers little daughter painted a painting of our baby. That gave a cherry on the cake feeling. Thank you for that !!

Khvab's 2 days trip to Ajmer

It was a good memorable experience. All thanks to Siddhu ji (Being Musafir) your staff for organising our trip of Jaisalmer. The Chauffeur – he drove those 100s of kilometres very safely & carefully, arrived punctually each morning, immaculately dressed and with a smile and a wave, his knowledge of the area was very good. Our stay at Hotels and Camp was average. We were very impressed with the service provided by Being Musafir and will certainly recommend you to any friends/colleagues visiting Jaisalmer.
