    The trip was a good one. The hotel in Udaipur was amazing. Perfect location. The attractions that we went to were every min. However, 2 days before travelling I personally made calls to both hotels in Udaipur and Jaipur when I was told my name was not reflecting as a booking. I specifically had book
    ed that hotel well in advance and was very disappointed. The alternative was good but not what I wanted. The attractions in Jaipur were amazing too. Everything was going well. When I was dropped to the airport I was unwell due to the weather changes. The driver spoilt my entire trip by messaging me and saying I should have paid him tip since he took me around. When I have paid Everything in advance I do not understand why would you force a tip. It's not like he was not paid. Moreover I was unwell. I might have missed but my mood went off. That's really sad. The attractions were beautiful
