Debbose's 4 days trip to Almora

Overall review is ok. Cab driver was supposed to be guide but was not that active and eager to show us all the locations marked in the tour itinerary. Skill wise he is good. Also travel agent charges very high price for the hotel room where as online booking price for the same deluxe room is much

less. The trip was over priced. Service of the hotel was very good and staffs are really cooperative and helpful. Room was good and food was also ok.
