Excellent Service from Contes Asia

07-Nov-2019

This is 1st time we came India. We used Contes Asia. we found through Tripadvisor...Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. Each trip has been exactly as we hoped and that is directly due to the Contes Asia . we were lucky! We had one person throughout all conversation. he originally planned a trip for us last month. Every detail of the trip went off without a hitch. All hotels were great and perfectly situated, transfers and drivers were all punctual and conscientious. The tour guides were the best we've had in any of our travels. Paperwork, vouchers, and payment were all handled with perfect efficiency. What made this all go so seamlessly was our coordinator Raza and Sabi. From the very first communication I could tell that he was going to listen to what we wanted and work with us closely throughout the process of figuring out an itinerary and then nailing down all the details. That is exactly what they did. Sabi always responded to my emails or phone calls right away and was a wealth of information about India. What a treasure! Thank you once again to Contes Asia Team.
