02-Nov-2024
They don’t provide services as promised. They have promised me a 4X4 Land cruiser for my group booking, but they sent a van quoting that they do not have enough people in the group and hence they will be at loss if they send a land cruiser. The van did not have insurance and we were pulled over by the police and we had to stand on the road in red hot sun for 2 hours.
I would not recommend this company at all. They are not responsive and just seenzone you
