TRIP TO RAJASTHAN: 06–21 October 2012
Bearing in mind that this was our first experience of travelling with a private driver, the result was very positive thanks to Mr Karni's perfect organisation. Our driver, Mr Shankar, made the experience unforgettable thanks to his experience and flawless driving, as well as his punctuality, the cleanliness of the car and his solving of any problem. Having a car with a driver at your disposal for the whole holiday allows much more flexibility in the programme than the usual tours offered by Italian tour operators, which are mostly done on classic tourist coaches.
We left Turin on the morning of 6 October 2012 (booked ourselves); on our arrival in Delhi at around 10 pm our driver, Mr Shankar, was waiting for us at the airport with a sign bearing our names; he took us to the hotel and the next morning our tour began.
The hotels Mr Karni booked for us all lived up to our expectations (5-star): clean, comfortable, spacious and beautiful rooms. We recommend anyone intending to visit India to rely on Mr Karni to make the trip truly unforgettable!
