    It was nice experience with Brij Tours . Everything was exactly like it was discussed before the trip. The communication was thorough throughout the trip and the drivers were always on time. One thing that I would recommend would be go give more option To the customer to choose from, the people traveling might not always have all the information of the place. So if depending upon the customer’s needs and travel type, you can recommend them options and help them customize their trip personally. Apart from this everything was awesome. ...more
