    Dear Ms Reshu and team, First of all I would like to thank for arranging our honeymoon tour package at Manali in such a short notice. The complete trip was very well organized and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The selection of hotel was very nice and view from it was really beautiful and breathtaking. Surprise of candle light dinner and flowered bed was like power top up recharge to our trip, which has become a life lasting memory, heartily thanks for that. Cab operator was very humble and soft spoken and helped us a lot in many ways. Dear friends, trust me, the overall tour was designed flawlessly and was at par with many reputed organized like Thomas cook, MMT etc but at much more reasonable cost. The response before and during our trip was awesome, Ms Reshu’s response on call before and during stay is highly appreciating. She not only helped us to re-plan the tour “During the trip” but also passed benefits which no other company does. I am heartily thankful for that too. Our overall experience is excellent and as their name is “awesome” We would like to rate 5/5 and will recommend to every seeker. Thanks Pooja and Nagendra ...more
