Relaxed, Hassle free and comfortable day trip. - Excellent day trip setup by Mr Anil Wadhwa of Bag Packer Travels. Car, driver and short accommodation provided were as per my family needs and accessibility. I’d recommend his service to all my near and dear ones, who are looking to have hassle free and comfortable family vacation. Even though I used his service for a day trip but I’d surely rely on him to set up my longer vacation as well. (Reviewed at: 2024-03-09)
