We are back in our homes. I want to thank you for the work you did to organize our trip and that it has been very satisfactory. The yoga towel was great for our morning practices. All the services, hotels, dinners have been more than correct. We will keep in touch for future occasions

Hello. We are happy to tell you that we were very satisfied with our driver Naresh who took us around on the first week of our trip. Although his english is not so good he was an excellent and safe driver. He saw the traffical problems ahead and we were never afraid of driving with him. He showed us a lot of places and told us about many things. Naresh took very good care of us - being our first trip to your country.

Dear Sirs, namaste. The journey of my group is over and we have returned to our homes. I hope all of you are fine. I wish to thank State Express for the usual good assistance. A special thank to Mr Mamlesh Sahu for following my trip through his frequent telephone calls. I hope to have the chance to come again. Dhanyavad.
