Easy going, comfortable tour with Sathesh
O2106OTannep, October 2026
Sathesh was a wonderful guide. He started by telling us what we would do within the tour and gave us an option to change as we had already been to one of the places. He explained the history and importance of places and conversed with us happily answering all questions. He also gave us space and time to be. At each location once he had given us the rundown he set a time to meet and left us to explore which we really appreciated. He was a great driver and the car was cool and comfortable. Thanks Sathesh for a wonderful experience!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
