It was amazing experience for us

Rajal Modha

Flamingo organized an amazing trip to Rajasthan. They booked us very beautiful hotels. The agent Mihir Barot made sure we got the very best package. The hotels had delicious breakfast and dinner at the hotels and provided the best hospitality. The driver Naveen Meena was amazing and suggested nice excursions. He kept the car very clean. If you want to explore Rajasthan with an ease Naveen Bhai is the man. All the guides he had arranged for us were well mannered and spoke English fluently. Thank you team Flamingo! Special thanks to Mihir Barot and Naveen Meena for making it a fabulous experience for us.
