We traveled under difficult circumstances (bio bubble, covid regulations) and Lishan was a great help with every step of the booking. He was available at all times to reply to our questions. We had a wonderful driver and guide during our 8 day tour. SAMAN knew the best restaurants and helped us whenever we needed anything special such as shops, Sim cards, atms or ayurvedic massages 🙂 we really hope to stay in touch with him even after our trip. Lishan selected the hotels carefully and the pickup/ drop off was excellent. Thanks to Lishan and Saman for everything!
