What our guests say:
​
"Sonal Divekar was recommended to me by a colleague as someone who understands and delivers. Knowing that China is not quite the place to do go about the arrangements oneself, I reached out to her with an itinerary when we decided on a family vacation in May 2019. Long story short, Sonal delivered and how! As we made our way through Beijing, Xian & Shanghai, China proved to be a cakewalk and the arrangements made were spot on .... we found the right cars waiting at airports, with an English speaking guide accompanying us everywhere (you need that, trust me, unless you speak Chinese), assistance in hotel check ins, and very quick, clear communication whenever we wanted to clarify anything.
From China, we made our way to Macau and then Hong Kong (with Disneyland thrown in of course) .... with travel made easy by Ms. Sonal Divekar. Will I rely on her to take care of my next vacation? Certainly will .....Rupa Roy
