Great Company & Great Experience - My son and I spent the entire day with our knowledgeable and outstanding guide Chetan. He took us many many places and even accommodated our wish to ride the local train. Chetan used to live in the slum and that part of the tour was especially impactful and amazing. My son even purchased a beautiful leather jacket hand made by a business in the slum. It is being hand made tonight and will be delivered to our hotel tomorrow. An added benefit is that this company is community focused and supports education focused NGOs. A great company and experience!!
