Scam. On the website "all fees and taxes included", and when you arrive at the first destination they are telling you that you've to pay yourself for all the entry tickets.

I liked the flexibility of going what where we wanted to with the explanations of a tour guide. Our driver also made sure he found us a german guide and after the tour he brought us back to another place! very helpful

We had such a wonderful trip, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Lal. From the moment we met, he made us feel welcome and at ease. He shared so many interesting stories and local insights, which made every place we visited come alive. I really appreciated how patient and flexible he was with our plans, always making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Their sense of timing was perfect — we never felt rushed, yet we managed to see so much. Their warmth, knowledge, and genuine care made the journey so much more special. Truly grateful for his guidance and company throughout the trip!
