    Reply from: Varanasi Excursion Pvt Ltd
    Thank you, Mindy, for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your 6 Days Kashi–Ayodhya Journey. We are genuinely sorry to hear that parts of your experience did not meet your expectations. Our team always strives to deliver smooth and well-organized tours, and we regret any confusion you felt during the trip. We would like to clarify a few points for transparency: As per the confirmed itinerary, we provided 3-star category hotels in all destinations, including Hotel Dev Residency, Hotel Bodhgaya Regency, and Hotel 3AG. These were the agreed accommodations at the time of booking. Guided sightseeing was arranged in Varanasi, Bodhgaya, and Ayodhya as planned. Guide services are payable locally as mentioned in the inclusions, and our team still ensured guides were available for you throughout. During your stay in Ayodhya, there was an unexpected wedding event in the city, which caused some logistical challenges. While this was beyond our control, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused. Our operations team remained in daily contact to check on your comfort and assist whenever needed, and all major services were delivered as per the confirmed itinerary. We respect every guest’s feedback, as it helps us improve. However, we also stand by the services that were provided according to the agreed plan. We would be happy to discuss any specific concerns further and resolve them amicably. Wishing you all the best, and thank you again for traveling with us. Warm regards, Aamir
