- DonJanuary 2nd, 2020This was a good tour. However, I would warn future travelers that this is not a fully escorted tour. You will have...Show moreTraveled in December 2019Reply from: Alkof HolidaysDear Donald, I hope you are doing well! Thanks for your feedback. However, there are a few points that we need to clear, 1st Yes we provide local destinations professional guides at every destination you visit, and they are more expert in their specific destinations, then 1 single tour guide who would travel with our guest through out the tour, we also provide full time guide but on client request only. 2nd the travel route is absolutely correct, and we have clearly mentioned the distance between different destinations you would travel, along with the duration/time, you would spend in the car while travelling from 1 destination to other, and as the government is working on the roads to make them smoother, so there is some little inconvenience there for some time. 3rd, we are fully vetted in this Buddhist tour with Taj Mahal, and I believe you also enjoyed the trip but because of long distance you traveled in the car, you might feel different, we organize around 30 to 40 trips each year to this Buddhist sector so we are not new on this route. 4rth, due to International border between India and Nepal, the military take their time for security check, and other travelers also need to go through this process also. I hope you can understand sir, and we are and were always there to support our guest, when you need anything. Best Regards, Surender Kumar Alkof HolidaysShow more
