    He is a very nice and respectul man, his English is also very good and you can have every kind of conversations with him, his open minded and also a good driver, so i felt all the time safe with him and his driving skils. On my trips here i've changed some drivers, but he is far to good in comparison with the others! We talked so much that a new friendship was also established..so i'm happy for that. So with small words he is like gold of drivers here! He will help you with whatever you need and also what's very important to avoid scams! I recomand him with all the trust!

    We arranged our trip through Payless Tours India and Nepal. We are thoroughly satisfied. Our original plan was to spend 8 days in India and 8 days in Nepal, but due to the unrest in Nepal, we remained in India for the entire tour. Mr. Neeraj Sharma, along with our driver Mithun, promptly created an excellent extended itinerary for us in India. We highly recommend our driver Mithun. What more can be said? He is truly exceptional courteous, extremely friendly, punctual, and reliable. He ensured we felt safe and joyful throughout our journey, making every moment enjoyable. Mithun also shared stories and valuable insights about Indian life and culture, enriching our experience. He deserves a thousand stars, and we will miss him dearly.

    We recently completed the Bestseller Tour India with Nepal, flight included with Payless Tours India, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the start, communication with the company was smooth, responsive, and reliable. The tour was well organized while still allowing for flexibility and customization along the way. This gave us the comfort of a structured plan but also the freedom to adapt when needed. The heart of our trip was our driver, Mithun. He was much more than a driver, he was a wonderful travel companion. His skill in navigating India’s challenging traffic and roads gave us confidence and peace of mind every single day. He was always helpful, sharing his insights and showing us the heart of India. He was accommodating, and attentive to our needs, going above and beyond to make our journey special. Anyone lucky enough to have Mithun as their driver will be truly blessed. Unfortunately, the Nepal portion of the tour had to be canceled just a day before we were to travel to the Nepalese border due to the political upheaval (the Gen-Z revolution). While we were naturally disappointed, we also felt fortunate not to get caught up in the situation. Neeraj Sharma of Payless Tours and Mithun handled this challenge with great professionalism, immediately arranging an alternative itinerary for us. We spent eight extra days traveling slowly from Varanasi back to Delhi, with hotels included at no extra cost to us. The replacement program was well thought out, enriching and fascinating, making the best of a difficult circumstance. We were impressed with how quickly and smoothly this was organized. The hotels provided were comfortable and modern, generally 3-star standard with air-conditioning and the amenities we needed. If budget allowed, I might choose 5-star hotels next time for the added convenience and locations, but overall, the accommodations were perfectly fine for this style of trip. Traveling with Payless Tours meant we saw places and experiences that large bus groups often miss. We felt well cared for at all times and had opportunities to see India more up close and personal. Overall, I highly recommend Payless Tours India. You will be in very good hands, with excellent organization, caring staff, and drivers like Mithun who turn a trip into a memorable journey.
