Massimo (Pesapao)
South India Tour We spent (8 friends) two weeks in India in a personalized private tour organized by distant India Journeys. They have been very supportive since the preparation of the tour giving us a lot of valuable infos. the tour itself was perfect without a single issue. The vans were always good as well hotels selection, drivers and guides. We book the flights by ourselves and one domestic was cancelled. They look for alternatives and they find a solution that minimize our discomfort. They have my phone number and I gave them the authorization to hand over it to any potential customers looking for references.
