“Right off the bat, I was super impressed with you, John. Your patience with me through the planning stages was appreciated. I felt that you were interested in providing a custom trip to our specifications. We cannot even say enough good things about Nihal. We have had great experiences with drivers before but this guy tops our list. We hope that you are paying guys like this well because they make ALL the difference in the world. He was funny, informative, over the top responsible. We enjoyed every moment we spent with him. ”
