El comienzo fue un desastre, salimos una hora tarde de AURANGABAD, nos enviaron un coche pequeño cuando lo contratado fue una SUV para el chofer, guía y cuatro participantes. Tras una hora de discutir y perder el tiempo con un señor ASHISH de la agencia llego lo que habíamos pedido y PAGADO El guía y el chofer con su actitud pro activa salvaron la situación. Esta hora perdida supuso llegar a los lugares con unas multitudes épicas, pero sin duda los dos lugares son únicos. Entiendo que estamos en un país con limitaciones pero eso no permite que la agencia se pase vendiendo algo que después no te envía. También hablé con servicio de atención de GETYOURGUIDE y bastante deficiente, solo atendieron por WHATSAPP pero no resolvieron nada, todo fue con el señor ASHISH que trataba de justificar de modo injustificado el no cumplir con lo pactado.
