Although we visited many landmarks we never felt rushed. Sathia was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. In a city with a lot of traffic we felt very safe while riding with Sathia behind the wheel. She was a very safe driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. We highly recommend her tour!!”
