I recently returned from a magical trip through Rajasthan, Agra, and Delhi, planned entirely by Padma—and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Everything was taken care of, from the biggest details (ensuring plenty of fun activities for our kids) to the smallest (thinking about baggage allowances and logistics of a multi-city trip).
Each city offered unique, curated experiences that reflected Padma’s thoughtfulness and expertise. We never felt rushed or stressed, thanks to her meticulous organization of hotels, local guides, and transportation. It was such a relief to focus on exploring historic forts, enjoying mouthwatering Rajasthani cuisine, and gazing at the Taj Mahal, knowing everything had already been arranged for us.
What truly stood out was how personalized the trip felt. Padma took the time to learn our preferences and tailor every aspect accordingly, from child-friendly adventures to hidden gem restaurants. I can wholeheartedly recommend Padma for an immersive, stress-free journey through India—or anywhere else! Padma – ready to plan the next one?
