  Everything was good, we had one day to explore Darjeeling and Mr. Khatri(the owner) covered all major spots, without any rush. Also provided pickup from Siliguri. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Owner is very well behaved, punctual, calm, speaks hindi, english, bangla and local language of course. Does not push for buying anything from any specific shop. Overall totally worth the price.
