A Lifetime Memorable Tour Package & Service - Just finished our 7 days tour with this company and i would rate them 100/100 if i have had the chance because of their excellent service since the time we inquired Aashik the owner of the company spoke to us politely and within a short time he prepared a wonderful itinerary with all our requirements, The payment procediour was so friendly as we do not want to pay the full amount without knowing each other so he made it as payment on arrival which we felt very safe and as a reputed company they never hestitate to satisfy us in each and every part of the tour. We were greeted with flowers at the Airport and our guide Aswar who was well knowledgable and a lovely person was so accomodative for us. The vehicle, Hotels and everything was 100% satisfying. Kingfisher Tours went over our expectation and never failed to make me and my family happy. Highly recommended Tour Operator !
