Rickshaw Client's Review

Rhoda Mshana - Mauritius - June 2014

Dear Ravi and Pooja,

I just wanted to express our appreciation for the holiday arrangements in Mauritius.

Both mom and aunty had a fabulous time, the hotel in Mauritius even upgraded them and the service was fantastic (we highly recommend keeping them as one of your partner hotels). They enjoyed the excursions and the experience very much.

Thank you again for everything, Rhoda

PS. We are eagerly awaiting seeing all the pictures that they took in Mauritius!
