Rickshaw Client's Review

Kiran Bhagattjee & Family

Dubai Holiday - July 2014

"Dear Bhavin Just a note to say that me and my family had a very wonderful time in Dubai @ The Palm Atlantis, all arrangements you made were perfect and worked like clockwork.

Everything happened as expected and there were no let downs of any kind. Hotel accommodated all our request we made through you i.e., connecting rooms in fact they gave all 3 rooms next to each other.

Airport transfers were also spot on and they even accommodated me and my wife on our return lag to go back to airport (though we were not supposed to!) So all in all it was a very pleasant experience of Dubai for me and my family especially for my son in law who came to Dubai first time ever"
