  Few things command more respect than hard work, integrity,dedication and the ability to follow through. These are among the many attributes we experienced from start to finish when organizing our trip to Bhubaneswar with this travel agent.This travel agent is an excellent listener and pays attention to detail; a lost quality in today’s world. I am a big believer in managing expectations and I must say that thanks to this agent, her years of experience and wonderful demeanor and disposition. Selecting a travel agent and advisor can be frustrating and even dicey at times. Not in this case. We could not be more pleased with every component of our adventure and must give this agent, the tour company, the highest marks possible. Thank you!!!
