“We also run the tour business. When we have customer request you always help and recommends. And flixible.
Your Driver ( Mr .Ian ) Have been very helpful can you passed a massage we thinking of him.
In the down side: sometime you take time to reply the question. But in other hand I understand that you’re busy and we asked something that you not do on the tour.”
“Before the trip to England I’m very concerned because our first trip and many people ( 6 of us). After talk to Nok , she very good advice and very helpful make us feel more relaxed and confidence even we didn’t decide yet to use her service . When we arrived to England all the service was perfect. The driver pick us up on time and helping with the luggage and advice a lot for the trip. You and your Company is full with service mind. You make customer feel like the family instead of business. I wish you company get more successful and we will use your service again for sure.
In the down side I don’t have it because it better more than we expected.”
