Hi Ganesh,

It gives me great pleasure to tell you that you have got amazing employees working with you. It had never been such a wonderful experience for me until I spoke to your agents. Whenever I call any other company it takes me ages to get through the system, but getting through to Experience Globe was so simple. And then when I spoke to the guy, he was more than generous in giving me the right answers without confusing me.
I can see how bonded your employees are. Experience Globe is lucky to have people like them. Your team was very polite in all interactions. This shows your concern for your customers.
Thank you Experience Globe for giving me an amazing adventurous Sri Lankan trip

Ms. Sangita Chima

Hi Ganesh,

I had always wanted to go to Morocco, and am so glad that I did! The country has such rich history, varied topography, and friendly people. Travel exploration did a great job preparing us for this trip, and was very responsive to questions as we were planning it. Our guide was solicitous, insanely prompt and prepared, and fun to be with. The driving into the desert and out is long, but you feel like you have seen the Grand Canyon and the Swiss Alps along the way!
Every guide was terrific, and it was evident that there is tremendous mutual respect between them and the owner.

Mr Prateek Sawant
