I used their meet, greet and transfer to another flight at Delhi airport on a 6 hour layway. It was very helpful to have their service. Pros: I was met right at the plane Staff was very courteous, accommodating and nice Lounge was clean, quiet and uncrowded -- I felt safe Cons 1. When boarding my flight, staff were taking me to the wrong terminal. When they realized we had to wait for 10-15 minutes for new staff to arrive as the existing staff didn't have permission for terminal 2. 2. When we got to terminal 2 their staff were stopped at the entrance and there was back and forth that took atleast 10 minutes on their permissions to enter that terminal. 3. it seemed to me when I was walked to immigration, their staff did not know which line to take me to and I helped her with that. I am giving them a low rating because of the cons listed above -- I expect at this price point and the implied level of service that details like this should be buttoned up.

This rafting stretch usually takes about 2 hours to finish. It has about 7 rapids including both small and big ones. Some of the good rapids we run on this stretch are Roller coaster (III+), golf Course (III+), and Club house (III). These rapids are safe to raft though there are some big waves and hydraulics. It takes about 30 minutes to one hour to drive to the starting point and then about 30 minutes for the preparation, inflating rafts and safety briefing. Once safety briefing is done, we get on the rafts. It is 2 hours fun on the river with some good splashes and big hits. We finish our rafting trip just before Laxman Jhula and then from there it is a 5 minutes drive back to Red Chilli Adventure office.

Inclusions: Raft, life jacket, paddle and helmet, Private transportation, All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: Any Meal, drinking water and expenses of personal nature

It was a fun filled adventure and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We did a 26 km rafting from Marine Drive and our guide Dev was extremely talented and patient who guided us well and provided good sound bytes through out the ride. I would highly recommend Red Chilli Adventure as the rafts seemed to be very safe and hygienic as well.
