When i saw this tour in Tripadvisor about the Great Betrayal tour of Murshidabad, i had to do it! Over 2 days Sauvik helped us retrace history and we saw the battles between the Nawabs and East India Company through the leftover landmarks. Sauvik was very read and he helped us understand that time of history very well. The Palaces and homes of wealthy merchants was enchanting. One can imagine the riches this land possessed. The company take care of hotels, private car and great guides. I would recommend this for people who want to understand a little more of the heritage of this great part of India.

Hi Sharma ji, I had planned this trip to make my first marriage anniversary memorable. Have made all bookings and waiting from more than 2 months. Because of drastic increase in covid cases in Delhi during divali and formers protest I was in big tension and in confusion whether to travell or not. It was at high risk and not sure about anything till the last minute. But starting from when I book the cab to last hour of our onboard to trip you made it flawless without small error. We were safe And didn’t face single issue throughout the trip. Our driver Dharmendra Sharma was very cool and Happy person. He took care of us a lot and he was very friendly and gave many suggestions while visiting monuments. His driving is awesome. I have reached Delhi Airport back with so much of Satisfaction and Happiness. Thank you so much for your wonderful service I will cherish this forever. Keep up the good work and will refer my many friends here. I am taking many memories from here!! And a big Thanks you!!!
