অসাধারন একটা ট্যুর
অসাধারন একটা ট্যুর করানোর জন্য TRAVEL LIVE কে অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ জানাই। সারা বছর ধরেই আমি বেড়াই। এত সুশৃঙ্খল, নিখুঁত, সর্বাঙ্গসুন্দর ভ্রমন আমি খুব কমই করেছি। আপনাদের TOUR PLAN টাও খুব ভালো ছিলো। হোটেল, খাওয়া দাওয়া, যাতায়াত ব্যবস্থা, ক্রুজ সফর, মরূভূমিতে সাফারি এক কথায় অসাধারন। দুই TOUR DIRECTOR গুরুদাসদা আর অখিলেশদার কোনো তুলনা হয় না। ওনারা যেভাবে আমাদের খেয়াল রাখতেন তার তুলনা নেই। বিশেষ বয়স্ক মানুষদের ব্যাগ বয়ে দেওয়া, তাঁদের হুইল চেয়ার টানা, তাঁদের হাত ধরে ধরে ঘোরানো-- জাস্ট কিছু বলার নেই। তবে সবশেষে দুটো অন্য কথাও বলবো। অসওয়ান থেকে কায়রো ফেরাটা ট্রেনের পরিবর্তে বিমানে করলেই ভালো হয়। ট্রেনযাত্রাটা আদৌ সুখকর নয়। আর ইন্ডিগোতে টিকিট কাটাটা বাদ দিলেই ভালো হয়। ধন্যবাদ।

Enjoyed Very Much
I have enjoyed the tour very much, I was possessing a fear from the very beginning that I cannot complete the tour due to my physical inabilities to some extent. But my beloved tour director Shreyashi removed all difficulties with her sweet behaviour and extended helping hand. Thank you to her and the whole team of TravelLive.
