It was excellent experience to go on Tamilnadu Cultural Tour from 15th to 26th January 2023, with Veena World. Tour Leader Ajay conducted the tour very nicely and was ably supported by his assistant Pranav. Ajay has pleasing personality and he was always positive with helping nature. Our stay was comfortable and we could visit all the places as per schedule and as we wished. Ajay was always graceful and we feel he is "an Asset" to Veena World. Overall, we are very happy about the tour. It would not be out of place, if I mention that Ms Rupali from your Vile Parle East office initially gave us all the information about the tour in good polite manner and it was easy for us to decide about the tour. Thanks & Regards Narendra Behere
