All the cabs were on time except one due to traffic condition. All the tickets were provided and tour plan was explained by the driver on the arrival day. If u r stuck they were reachable all the time. Vehicles were clean and people are very nice, always ready to help.

I strongly recommend this tour company. We hardly wasted any time due to meticulous planning by Miss Fareeda, the team member of the tour company. She was available all the time to assist us, while making plans, during the tour, and till we reached our hometown. Next time I go Andaman again will go via them.
