My
family
and
I
recently
spent
3
adventure
filled
weeks
in
India
where
we
met
Imran
of
Holymont
tours.
We've
used
over
a
hundred
cabs
during
our
stay
in
India
and
have
hired
multiple
car
rental
companies
for
longer
more
specialized
trips,
but
Imran
was
by
far
the
best
driver
we've
had
and
just
a
good
personal
experience
in
general.
While
cab
hailing
services
like
Uber
and
Ola
are
very
prevalent
in
many
Indian
cities,
the
quality
of
the
driver
can
really
be
a
mixed
bag,
and
often,
there
is
a
language
barrier.
For
longer
outstation
trips
or
day
tours?
I
have
horror
stories
to
tell
of
bad
drivers,
scams,
bad
customer
service
and
inexplicable
hidden
fees
--
even
with
the
big
companies!!
But
with
Imran,
everything
was
PERFECT.
We
met
Imran
as
our
Uber
driver
in
Jaipur
city.
When
you're
a
visible
tourist
in
India,
you
become
an
easy
target
for
over-eager
(and
sometimes
very
persistent)
vendors
who
wants
to
sell
you
something
at
inflated
tourist
prices.
Therefore,
sometimes
you
can
develop
a
bit
of
a
wall
against
even
very
nice
people.
But
with
Imran,
we
immediately
felt
like
we
could
trust
him.
He
was
just
a
friendly,
happy
and
helpful
guy.
During
our
ride,
we
just
had
a
great
conversation
about
the
city
where
he
was
happy
to
offer
up
local
tips.
He
did
not
try
to
sell
us
anything
at
all.
In
fact,
WE
were
the
ones
who
asked
him
what
it
would
cost
if
we
booked
him
for
a
day
tour.
Turns
out
he
has
a
whole
tour
company
and
multiple
cars!
So
we
happily
worked
out
a
rate
for
a
day
tour
out
of
Jaipur
city
to
a
place
called
the
Chand
Baori
Stepwells.
The
rate
he
gave
us
was
very
reasonable
(at
a
competitive
market
rate
--
I
did
the
research).
He
didn't
try
to
inflate
his
prices
or
try
to
cheat
us
into
any
other
fees
or
hidden
expenses.
Sadly
a
lot
of
tourists
get
taken
advantaged
or
get
scammed
by
nefarious
vendors
because
they
don't
do
the
research.
But
with
Imran,
everything
was
clearly
communicated,
honest
and
straightforward.
He
showed
up
for
our
pickup
early,
in
a
car
that
was
new
and
clean!
Of
course
at
the
end
of
the
trip,
we
made
sure
to
tip
him.
Plus,
his
English
is
VERY
good.
Therefore
it's
just
a
joy
talking
to
him
and
hearing
his
insights
on
this
country,
his
culture
and
his
travels.
He
has
a
happy
demeanor
that
is
infectious
...
when
he
takes
you
to
a
place
(for
example
the
Tiger
Fort),
his
own
love
and
excitement
for
the
place
is
palpable
and
rubs
off
on
you
too.
He's
a
true
Jaipur
local
who
knows
his
city.
One
last
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
...
and
I
think
this
says
a
lot
about
who
Imran
is.
While
he
was
waiting
for
us
at
one
of
our
stops,
he
sat
with
some
drivers
and
chatted
with
them.
Later
we
all
learned
that
one
of
those
drivers
was
cheated
out
of
a
significant
booking
fee
by
a
passenger
who
has
disappeared
on
him
without
paying.
Imran
not
only
tried
to
help
the
driver
troubleshoot
the
situation,
but
even
after
leaving
him,
he
tried
to
call
around
to
other
friends
to
see
if
anybody
can
be
of
assistance
to
a
guy
he
just
met.
He
is
truly
a
kind
person
who
helps
people
out
of
a
sense
of
justice
and
goodness.
If
you
book
your
tour
with
him,
you're
guaranteed
to
be
in
good
hands.
