My
name
is
McKenzie
and
my
husband’s
name
is
Gerry.
We
are
American
traveler
who
recently
spent
2
weeks
in
India.
We
visited
Delhi,
Agra,
Jaipur,
and
Ranthambore
National
park—
aside
from
experiencing
India’s
rich
culture
and
seeing
its
beautiful
landmarks
our
favorite
part
of
our
trip
was
getting
to
meet
and
know
our
driver/travel
guide
Dara.
When
we
first
began
planning
our
trip
many
people
recommended
that
we
hire
a
driver.
Our
friend
recommended
Dara
so
I
immediately
reached
out
to
him
via
WhatsApp
to
begin
planning.
Dara
made
planning
our
trip
easy
and
seamless—
his
English
on
the
phone
and
via
text
are
great.
We
told
him
what
we
wanted
and
what
we
expected
and
he
made
that
happen.
Within
5
days
of
contacting
him,
Dara
had
a
complete
itinerary
booked
for
us—
he
had
hotels
booked,
guides
lined
up,
safaris
planned,
etc.
If
we
needed
it
he
had
it
prepared,
and
if
he
didn’t
he
would
make
it
happen.
When
we
arrived
in
India
he
met
us
at
the
airport.
He
was
easy
to
locate
and
was
so
welcoming.
His
car
was
always
very
clean
and
stocked
with
water
(which
I
never
thought
about
being
important
but
it
was).
Every
day
Dara
made
sure
that
we
were
well
fed
and
stayed
hydrated.
At
night
he
would
confirm
pickup
times
for
the
following
morning
and
he
was
always
on
time
and
ready
when
he
said
he
would
be.
Each
new
city
Dara
would
have
a
guide
prepared
to
meet
us.
Typically
we
would
pick
up
the
guide
with
Dara,
he
would
introduce
us,
and
then
Dara
would
drive
us
from
place
to
place
leaving
us
with
the
guide
while
he
stayed
with
the
car.
We
always
felt
our
valuables
were
safe
in
the
car
when
we
left
them
with
Dara—
and
our
guides
were
always
top
notch.
Dara
was
able
to
book
our
accommodations
so
that
we
stayed
in
safe
areas
and
could
get
a
bit
of
a
discount.
We
always
felt
very
safe
in
each
place
he
had
booked
for
us.
My
two
request
when
booking
hotels
was
that
we
feel
safe
and
clean.
There
was
only
one
instance
where
we
checked
in
and
the
accommodations
were
not
up
to
our
or
Dara’s
standards.
He
IMMEDIATELY
jumped
into
action
and
found
us
different
accommodation
for
the
night.
He
went
above
and
beyond
what
he
had
to
do
to
make
us
comfortable.
Our
favorite
part
of
the
trip
were
our
hours
upon
hours
in
the
car
with
Dara
learning
about
him
and
his
culture.
We
honestly
would
have
never
been
able
to
enjoy
India
like
we
did
if
it
were
not
for
Dara.
If
you
are
thinking
of
traveling
to
India
DO
IT—
you
will
not
regret
it
and
book
with
Dara!
When
we
return
we
will
definitely
be
reaching
out
to
Dara
again—
we
consider
him
part
of
the
family
now.
Feel
free
to
ask
Dara
for
my
number
if
you
have
any
question.
I
have
let
him
know
that
I
would
love
to
be
a
reference
for
anyone
thinking
about
booking
with
him.
