Drivers such as Rajen and Indran have been praised for friendly help, but this works more like a convenient transfer with sightseeing time than a guided tour.

“The cable car ride was a first for us. Very memorable. The pickup wasn't where we were instructed, it was a shame that the driver never pointed out any places of interest along the trip as was advertised. It was still a great experience and many other tourists we met were friendly and made the trip more fun”
