Jose & Alicia with Rattan, january 2012
My name is Jose and I am a guy from Barcelona who has lived in Holland
for the last 5 years.
During our trip to India in January 2012, Alicia, my girlfriend and I,
spent 2 weeks with Rattan on the road. We decided to hire his services
after a good friend recommended us his group of drivers. I have to admit
that we were a bit skeptical because we had heard a lot of bad experiences
with drivers from other friends. But, in the case of Rattan, we couldn't
be wronger.
Since the very first moment we arranged the pick up time, he was extremely
professional. He was always on time; always ready at the time we previously
agreed. We had a great time with him talking about the differences between
India, Spain, Holland and the Western and Indian culture.
He gave us a good explanation of the cast system, the 3.300 millions of
gods that India have, the traditions and culture of the country and the
challenges of the day to day life of an Indian, and always from his personal
experience point of view. We truly enjoyed those chats with him.
Rattan not only brought us where we wanted, when we wanted but also recommended
us places to visit that we hadn't considered. He also suggested alternative
itineraries. He's been driving around India for more than 16 years. So,
he knows all the right spots everywhere.
And the perfect final for our trip was when he invited us for dinner with
his family in Delhi. It was lovely to share a real Indian dinner with
his wife and 3 kids. We had such a great time...
I would definitively recommend Rattan as a driver if you are considering
hiring a driver while travelling in India.
