Hello
I would like to post here special appreciation for Mr Akshay Gaikwad our tour manager for tour EUGT051124/A greece and turkey.
Due to our neglegence our bag was left in the airline at Istanbul and it took time to recover it at airport.
Akshay remained connected with us throughout the episode, ensured our rest of luggage is dropped at hotel and also arranged packed Indian food at hotel while we were engaged in bag recovery.
Just like a family he took our care. We just loved the hospitality and care he extended. Highly appreciative of him indeed.
We thank Akshay and Veena World for helping us out during this time of need.
Regards
Vinayak and Neha

Booking was smooth. People were helpful. Even though there were some confusions about Turkey visa, things were sorted out. Tour started from Mumbai. We met tour manager Akshay Gaikwad there and met other group members. Akshay was quite helpful and used to give required information and took proper care of the group. He was always there to help and make the tour successful for everybody. He is an asset to your organization. We enjoyed the Greece most especially the visit to the Islands and Santorini. Overall tour was awesome and enjoyed the most.
