“I went to Mussoorie for a weekend trip in September 2026 via Dehradun through a scooty rental and the hotels and itinerary planned by Vivek at Tavora. He was really helpful when my bus from dehradun was postponed so he tried to arrange an alternate bus for me so I could reach back Delhi before 5 AM on monday before my work starts and that was an amazing customer support I'd say. Definitely recommending all my friends to get their trips arranged by them, very reliable.”
