We have gone to two trips via Tu route. Both times we were really impressed with their arrangements, the way they’re in touch with us all the time and most importantly, being flexible for our last minute modifications. I must name Ms. Rasheeda in this regard. She was the one who took care of us in both the trips like a guardian angel. We were made to visit all the important places in small time duration thanks to Rasheeda. Once again, thanks to whole Tu route team. We have many more trips planned ahead with Tu route.
