“ Amit is 10 out of 10 ”
We recently undertook a month long trip through northern India and won the lottery by connecting with Amit Singh. Amit was the difference between having an OK experience and having a fabulous experience. We were looking to have someone drive us but ended up with a driver, an interpreter, an advisor, and ultimately, a very good friend. Amit is a skillful and careful driver but also an honest, caring, conscientious, punctual, courteous, knowledgable, informative, compassionate, likeable, happy, helpful and patient individual. Amit, you are a 10 out of 10. Thanks for a fabulous experience.
