    My travel with MTA has been incredibly smooth. I am a solo female traveler doing a spirituality based trip in many different cities in India, and I have felt safe and comfortable everywhere I’ve been with several different MTA guides and drivers- which is priceless. Manish is a pleasure to work with, and goes above and beyond expectations in every way. For example, he arranged a session with a Jyotish astrologer for me in Varanasi, he arranged for someone to come give me a medical test at my hotel when I needed it, and he has also assisted me to make appointments in New Delhi that were too difficult for me to do because of the language barrier. Always responsive, flexible, and accommodating. I know I will never need to look further than MTA when I need guidance in India
