    We booked the driving service for almost three weeks, with Yashavantha as our driver available for various destinations (journeys to and from Kapu, Udupi, Manipal, Mangalore and full-day trips to the surrounding area). His service was consistently excellent, and with his local knowledge he gave us good tips for sights, shopping and restaurants. Given his proactive driving style, we felt very safe at all times. Other members of our family who drove with him - and also with Rafeeq - were very satisfied as well.

    We are traveling in the Udupi region for over two weeks, with Yashavantha as our driver. He drives very carefully and navigates us safely through the traffic in cities and on trips to the surrounding area. He is also very knowledgeable in many respects and gives tips and explanations about places of interest. The vehicle is also of good quality, so we are completely satisfied with the service and are very happy to recommend him. We would hire him again at any time.
