My husband, daughter and I travelled through parts of Kashmir with Fida and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Him and the driver he worked with (Firdous), were able to ensure that we were always tended to, received the best deals with pony rides and the likes and overrall had a great experience. Our daughter got sick along the way and Fida was flexible to work around our schedule and with rearanging the programme.

Kashmir is a truly beautiful destination with extremely lovely people. It is also extremely safe for tourists. We will definitely be going back to explore more of Kashmir and Ladakh with Fida and Firdous.

We contacted  Astera tour directly from Italy after a suggestion of an Indian friend who knows how Italian are used to live and travel.  I say just this: we have never been disappointed.  Very reliable agency!

For my fourth visit to India I made contact with Fida. He arranged drivers and guides for our party in Jodhpur and Delhi. His arrangements were conducted very professionally and always responded within a day or so. He was always available on the phone even when he had to travel to Kasmir. Changes to our plans were handled very efficiently. We decided at the last minute to get a taxi from Jaipur to Delhi. His price  was a thirdl less than that quoted at our hotel. I do not hesitate to recommend him. Mike Tagg. South Africa
