I just wanted to thank Prashant, Baljinder, and Vikas.  This is my first experience with Ritz travelz and I was very delighted with their service.  Vikas and Baljinder offered me the lowest possible price they could even during the high season.  They showed manners and patience in my frustration time.  While booking my ticket some problem happened, Prashant and Baljinder worked 2 days straight with me to help me get my ticket. These guys treated me like family took very well care of my ticket handling.  Thank you you guys are the best.  I would like to recommend them to anyone who is browsing on this site.  And yes, you can trust other Indians
