Your guests, your brand

## How do we look after your guests?

Your agency's name on the board, the driver's details to you first, and no selling to your guests.

### Your name on the board

The driver meets your guests with your agency's name on the board, at the airport, the station or the hotel.

### Your customers stay yours

The driver does not hand out our number or card, and we never contact your guests to sell them a trip.

### Driver details to you first

Before pickup we send you the driver's name, phone number and car number, to pass on to your guests.

### GPS on every car

Every car is GPS-tracked, and we can share the live location with you while your guests travel.

### A backup car if needed

If a car breaks down or a driver cannot come, we send another car.

### One number, 24/7

Your team calls one number at any hour for changes, delays or problems: +91 99745 30788.

Planning notes

## What should you plan around?

Navratri crowds, the ropeway and the heat.

- Navratri and full moons: Pavagadh is one of Gujarat's busiest Shakti temples; on Navratri days and full moons the ropeway queue can take hours. Pick another date for sightseeing guests.
- The climb: from the ropeway top station there are still steps to the temple; tell older guests in advance.
- Heat: the archaeological park has little shade; the morning is the best time, which is why it comes first.
- Make it two days: add the Statue of Unity with a night at Kevadia; see the [2-day tour](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/travel-agents/statue-of-unity-vadodara-tour-2-days.html).
