“My son and I wanted to see the IPL – and while we were bound to school holidays, EST arranged a tailored trip for us. We travelled to India for eight days and watched two IPL games, one in Delhi and one in Mumbai. It was a fantastic trip – full of exciting sightseeing trips and cricket. We enjoyed the whole experience and collected impressions and memories that will stay with us. John @ EST was excellent, he managed to put the trip together accommodating our wishes on very short notice. The local guides were outstanding – we can highly recommend EST and will definitely book with them again.”
