Deep, our Taxi Driver on Thursday 17/9, whom we met in person for the first time, was very courteous, friendly & kind. He was very punctual too, arriving several minutes before our designated pick up time. We felt totally safe during our ride in a Taxi that was in immaculate condition, both inside & out. It was a real pleasure to go to our destination with Deep. We can recommend him to anyone, such was our experience with him on the aforementioned date. Thank you again Deep. See you again soon!
