    Chetana's 7 days trip to Europe

    The hotel in Paris and Rome were pretty bad. Paris : Room size was so small that movement around bed hit the leg. Rome: the hotel was not habitable , there were mosquitoes in the reception area and in the room balcony. Switzerland: Interlaken hotel upgrade was best Luzern and Zurich , hotels were de
    cent. Switzerland, Luzern: was the best memorable place

    Prashant's 12 days trip to Europe

    The 2 week trip went by without any hassle, This was my third Europe trip with travel triangle but I think Tulisan has been the most communicative of all the travel agents that I have been assigned earlier. They called me to explain about all the tickets in detail and how it can be used(This could
    be very helpful for first time travelers). They were always checking if I had any problems with transfer etc and were very proactive during the travel, It was not like you have the tickets now handle everything yourself. The Hotels they gave me were very decent 4 star hotels with good staff and great location.

    Rashigupta's 7 days trip to Europe

    Experience with MyTravelPlan is the worst till now. We always had to follow up with the agent multiple times regarding itinerary and bookings, and they never gave it on their communicated time. When we reached out to Travel triangle regarding this, one of the agent from My Travel Plan talked very r
    udely to us, saying are you uneducated. At the time of booking agent told us that we have early check-in at the hotel, but when we reached the hotel we were told that there is no early check-in booked for us and we had to pay the early check-in amount. When we reached out to the agent regarding this, they told us that they will refund this amount but even after multiple follow-ups over mail they didn't even bother to reply.

    Madhavi's 7 days trip to Europe

    We have booked through Mtp vacations pvt ltd since it is listed in travel triangle .We had a very bad experience.They have given us hotels which were different from the vouchers downloaded.Everyday we have to wait for the booking of tickets for internal travel .Till last moment they were not giving
    tickets.We have to go on reminding them.Trains from Paris to Zurich and Rome . When we have paid money in advance why should they not give tickets in advance.I don't understand.Every day we have to beg them to give next day's tickets. Last minute they have changed the hotel in Rome We were in a confusion.When we called they were not responding.We really had a tough time.The hotel which they have changed in the last minute in Rome was a Christian church sort of thing.It is rather a hostel. We are very disappointed We managed some how

    Pratik's 6 days trip to Europe

    Very nice planning , preparing itinerary and real time support by WiseYatra Team, they have made the trip personalised and customised for us and took care of everything. Northern Lights experience was our main reason for the trip, which was offcourse the best part but also cruise to Estonia , Santa
    Claus village visit and husky ride / snow mobile were equally fun and exciting!

    A's 7 days trip to Europe

    This was my 2nd trip planned through Travel Triangle. I was bit nervous since this was my first time to Europe and I was taking my parents along. I must say my holidays went extremely well. All my requests were carefully considered from budget, to hotel location, tours, etc. We had an amazing time a
    nd would recommend Travel Triangle to every one. Special call out to Pradyumn & Raghav who coordinated everything for us. Thanks guys!!!
