Nikhil Deshai

Bangalore

Nikhil's 3 days trip to Kerala

We have a very good experience during the trip. Mr. Nitin Saini from Balaji Vacation is the gem of the company. Hotels were very comfortable as per the requirements. Thanks Balaji Vacations for making our trip memorable.

Shashank Shrivastava

Bangalore

Shashank's 6 days trip to Kerala

We had the absolute pleasure of having Ajju as our driver during our Kerala trip, and honestly, he was much more than just a driver—he was the backbone of our entire experience. From day one, Ajju was incredibly friendly, warm, and approachable. What truly stood out was how extremely accommodating

he was with all our ad hoc requests—whether it was sudden stops, changes in plans, or exploring offbeat places, he handled everything with patience and a smile. In trips like these, drivers often become your de facto guides, and Ajju excelled in that role. His knowledge, conduct, and genuinely good nature made every journey comfortable and enjoyable. He ensured we always felt safe, relaxed, and well taken care of. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and sincere in their work. Ajju didn’t just drive us around—he truly made our trip memorable. Thank you, Ajju, for such an awesome and unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better companion on this journey!

After booking, Mr Alan said to me that room category is not available and upgraded to new room with high price. I agreed to pay extra amount, However, when I was in hotel, it was not upgraded, it was downgraded with high price. I was cheated here. After booking, It in not my problem but you behaved

unprofessionally. You charged me extra amount after booking that is very unprofessional. 2. For rest amount to pay no communication by Alan & message sent for paying when I was in flight. After landed to Trivandrum and on-boarded in taxi, You welcome me in Kerala like you and your system like terrorist group and rush to all payment in minutes otherwise taxi will be parked on highway and will not move till the payment. It was a pathetical behavior I ever seen from professionals.
