Los Angeles Friends Packages

I booked the trip through Travelope but got very disappointed with the execution. Faced the following big problems: 1. The boats booked from bali to nusa, nusa to gilli and gilli back to bali were pathetic. I had booked different company boats and paid the same for it but they actually provided very cheap boats with extremely bad experience. When they continuously provided wrong boats then I finally complained during the third time (gilli to bali) to have the boats changed. Very very bad experience. Unethical ways to squeeze more & more profits from customers. 2. As per our package we were staying at nusa penida for 1 night but the whole nusa part was the worst. They booked us a day tour for us. We left bali hotel at 6:45 AM in the morning for nusa. Reached there and instead of taking us to hotel, they directly started the tour. Which would have been fine but the cab driver was very pushy. Like he didn't even let us enjoy a single place in nusa. He basically spent 10 seconds at Angel Beach where we all reached the point, he clicked 1 photo of ours and started saying go ahead we don't have time. Since we were hungry because of no breakfast so we stopped to have 1 coconut water but then also he got really annoyed with us. He basically didn't let us drink or eat anything till the lunch time before which he rushed to cover all three big beaches (angel, broken and Kelingking beach). The driver for nusa was full of attitude and had no humanity. He only cared of completing the itinerary (basically touching the spots and leave) and wanted to complete everything by 4 PM max. 3. We were vegetarians so hoped the hotels booked for us would have at least 1 vegetarian food. But when we asked the hotel for the same they completely denied which meant that even after the whole messy day we had no food option now and the driver had also left us at the hotel. There was no public transport option there as well. Finally we had to book a cab again through hotel (for which we paid separately) and ate vegetarian food by visiting a restaurant named Delhi 6. The whole day was very unplanned. 4. At gilli, we were on our own as per the itinerary which is fine. Only thing they had booked for us was boat to and from gilli and horse cart to and from hotel. Regarding boats, I have already mentioned above. If I talk about horse cart then those were not under the agency's control and nothing was booked in advance. They basically gave us the money at nusa to book ourselves the horse cart. We basically paid to agency to book us the horse cart which they gave us back after deducting their commission. Not sure why exactly did they charged us for this when we only had to book it. 5. We had booked monkey forest for ubud. We let the driver decide in which order he wants all the destinations to get covered. He said that we can easily cover all the places in the itinerary and still have a lot of time left. We specifically asked from the driver if there is a closing time or anything and he said no. He took us to monkey forest as the second last place at 6PM exactly at the closing time which meant we didn't even go inside. This again was something we had paid for already. I wouldn't lie, there were some good parts as well like the driver at kuta and ubud was really great except the fact that he didn't cover monkey forest and took us to ubud art market during closing time. Overall it was a very badly planned trip. Nusa Penida and the boats were the highlighting part. I feel a little cheated specially in these two cases.

I booked my package for Kashmir trip from Showkat Ahmed Travel Angels. Adnan has done really commendable job in providing best package to us and followed up at every moment to ensure we don’t face any issues

1. Our trip started on reaching Bali. My Musafir on behalf of Travel triangle was interacting and updating us regularly. Their response was good. 2. However only after we reached Bali Airport, that we received the driver details. This was a bit annoying. Also there was a lack of communication between driver and local team as driver was sent to receive us at International terminal whereas we landed @ Domestic terminal having travelled from Yogyakarta. This caused avoidable delay. Our driver Mr Komang was a competent driver with good knowledge of the routes & areas. However he was short of good English communicating skills. So we had to adopt to his style & it was interesting. 3. Another issue that got sorted with intervention of My Musafir Team was the daily issue of water bottle for the road trip. We are thankful to the team. 4. Where we felt that Travel Triangle & My Musafir teams needs to be more professional; is to have better analysis of time and space. Managing and working out the daily itinerary for the guests needs more deliberation. 5. Let me explain. Day2 : Golden Valley Waterfall not worth a visit. Should not be recommended to guests. Day 3. With GWK& Uluwatu temple Kecak Dance it was wrong to combine two beaches. Beaches should have been planned early morning & not in between during mid day. We had to miss out both the beaches. Day6: Due to poor time plan & waste of time @ Bali Swing we had to miss out the trip to Tegenungan Water fall. 6. All Eastern Coast beaches should be planned early morning whereas beaches on the Western Coast be planned with Sunset in view. 1. Hotel Kana Kuta was an excellent choice both in terms of comfort , cleanliness and food choices. Services were efficient & most cordial. 2. Visit. To GWK , specially the amphitheater where Balinese cultural dances were being performed. Also one of the main shop is a shopping delight. 3. Kecak Dance @ Uluwatu Temple was an unique experience. 4. Visit to Tirtha Ganga. A photographers delight. 5. We could actually watch & capture a Dolphine family swimming & @ play in Angel Billabong Bay in Nusa Penida. A photographers delight. 6. Handara Gate & Ulundalu Temples were worth a trip. 7. Sunset @ Tana Lot Temple was worth waiting for.

Hello Travel Triangle, We had our travel between 14th - 24th 1 day Malaysia and rest of the days in Bali. Arrangements were perfect and itinerary was well planned by Travelope/Travel Triangle. Also thank you for the last minute help with Malaysia visa as we had a 16 hours layover and the day trip around Kaula lampur was just perfect for a day visit. We covered Battu caves, Mosque, Petronas towers and china town. Bali we covered Tanah lot, nbc water activities, melasti beach, Garuda wishnu, Tegalallang Rice Terrace,uma pakel swing and coffee and tea tasting was amazing. Especially the lemon grass tea was refreshing. Next we also covered Tegenungan Waterfalls,tirtha empul, lempyan temple, tirtha ganga, Elephants at one of the resort near by Pondak sebatu villa in Ubud, sunrise Trek to mount Batur. We also covered Nusa penida for a day with view points of crystal bay,broken beach, kelingkan T rex,Angel's Billabong. We chilled in Gilli Island and the sunset was amazing. Overall service was amazing and thanks to Tanvi and Ronak for all the help for organising this trip. Good communications on WhatsApp and also by the local contact person Mr.Gusti. Drivers were friendly. Expect one driver at nusa penida he was hurrying us a lot and it was not cool he was judging very bad and the way he made his reactions would make you feel demotivated for a the trek at the T rex in nusa penida. Well after i finished the trek he was really shocked that I went down and came back. Well the beach down there is such an amazing place and not be missed at all!! One advice the drivers try to deviate and suggest places for shopping. We made sure to reject the places and said no for unnecessary stops as those place are simply a rip off. Overall well planned trip within budget. We had an amazing honeymoon

My trip to Bali was for 9 days. Overall it was good but it could've been better if little effort would've been put from Agent. Writing this review and I have all the proofs for whatever I am saying in this review. Read this before you choose Befikre Ghoomo as your travel planner. Better part : 1.Driver : Driver was good and had knowledge about all the places. He behavior was good. 2.Vehicle : The vehicle was good and clean. 3.Candle Light Dinner : This was the best part. The cabana setup candle light dinner at Golden Tulip was good. 4.Hotels : Hotels were good and staff and food was good. 5. Snorkeling : Snorkeling experience was good and is recommended. Parts which were not that Good: 1. Nusa Penida day tour. : Day not planned well. Did not get time for Angel and Broken beach. Nusa Penida Driver wasn't aware about anything, whether Snorkeling location, process or time required. Neither the agent was aware of the time it would take for different activites in Nuda penida 2. Watersports Experience : Agent charged money for watersports but did not tell about the frequency of the activities. We were given only 1-2 mins for each activity while the lowest time for any activity was 15 mins as per price card mentioned at the activity site. Agent did not tell us about this while making the booking. NOWHERE it was mentioned or discussed. Agent had it's own version of watersport activities timing which was not even mentioned at the site of the activity. 3. Uluwatu Sunset tour planning. : Watersports was completed within 1.5 hours and we were free by 12 afternoon. The next thing was Uluwatu sunset tour which was supposed to be visited during sunset. However, we were forced to be dropped at 12 afternoon for Uluwatu sunset tour. We requested to go to Hotel and then go for sunset tour in evening but Agent argued and forced that we can't go to hotel. Bad Part : Agent itself : Agent did not connect a single time during the trip. He assumed that everything might be going best and did not put effort to connect at least once to check if everything is going good. Agent did not care about the experience but was only focused on payment. Agent will tell 1000 things that they have office in Bali, they frequently travel but don't trust them. They don't have any knowledge about Bali. Gaurav and Mahesh planned the trip, while Mahesh had little knowledge but Gaurav had no clue of anything in Bali. While you read this review and they tell you that there are a lot of good review as well. But trust me, you could be the one who doesn't get the expected experience. . Don't take risk and choose a better travel agency but definitely go to Bali. The place is amazing.

We just returned from our trip and had an amazing time, would like to thank you Shubham for the same. The hotels you booked were superb. They all were in the best possible location both in terms of ease of transport and the view. Also, your activeness to get us the boarding pass on return flight is much appreciated. Would also like to say that we took a semi private sail boat ride in Santorini and would highly recommend it to your customers.the company name is angel sailing and it was the best time we had. Just a small suggestion though, if possible avoid booking flights on Egypt Air . We had a not so pleasant experience in all our 4 connecting flights through them . But again ,thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Co-ordination between Indian and Thailand travel agent is missing. Airport pick up itself failed - There was no one standing with our name card. We have activated international roaming and called driver and guided him to come to the gate. Travel agent did not pick up the call at this crucial time. 1. Without knowing if the sight was open or not, it was included in the itinerary and we were charged extra. 2. Hotel Early check-in at 10Am was there as per travel agent but we paid 600BAHT for early check-in and had to wait for an hour to argue all these things. It was so messy after travelling overnight with a small kid. 3. Vouchers were not given until asked. 4. Cab details were not provided until we followed up each time. 5. For Safari world, we got a driver who doesn't understand/talk English - Quote clearly says in Inclusions "English Speaking Driver" 6. Dinner Cruise, we got some corner seating at the end, could not enjoy the views/music much. Food was worst anyway..!!! @ Choa Phraya Princess Cruise 7. Phi Phi Island Tour organized by Sea Angel is Excellent 8. 4 Island Tour was done from Phuket which was very hectic - Phuket to Krabi ferry was almost 2 hours and then island tours. Back to phuket again 2 hours. Travel agent should have organized it better as i mentioned initially that we do not want travel more than 1hour. Instead they could have transferred us to krabi and we could have stayed overnight there for smooth island tour. Aa nang tour organized 4 Island Tour but not up to the mark Finally we felt the we spend more money choosing this travel agent, instead could have organized it better my own way..!

Hotels are best part. The house boat at Allipi is not up to the mark. Driver is cooperative . With few exceptions , everything did well. Thanks to Travel triangle for being part of our memories. Casa rio Resort at Attirapally is superb. Two days at Munnar was great, only the Ayurvedic massage at Angels spa, munnar disappointed. Overall it was a memorable trip.

I will mention what I didn't like first as rest all things were perfect. The only issue I had was with the 1st cab person who received us at Udaipur. He felt a little reluctant to take us to places and felt like he was trying to just move on. He called the morning when we were to leave Udaipur and told someone else will be taking us further in our journey, it was good because the 2nd cab person was an angel, perfect for our trip. I felt the agency should have called and informed us about the driver change, but it went all well from thereon. The hotels were good, smooth all around, just had a slight hiccup during check out at Udaipur but that was a delay from the hotel side. Sightseeing places were covered, just make sure you prioritize the places, there are many and you may not have time to visit all. Got all the help during the booking and all the queries were answered patiently and nicely.

Myself and my wife booked our US trip for 2 weeks through TMS Holidays overseen by Travel Triangle for travel in the first week of Feb 2020. Straight Away I would give them a thumbs Up for a thoroughly enjoyable and fully satisfied trip which included several states including our start from St Francisco , Los Angeles , Las Vegas , New York , Washington and Miami. The chief person in this entire trip RASHID is a perfect professional and a lovely person. I was circumspect about trusting such a big tour and the money being invested and god forbid get a bad deal in hotels or so but I must say that every service and co-ordination be it hotel or transfers or sight seeings etc were all precise and absolutely as agreed and understood between us. He is a very knowledgeable person and one who keeps his word and continuously follows up before the tour for any required changes and feeding of documents / tickets / vouchers etc as also whilst on tour as to our timing , any issues or dissatisfaction or any matter if at all. This is professionalism as usually tour operators take the money and look for their next potential customer without ensuring whether the clients are getting it all what they have been committed too. I have myself t ravelled a lot in the past 3 decades so I know where the tour operators can let you down and swallow a good chunk for their profits but with Rashid and TMS Holidays I am completely satisfied and the 9 out of 10 is because there is always room for improvement and few small things can be ironed out but they are not at any negative for me. I will surely consider TMS Holidays and Rashid for my future tours whenever and It is my honest statement that TMS Holdays with Rashid in it is GENUINE AND RELIABLE TOUR OPERATOR and wish he keeps and maintains the same good attitude and commitment. This is all possible when customers/ clients also make their requirement clear and confirm to the tour programme without any misunderstanding like I felt I had this understanding with them. I would also commend Babloo of the transfer section from Avis India who was excellent his co-ordination and regular follow ups and timely intimation of pick ups and drop offs even though it was very odd timing with the time difference in India and US., Good Luck and wish you the very best of success and Life always.
