What Travelers Say About Our Goa Trips

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    Jagrati's 5 days trip to Goa

    Hotels were great, but travel agency service fell short. ​The hotel accommodations were very good—we really enjoyed the overall vibe and location. However, our experience with the travel agent needs significant improvement. ​Post-booking responsiveness was almost non-existent, and timely responses to queries promised during booking were not provided. Additionally, there were transparency and pricing issues: ​Cab Booking: We were advised to book a cab outside TravelTriangle with a price fixed over WhatsApp, but the agent increased the fare on the actual day citing peak season. ​Scooty Rental: We were assured a scooty would be arranged a day prior to our arrival for ₹300–₹350/day. Upon arrival, we were directed to rent directly from the resort, which charged ₹800/day. ​Summary: Highly recommend the hotels, but cannot recommend the travel agency due to poor communication and unfulfilled commitments. .

    Ashutosh's 4 days trip to Goa

    Wonderful Goa trip with Bindas Trip! We recently returned from trip to North Goa, booked through Bindas Trip, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our stay at the Calangute Beach Resort was comfortable and well located, close to the beach, the markets and the nightlife, so everything was easy to reach. A special thanks to our agent, Firdaus Ansari. She was patient, polite and always available to answer our questions. She understood what we wanted, planned the itinerary well and handled every detail without any last-minute stress. Whenever we needed advise, she responded quickly and sorted things out right away. The whole trip ran smoothly, with no hidden surprises and good value for money. I'd happily book with Bindas Trip again and already recommended them to friends and family.

    Wanderglobe Inc Goa created a good experience for me and my family on our recent visit to Goa. Yes, there were initial hiccups with the stay however Mr Jack Fernandes was very understanding with the issues we had and went out of his way to make sure we had the best and pleasant experience. He was in constant touch with me throughout the trip making sure we had no issues. He also helped us in planning out daily itinerary which was really helpful. Would like to thank Mr Jack for all the help and support. Hoping to come back to Goa soon and will surely reach to Mr Jack for further assistance and planning.

    Sashutosh's 3 days trip to Goa

    We had a wonderful experience during our Goa trip, and overall everything was very well managed. The hotel stays were good. Terra Paraiso was particularly excellent — we really enjoyed our stay there and were very satisfied with the overall experience. Santiago Goa was also good and comfortable, although compared to Terra Paraiso, we found Terra Paraiso better. The cab service and driver were very good. The driver was polite, cooperative, and punctual, which made our sightseeing and transfers smooth and comfortable. The travel agent’s service was also very good. What we appreciated the most was that he regularly called and checked with us to make sure everything was going well. He kept us updated throughout the trip and was always available to ask whether the hotel, cab, sightseeing, and other arrangements were fine. This regular communication made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip. Overall, we had a very pleasant and memorable Goa trip. The arrangements were good, the service was reliable, and we really appreciated the effort put into making our trip comfortable. There is a little scope for making communication and updates even clearer, but overall we are very satisfied with the service and would be happy to recommend it to others. Some of the most memorable moments of our Goa trip were the cruise ship experience included in the package, Snow Park, Baga Beach, and the vibrant atmosphere of Tito’s Lane. The cruise ship experience was definitely one of the highlights of our trip and something we will remember for a long time. Spending time at Baga Beach, enjoying Snow Park, and experiencing the lively vibe of Tito’s Lane made the trip even more special.

    Bhargavgbd's 3 days trip to Goa

    We recently had a 2–3 day Goa trip booked through TravelTriangle, with WanderGlobe as the travel partner, and overall it was a very good experience. A special mention to Jack from WanderGlobe, who was very helpful and professional throughout the trip. He arranged everything nicely, kept us informed about the plans and timings in advance, and also made sure we were comfortable during the trip. He was always available and took good care of us. One small area for improvement would be to ensure that the taxi driver is provided with all the trip details and itinerary well in advance, so that there is better coordination during the trip. Overall, we had a pleasant and memorable Goa experience. I would definitely recommend TravelTriangle and WanderGlobe for a Goa trip, and would especially like to appreciate Jack for his excellent support and coordination. Thank you, Jack, for making our trip smooth and enjoyable! Thank to our travel triangle trip advisor Ms Umra Khan for her support and coordination.
