Ashish Sonu Vadodara

Pautalk's 6 days trip to Himachal

We booked our tour with travel on ease, for amritsar, dalhousie, dharamshala. They provided the local driver with tempo traveller. The driver was very good, and condition of tempo traveller is also at par. The hotels were also very good at dharamshala ( spring valley) and dalhousie (hotel ark by pax), except aura grand in amritsar was not upto the expectations, but it was part of tour. Otherwise good services, prompt response from the agent, good communication, and ease of travels.. overall we enjoyed the tour with travel ease. Thanks for the good services.. worth to book.

Knpoornimaadiga's 5 days trip to Himachal

A dreamy escape to Manali! Manali’s beauty left us speechless — snow-capped peaks, misty mornings, and scenic drives through pine forests. Loved exploring beautiful Solang Valley, snow in Koksar and Sissu. Loved strolling along Mall Road. The local cafes served delicious food with a cozy vibe. A perfect mix of adventure and peace. Can’t wait to visit again!

Srishti's 6 days trip to Himachal

Overall, my travel experience was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. A special thanks to Sandeep Sir from Turn On Vacations for his assistance. Hotel Welcome Paradise provided a wonderful stay. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the location offered a perfect view from the room. The food was good, although there is room for improvement, especially with dinner. The breakfast, however, was quite nice. Hotel Old Manali Retreat was good overall, but we faced some issues with the location on the map, as it was inaccurate. However, the view from the room was fantastic and definitely made my day. The staff and food were below average, though. Hotel Indrasan was another excellent property. The staff were polite, the food was very nice, and we had a good variety of options for both breakfast and dinner. Chalo Kasol Huts and Camp was a great camping option. Although there’s no view from the room, it is located near the river, which allowed us to enjoy the surroundings. The dinner here was excellent, with multiple varieties. It’s important to note that the timing for both dinner and breakfast is fixed. They won’t serve food before the designated time, and while the meals may be delayed, they won’t be served early. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to have breakfast on our last morning due to an early checkout, as my driver was in a hurry. Driver Experience: The driver was good overall. The first two days went smoothly, but his behavior changed on the activity day. We didn’t participate in any of the activities where he dropped us, which seemed to affect his attitude. On the last day, I had informed him multiple times that I needed to reach Chandigarh by 4 PM due to a 5 PM train. However, he had to pick up another traveler, and he dropped us off in Chandigarh at 2 PM. Due to his hurry, we missed our breakfast that morning.

Pradeep Nayak Bengaluru

Ravichandran's 5 days trip to Himachal

Hotel stay are fine. Food is good, we could not get South Indian food for our daughter as she is not able to accustom to north food. Cab and Driver were good. He is very cooperative and safe and good driving. We had only 2 things which could have been better. 1. We expected a driver who can converse with us in English, because we are poor in Hindi. But unfortunately that did not happen. 2. While returning back to Delhi the driver who was with us for all 6 days has transferred us to another driver for the last 3 hours drive. The new driver was not conversing at all. I did not even heard his name properly after asking 3 to 4 times. We asked him to stop for tea/coffee few times. In spite he did not stop and his answers were 1 word. Apart from that overall the trip is very memorable

Ravichandran Nagarajan Chennai

Nagraj's 7 days trip to Himachal

We had great experience with Travel Triangle and Travel Talkies. All sightseeing was covered on time by our driver cum guide Mr. Om Sharma. He had good knowledge of places and routes. We liked his service and attentive behaviour. We would surely recommend to our family and friends.

Prajakta's 6 days trip to Himachal

Booked Amritsar Dalhousie Dharamshala tour with ideal tours. Services of Hotel Sawera Grand at Amritsar were pathetic. The travel agent wanted us to remind her of the trip as she was busy with personal commitments. We had to wait for hotel rooms as the hotel was not informed about early check in. Despite full payment to the travel agent our check out was delayed as hotel was not paid. Driver drove recklessly in ghats causing motion sickness. The travel agent had no clue about booking at Wagah border and other trek details. Hotel DLS at Mcleodganj and Hotel Ark at Dalhousie were good.
