    We had a wonderful experience with RoadToTrip. We had booked a trip to kashmir for June month but due to the unfortunate incident we postponed it and rescheduled it for this December. Throughout the executives Iqra, Farah, chetna all of them provided quick service. The driver Tufail Iqbal bhai was a
    lso too good. He drove safe very punctual made us enjoy local cuisines and helped find us better shopping spot too. We travelled with our 5 year daughter and felt very safe throughout the trip. The hotels provided were top class in its ambience location and services. We've already recommended RTT to our friends and colleagues who are planning trips for the upcoming holidays.

    Tejaswini's 6 days trip to Kullu

    Our experience with 3D Vacations from our recent Manali–Shimla trip was a great one. A special thanks to Rohit, who supported us from the very beginning—right from planning the itinerary and bookings to assisting us throughout the trip. He was always available to answer our questions, coordinated s
    moothly with the hotels (even informing them about our delayed check-ins), and made sure everything went as planned. The itinerary was well thought out, and the hotels and vehicle provided were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. We’d also like to thank our driver, Mandeep, who was polite, professional, and very knowledgeable about the local areas. He drove safely at all times—no rash driving or overspeeding—and ensured comfortable, family-friendly stops along the way. Even though heavy traffic meant we couldn’t cover every spot listed in the itinerary, he made sure we visited the best places based on our preferences. The highlight of our trip was definitely the snow experience and Rohtang Pass—it’s a memory we’ll cherish forever. Overall, our journey was smooth, well organized, and completely stress-free.
