Chaitanyakumar

Bengaluru

Chaitanyakumar's 7 days trip to Shimla

I opted EasyGo Vacation for HP trip of 12 Days, And I was right in choosing Aman joshi from easygo vacation. He has been very helpful right from the first day i interacted with him. He was willing to change the itinerary and make adjustments just the way I liked it to be. The selection of places a

nd the hotels with good view under a budget is what Aman good at. He is also good at explaining his thoughts. Our trip included Cab and transfers along with Hotels. And Driver - Goutam Sarkar was really nice person. He used to suggest time to leave the hotel each day before went to hotel at night and be ready 10 mins before we come down. he used to call us 30 mins before to make sure we get ready too. Hotel staff in all the locations were more than willing to help and accommodate our request. A pleasant family experience.! The rating can nothing be short of Extremely likely, because of Aman and Goutam. They were really nice persons to have interacted with. But there is small scope of improvement which I have brought to notice of Aman and hope he improves upon them for future tourists!

VISHAL BHATIA

Amritsar

Vishal's 6 days trip to Shimla

The experience with TT and Scape Tours was below satisfaction. The cab and driver service caused us inconvenience with the driver not providing service in accordance with our itinerary. Our booking had cab service until 10 pm but the driver was not willing to drive after 7 pm. This caused us inconve

nience especially given the fact that we were a family with 2 small kids. The payment process was also confusing as Scape Tour delegated our booking to another company and in the middle of the trip the driver of that company started asking us to pay them directly. Scape Tour was also not pro active in communicating when and how much payment installment is required for the booking. We would get a message one day to make same day payment and until we paid, we would constantly get messages and calls ( every 10-15 minutes) which was frustrating while we were in the middle of our trip. On the whole, the experience was less than satisfactory.
