    Virendra Singh

    Pune

    Virendra's 9 days trip to Shimla

    I want to give 1 star but feedback is not submitting below 3 stars so i have to give them 3 stars forcefully. I did not attend the Himachal trip, not by choice, but because of the serious and unforeseen geopolitical situation that made travel unsafe and impossible. Despite reaching out via email for
    clarity and support, I received no timely or responsible response from your team. Flights were canceled, regions like Shimla and Dharamshala were under high alert, and travel was clearly not feasible. In such circumstances, citing standard cancellation policies and offering only a credit note is highly disappointing and insensitive. This experience reflects a lack of seriousness in handling customer communication and crisis situations. I expected better professionalism and empathy. I sincerely hope you take this feedback seriously and improve your communication, support, and refund policy handling in future cases.

    I had booked my entire 5N-6D trip through Turn on vacation for the first time and I am extremely happy with the experience with them, Thanks to Mr. Sandeep who arranged the whole trip and booked hotels as per our suitability. . Cab during the trip was very comfortable specially the cab driver was v
    ery polite and soft spoken. Overall It’s a wonderful experience. Will definitely recommend and consider Turn on vacation for our travels plans.
